As PP mentioned, I also have Kipozi straighteners after having GHDs and would suggest they are just as good.

@Amazonmulu

My Turtle Doves order hasn't arrived yet. I just wondered if others have received their orders?

Recently replaced GHD's with Remington hydraluxe - really impressed with them. I like that they have different temperature settings

Can anyone recommend a hair dryer that can cope with long thick hair. Prepping for the sales as not a Christmas present but Christmas party has highlighted needs

Does anyone have a suggestion for someone’s that’s just got into knitting? Language is a struggle so I guess patterns wouldn’t work as you need to read bits I’m assuming?

Can anyone recommend a really cosy dressing gown for a 12 year old boy?

@Howmanysleepsnow My husband has a heated plug in fleece blanket that he loves, I may get him a long hot water bottle for Xmas or a heated cushion. Would he like something like that?

@Howmanysleepsnow i would get him some Cosy slippers!

I picked up an illustrated version of Harry Potter following on a recommendation from these threads and just wanted to hop on to say wow!! It’s stunning, got it for £16, but looks so expensive, a real gift to treasure.

Checking in thanks!

Good morning, thanks for the new thread

Please can I ask for help for two teenagers?

I've been in hospital for the past five months and Christmas has rather crept up on me.

Two goddaughters that I forgot (sorry!) - so perhaps something from Amazon that will actually arrive in time.

One is 11, and pretty standard interests for her age. The other is 16 and came out as non-binary last year, with a new name etc.

The family is very eco-conscious, left wing, liberal etc but I don't really know the children that well individually.

Any thoughts?

Kipozi are great but I think they have changed name to Stylocks. They are from Amazon and £22.
Stylocks

I really love my Glamoriser straighteners too, they are found in Amazon and in Argos, purple or black and under £50

@Howmanysleepsnow this isn't what you were asking, but for future reference if you need it, my ol' man wears a 4xl and I've bought lovely clothes for him from next. Lots of stuff goes up to 4/5xl, is proportioned really well and doesn't cone with the 'big and tall' type branding you get from places like jacamo. Great if you wanted stuff like matching pjs too.

Thanks for the new thread Reastie!
Asda George online have a great sale on their Christmas clothing if anyone is still looking for bits or even to put away for next year!

This LEGO Tractor is only £10 which seems like a great price

Forgot to say these are Tesco e-vouchers you can send to yourself or to others. 20% off is an amazing deal and you could just use them for general Tesco shopping if you buy the Tesco one or there are loads of other choices.

For the goddaughters I'd say maybe try and avoid amazon if they're a lefty Liberal family. Maybe some kind of subscription or experience. There are a lot of book, art materials, snack subscriptions available. Or something like go ape, or art class voucher?

It's this one: Chocolate society shaker

@Schnooze did you manage to get this to work? I followed the link but unless I am mistaken there are only 3 cards that you can choose from- Pizza Express , Wayfair and one other.

It's gorgeous, isn't it? I've wrapped it for my DD who will be 6 in April but think it might be a bit grown up for her yet. I've been reading her Roald Dahl but I think HP might still be a bit complex.

Scroll down. There are loads of different ones.

@Schnooze
But the offer is only on the three in the first picture.
I just tried other cards and no discount

You are right. So sorry. Yes just pizza express, wayfair and Bella Italian/iguanas/cafe rouge.

Thank you the poster who recommended The Wintertide Bear, I got copies to gift to my two toddler nieces and one for my youngest who’s now reading by themselves.
