I've given in and ordered the vase set. I think for my niece as she's got a new flat. Or maybe for me.

For those that splash out on beauty advent calendars the look fantastic one is out today (or I’ve noticed today!)
£565 value priced at £99 - pre-order

Hi everyone. I've not found anything of interest yet. Although mine are 11 and 13 so aren't into toys and sadly I don't have many others to buy for.

I've always followed the treads (change my name lots). I've found in the past, people just jump on the bandwagon and order something because it's a bargain. They then say they've no idea who to give it too. I always think that's a weird way of saving money. Also people with primary age kids buy a toy someone posts on here just because it's on offer and I think isn't it better to buy something your kid has asked for and will play with?

I did this for the first time only last year with the Smashed Grape boxes. I don't even drink red wine. We ate the cheese.

There doesn't seem to be much of that on here (yet). Sorry for the moan. I don't know why this annoys me. My autistic brain never shuts off. Don't get me wrong times are hard and we need to save as much as we can.

Any make up / skin care offers welcome 😂😂

I have just ordered heated throws from Lakeland for my dad and mil. They are 20% off on the site making them 55.99 but I had a single use 20% off (on the sheet of coupons that they send out quite often). Tried it and they stacked so got an extra 20% off. Might be of use to someone.

After all the years of Velvetisers on here, dd has decided she would like one! Any idea what/when the best price usually was? Thank you.

Not sure if it's been posted already but Smiggle have 50% off things at the moment. I got a couple of stocking fillers and new lunchboxes for next week when school starts.

Whattheduck · 02/09/2023 13:05

My local Sainsbury’s had a lot of stationary reduced and also lunchboxes and drinks bottles when I popped in this morning.

Another happy bridal beauty customer. Thank you to whoever originally shared. I’ve been wanting to get collagen anyway and the one that’s in the box is £40 although at the moment I see it on offer for £31 which is still more than the whole box cost.

I had my first sachet this morning and it tasted awful but that’s a different story…!

I mixed my second sachet in with a glass of pink grapefruit squash this morning and it was slightly less grim than the one yesterday I just mixed with water. They better have an amazing effect for the nastiness factor!

Thanks for all the input in this thread, I’ve got vases, books, biscuits (on order) for gifts, and I love the bridal beauty mystery bag. No one’s getting their hands on any of that. I’m totally rubbish at finding deals, so I really appreciate all the posters who find them and share them.

🐑🐑🐑🐑!!🤣🤣
I caved ...and got 3 X biscuits;!

The vases are not on the same deal at the moment...

bizzey · 02/09/2023 13:41

I love all these deals and no , not always 💯 per cent sure who is getting them ...but I know any of the gifts would work with any of them.

I also have to help my elderly mother with her Christmas gifts.

She can't get out to browse and choose any more so by me having various things already for her to choose from for her friends really helps her.

Also...I would never have thought to buy the desk fans for the dc's until I saw them on here and thought ...perfect !!

I feel I am 1/2 way done now 😁!

bizzey · 02/09/2023 13:43

@Maharajah20 thank you for the dates !

ChurroChuryummy · 02/09/2023 13:52

@Conqueeftador and anyone else who got the bridal beauty collagen, you get a much better result with it if you put the collagen powder in a glass and add the liquid to it within a few minutes it's completely dissolved. The first few times I added the powder to the liquid and it didn't dissolve as well. HTHs!

My turtle doves box arrived with no gloves in the box!!! 🤨I’ve emailed them so will let you know how they respond.

@KTSl1964 😲 hope they sort that out for you! How on earth could they manage that.

bizzey · 02/09/2023 14:08

Last year I ordered 2 pairs and only got 1.
They sorted it out very quickly.
That was the eBay site.

RainbowZebraWarrior · 02/09/2023 14:10

Had a good browse around Hobbycrafts Christmas stuff earlier. Got some great silicone moulds for £2. Ice cube sized and larger moulds like Christmas trees and Christmas houses. I use mainly for making soaps, but also thinking of chocolate creations.

Picked up a couple of these as they fit with my Christmas decor theme. Only £2 each. Smaller size were the same price. Will look lovely with tealights inside. Size wise, they are 3.5 inches tall by 3 inches diameter.

Thanks to the lovely person who gave us the link to the biscuits.
I've ordered 6 tins, as I like to have small gifts to give to anyone popping in at Christmas - and both men and women like biscuits 🙃

Beckafett · 02/09/2023 14:48

Thank you, I think I’m getting this as part of my eldests Xmas- she seems happy about it being part of her gifts as she’s really getting into skincare and make up

bizzey · 02/09/2023 15:07

I thought the same @bizzey but if you scroll down to "other sellers on Amazon" they are there for £10.49

AHH thank you @SgtCatherineCawood

bizzey · 02/09/2023 15:23

I think I am now going to have to start the reorganization of my bedroom for all these parcels and boxes that are starting to accumulate 🤣🤣!

You're welcome. I am trying not to twitch as the only person I can think of is MIL and I am trying to limit my wife work this year 🤣

ZeroFucksGivenToday · 02/09/2023 16:08

I have just ordered 4 tins of the biscuits, they're perfect for a couple of friends and my lovely neighbour too :)

MakeTeaNotWar · 02/09/2023 16:34

Waitrose, to £9
