My family clubbed together and bought our grandparents a cake subscription from Meg Rivers. They deliver a cake once a month (min 3 months) it’s not cheap but there are lots of other companies offering similar. They loved it as they said they’d forget all about it and then have a lovely surprise when it turned up in the post ☺️

How do you find Amazon warehouse products please?

@Hibernatalie this is why we've had to buy one each and one for each person in any household that we've bought them for as otherwise the person who doesn't have one feels really left out and blanket fights ensue 😂

I've had a feel of versions in other shops and Dunelm's were definitely the most thick and snuggly!

@poostinkywink - TKMaxx had some cheap activity crackers recently.

The M&S outlet at Clarks village the other day had reduced Percy Pig throws and handwarmer cushions as well as some Xmas items.

My DD got one for her birthday from CEX, in perfect condition and comes with a year guarantee. I would definitely have a look in those type of shops

@Checkinmylist1 Ah I see! Just checking I've had the air-activated toe warmers before. Great for watching ice hockey! You can also make them last a bit longer by putting them into an airtight bag/container until you want to use it again

Ooh think I just got a bargain on afternoon tea's 😀

Piglet's Pantry Deal (I've ordered from here before, and highly recommend)

Just ordered the below:

• Classic Afternoon Tea For Two £32.50
• Classic Vegetarian Afternoon Tea For Two £32.50

To be delivered in January next year. Paid £40.55 for both 🙃It's basically buy one get one free! I had to pay £6.50 delivery though.
I really wanted to go for the Christmas option (where you get Christmas themed cakes, but I wasn't sure if they would ship my order for that in the New Year. And I didn't want to miss the deal)

Use code TYBLUE50

EDIT* It's basically a 50% code.

@Blessedbethefruitz yes, we ruined one by washing it. So we're trying to keep to a 'don't get the blanket dirty' rule for now to try to avoid having to wash them. I've been wondering whether the wool wash setting on the machine would be an option...

@nicky2512 the last couple of years one of the Vodafone offers has been Joe & Seph’s popcorn. There is usually a Vodafone codes thread going but I don’t know if it’s started yet and embarrassingly I’m a Vodafone customer who never checks the offers (I don’t even have the app on my phone) so I only get DH to check them when I see them noted on here.

@Notasockbandit have you tried posting in littlebluecup selfsearch on Facebook
I swear there is almost anything the members can find :)

@hoopdeloop I ordered Beast Lab from the Entertainer by signing up to Jack’s birthday club I got sent 20% off and got it for £72 which is still pricey but it was the last thing on my list and I just wanted it done. If it goes cheaper on Black Friday I should be able to return the one I’ve got as it will be within 30 days.

The Very deal sounds good but I’ve already got a credit account with them.

A little while ago, Very was selling this for £54. They don't seem to have it on their website at the moment, but it might be worth keeping an eye on it. Alternatively, have you checked Facebook Marketplace? The first one that came up for me was £65 and they may be willing to post.

Yes i think I saw you mention this on the other thread. I don't do Facebook or any social media, only mumsnet

Thank you @1stTimeMama 😊

The works has Obama Llama board game for £10 in clearance. It's a great game.

Could any one else you know post and send it you? I hope you find them. Sometimes pound shop type shops turn them up but I know how stressful it is!

Debenhams sale is worth a look - free delivery over £15. Thought this bento box was a good tween / teen gift. Also lots of reduced skincare storage Bento box

Couple of good reductions on advent calendars at Boots.
Snaffling Pig one reduced to £15 & Joe & Sephs £15.75

Anyone receive their bridal beauty charity box this morning? Absolutely 🥰

I didn't buy this one, as I'm trying to rein myself in whilst I use previous ones up. I'd love to know / see what you got though as I think I will be going for their next offer (I'm expecting something good for Black Friday)

I think you maybe replying to me. Yes I have everyone looking out for them. They never were sold in the pounds shops, it was only ever superdrug. We do have 3 on the go at the moment but I'm just trying to re stock as have no new ones.

Thank you so much for the Ciate polish advent, haven’t brought for anyone other than myself 😬🙈 For under £1 per polish it’s a steal!

@Notasockbandit have you tried Superdrug head office They may be able to look at the stock systems and see if any stores have any odd ones in stock. Some times discontinued stock loiters in a ware house

@Notasockbandit have you tried LittleBlueCup on Facebook?
