M and s have lots of toys reduced. Our local one has an ELC section not sure if that's nationwide. Some things were Half price, lots of 20% off things

Hi can anyone recommend a basketball hoop/ stand for a young teen? Not one that attaches to wall. Thanks

I used code THANKYOU which some kind soul here suggested; the discount covered postage charge.

there was an offer till Friday of a free penhaligons scent library with the £30 mystery box but I believe that has ended, so may be worth waiting to see if another similar offer/free gift type thing happens, so you get more for your money?

Thanks @Famousthehero the code still works! The offer for the free scent library is still showing on their website so fingers crossed I get it still 🤞🏻

Could I ask if anyone has a student discount for Schuh? My daughter has asked for dr martens, and I hate buying something without a discount code.

There’s a good sale at character.com , it’s been on a while but still lots available. Also, if you sign up for emails you get a 10% off code that works on sale too.

I had some lovely Disney princess items delivered this week that I almost had paid full price for on the Next website.

these glasses look cool from not on the high street. They also have a cat version, dog is sold out

Deal: Polly Pocket Pajama Party Llama Party Large Compact, 25+ Surprises (includes 2 Micro Dolls), Outdoor Glamping/Sleepover Theme, Pop & Swap Feature, Ages 4 & Up, HHX74 amzn.eu/d/8ki6lho

Looks around £30 in other stores if there are any Polly pocket fans out there!

Deal: We're Going on a Bear Hunt: 1 (CBH Children / Picture Books) amzn.eu/d/3YFwxbf

This looks like a nice toddler bargain book!

Thank you Ginny26. Unfortunately the code wouldn’t work because I have a sale item in my bag.

@Ehunt1 ahh sorry! I think blue light is usually only on full price items

Does anyone know how many scents are in the penhaligons scent library with the beauty box?

@Famousthehero posted a photo a little while back...

Here is a screenshot 🙂

Ah, thank you!

My daughter is lusting over Victoria Secret body sprays, I vaguely remember deals from previous years. Does anyone know when I'm best to buy? Is it a wait for Black Friday thingy?

Also - non christmas but next Saturday is national cinema day so films are £3 per ticket in most large cinemas (cineworld/vue/Picturehouse/odeon etc) - September 2nd only!

@Disguise101 @LDB1985
LDB has a paw patrol mitt for Disguise

@Ginny26 bluelight has asked that codes are not shared on public forums. Companies are going to stop offering discounts if they become aware of leaked codes.

@Yeknom thank you, I just booked cinema for DH and DC1.

Thank you @Cantthinkofadifferentname I Planned to go through the threads tomorrow but no chance today (4 month old and toddler)! @Disguise101 let me know what you want me to do 👍🏻

@Yeknom I bought some on Friday in store for Dd. They were 2 for 24£ or 4 for 40£ which felt a good deal.

@Haveyoubrushedyourteeth oh thank you for that. I'll see if I can pop into town asap

No problem. I've never been in before, but was pleasantly surprised at how nice they smell and I know Dd will be just as excited about the bag and scented tissue paper as she is with the sprays. Oh to be 11 again!

The packaging is rather cute isn't it 🙈 She's got a good collection of sample sprays on their little cards so I thought she'd be super surprised with one in her stocking :)

I can take a photo tomortow but from the top of my head; collagen sachets, a cute cuticle oil, a nice lipstick, sachet of hair mask, a smallish cleanser, a satin sleep mask, and a few other things. With the prnhslibins I costed it up at nearly £200 words
