It is! Thanks. I haven’t heard of that site though - has anyone on here used it?

Edited

That’s the one I got from Look Fantastic. Tween DD assures me this one is also highly desirable in her circles…

If you sign up to Argos mailings they are giving you £5 off a £40 spend. DH is now signed up 😇

gawditswindy · 11/10/2023 09:50

@SadlyACupOfTeaDoesNotSolveEverything How do you sign up? I'm on the app and can't see an offer.

Also, anyone have any idea when Sainsbury's will have their kids clothes sale? Have to buy for my nieces.

PantsToItAll · 11/10/2023 09:53

Just in case this catches anyone else out and they didn’t know this information like I didn’t …. I bought some toys on Amazon yesterday and today some have reduced further in price (Barbies, Polly pocket etc). I went onto Amazon chat to ask and they said

If you purchase a product with the Prime Big Deal Days badge sold by Amazon from 10-11 October and the price drops further before 23:59 BST on 18 October, we'll automatically refund the difference! We’ll email you when we process your refund. Refunds can take up to 10 business days to be processed.

So keep an eye out for this. It was only a a few £ in my case but I don’t expect to pay a higher price on day 1 of prime deals than on day 2 so glad it seems they will correct this.

Need to try to get to Sainsbury's at some point... if anyone happens to notice if Bitzee digital pets are in the sale please let me know!

shinny · 11/10/2023 10:04

I just got spicebomb extrême on Notino for £54 instead of around £90 so I’m v happy. I think I used them last year for a selection of different testers for DS so he could decide what he liked.

evtheria · 11/10/2023 10:07

@Bsgetty Piggybacking onto your drawing tablet recommendation, thank you :) Perfect gift for my niece

If anyone is trying to think of a fun small gift, stocking filler or secret santa for £10 consider a large set of dice. There's a game called Tenzi where each player has 10 dice (in a specific colour) and you just roll continuously until someone rolls all theirs on the same number. Properly, it should be a number that was rolled in a first 'selection' roll but you can simplify it (or play more complex targets). It's transportable and easy for all ages, but gets fast, heated and sometimes chaotic when you reach the point where everyone is just wildly chucking theirs trying to win.

• Official Tenzi pack reduced to £7.98, add £2.99 shipping: Reduced Tenzi
• Off-brand multipack of die £9.99: search Amazon for 'Glaxcidy 100 Packs Transparent Dices, 14mm Acrylic Dice'

Tenzi

Do we know what's in the sainsburys toy sale yet please?

Polly pocket kangaroo was £16 then £13 this morning it's £10.40 on Amazon.

Showing 11.87 now but still I am crying 😢

Travelcrazy · 11/10/2023 10:27

@Dogmatix34 my order hasn't arrived as I only ordered today but I got blackcurrant lip balms, mistletoe bath crystals, mojito cocktail glass shower gels, and a few other things. They were all in the sale section.

Thanks, I have a birthday to buy for too, so I’ll look at that.

I’ve risked an order with Notino - I will report back! I’ve paid with PayPal so hopefully will be covered if there are any issues.

CelticPromise · 11/10/2023 10:39

You can get a free gift set from Grüum at Grüum.com/gift63. You only pay delivery. It might be tiny I don't know until mine comes, but their stuff is nice!

Well I have received my Naledi earrings and I’m really disappointed.
I saw a picture from a previous poster which showed earrings in a gift box.
Mine came in a hessian sack, they are tiny and look cheap. The sort of thing that would cost £1.99 in primark, not anything I could gift.
I know they were only £13 but definitely not worth that and certainly not worth the £23 they were supposed to be.

WimbyAce · 11/10/2023 12:35

Just a heads up as seen the Bing mini house playset on Argos for a supposed good deal of £30. It is honestly not worth that. I got it a few years ago for a cheaper price thankfully as it's not great. Figures are good but the house is tat. Hardly played with.

evtheria · 11/10/2023 12:38

O2 priority has 25% off Virgin Experience Days with a special code.
(If anyone wants mine please PM, I will send it there)

This looks great. I'm new to Gruum, is this for men or women? Or either? Not sure if it's suitable for the recipient I have in mind!

SpinningOutWaitingForYa · 11/10/2023 12:49

No good at all at links, but I've seen this game on TikTok and it looks fun!

P is for Pizza - it's currently on offer at Amazon for £7.99.

It had been sat in my basket at £9.99, but clicked on it and it's £7.99 on Prime Deal.
