@Houseofsardines ND3XTBNWB (easier than trying to remember it from the pic!) See if that works 🌲

Literally thrilled. Thanks so much.

Someone was looking for the large magic mixies…spotted some in Sainsbury’s £70 reduced to £45 in their toy event, which I think can be ordered via Argos too, if that helps!

@404usernotfound
I ordered from Valentte on their diffuser BOGOF offer, getting 4 plus the free extra diffuser. The Rosemary and Lemongrass scent is gorgeous as is the Bergamot and Lemon. Not as keen on the Neroli one, but I'm not really into floral scents.
The reeds are a little bit too long for the box that comes with the free diffuser, but I carefully cut them one by one with scissors so they fit in, so will work for gifting. The BOGOF ones come 2 in one box. It's possible to remove the internal separator cardboard and add more tissue paper so you can use as a gift box for one of the diffusers inc. reeds. You'll need to find another box for the other one, but can put the Valentte ribbon onto it so it still has some branding.

They seem to rotate the offers they do, so I doubt you'd ever need to pay full price on whatever item you wanted - just wait a few days for an offer to cycle round...

Apologies to continue sock chat (ish), can anyone help with a place to find bamboo socks at a bargain? I brought my husband some last year and they are so much nicer and softer than his others! Would love some more this year but SMP so money is unbelievably tight!

Confusedmeanderings · 15/10/2023 00:05

@SchoolLemon am I doing something wrong? The market pens are showing as £25 odd for me!

bizzey · 15/10/2023 00:08

Well I have just fiddled around with Vallente (🐑🐑🐑 FOMO !)

I (hopefully!) have got on order
1 gift box
1 free diffuser
Sample kit of wax melts, foot cream and hand wash .
For £19.50.
(£23 ish with postage )

There was a place to message them to change the reeds to natural colour instead of their default black colour which I nearly missed.

I tried to sign up for the email but it didn't look like it went through.

So we shall see what happens !

bizzey · 15/10/2023 00:11

The FREEDIFFUSER code said it was for orders over £40.

I added things then one item was saying £2 but coming up as full price at checkout.

I took it off and the other gift set ...
but the free diffuser stayed in my cart 🤷‍♀️.

HoHoFuckingHo · 15/10/2023 00:55

@404usernotfound brill, thanks for the excellent walkthrough! Think I got most of that in my order also for £48

bizzey · 15/10/2023 01:08

A Vallentte story for you
Earlier in the year I was in a shop and someone complimented me on my perfume and asked what it was .
I said I couldn't remember as I have various ones I leave by the front door as I always like a quick spray of something when I leave the house .

Went home ... checked....
I had used the Vallentte room spray 🤣🤣🤣🤣!

It was in a similar little bottle/spray of another cheap body spray thing !!

BAM socks are fantastic
If you buy 3 sets 20% off with SOCKS20
but if you want fewer socks or other things TEAMWORK takes 20% off too (works on clearance too)
(they don't stack.)

Sorry BAM are https://bambooclothing.co.uk/

ChristmasFanatic · 15/10/2023 06:12

For bamboo socks TKMaxx is king! You can get a nice gift box of 3 Happy Socks for £7.99! They're usually £20 a pair! All the gift boxes look the same but the socks are actually random inside.

Bethebest · 15/10/2023 06:19

Sockshop are great for bamboo socks. £5 for 5 pairs on kids so I’m sure they do an offer for adults too. Quality is great.

Possibly about two years late to the party but can anyone recommend not oodie but similar big long warm tops for kids? Mine who are 7 and 10 have seen my Oodie and want one but Im loathe to spend Oodie money on something that will get mucked up and washed very regularly. Oldest specified he wants a heavy one like mine. Thank you!

If you have a football lover, I've just bought this for my son from JD, bargainous for £16! Still £44.99 on Amazon.

Football flick urban target pop up goals

Just an FYI, it looks small whilst folded on the photos, but it came wrapped & it's about 3ft in a big triangular shape!

This looks fab but coming up at £40 for me. How did you get it for £16 please?

5poundstuff have these I haven’t bought them so can’t vouch for them but I’m very pleased with the adult ones I bought from here. There is a tick box for an extra £5 off and free postage. Be careful, it’s a subscription. You need to cancel as soon as your parcel arrives.

I don’t remember who else was looking for Dunelm discount, but I bought something small in store yesterday and gave my email address for the receipt. This morning I’ve been sent a code for 10% off which I’ll use for my online basket. It looks like a unique code so I won’t post here, but it might be worth a try for someone else to do the same if it’s something big you want to buy.

Dunnes Stores do a oodie that is quite heavy. You can buy online. Just need to go to the menu and change location to uk.

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 15/10/2023 09:04

Primark have got tons of thick oodie copies at reasonable prices. Means a real life trip though.

Looking for a recommendation for a board game for a 6 year old. We loved Funny Bunnies but found Operation a bit frustrating. She has a 4yo sibling so can't be too tricky. Thanks!
