The Clarins advent calendar is lovely if anyone is thinking of it. My mum was so happy with hers last year

I’ve tried the TOWELS60 is it only on certain tea towels

I have had two balsam hill trees and actually, they are pretty underwhelming for the price.

There's the initial "blimey this is easy being all pre lit" novelty, but actually, they aren't that great at all. Luckily though, they hold their value and I sold one that was 3yrs old for essentially what I paid for it. No amount of fluffing the branches stops them looking too conical and perfect, they are lovely fake trees, but for that money I want at least some illusion that it could be real, even from a distance.

We're having a real one this year, but next year, I'll be looking at different brands. White Company ones look ok. Not seen one in the flesh though.

One use codes for crocs and hey dude

it's singular, TOWEL60

There's no student discount codes on UNiDAYS or student beans I've just checked for you

@Pigeonnoir have a look at werchristmas we've had christmas lights from them and a pre lit tree which is great and much cheaper than the Balsam Hill equivalents. They definitely do deals in november (and January but a bit late for that!)

That looks brilliant. Have ordered one for one of the teens. Thank you.

Gyroscope? Mine have loved these before.

@Yajebbend it's TOWEL60 (no S in the middle) and it works on all full price teatowels

If you can get out to shops, I picked up a gorgeous Le Crueset teapot last year in TKMaxx- my next door neighbour yelped in delight! It was something like only £20.

Was just going to say this!

Beware- I went a bit mad & now have 15 coming to me 🙈

@Yajebbend

I'm looking for a deal on Lego Architecture- New York or anything Lego US themed for DS1 who was in the US all summer. The Bonsai tree Lego from the threads last year went down a storm (and the Adidas Trainer from 2 years ago which I see is more than double what I paid for it!).

Any spots on a bargain would be much appreciated.

If anyone is looking for a wooden doll's house, this seems a very good offer (I think only today): https://www.studio.co.uk/shop/dotd/dotd-see-all/dotd-toys/dolls-house?source=TT05&ch=aw&utm_source=awin&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=76941&awc=1657_1699612144_c44e1d79b3077e5003f0b0d975418adf

Non Christmas related but I bought some Emma Bridgewater festive cookware this morning and noticed that they had Halloween sale if you search for Halloween items.I nabbed biscuit tin reduced from £20 to £12 to put away for next year.https://www.emmabridgewater.co.uk/collections/halloween

My niece also 15 recently had a microscope which you could connect to the tv and so see whatever you’d magnified on a big screen. She was obsessed with it and was magnifying anything and everything. I have to admit, I was quite fascinated by it too. I don’t know how much it was but definitely wouldn’t have cost a lot. I’ll ask my sister where she got it/the price if you like.

@Pigeonnoir I’m obsessive about picking trees, have lost count of the number I’ve ordered and returned over the years! 😳 Shockingly I’ve found the best trees from the supermarkets, my last two have been Tesco and Asda! If you want something grander I’ve seen a lot of posts online about people getting them from jd Williams too, happy hunting!

Just a heads up - the Vodafone free socks aren't all Christmas patterns. I've ordered some unicorns that I'll either keep or add to a gift for a friend.

I've tried searching for it on amazon but having no luck, can you link? thanks so much

this was for @XiCi

Genius Star in the Argos 2 for £30 deal, I really love these games i play them by myself to keep my brain ticking

Oooh, looks good!

These threads are mental- I've just bought the balance thing, Lego Modern Art & a Lock picking kit 🙈. Oh, and the Santa book!

All things that will be great. Off to order 2 of these games now! Thanks.
