Thread 10 - the one where we’re NOT sharing the Aero sharing bars

[Reastie]

I love the fact that the nn of the person who said this to me is @chocolateisavegetable - very apt!

In message two are the links and info from last year - if anyone has anything they'd like me to amend or add, please do tag me and I'll update.

A reminder not to post affiliate links in the thread but that MN do change amazon links shared by posters into MN affiliate links.

Please do watch the thread rather than post to mark place to make it easier for everyone to keep up and find relevant info.

I've been keeping an eye on the price of a specific vtech marble rush set. It's been at £42.99 as the best price for the last few weeks, today it dropped to £40 as the best price at a few places (Amazon and Argos etc). So I've ordered it as this set has been specifically requested.

I had a £4 off in my Amazon offers page if I selected an Amazon drop off point instead of home delivery, so only paid £36. It's a win win as getting it delivered there means the kids won't see it being delivered and wonder what's in the big parcel lol.

VTech Marble Rush Adventure Set, Construction Toys for Kids with 10 Marbles and 128 Building Pieces, Electronic Track Set for Boys & Girls, Colour-Coded Toy with Sound, 4 Years +, English Version https://amzn.eu/d/aDpkGEc

Bargain Lego Classic set, halt price firm to £30. I've bought this before for my son and it's full of a ton of proper building bricks eg 2x4 blocks, rather than lots of useless pieces. Really recommend for kids that want to build rather than make the sets.

@bizzey @frecklejuice @Mentaldays thank you all! Received and ordered! X

Amazon have a mens grey Levis T-Shirt for just £8 currently available in all sizes except 3xl

Thanks for heads up!

Just worth checking delivery- XL saying delivery after December 30th

Oooh thanks for the Levi’s top - L was 20th Nov for me

Thanks for the levi's t shirt, bought for dd's boyfriend.

Now I'm looking for a £10 secret santa gift for a lady in her 40s who's having a tough time at home (husband and kids).
I don't want to get a mug and hot chocolate but I'm struggling with something just for her to make her feel special and loved.

@dizzygirl1 a cinema voucher for 1? It would give her an escape for a couple of hours to get lost in a film of her choice.

Etsy might be a good place to start- you might find something you can personalise with a nice message or with something appropriate?

I had a quick look and there’s lots of gifts if you search for hug for example.

@dizzygirl1 I bought these gift sets from Valentte for £10 each and they are lovely, the packaging looks luxurious and contains a mini diffuser and hand cream or there's one with a candle as well. I can vouch that the diffusers are high quality and last ages.

New thread title 😆

Christmas plea - does anyone have a code for the 02 Christmas decoration I could use? 🙏 🎄 would be perfect for nephew with a wooden decoration obsession.

Gabby's Dollhouse figurine set down to 11.99 on Amazon which is the cheapest I have seen anywhere.

Joanie have 40% off everything. Really great stuff!

@Hickry Just a heads up if you haven't selected gift wrapped. Ordered DS a big vtech marble rush set from Amazon on prime day deals and it came with the original packaging on display 🤦‍♀️

If anyone likes Steven brown there is 50% off everything site wide use code New50

Is the vtech marble rush the best?

Dd is almost 6 and played with one for the first time this week. It's now top of her Christmas list.

Can I have a o2 code please?

Interesting - just looked at my Ideas list on Amazon and some items are saying “upcoming deal.” Useful to know.

I would expect Nike to run the 25% off for Black Friday again, there is no guarantee that what you want will still be in stock then but it might be worth the risk if you can still get 20% off afterwards. As far as I’m aware they don’t do better than 25% off

I can give you a referral code for 10% off, however, they used to do 20% off and if you go on one of the older referral threads you should still be able to use one of the 20% off ones. My DD got one of these last year and I was sceptical but she uses it everyday for school and is still using it today

I'd say so, we have a smallish set and both my children enjoy it. I just can't face another big box of stuff in the house so aren't buying them anymore 😅

Edit - this was in reply to @MadeForThis about vtech marble runs

I never did use the £5 in my Oliver Bonas Account and its still there just FYI. It added itself nothing done by me so worth checking

I have a contribution!

Had an email from craft gin club. If you have signed up before and rejoin using the code RS-30-EMDEC then you get December's box for £31.50. Not sure if you can get the box cheaper as a new member but also suspect I've used all of mine and DH's email addresses at this point anyway 😅

I thought airups would be a waste too but both DC use them daily for school - we did well on one of the prequel threads and got metal ones with expired pods for a really good price in the summer. I would definitely recommend them.
