@Ilovepugs2017 Some people who ordered from 5poundstuff received smelly or dirty oodies. I wouldn't mind if it was for me but as a present I want pristine one.

I have an impossible search and could really use some help..... Dd10 has been asking since March for a ride on suitcase / scooter suitcase to take on our holiday next year. I've spent months searching but finally admitted defeat and told her they don't make anything suitable for her size. She then announced with complete conviction that Father Christmas will just make her one! She has additional needs so 100% believes.
She is way too big for her trunkie and the adult scooter case I found on Microscooter ridiculously doesn't fit in hand luggage. I have tried everywhere I can think of and then some! It needs to be hand luggage size acceptable (Tui if that make a difference) and support weight of 35kg. At this point I will pay whatever necessary. Please please please can anyone help save her Christmas 🥺

You did say you’d pay whatever necessary?

@Ehunt1 could you pm me it please, very appreciated :)

Has any one seen any more bargain toiletry type things please? Doing a make up and toiletries advent calendar for mum who can't get out shopping much. Got eyeshadow set, eye brushes, shower gel, shampoo, hand creams, bargain wild small deodorants, bargain gruum sleep spritz thing and cleanser, lip balms, pulse point scents, prickly pear oil, hand wash, kiwi eye cream, blusher, mascara.

Now I am stuck! Thinking maybe nice face wipes and conditioner but any more freebie sample bargain ideas appreciated if spotted.
She wouldn't use full on serum and collegen more specialist stuff like the elmis sets and showers not baths. Doesn't use bars of saop / shampoo. Can't get foot cream as disability makes hard to use and doesn't wear lipstick or foundations or do nails.

Hi, someone was looking for dark Toblerone chocolate bars. I saw them in a shop called ' one below' today, it's a poundshop type shop. £1.50.

RJnomore1 · 08/11/2023 17:46

Has anyone ever used a website called beauty kick?

thanks to previous poster I saw the hairdryer from ghd I want for dd1 reduced on very, but I thought I’d just check it’s not cheaper elsewhere abd it’s another £30 less on it! The reviews look ok…but I’d rather get some feedback

ew that’s not good 🫣

Highly recommend the Zinc Flyte scooter suitcase @IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile
Max weight 50kg.
We flew Jet2 with it as carry-on with no questions, reviewers saw they’ve used it on most airlines even if it seems slightly over. Wouldn’t risk Ryanair but Tui might allow it!
The catch for folding/unfolding the scooter takes some practice and it needs practice to scooter and turn when it’s filled, but it was an absolute godsend to not have to carry the child plus case when in use!

@Scout2016 have you tried Sainsburys? They have loads of beauty/bath/body type products in their Nectar offers which seem to all be half price.

Ilovepugs2017 · 08/11/2023 18:26

Can anyone recommend somewhere I can get a relatively cheap but sturdy vanity table for my 6 year old DD? She has one which is mdf I think but it’s not the sturdiest and the chair legs are loose 🫣

A spa hair turban maybe?

My first Temu order came today, the claw machine for dd1, I’m tempted to open it but the box has lots of tape on it so I might have to wait until Christmas to see if it’s any good.

Has anyone seen the mint chocolate orange in any shops? Desperately want one (for me) but haven’t seen them anywhere.

What about face masks? I've pulled together something similar for DD and they always went down well. I also put in some of those reusable face wipes (I think they are supposed to be make up remover pads, but DD uses them to cleanse her face with toner type stuff)

I've ended up buying way too much myself (bought multi packs of stuff / beauty boxes etc for past couple months) so of you're happy to PM me your address I will happily post you some of my spares.
