Thread 9 - the one where we have (wax) meltdowns

[FireflyGirl]

We're up to 997 on the other thread so creating a place holder @Reastie.

As posted on the previous thread, TopCashback are offering £2 cashback on a £5+ spend.

Lots of Mint Choc oranges at Co-Op if that helps

Apothecary set at marks and Spencer is down to £25 from £50. Bought a similar one last year and it was great! Bought one for SIL and MIL this year (different sides of the family so no crossover!)

Lots in Sainsburys this morning too.

Also some great bargains at house of Fraser… Jack Wills dresses, tops, slippers, hoodies etc. Got a hoody each for my girls for a tenner reduced from £55, tops reduced to £3, slippers for £7 etc.
Also some lovely Elle short pajamas for £6 and Firetrap top and shorts set for £7.50!

I just searched Jack Wills, then refined the filters by my dd’s sizes, then price low to high

A couple of years ago on these threads, we all made our own indoor marshmallow kits. We bought chafing fuel from Amazon and retractable bbq prongs and then wrapped it all up nicely with some chocolate and biscuits. I bought gift baskets from the works.

Poundland have the mint chocolate oranges too.

It wasn't but this looks great as well so i will add that as well thank you!

Mines just arrived too. The bigger item (half price jumper for BIL) wasn't eligible for next day delivery weirdly

I’ve seen the mint chocolate oranges in Tesco, I hope you are able to get one x

My sister is obsessed with the Terry's mint oranges but I think she must be secretly buying them all up because they're permanently out of stock in all my local supermarkets 🤣

How old is he? I'll have a look

@TheGirlWhoLived Thank you for the m&s link. More than we would normally spend but purchased for a friend who has had a tough year

He’s 15 @redjoker

Really into taking things apart and figuring out how they work. Budget £30-£35 max. Would prefer something to tinker with than loads of instructions to follow.

Lots of the kits are quite young - more toys for kids than actual tinkering for teens.

@EekGoesTheBaby suggested a lock picking kit and I was proper excited - it seemed perfect until we found out he already has one!

First post this year but having a panic about how little I've done!
Can anyone recommend a smart watch suitable for an 11 year old? All she can tell me is it needs to be 'tappy' maybe play a game and tell the time 😂

A couple of years ago, I bought some fab STEM kits from a subscription company. They were previous kits and you didn’t need to subscribe to buy them. I am trying to find the link for you…
plus I’d forgotten about them and they’d be perfect for a couple of nephews that I need to buy for.

I've just been browsing the children in need website for DS2's C.I.N school day apparel and came across these very cute Pudsey Doctor Who bears. We're big Doctor Who fans here so they've been ordered as Xmas gifts. Reduced from £25 to £15.

The postage was a bit steep on the cin site but I did order a few bits (badges, ears, water bottle etc) and the bears, so I tried not to begrudge the postage.

Hi @Ilovepugs2017 - that’s definitely a genuine Oodie - looks lovely. Was it from the Amazon company discussed earlier?

Thanks

Ooh and I found these gorgeous Xmas print PJ's in Primark this week. I wasn't going to bother getting matchy PJ's this year but I couldn't resist. The fabric is lovely and soft, and the print is so pretty!

£8.50 for kids and £13 for adults I thought was very reasonable.

@Ilovepugs2017 - weird question - but are the pockets on your Oodie open all down the side, or have they been sewn partway up?

Looking on the Amazon site, the identical item seems to have had the pockets partly sewn up, (which seems weird!)

Yes I think the seller is TrueFace. I’m gonna order the pizza design one for my oldest DS. Think the panda one was just over £17 so a bargain!

Can you post the link to this please. I'm looking to get one for my dd. Thanks

Ooh good question! I’m just out at the moment but when I’ll get back I’ll check and upload a photo of what the pocket is like 😊
