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.

Lego Gabby's Dollhouse is down to £46.99 on Amazon

Looking for gift ideas for 2 year old girl. Shes youngest of 3 so already has inherited lots of the older/popular toddler toys. Anything new out in last year or so (less likely to have) that is going down well with this age group? I’ve got about £20-30 to spend. Any help much appreciated!

@doodles55
Code for 60% off tea towels at Ulster Weavers is TOWEL60
i think it’s free delivery if spend over £30

They have some very good items too in their outlet and you can get an extra 15% off that by joining newsletter. ( can’t combine with tea towel offer)

doodles55 · 10/11/2023 06:15

Thank you so much

Givealittlebit · 10/11/2023 06:33

I can't remember if I asked this on a previous thread but if I did I've missed any replies! Anyone got any ideas on discount code etc for moonpig?

Also I have another £7 off a £75 spend for argos if anyone would like it?

Bethebest · 10/11/2023 06:36

This looks like a really lovely Christmas book at £2.76 - 65% off. It looks like there are letters to take out and read and a tree dec. only just ordered it so can’t say for sure but the reviews are really good.

Anyone know how to get a discount on an annual Odeon subscription... I have two to buy 😬😬😬😬

laura1711 · 10/11/2023 06:51

I’ve just claimed the Vodafone reward for free socks where you just pay postage, but I won’t be using it if anyone needs it. It only has 55 minutes remaining on it 😊

jumpinghoops · 10/11/2023 06:55

Would love the socks if possible! Can I PM?

MerylSqueak · 10/11/2023 06:57

Good ( but not amazing) price on Cuisineart ice cream maker at amazon. £67.50 down from £99.

laura1711 · 10/11/2023 07:04

Of course 😊

lotsofthingstolearn · 10/11/2023 07:08

Just checking on the Ulster Weavers is it a bundle plus the discount code that means you can get 30 tea towels somehow?

Thanks

Lego Modern Art is down to £29.99 on Amazon currently. Really want to buy it, but have no one to buy it for....

DinkyGT · 10/11/2023 07:18

For those who’ve already ordered from Ulster Weavers, my despatch confirmation came through late last night! Sorry if it’s already been posted about, I’ve lost track of the thread 😂

Pigeonnoir · 10/11/2023 07:26

Hi accesorize has 22% off everything . Some nice stocking fillers or secret Santa.

Also have a request for help. We normally have a real tree but have moved house and have a lovely front window perfect for an Xmas tree but there is a radiator there .
So I'm looking for a lovely bargainous fake tree to go there ! Of course I would love a beautiful pre lit balsam hill but budget can't stretch. If anyone spots any please share .

Thanks

Passthecoffee · 10/11/2023 07:31

Have you been charged shipping on the Ulster weavers orders? It's supposed to be free for over £30 but I'm about to check out at £33 and I am being charged shipping.

shinny · 10/11/2023 07:36

I just put an order through - who knew I needed £32 worth of tea towels and got free shipping

shinny · 10/11/2023 07:37

I asked at end of previous thread if anyone had recommendations for a wildlife garden camera please? I’m clueless and want one for DH…..

PopcornAndGummyBears · 10/11/2023 07:45

Ok this is maybe a weird one…

I’m looking ideas for a 15 year old boy. Spends most of his time playing video games, but also loves taking things apart. Very techy! Doesn't really enjoy being outdoors so nothing sporty. I’d love some kind of sciencey/techy thing but most seem to be aimed at younger kids or are mega bucks. He enjoys the fiddling about with things and figuring out how they work, but isn’t academic so can’t get anything with a lot of intense writing/instructions.

Budget is around the £30 mark.

Over budget at £40, but I saw this Raspberry pi advent calendar advertised and thought it looked cool

Does anyone know if Lego Harry Potter is likely to be in any Black Friday deals? Youngest child has said she would really like this and I’m hesitating whether to make the most of cashback/blue light and just get the ones she wants or wait…

Someone was after this yesterday i think

How about a lock-picking kit? My DH likes to tinker. I got one for him last year (got the idea from MN), and it went down well. It had 2 clear locks for practice. It's a really fun gift, and an interesting skill to have (as long as it's not used for nefarious purposes, I hastily add).

I remember seeing your post and wondering if you'd get any replies. It's somethingvid love myself, but haven't bought one yet. Here's a link to a 'best garden wildlife cameras 2023' that was published last month by Gardeners World. Also, Argos has some I believe, but I've still not looked properly myself yet so just sharing what I've looked at so far.

This thread is moving so fast I'm not sure if this has already been posted, but Mia Tui bags have a good offer on cross body bags!
