Has anyone got an Argos code I could use on £6 please??

FleasNavidad · 11/12/2022 12:18

Cutlery is a very tricky ask but I'm particular about mine. Maybe try TK Maxx

Glad to hear all is well Reastie. Notnal
service is resumed 😁

snowmanshoes · 11/12/2022 12:23

Yes of course, I won't use it so very happy for you to pass it on.

Brilliant, thank you. If anyone wants a build a bear code messaged so they can use later just let me know and I will send it on.

Also the code works with FREEDELIVERY for free postage over £30. You just need to make sure your basket total is £30 after the code has been applied.

What is the trick to getting the 3 M&S shortbread for £6 please?

doistayordoigo · 11/12/2022 12:40

Having trouble with the Trespass website, maybe I am being particularly stupid today, but I can't see how to checkout? When I click on My Basket it shows me my first three items, but can't scroll down or see a checkout option?

My adult niece has just bought her first home and has asked for nice cutlery for Christmas. Little did I know that decent cutlery is really expensive!

Can anyone recommend a decent but reasonable cutlery set?

A lot of the sets I've seen only have 4 place settings, which means she'd have to buy another matching set to have enough, which i don't want to burden her with. So I'm hoping to find minimum 8 place settings.

We bought some from Sainsbury's....look nice. A good 'ferl' in your hand

Has anyone seen a good hat, snood and gloves set for a 10 year old boy that has a fluffy/fleecy lining? I ordered these from M&S, but they’ve just arrived and I’m not that impressed - they don’t feel very cosy. Any suggestions for the same kind of thing but more snuggly?! (buying them separately would also be fine as long as not too expensive)

the Chocolate Society doing 20% off hot chocolate- including their hot chocolate shaker - with code HOTCHOC till midnight on Monday December 12
hot chocolate shaker was a hit with pre-teen DD last year and has been used a lot this week in the cold weather so would recommend

sprongle1 · 11/12/2022 14:01

Can anyone suggest a good Board Game for an 11 year old boy? Really struggling to know what to get as so much choice!

psuedocream3 · 11/12/2022 14:31

Has anyone else recieved a cancelled £30 smashed grapes voucher? My order was cancelled, and went to spend the voucher on something else and its not valid - says cancelled. Not great customer service at all.

Talisin · 11/12/2022 14:36

@psuedocream3 They have subsequently clarified that it will not work until the new year.

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 11/12/2022 14:40

Thanks to whoever it was who recommended the dungeons and dragons mug and tumbler set.
We did gift exchanging yesterday (st Nicholas-adjacent) because dd is away with her bf for Christmas and the boys are with their dad.
Anyway dd's bf loved it. And dd has been given some hairy milk

Thank you, I didn't get the message! I'm still chasing a refund from them too.

abitunhinged · 11/12/2022 14:45

Very grateful for all the threads usually just a lurker but need some help. Bought my daughter a refurbished Apple Watch 6. As it wasn’t on her list and just an extra (she hadn’t asked for very much) thought I would just go refurbished anyway it came,
great condition but no box which makes it look like nothing. I’ve tried marketplace without success and the only one in stock on eBay is closed for the holidays. Does anyone please have any ideas where else I could purchase an empty box before I regret the gift completely. (Or alternatively something I could put it in)Thank you!

You could say you wanted it to look like a fancy watch rather than a piece of tech, as it's a gift

Colourbrain is a good one? It's on Amazon, but am sure other places sell it.

@paintyhands re Oils - I mostly use Aromatherapy Associate oils as there are loads I love (not so familair with Neom oils) & I decant them into the NEOM bottle to use in the mini pod - you can do the other way round too - the bottles the oils are sold in are slightly different sizes.

Abigfeckingspider · 11/12/2022 16:00

I have an Apple watch box if you would like it
