Evening all

Thanks @Sideorderofchips! Hope both you and @Reastie are ok.

A bit of a random bargain request - does anyone know if/where I could find a Chupa Chups stand similar to what they used to have in newsagents? I've found some online with the lollies but they're £50+!

I’m here! Been working all day and just sat down to catch up! Literally 3 minutes late for setting up new thread! Are we ok here?

I happened to be around so thought I woild do it

Sadly the chips household is grieving as our eldest cat Sooty had to be pts on Saturday night due to sudden illness. So I'm looking at Christmas stuff to cheer me up whilst small kitten is trying to make me feel better by lifting on my back

Phew thanks for setting up new thread. I've been refreshing the Christmas board like a maniac lol 😆

If you don't mind it being a different brand check out tongue painter lollies on amazon. They've got the big tubs with the display thing on top. I have them at work for my students

@MarshmallowsOnToast I’ve been doing the same 😂 glad it’s not just me. Loving the Christmas bargain thread thanks ladies.

Thank you to the poster who told us all about the gruum offer. Am I right in thinking that occasionally they have a razor offer? Thinking of something else gruum to bulk out the washbag

I'm sorry to hear about your cat, Chips.

I got one of each of the glossy box. No idea which was which but I've moved things around to suit certain recipients!

We had one from Amazon for around £30 but they seem a bit pricier now. They're £39 on OnBuy and there's this one on eBay.

Can't say I've seen the razors on offer, they were part of a Father's Day gift bag I got for DH. Think they might have been Harry's razors?

So one of my sons has decided he wants one of those air up water bottles which i remember from bargain thread last year (and also that they were pretty underwhelming). Any bargains or better alternatives greatly appreciated!

Hello!
I'm on the hunt for Disney Luca toys, not plushes though. Has anyone seen the attached please? Son loves the film and its his intense interest (asd).

Thanks all!

@Sideorderofchips so sorry to hear that 😔

Guess he’s already got the busy book @LemonFrosting ?

Thanks for the lolly stand suggestions - the tongue painter lolly stand looks perfect!

Thank you @Wait4nothing , yes he has. He really likes the vespa in the film, so when I saw that playset I thought oh my gosh he'd love that! Would have to be out of stock though wouldn't it??!!

Sorry to hear about your cat @Sideorderofchips

Not sure about RRP on this mirror but looks good for the price. Think there was some talk about those last year

Smiggle has extra 20% off their sale stuff. It so expensive to start with though, makes it just about affordable

I need book recommendations please! A world history type thing with timeline of dinosaurs, wooly mammoths, humans, for a 5 year old (to read together, lots of pictures) 😅 I'm struggling to find the right thing and my son has so many questions, it would be lovely to have a really great book for him for Christmas.

@LemonFrosting there are a few bits on Vinted - I searched Disney Luca.

I have just spent an absolute fortune on special tickets for Olivia Rodrigo tickets for DD's main ONLY present. Can anyone recommend a special ticket making (have seen printed versions, box versions, sure they're called something but I have no idea what, etc.) company that I could get something nice for her to open from?

@Blessedbethefruitz this one is good

A bit of a random bargain request - does anyone know if/where I could find a Chupa Chups stand similar to what they used to have in newsagents? I've found some online with the lollies but they're £50+!

@Someaddedsugar , do you know someone who has a card for a local cash and carry, the sort corner shops and possibly sports clubs, Brownies and so on can use?

I got my Chupa Chups stand from our local branch of Booker. It was a long time ago, but if Chupa Chups are still being sold the stands might still be available.
