My bargain vases are finally arriving today and I ordered them 2nd September!

I bought either the Mario or Luigi one (can't remember which) for similar money on Amazon around October time 2 years ago so might be worth setting up a camels alert.

No worries. Iv already bought one for mine. Most places like cult beauty and look fantastic always have discount codes too.

Bargain max has barbie advent with a doll and 24 accessories for £16.99 delivered

Zara perfumes reduced down to £11.99. Smaller ones £6.99.
Great for teenagers.

Niche question but does anyone have any suggestions for a family member of mine who is an old-fashioned socialist, I once got them a Vive Le Revolution candle that went down extremely well, looking for something equally political but light-hearted. I am trawling Etsy but not found quite the right thing yet.

Have you checked out the radial tea towel company? They have some cards/gifts that might work

@LonelyFlans exactly the sort of thing I was looking for, thanks so much!

Hey! Photobox books are 50% off, I've created the book, is this the best deal or should I hold out for better?

@nov1ce - I'm so annoyed. I just made mine at the weekend at full price!

50% is pretty good. There's normally 30-50% around black Friday too

TK Max do them for around £6, my hi to for presents and well received.

For radical leftie gorgeousness I adore Black lodge press

Does anyone have any recommendations for starter make up sets? My 7 year really really wants make up, but I really really don’t want to get the stuff in Claire’s and the like, just because it reminds me of the stuff that gave me a horrible reaction when I was a kid!

Bonus points for bargains obviously, but I’d rather pay a bit more for something better, if that makes sense.

Oh no! Prices start at £43 for a standard book, seems high! I'll be happy with my 50% then!

@mummymummymummummum I bought a set for my 6 year old from here. Good quality and fun with the stencils / glitter you can buy https://www.thenaturalplaymakeupcompany.co.uk/

I’ve seen Little stardust recommended here before, though not tried it in our family as I’m too cheap…

I'm not surprised but I am disappointed

I would have checked out as soon as it was in my basket 🫣

Aww man it's so frustrating isn't it

Sorry what a camels alert please?

Where you hide behind a sand dune??

@Qwerty21 if you go on to camel camel camel website you can look at Amazon price history and set alerts to inform you when your item drops below a specified price.

https://www.presentindicative.com/ there's some good stuff on here (in the politics section)

I put together a little pouch with Barry m makeup for my dd around this age, they tend to have decent offers or 3 for 2 and do some nice fairly gentle bits if you look carefully, her favourites were a heart shaped 'shimmer' (bit like a big eyeshadow that just added some highlights rather than colour but came in a rainbow pattern) and a little bottle of 'glitter drops' which had a similar effect. Their colour changing lipsticks were also very popular with my girls and the 'final' colour isn't too offensive and looks more like a coloured lip balm but feels like a grown up lipstick if that makes sense.. my dd has sensitive skin and these all worked ok for her, a few unicorn themed things there if I remember rightly
