If anyone likes the chocolate covered meringue bars from Flower & White , they have 50% off and free delivery for orders over £30 . Code BLACKFRIDAY . They also do vegan ones and marshmallow but I’ve not had those , the white chocolate with raspberry meringue bars are lush though . All there stock is included , so they also have gift sets etc too.

Thanks for this 😊 Been back and forth all day - should I order 🤔, probably not. But I've always wanted to try them, as I see them on QVC all the time.
The free postage did it for me. I ordered a bundle 🙃

Just sharing in case it’s any help with sizing. My daughter white fox hoodie and t shirt have arrived. Size xs hoodie fits size 12 as a regular hoodies fit and fits roughly a size 6-8 as an oversized hoodie
the xs T-shirt is massive. I’ve not tried it on but looking at it it looks like it’s be oversized on a size 12.

That's really helpful, thank you!

Does anyone know if the joggers are similarly oversized?

For those looking for dark or white chocolate Toblerones: They had some large ones in the Cadbury outlet store at Clarks Village I visited the other day. I don’t know if they would post if you called.

@Blessedbethefruitz
Does it have to be a new doll? In the packaging? As all I can see is Facebook marketplace and Vinted, like others have shared 😢

Bit of a random one, but I've recently used this Etsy seller and can really recommend their beautiful pens - they came in lovely boxes and made really unique presents at a v reasonable price. Would make a great gift for hard-to-by-for people:

For anyone who likes DKNY perfumes this one is on offer super cheap on Superdrug. Just ordered one for mum for Xmas ❤️

Would anyone be kind enough to share a student discount code for the Perfume Shop? I am buying for DS so can’t really ask him for the code as it might give it away!

I've sent you a PM!

AlbertCampion · 06/11/2023 20:12

Also, another weird one, but I had a memory of someone looking for a vacuum I think? Anyway, espares.Co.uk currently have a third off their Dirt Devil range.

For those people looking for a beautiful pan for their loved one, there is apparently a popular called the Always Pan, that can be used for boiling/steaming/frying/in the oven. Aldi are bringing out a dupe called the Every Way pan, which will apparently be available from 16th November and will be £20.

Alternatively, the original is on sale at Harrods for £85 instead of £130.

As you can tell, I lead a riveting life of high adrenaline action...

Ooh. I didn't know this existed but its I now need one of course. Thanks for sharing.
This thread is dangerous 😍

For anyone looking for cool bits for kids, Smiggle has a pretty good sale on currently. Got a load of keyrings and stationary for the children I look after for Christmas 🙂

I reckon this is the kind of thing DH would like. I must remember to go and look for one!

Slater22 · 06/11/2023 20:47

Gah worried about my White Fox order for DD now - ordered M/L hoodie she is probably a size 10 but wanted it big/baggy which felt reasonable until I read all of these comments. Does anybody know what size that will be?

Blessedbethefruitz · 06/11/2023 20:47

@GirlWithTheYellowHat No used is fine, as long as the hair is good and not matted! I don't use vinted actually, I'll try there!

Justonedayatatime11 · 06/11/2023 20:58

Does anyone live near/pass a John Lewis that has the quality street coffee creme crackers in stock? Been trying desperately to get them online but constantly sold out!

Thank you @OrangeSmartiesTasteDifferent but also out of stock when you try and add to basket Sad

Only curls is good, you could get the starter pack and a bonnet

Just seen this Vera Wang perfume on offer at Boots for £17.99

Vera Wang Princess eau de toillete

FredaFox · 06/11/2023 21:35

Do people still wear essentials or is it a but naff now?
Seen on TikTok hoodies are £24.99

Beautifulsunflowers · 06/11/2023 22:01

@Christmasnearlydone im a curly haired girl! I use a mix of products and my suggestion would be to go snd look at the products available in boots/Superdrug etc snd get a selection your dd can try. I love cantu hair custard which is the weirdest consistency but works great on my hair with a little added gel.
Buy a decent shampoo and conditioner too.

Has anyone seen a baby moana doll please? Larger ones with soft hair, not plastic. I can't find any with passable hair on ebay, been looking for months! Short hair and obviously a baby, doesn't seem to be available new in the UK atm :(

Hi I might have one that you can have, I can't remember if I kept them/ will look in the morning for you and please feel free to nudge me if I forget!
