Has anyone bought anything from Dimprice? Looking at getting DD a iPad but never heard of the website before today.

Ignore me. Just looked on Trustpilot and the recent reviews are not good. Back to the drawing board.

Well M&S you are fast losing my business... other folk seem to be getting lively gin, prosecco, chocolate, pig related things etc etc but today's offering to me was 15% of festive toilet paper!!! Ffs!

Snap! I can't see the point of their '12 days of Christmas '

I received the smashed grapes £30 voucher. I’ve just tried to print it and it says it’s been disabled. Has anyone else had this? I definitely haven’t used it yet. I wanted to print it as a Christmas gift as the box was originally ordered as a present. So frustrating!

Just out of interest has anyone completed the 7 day TikTok referral & got their vouchers??

VolcanicProtectorMan · 09/12/2022 08:45

@Disneyland2022 Yep, and vouchers already spent 😅

I wanted to used it to send for the voucher to give as a gift instead but mine was deactivated too so I contacted them and they have said it is only for use in the new year as apparently their email clearly stated!!! I believe it should be activated in Jan, I don't think the wording was that clear to be honest and I know some people used theirs straight away which is confusing.

Thank you for the heads up on the mama guinea pig at Argos, whoever mentioned it on the last thread!

Mrsfussypants1 · 09/12/2022 08:58

Sink n sand game £12.99 Amazon. That's the lowest I've seen it go, I've been tracking it for a while and twitched. (In my defence I had a £5 of £20 Amazon voucher)

I had the email of cancelled smashed grapes boxes although ordered on the first day. No refunds and no voucher either. I wasn't expecting them to send them though so will order a hamper from somewhere else to cover the missing present.

Started work and can't find time to keep up with the Christmas threads anymore 🙃

@psuedocream3 check your junk mail which is where I found mine. Despite others turning up in my inbox.
I spent my voucher straight away but I think the wine is out of stock. There’s a discrepancy between stock of the single bottles (out of stock) and the half cases. Surely you would just open one of the boxes though. More profit on mixed boxes then selling them off cheap as a case.

I think I've been following these threads for about 8 or 9 years and I finished the thread! Years ago it was a massive competition to do that! how sad am I 😂😂

I just popped on to congratulate you @ZIGGY911!

ChristmasCwtch · 09/12/2022 09:33

Lots of Mama Surprise Guinea pigs in stock now at my local Argos stores. My sister was looking for another for my niece as I could only find one previously for DS.

Feel sorry for anyone who paid £110+ on eBay!!

Board game people - my DS has Catan and loves it. I’m looking at getting him Carcassonne, but are they a bit too similar?

No they are very different and you won't regret having both.... in fact I would say if you are building a decent games collection you need both

Last min addition to her Santa list for my DD is a rainbow fairy outfit. She was quite specific that she wanted wings, a wand and a dress/skirt all rainbow. Problem is she 6/7 age in clothes and everything I’m
finding seems aimed more at toddler/preschool sizes. Any ideas? Bonus would be matching soft toy with same colours or squishmallows as she loves “matching”.

I got mine. I also referred a friend so got £36. Vouchers spent (including that beautiful illustrated Harry Potter) and TikTok deleted!

BloodyMabel · 09/12/2022 09:58

@JingleMingle this one is size 3-8 (not sure that’s a size!)

This one doesn’t say a size but I love it!

Could you spend them on anything or was it books? X

Smashed Grapes question

I received the gift card in place of order they couldn't fulfil now the gift card says disabled. I have emailed them. Anyone else have this?

WheresTheCoffee · 09/12/2022 10:22

@ZIGGY911 congrats on finishing the last thread, reminds me of the old days!! 🎅🎅Its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

Georgieporgie29 · 09/12/2022 10:23

@Worriedmum42 i think it’s been answered further up that the gift card is for use in the new year and will be activated and usable then.
I’m not actually sure that I will use the gift card so actually feel like I am out of pocket for the delivery fee I’ve paid, I’m wondering whether to just email them and ask for that back
