@WidowedMum@Ssfb3 where are you putting the save10 code in for the mitre footballs? I can't see a box anywhere!
Edit: it's sale10 not save10 although that code apparently is also a valid code and it's on the very last page of all!

@redjoker have you seen the avocado smash game? Involved counting and shouting 'guacamole!' at full volume. We've had a lot of enjoyment from it without ever actual following the rules.

Did anyone ever actually receive their giant wowcher pigs? Mine is AWOL.

@Puffalicious here is a screenshot of the two I got. Using the code VIP30 brought it right down

Ah, yours are kids' ones, that's why. My teen is very tall, so needs a men's size 😒🙄.

For anybody looking for board game ideas, I’m going to plug Busy Toddler again

she’s American, so some of them have different names here/aren’t available. It’s a bit wordy too as it’s a blog, but you can skip to the ages in the table of contents (it includes older kids, not just toddlers)

Hey would anyone happen to have a discount code for the perfume shop or Debenhams ?

Sister has requested perfume but would rather try and get the 50ml within budget rather than 30ml 🙈 tia xxx

Any offers on posca pens this year? I was debating them for my son but don't want to spend too much in case he doesn't use them.

Do you need special paper for them too?

I got some from Hobbycraft and had a £5 off voucher from my birthday which I used. They send you £5 for whenever your birthday is. Mine is conveniently very near Xmas!

Pass the bomb junior might be good for the six year Old?

Whilst everyone is thinking about games, does anyone have any recommendations for older kids?

I think Codenames is great, have played with ages ranging from 10 yr olds up to the elderly my dad.
You do need a decent number of players for this, though), 4 is the bare minimum.

The eBay 20% off code, (it works for some business sellers if you spend £20 or more with the same seller), ends tomorrow: SAVENOW

Thanks for this!! Just tried it on the dyson outlet store and managed to get a brand new hoover from £380 down to £258! Dyson automatically added a 15% off at the checkout and your code took another 20% off. Delighted as my hoover blow up on Monday and I need a new one. Thanks 😊

A version of frustration, snakes and ladders, and connect 4- but in our house we have this version that you load the counters onto a "slingshot" and have to flip it into a space. I cant the specific one online (but will take a photo later).. its great fun (even as adults we love it!)

Hi

Can anyone remember if Whistles do anything for Black Friday?

DM wants something from there and I don't know whether to wait but worried it will sell out.

onedayatatime73 · 15/11/2023 18:09

Also, what is the code the all the board games suggested and where from

Dee1224 · 15/11/2023 18:13

Very pleased for you @Maharajah20

Raindancer411 · 15/11/2023 18:13

Thank you both about the posca pens

Not Xmassy as such, but Uniqlo have quite a few reductions at the moment, including of some recent collaboration items that are further reduced to less than half price.

They are not a bargain - just suggestions in response to a request for good games for a ) year old.

Can anyone recommend small card/board games for a 6 year old? We love UNO and have loved orchard games but feel hes too old for those now. He cant read yet so struggling to find anything that isnt reliant on that

Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza is a brilliant little card game. My 6 year old loves it.

DH just casually dropped in that he needs 10 gifts for work colleagues plus sweets or biscuits for the office, reception team and the janitors/cleaners.
To complicate matters a mix of genders, different likes and a Muslim colleague who doesn’t celebrate Christmas but does go to the Christmas lunch and was always happy to receive a gift from his predecessor.
Help me because if DH does this he will bankrupt us!

Looking a Yeti rambler. Do they ever do discounts?

Rarely, although they do Blue Light Discounts.

FWIW Yeti stuff is absolutely fantastic. It's pricey but brilliant.

christmaspudding43 · 15/11/2023 18:46

Could we set up a separate thread for O2/Vodafone codes? In previous years there have been lots of offers and people, including me, wanting codes or sharing codes but it does take up quite a lot of thread space.

I've bought my Mother in Law a bag for xmas but wondered if anyone had any nice pompom or key chain ideas she could attach to make it feel a bit special

The Celtic and co voucher codes posted multiple times on this thread give £20 off with no minimum spend. They have some lovely keyrings.

Raindancer411 · 15/11/2023 19:03

Ok a group I am on they have said Sainsbury’s/nectar are doing a double up, but I cannot see anything about it. Anyone heard anything?

MadeForThis · 15/11/2023 15:53

I also seems to remember deals on beer and wine last year. Cases that were free for a month or massively discounted. I think beer24 and Brewdog both did offers. Has anyone seen any deals this year?

Craft Gin Club was always a favourite too. Now £9 P&P on a “sample box” though.
