@FizzyOranges fab! Glad to have helped 😊

£10 originally 🙄

I sacked off eve Amazon wine order after they tried to charge me for one order three times and were incredibly unhelpful about it.

Ahh, that cuthbert is so cute and what an advert. A child who plays with that everyday is going to demand one on their birthday 😀

Thanks so much for this, my handheld vac died recently and couldn’t really afford to replace it till after Christmas. Bought this this morning, it arrived a couple of hours ago, I charged it and have just had a quick run around with it - it’s great!

There seems to be many that have missed out on the aldinwooden toys! My DD is 17 so none needed here but I got my DN some wooden toys from there a couple of years ago and they were lovely.

If there's anything anyone is desperate for that is able to be posted as a normal parcel I am more than happy to go check our local branch in Skegness

Thanks for bumping this offer, I've just ordered for my DD at uni, hopefully it'll be good for her room and car

That's the hand held vacuum

That Cuthbert is the new Kevin!

Temu have lots of taylor swift themed items at the moment. I got dd2 some slippers, tshirt, hat, jumper, cushion cover, pin badges for less than I paid for a popcorn bucket & cup at the cinema last week!!

Also purchased lots of beads to make bracelets with album names.

Shes obsessed right now and will be so happy with all these goodies!

I know lots of people aren't keen on temu but I've ordered lots from there and been very happy with everything. Clothes aren't amazing quality but no worse than the alternative/quirky places dds frequent when we go to town that charge 4x the price for the same items!!

Ok, blast from the past (thread one or two) where I was putting a 90s gift together for my sister…
Thanks to all the suggestions and I’ve done really well! I’m nearly complete but am still searching for a bottle of hooch and some raspberry ruffles. They used to sell ruffles in Poundland I’ve been in the one near me a few times and they have not got them 😱 I can see them on Amazon but they are pricey. Does anyone know where they sell ruffles at a not so inflated price (happy for the pack of 5 bars or the loose individual bite sized ruffles) and where on Earth I find a bottle of hooch (I tried home bargains and b and m but no joy).

Will await responses in my new White Stuff turtle socks from the advent calendar glitch 😁💪

Our pound shop still sells Raspberry ruffles (thank goodness - I love them!) B&M near us also has them. Home Bargains might be worth a squizz too

@poostinkywink you need to look for cans for the hooch. Think the supermarkets have it
Sainsburys Hooch

B&m usually have the ruffles bars

Alternatively @poostinkywink if you have a wee old fashioned sweet shop with sweets in jars they might have them. I know the ones near us have them and you could go proper 90s and buy her a quarter in a wee paper bag!

@SootspriteSearcher could you please link the beads to make the swiftie bracelets please x

I'm not sure how to link from an app but I bought letter beads and then flat clay beads like these. Although you can buy the bracelets premade too. You can also get the elastic but we have loads already. Dd loves a crafty day so bought them to make as its one if the few things that takes her away from the ipad!

😮

that’s disgusting. I know it’s the way these things work but it makes me so cross that people do that.

They had some hooch in Tesco last time I was in the alcohol aisle, it was on promo.

ah! Getting a quarter of chocolate peanuts and raisins- remember that! Good thinking.

Another great priced Lego set that my Sainsbury's doesn't have 😞

It really is outrageous.

I'm kicking myself for not getting more when I was there (for my kids, not to sell) but they probably won't have anything left now 😕

I've no answer you this but I want to see it! You've inspired me to make my friend a blast from our past 90s and 00s hamper

I will dig it all out and post a pic when I’ve filled in the gaps. It’s been so much fun! Just something different this year and I’m sure will start a reminisce with her kids around the table on Xmas day.

M&S have some bargains in their toy dept, some items 60% off
