Not necessarily a bargain but can anyone recommend a company selling American sweets in uk? I want to get some 'odd' sweets for my dad as he likes to try odd things! 😂

I’ve bought a selection off eBay of Japanese kitkats before - they come in all sorts of weird and wonderful flavours

Feel like the world's worst sheep. I've been so jealous of everyone's Cadbury's order I've just paid full price. What an idiot. Hardly a bargain if you don't need it.
Anyway. I need to buy about 3 gifts (totalling about £40) for a 17 yr girl. She's not really "into" anything. Ie not really into music or a sport or anything. So sort of generic but want to look like I've made an effort. Just thought a portable phone bank charger might be good. Any suggestions from parents of teenage girls very welcome.

we order from mollies sweet shop a lot, always good quality and often a nice little freebie added molliessweetshop.com

We've used Mr Singhs Canadian Things many times (I know Canada isn't America but many of their sweets znd pop are the same). Also Farmfoods had loads of US tins of pop in last week for £10 which is quite cheap for AW rootbeer, American Fanta, vanilla Dr pepper etc I noticed they also had some American sweets in relatively cheap. I picked up some Swedish fish for my son.

@onedayatatime73 Benefit sets are popular amongst DD18’s peers.
Cosy pyjamas, fluffy socks.
Lush snow fairy.

Where do I look for a case for an iPad Air 5 gen with pencil holder please?
Just had a look on Amazon and can’t cope with so many!
ideally something pretty print but suitable for 20 year old dd or potentially with pandas on!!
I thought I was finished ☹️

For hard to buy teenagers before I've bought a nice wallet/purse and filled it with cash and/or vouchers e.g. Coffee shop and clothes shop vouchers, so they can have a nice shopping day.

Typo are quite good for teen stocking fillers

Has anyone seen any jars of Cavendish and Harvey boiled sweets about? They seem to be really hard to find this year (and I've probably left it too late)

Have any supermarkets got 25% off wine at all?

Tesco did today. And lots of wines have money off so a double saving

Saw lots of ericaceous candy on farm foods earlier today

Sigh. Try again. I saw lots if American candy in farmfoods earlier.

I've got a head cold and can't think straight 🥴

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. No farm foods near us but will try the others.

@onedayatatime73 I’ve always thought these chargers make a good gift, never bought for a teenager though!

@Isyesterdaytomorrowtoday I did chargeback a few days ago as I've heard nothing from Honestly Eco about my order since I placed it. I have though been spammed with emails urging me to buy more.

@BloodyMabel that is lovely!

Still nothing from scrawlrbox. Am pretty mad, I need it for this week as that's when seeing SIL. Has everyone else got theirs?

@FilthyforFirth Yes I got all mine at once about a week ago. Ordered it whenever it was shared on these threads.

Yeah I seem to be the only one annoyingly. Also ordered the day it was posted, argh!

I don’t have my order yet @FilthyforFirth

Have they responded to you at all @LostMyUserName? They replied once tk say one of the boxes I ordered was out of stock, but I have sent 2 more since which they have ignored.

Think I need to request a refund and try and find something else... Sigh.

I’m also waiting on my scrawlrbox although I bought just one of the standard reduced £5 boxes after the offer was posted on here. They’ve emailed me a dispatch email and then a sorry we can’t fulfill it email. I questioned this and had a bit of a sarcastic email back saying more or less obviously if I’ve received a dispatched email then it’s on its way isn’t it. I’ll give it till end of week then chargeback on card I think.

Anyone got any free delivery codes for dunelm? Thanks
