Thread 8 - the one where it's time

[Reastie]

Thread title inspired by the 'it's time' Christmas trend as it's now time for Christmas now halloween is over!

In message two are the links and info from last year - if anyone has anything they'd like me to amend or add, please do tag me and I'll update.

A reminder not to post affiliate links in the thread but that MN do change amazon links shared by posters into MN affiliate links.

Please do watch the thread rather than post to mark place to make it easier for everyone to keep up and find relevant info.

Hope you don't mind but I'm sending out another plea for a Primark mermaid cushion for my DD (for her first little bedroom 🥰). I'm so grateful for all those that offered the first time around I would really appreciate it if anyone sees one they could post to me? I doubt they will be around much longer as I expect it's summer stock. I will happily cover costs + postage.

Currently showing as available at Birmingham high street, Cardiff, Coventry, Hanley, lakeside, Leeds - trinity, Newcastle, Sheffield, Tottenham court road.

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

I can pop in today and look for you @GettingOldWithoutStyle . I’ll pick one up if I see it and msg you.

@dizzygirl1 on the last thread someone posted about personalised lap trays that you could add your own photos on, and I thought that might be an idea for an elderly relative I have to buy for.

This time of year always makes me fret about older people feeling the cold, so...
Really cosy socks
Fleece-lined dressing gowns
Would they like the Turtle Dove fingerless gloves?
If your budget stretches to these - electric heated throws.
Or photo blankets (pics of all the grandchildren?)

@Trumpton - you need one with a hard body rather than a squishy cloth body.

Baby born do a ‘swimming’ baby - it doesn’t work the best but my daughter likes it. It’s called My First Swim and you get a boy or a girl. Because it’s designed for the water it doesn’t fill up with water inside that then takes years to drain back out. It’s about £20 so much more reasonable than usual baby borns.

@LostMyRubySlippers there’s a baby born swim doll

Anyone seen discount codes for Snowdonia cheese company (or similar). Looking for bargain cheese hamper type gift. xx 🎄

Thank you @BestofLuck

Do you know which Sheffield branch it could be in - Meadowhell or city centre?

@WomanOfSteel sorry, it's meadowhall 😊

My biscuits finally arrived too. Tins are very nice hope biscuits are too

Thanks for the Ulster weavers link, in addition to the tea towels I got a packable bag and there are some lovely discounted gym bags for kids for a few quid which would be a lovely stocking filler.

Redbubble have 20-60% off sitewide (not seen anything yet at 60% but only just seen the email) no code needed

Stickers seem to be 30% off

Tshirts/clothing seems to be between 20% and 30% depending on the item

Mouse House Cheese is doing a 12 days of Xmas promo. You might have to sign up to receive emails as they’ve been emailing me. I’ve been deleting them though as don’t need anything from them this year (famous last words!!)

🎅🏽

I could have probs got to town today but I’m not going the other way. Sorry. I’ll prob try and get there at some point but I’m busy this week. 🙁

My Lidl had lots of Silvercrest raclette grills, for £24.99. I remember previous years when they were very popular, think they were from Aldi.

On a separate note. I have just purchased and eaten a packet of Walkers Christmas Pudding flavoured crisps. I think I might have died, and gone to heaven!

15% of a £40 spend in matalan - useful if you need a few things

NOV1540

Photobox have 50% off everything with code FLASH50 until 09/11/23

I have had some great things from the Chuckling Cheese Company. But I can't see a deal at the moment, except a free Trunkie when you spend £20. But they do do them pretty regularly.
But I also love Snowdonia cheese so your recipient is very lucky!

I bought Xmas crackers with socks in. Add to basket then save for later and you’ll get notified if they get a voucher. Paid £11.19 for mine
They have had all sorts of character ones

Was someone after a Sephora discount? Blue light has increased their discount to 20%, I have a code I can send to someone if you PM me

Oooh any more online cracker deals? I am looking for some with charades or something to keep us entertained at the dinner table as opposed to landfill plastic tat which will get binned. I need them to be cheap 😭

@Trumpton how about this? Baby Annabell My First Bath Annabell
Try to avoid anything that allows water inside as it's impossible to get all the water out and will start to grow black mold inside.

These look great. Order already in!
