Thank you! Now I just wait for mine to arrive and hope it’s just as good😀

Thanks for the Victoria Secret tip off. My dd loves them so have ordered a couple for her stocking. It's free delivery to any Next store.

Also, anyone ordering from Look Fantastic, you can opt in at Quidco for a £10 bonus on a £40 spend.

Good lord sorry was watching tv over my phone and I cannot type 🙈

RJ I remember you’re up in Scotland (we’ve shared many a Christmas thread over the last decade!) but that wasn’t any Scots, Gaelic OR English I recognised 😁

I need more info on how to obtain a soft toy (large? filled with other soft toys (baby ones!) . Ideally I need 3 very similar but different ones. Suitable for 13yo girl, 9yo girl and very-nearly-3yo boy. All pretty chill when it comes to soft toys though! Is China my only option?

@TheGirlWhoLived I’ve only seen them on the likes of Ali Express/Temu/Amazon/Ebay, never in real life shops or high street online retailers. I got dd one last year from Ali Express and was impressed with the quality although some people aren’t keen on the safety issue from there but I think the ones you see on EBay/Amazon are the same ones you can get normally for cheaper on Aliexpress.

I received mine about a week after ordering.
Hope you get yours.

I think I saw something like these in miniso when we were in town last week.

I've seen them on shein too. So if quality is bad at least its free returns!

Wow @LDB1985 thats so kind of you! I’m happy to pay you for it, I will private message you. Thank you!

Morning, this is not for Christmas but an 18th birthday. Looking to buy a hotel voucher from red letter days and keep getting discount codes. Does anyone know the best discount they offer throughout the year.

Thanks

Those of you who've used Holy Grail Nail for nail wraps - what age would the kids ones go up to? Have a 15 year old (so thinking adult) and 12 year old to buy for (not so sure for her)

Single use code £7 off £75 at argos until 5th Sept if anyone can use it

ACWDLE232H2N

Also there’s £2 back on a £10 spend on topcashback today if you activate the offer

Does anyone know if Smyths toys do any codes? I have a basket full waiting to check out. Thanks x

Hot wheels chomping mega wrex is a great price on Amazon ☺️

Thanks! I’ve not used aliexpress, but don’t really want to pay the premium of Amazon just for being a philistine … not sure I entirely agree with them only being made there, might be back to the drawing board! It was only to bulk out the present pile really, we usually get a soft toy of some kind (got some great squishmallows from aldi last year)

As an aside;
50CHE35ESAL3
gets you 50% off the cheese truckles Mexican sweet chilli cheddar, roast dinner cheddar, and an orange and whiskey cheddar. All on the chuckling cheese company

it might be a bit early for expiry dates but I’ve gone for the Mexican sweet chilli and if it goes out of date too early I can always munch it 😄

They’ve said 2-6 months unopened shelf life so i think November might be the earliest for presents

@TheGirlWhoLived do you mean like those awful pregnant guinea pig things? I saw them on offer in town the other day but can't remember where (sorry!) and looked like there were other options of animals.

@Callmesleepy haha no, that sounds creepy! More like the attached screenshot. Only I’m on a budget so don’t really want to pay £30 😂

@TheGirlWhoLived I think I've seen something like this in Claire's. They've only got one type online, I don't know if they'd have more in store still. But they do have their buy 3 get 3 offer in store, so if you've got one close it might be worth a look?

Can someone repost the football shirts link please? I need an XL Italy shirt. I'm clueless with football stuff. Thanks.

Type 'pudding plush' into Amazon and there are some of the stuffed snack pillows for under £20

WHSmith emailed me a code for 25% off purchases over £30 today, it works on the National Book Tokens and XBox gift cards too! A £50 card costs £37.50 now.
Also, they sell Caran d'Ache art materials, and it's a huge saving off those.
Pokémon cards and a few of the large, expensive Lego sets available as well.

I have one more code off my other email if someone would like it dm'd.

@evtheria I'd love it if possible! Many thanks

I somehow missed the 10% discount for Holy Grail when I signed up with my email. Does anyone remember it?

I've a basket waiting. Thanks for posting they are lovely and perfect for my granddaughters.
