Maybe a voucher to go for afternoon tea together?

In relation to smashed grapes, I asked for my delivery fee to be refunded and it was done the following day, no questions asked. Voucher was live now appears to be invalid. Perhaps because of the refund...

This is a random one: we've got a Melissa and Doug advent tree, the one with all the little pieces but a couple have disappeared. Any idea where we could buy more? They've got them on eBay but they're very pricey.

Regarding SG I emailed them yesterday at 12:19 (I replied to the gift card email) about the gift card being invalid and asking them to refund me and cancel the voucher. I got a reply at 12:42 apologising and saying the voucher was to be used in January and confirming that a refund had been processed.

No idea why some of you haven't had a reply.

We like exploding kittens

Oh yes I remember the robot haha. Other memorable items were the cookie jars (did they moo or something or have I imagined that? 🤔) and the ikea goats.

@NickMyLipple I have a 3 week old baby if that counts? I’m mostly a lurker though 😂

5poundstuff has kids blanket hoodies in and one adult ‘lightweight’ one. I bought the kids size the first time they had them in the summer and it was lovely, not an oodie though!

I remember those robots, I bought one too. You had to feed it plastic tokens to make it talk I think.

Congratulations @VolcanicProtectorMan 😊

@Pawport I remember the cookie jar year!

@GirlWithTheYellowHat how is that tiny baby 9?!? I remember that year too.

Which was the year someone put all their presents in a black bin bag and they got thrown out? I think of that every year!

Love these threads...
Was it on here that someone recommended the Woodland gift company? My gifts arrived yesterday and were lovely. Beautifully packaged and exactly what I hoped they'd be so thank you!

9 years ago was my first time too (several name changes later). I do love the spirit here and the ideas for things I've never thought to buy. People think I'm such a great gift chooser but it's all thanks to you.

I always think of the presents in the black bag too. Was it a poster called ihopeyousteponalegopiece or have I misremembered?

Royal Mail didn't deliver my Funko Pop figures from Zavvi, claiming they were never collected. Zavvi said they were dispatched at the end of November, but they'll try and resend 3 of the 4 still in stock. No idea when that will be. Locally there have been multiple misdeliveries reported by both RM and Evri.

Does anyone have an o2 priority Disney code?

No way?! Really? That's so good- I'm so chuffed for you. It really is completely marvellous stuff. AND a total bargain at £8 ish as it lasts me months. Celebrate your good hair days! 🥳

Everyone needs hair milk! It is the spray in the yellow bottle. It actually smells of vanilla milkshake, it's divine: when they were younger my DC used to plead for some after swimming as a treat 😆.

I've been using it for 10 years and it's the only thing I use in my hair. It's £13/14 in my salon and usually £15+ on Amazon, so a bargain right now.

Another convert Bluezoo. Yeah!

God this thread's dangerous - just caved and bought the hair milk!

(After taking it in and out of my Amazon basket about five times since the original post!)

🤣🤣🤣 Fantastic. But it's a bargain for YOU, you don't do many of those I'll bet, so definitely worth twitching.

Well my SG order that had been despatched (after one cancelled), has been delivered - somewhere in Tyneside apparently! Nowhere near where I live.
I believe this happened to someone else too. Seems very odd indeed

I picked this up from my local Boots today, there were plenty available by the No7 counter. It might be better buying it directly from the shop to ensure that you have it in time for Christmas.

So late to be asking but I need ideas for DBro (40) please. I bought aftershave for his Nov birthday. Usually get a few presents/little stocking as I'm his only family. So far have a bit of Molton Brown and a nice candle. Trouble is he usually buys whatever he wants.
He loves his dogs, Irish whiskey, slightly sweet tooth. Not really a reader or sport lover. Slightly interested in cooking. Please, please help!

who remembers Robert and his unfeasibly well endowed horn?

@friskybivalves thank you for trying to help :)

@wonderingwhatnext* how about a cineworld cinema box with vouchers for snacks, drinks and x 2 cinema tickets.

Disney code if anyone needs one
