Thanks for the Elmis deal. Which package did you go for? I haven’t tried the extras before (just the marine cream, cleanser and toner) so don’t have a clue what they smell like!

A word of warning to anyone thinking of buying from White Fox, they do not offer refunds at all, regardless of the reason, so you can only get a store credit.

I placed an order this morning and added the EARLY40 discount code, however I've been charged the full price of £100 rather than the £40 odd quid it should have charged me, I contacted them straight away as soon as I saw the confirmation email and although they responded quickly they said they cannot apply the discount and will only offer me a store credit, I asked to cancel the order and I would place a new one however I have had no response to this.

If the items don't fit(they come up huge) or are unsuitable or you simply change your mind you cannot get a refund.

Just something to bear in mind before placing an order.

I was under the impression that distance selling regulations mean that if you don't see the item before purchasing you are entitled to a full refund should it be unsuitable, although as WF are located in Australia I'm not sure if this still stands - I did think I was buying from a UK site.

Thank you I've just ordered!

Quidco are doing a free 60g bag of Joe & sephs popcorn today- need to opt in & purchase from Waitrose then you claim the money back

Playmobil Adventures of Ayuma Bat Fairy Ruins 70807 57% off on Amazon today £34.50.

@OneFamily thanks, alas it needs to be baby moana!

Argos have 20% off their Christmas Trees til the 7th code is XMASTREE20

is anyone aware of a general Dunelm code?

John Lewis have 25% off some lego sets.

I am looking for a cheap mood ring for an 8 yr old. I have tried ebay, etsy etc but I can't find any cheap ones that are the right size (I reckon I would need a US 4, UK G, which is smaller than 15mm). Any ideas/recommendations?

And still after a photo printer that will print from a Google Pixel - any recommendations for that?

@Holdyournoseandthinkofchocolate Claire's have cheap mood rings

OhDeer have their 5 new weekly flash offers up. Great for fans of pusheen.

Teen DS - I'd like to get him some over ear headphones but he has quite a small head (and I want to avoid the bone conduction ones and noise cancelling feature).

Any recommendations or suggestions of what features to look for? It would be a bonus to have a built-in mic so it could also be used for gaming.

Also wondering about a power bank, but don't know where to start. It would be used with an android phone and a Switch. I'd welcome pointers for what to look for or any bargains...

I just spotted that Hamleys seem to have a big sale on at the moment...

I returned my order 3 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for my credit to order a replacement. It's ridiculous and impossible to get a response from them too 🙄

Thanks to whoever recommended the book, Pick a pine tree. Mine arrived today and it's really lovely

If you have a Flying Tiger nearby they sell mood rings, about £2-4, and one is the type that you can 'squeeze' to make smaller.

Just ordered these socks in various colours from Dunnes. They are 10% cashmere and 40% wool but look pretty good for only €5!

Hi all - does the MCFC online shop ever do Black Friday or Christmas offers/discounts?
So I'd like to buy current/new products, but hopefully get them cheaper.

@evtheria and @animalcrossingfan2021 Thank you! Wouldn't have thought to try those. There is a Flying Tiger right near work so I will look tomorrow :)

re White Fox, guy is based in Italy, may be why there are issues? He's a dropshipper.

Dunelm have some discounted Halloween stuff in their clearance section but also have a set of 5 gym towels for £3 they also have some Harry Potter beach towels reduced to £2.50 ( not in the clearance section ) no idea of quality though

Annoyingly I missed 3 for 2 in Superdrug on collection hydrating lipsticks for my dd’s advent calendar - anyone seen them on offer, or have an offer code for any beauty sites that sell them?

Facebook marketplace?

I got excited about the Sports Direct discount as I’ve got goalie gloves and football boots to buy but unfortunately it only works on clearance items.

@PinkCyclamen - lots of adult Pokémon fans in my house! You could try Forbidden Planet, Japan Craft or the Japan Centre.

I would suggest trying to find out if the person is into the cards and/or other merchandise such as t-shirts and plushies before buying anything. Card collectors can be quite ‘fussy’😹
