@Mycatstares9 I don't know if they will be suitable but I have hoops from Cartilage Cartel. They are 'clicky' so you just put them through your ears and then they click shut and you can just use one hand to do it. Rather than fiddling to get them to fit together.

I actually prefer small bottles as they don't go gloopy before you use them up

TheBigFish thanks so much, I'll have a look at them now.

I got a Nintendo/Mario 2024 Annual for £3.75 in Lidl today. There were others too - roblox, shoot and a few others that I can't remember. Nice little add on to go with the discounted Mario game I forgot id pre-ordered!

@Mycatstares9 I got these recently from Amazon (sterling silver ones) and they open right out, so much better than all my previous buys which are so fiddly I give up!

Thanks for the new thread reastie!

Does anyone know if there's a way to get a discount for moonpig? I just want a water bottle but it's ££ + postage!

Hi can anyone help with another present I am
failing to find DW wants an indoor boxing music three-piece set - there are numerous ones on Amazon but all with dodgy review scoring 😩 does anyone have experience of buying one of these and could give me an insight in to one that is good? Thank youuuuu

@Notasockbandit not sure if they are exactly the same, but there are a few different ones on Vinted if you search ‘peppa dummy’

Thank you, I have been looking on vinted but not found them

@PopcornAndGummyBears a few things I’ve got for my ds stocking (also at uni). £5 Costa card, mens charcoal sheet masks - currently half price at Boots so only £2, pocket hand warmers I picked up in the pound shop (the disposable clicky ones), Carmex lip balm, a novelty car air freshener (he drives). Travel/bus pass holder. A coaster with a musician he likes on it from Etsy, mini shower gel and this little student cookbook - bit over the £5 but think it might be useful & has good reviews. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Book-Student-Food-Recipes/dp/1787830241/ref=asc_df_1787830241/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=372081320373&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10027734608876805624&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9044937&hvtargid=pla-813483663507&psc=1&th=1&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=76444332637&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=372081320373&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10027734608876805624&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9044937&hvtargid=pla-813483663507
Also thrown in a lottery scratch card for fun. HTH!

DGD who is 7 has asked for a doll she can take in the bath. I am clueless, can anyone suggest one to me please. I got all excited about making doll clothes again!
She has a couple of Barbies from other people but isn’t really into them.

This is amazing!!!! Thank you!

Apologies, if this is a common knowledge but I rarely use laptop for shopping sonit blew my mind.
if you shop on Microsoft Edge browser, there is a shopping add on that when enabled, pops up with any coupons available for what you are looking at or if this item can be found cheaper elsewhere 🤯

Key ring?

These are all brilliant. Etsy is good for things like coasters related to things your DS likes and things that can be personalised. I bought a slate Catan related one for DS so even board gamers are catered for and I remember it was not expensive.

also printing out copies of photos of people, pets etc.

Another request for help/ideas.... my grandparents are in their 80s, don't go out much, don't need anything. I have zero idea what to get them.

Thanks for the new thread. Off real life shopping in Leeds today.

@dizzygirl1 photo blanket or cushion.

arrange for afternoon tea to be delivered.

Would they be able to use a gift card for Cook? Frozen ready meals which are really good and nutritious (even my dietician friend agrees). They can deliver to their door and there is lots to choose from. If they have a shop nearby even better.

Appreciate you said that she’s not fussed on barbies but you can get these dreamtopia mermaids that go in the water. Also another more expensive one where the tail lights up.
Hope someone else will have more ideas if she is meaning more like a baby doll…!

@Trumpton These might be 'Bloopies' i think there's another similar brand but can't remember it's name...

@Checkinmylist1 What hand warmers do you mean? The gel ones with a little metal disc that you "click" to activate it? Those are reusable...
