Yes. It was the s’mores gift sets in the sale.

@Barbiefan it was the red one, it's gone back up to £50 now. I pondered for too long and missed it 🙄

Seen these in B&M today, I think the gold coins look pretty good. Usually they're just nondescript balls/shapes in different boxes. Might leave a trail of plasticky glitter in the bathtub that will last loooooong after Christmas, though 😬

Thankyou to whoever it was that gave the reminder to hurry up for the Naked Marshmallows. Smores kits x 4 ordered for stockings.

Dose anyone know if jellycat ever have sales or deals?

There's a website called campus gifts that often has 20% off selected jellycats. So could be worth a look. The postage kind of cancels out the discount for me, although it might be free if you spend over 60£ now I think.

@ITSSSSCHRISTMASSS you could also try Temptation Gifts, who often have a sale or a % discount offer: Temptation Gifts Jellycat

Thanks @Haveyoubrushedyourteeth and @ClaraTheImpossibleGirl

@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl im actually watching Into the dark with Clara as I’m typing this 😆

Lisa Angel sell Jellycats and they do go in the sale. There are 2 or 3 on sale now. I have bought a few from them during the sales. Think John Lewis also include them in their sales.

I was too slow, all balls sold out now. Just Chelsea goalie gloves left.

Thank you ❤️

Has anyone used a company called Personalised Gift Studio? I've just seen an advert on Facebook for their personalised light Up mirror, significantly reduced, which would be fab for DH's man cave. I'm just mindful if something looks too good to be true then there's a good chance it is!

@Haveyoubrushedyourteeth If it's this one, the TrustPilot reviews look decent:

(Might be worth reading through to check that look legit)

@Flubadubba yes thankyou that's the one. Much appreciated!

What’s the sell by date on the names marshmallow items please? Has anyone bought the 3 packs for £6.75?

Just ordered the bookeeze sets - thank you @Famousthehero

my girls will love them! Will see what size when they come and they’ll either be stocking or Christmas Eve box :)

@SadlyACupOfTeaDoesNotSolveEverything That’s a shame. Worth keeping an eye on the site, they reduce things regularly but it does go quick.

Their personalised balls make really good gifts full price too for any sports mad giftees! I found them through their not on the high street shop and it was cheaper to buy direct.

Thank you, this looks suitably creative and 90s inspired for my niece!

If anyone else is getting it, I found refill packs (for the binders, etc. to create more books) on John Adams at £3.99 with free shipping.

Autumn leaves - don’t know if your on the right site as 3 for £7 seems very cheap and I couldn’t see it - sale has ended too. Sale dates of stock in sale someone posted was Feb 24 just up thread.

check out play pennies website - some good deals and it only takes a second to check daily. Toby carvery £5 this Tue to Friday. Plus many others such as those buscuits for £3.50.
