@coffee thanks for the Debenhams watches link, my brother is Hobby Man so a dive watch is an easy win.

Watching all the Thomas talk with interest, my DD is a big fan of Percy so if anyone sees anything, bedding pjs toys please let me know!

I’m also in for train/Thomas ideas. Love, love love that picture @WhyDoesItAlways!!

The Thomas advent calendar is quite good. It’s only minis but they are Christmas themed ones. Ideal if you haven’t had it before. We have and unfortunately they didn’t seem to change much (if at all!) when my youngest had it last year.

Santa brought this for my DS when he was 18 months and he still loves it at 4!
It plays the real Thomas tune 😊

@Ehunt1 fab offer. Thank you.

Grabbed a rose gold one for my daughter for her room. The silver is now sold out so didn't get one for myself, but what a bargain for her present.

Gruum have an extra 20% off sale prices today with code EXTRA20. Good for a few stocking filler's perhaps!

Thanks for the Turtles Doves! Hope I get some nice colours, I got in right at the end last year and only got blacks and greys.

That book looks great, thanks. I’ll keep an eye out for a soft toy one too but have ordered the book in the meantime!

Just had a look on photobox and they have 50% off site wide. Lots of nice personalised photo gift ideas.

Just got a mirror for each of my girls, thank you!!

Just got 2 mirrors, thank you.

I ordered these for stocking fillers

I bought them last year and they were so small they were tight on my 10 year olds hand.
They let me return them though so that was good.

Joining for another year - was glad to see Robert make an appearance. He's an icon of the Christmas threads!

Not Christmas, but it's National Cinema Day on Saturday and tickets are £3. Might be a nice end of holiday treat/break from the Christmas shopping!

Came on just to say about the ebay Turtle Doves! Got them a previous year and was so happy. Noticed as well that you can't ask for a colour pallete but I've still ordered another two pairs 😂 one for me and one for my mum.

Re Christmas train, was it a Hornby one?

Although it’s Wednesday Boots has £10 Tuesday offers today.

I haven’t got to the end of the thread yet so may have been posted but Blade and Rose have a summer sale and I got this for dh’s little dggs. An extra 10% off with BABYCHARLIE. Their leggings/tights are lovely so I thought it was quite a bargain.

Do the Turtle Doves from eBay come in packaging or are they loose gloves?

Boxtails have 40% off the 12 and 24 boxes of cocktails, code SUMMER40

They come loose, but in a little slim cardboard postage box which could be wrapped (the seconds don't usually have the little Turtle Doves sleeve around them that the full price ones do)

Not sure if these are any good to anyone? Perhaps can be used in store by keying in the voucher number. Don't have a Lakeland anywhere near me.

Ooh I love Boxtails.
I split a few into older teens stockings last year.

@CandyCaneLane0 @Theimpossiblegirl do you know what expiry dates are usually like on Boxtails please?

The website says minimum 9 months shelf life
