Thanks @GoatsareGOAT for the title. Luckily, she was referring to the board game peeps!

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.

@RainbowZebraWarrior thank you - there are so many Called gift list! And I've searched and searched and I swear there isn't one with a yellow ribbon and red gift! 😂😂 the only one that looks anything like that doesn't have budgets which I need! At this point is pay for an app (and I never pay for apps! Ever the bargain hunter!)
@Wishingiwastracytutor is that just "wish list"? The only one I can find doesn't have the ability to put a budget/price.
Sorry for the diversion from budgets.

dramalamma · 18/11/2023 23:21

Bargains not budgets!

@Babynumberthreeee amazing thank you!

I was just browsing online, trying to find a gift for a relative and came across this Breakfast Sandwich Maker. It's currently 25% off at Amazon, for £29.99 (the cheapest I've managed to find it)
I'm so excited to get it, I really want to try it 😁

Breakfast Maker

Lidl had that recently for £24.99, not sure if they will have any left.

Does anyone know a way I can get the magnatiles road cheaper?

Gustavo1 · 18/11/2023 23:57

Does anyone have a look fantastic code please?
Buying make up for cheaper than I’ve found anywhere else but just doesn’t feel tight not to get that extra discount!!

Does anyone have any ideas for a nice addition to my lovely neighbour's Christmas gift - she buys for my DC and generally just lovely! She is 75, retired-vicar very independent!

Last year I got a little hamper of food goodies, this year so far I have a lovely pair of warm socks, a lovely small shortbread tin and stuck for any other ideas!

If she’s at all lefty / feminist I’d recommend this site: https://radicalteatowel.co.uk/ - bought my 89 yr old neighbour some Nye Bevin coasters from here a couple of years ago and she absolutely loved them.

Has anyone had articulate for kids? Is it any good for DS8 + DS6?

CanIPutTheTreeUpYet · 19/11/2023 00:20

@slipperypenguin I bought it for my niece/nephew of similar ages and they really enjoyed it! They took it home and played it alone and with their mum so the novelty didn't wear off too quick either.

LilLauraloo · 19/11/2023 00:23

Does anyone know if Jellycat do discounts on Black friday? Dd has asked for a cat with a personalised jumper and I really don’t want to spend £32 on it!!

Houseofsardines · 19/11/2023 00:28

TheresNoTelescreen · 18/11/2023 22:56

DS6 has asked for bath toys and books from Santa. If anyone has any ideas for anything suitable for his age I would be very grateful.

Villac wooden rubber band boat is good, or there’s another which uses a balloon to power it. My kids like the bath crayons from Janod on sale £6 in Kidly. We have the duck and fishing rod set by janod , £22 down from £27 atm in kidly, loads of fun with that. Green Toys do a few which my ds loved when he was about 5 or 6, a sea plane, a car transport ferry, tugboat and a submarine. Also rate the plui rain cloud, lots of fun easy to clean.

Thank you to whoever recommended the gardening gloves (2 for 1 deal)- paid £6.99 for both and they look like lovely gifts for a gardener!

Where are these from

fishfingersandchipsagain · 19/11/2023 00:47

I noticed these Cath Kidston in M&S on a Nectar offer. 4 little crackers fir £8, each containing a hand cream.

Breaking up into individual crackers at £2 each, they might make nice little teacher gifts for those with a lot to buy for.

Slightly unrelated but does anyone use the Amazon photos app? My account is showing as I’m eligible for a £15 credit if I start using Amazon photos! (I have prime)

The Grey Levis T shirt is back down to £8 again on Amazon. It's only this price in sizes Medium and Large though.

Reastie · 19/11/2023 05:56

Saw this on Instagram. Small businesses really struggle and this weekend sucks for them. I’ve never bought from them before but their candles look genuinely really nice website here and thought you might all be interested in the 30% code but only works this weekend!

If (like me) your favourite is the strawberry creams then this seems like a great deal! Must resist….

Many many threads ago there was LSA VASES down to £10.99. Did anyone over buy? I need three more sets 😭😭😭 and I just can't justify £24. If anyone did, I would be eternally grateful and obviously cover postage.

We're these in Sainsburys (as opposed to M&S)? I also saw a smaller CK gift set there with two hand creams for £4. Think I'm going to pop back this morning and grab some.
