Thread 11 - the one where pandemic is good & very replayable

[Reastie]

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.

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.

Does anyone know if Converse ever do discounts? I am trying to get warm lined trainers for my 8 year old. Or if anyone has other suggestions (they should be waterproof though).

We have it! Has been a hit here for 8/9 year old (9 year old has asd/adhd/dyslexia/dyspraxia/processing disorder and speech disorder and he can read the cards, knows what the things are and manage to describe them!)

Oh that's a great idea, thanks!

Books2door is the best replacement for the book people I have found.

Annoyingly the Papier referral (which I am sure used to be £15 but is now £10) gets reduced to £7.50 if using the FIRSTDIBS sale code.

Totally understandable of course, but annoying, and together with the £4 for postage is stopping me from checking out. I have got too used to bargains!

Those after Apple Pencils -
APPLE Pencil (2nd Generation) - White Free Collection and 5 Month Apple Services at Currys £69

My half price apothecary wellness basket arrived - absolutely gorgeous. Thanks to the PP for posting when it was re-stocked online. £25 is a steal.

Would anyone happen to know a code for the Nsked Marshmallow Company?
My dd13 would love their advent calendar. But you have to pay for postage too

Great Black Friday sale on osprey london - cross body bags for example £35 down from £145. Leather and good quality. Flash sale it says so be quick.

Do we think typo will do a Black Friday offer?

@MissBoomBastic I ordered ours off PrezzyBox as it was cheaper than the official site and pretty sure I went through TopCash too, if you can get a code for there it might work out better (not sure if there are any codes floating about ATM)

My email for the cake advent says "the food company". I ordered mine for delivery at the end of this month so hopefully it actually arrives

Can't edit. It was the food market sorry not company

Ha I bought the endoscopy camera for my husband. Considering getting another for my father in law. I need to stay out of this thread til pay day...

Thank you that’s another really good shout. One of my favourite presents from my teen years is my jewellery box.
shes from a family who has a lot of “family jewels” so that’s a nice idea. Perhaps paired with the other ideas above could make a really good present.

You bought an endoscopy camera? That’s quite the Christmas gift

Fussy deodorant has their Black Friday discount of 25% using code BLACK
The best natural deodorant I’ve found so I’ve bought a starter set for my daughter as well.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a hot chocolate advent calendar please? I've been looking at the Yawn brew one which gets good reviews but is quite expensive. The John Lewis one is cheaper, but just powdered sachets by the look of it rather than chocolate flakes. I'd be grateful for any thought or suggestions for other ones!

I'm baffling as to what sort of typo this could be!!

Edit: I've just seen the original post about endoscopic cameras for looking behind radiators etc. Possible contender for the next thread title though - "The one with the endoscopy camera"

Wait, what is this?

I adore my endoscopy camera. Very satisfying for checking for earwax.

Anyone looking for an Apple Pencil should consider a non Apple equivalent. I bought this a couple of years and find it amazing. My daughter has one too and uses for drawing on Procreate. I’ve recommended to loads of other people (including former Apple Pencil users) and everyone really rates it.

bit of a bargain for £12.74.

Lol, look we take playing doctors and nurses VERY seriously...

It was LudicrousDickbiscuit's 'endoscopic inspection camera' that I bought from Amazon. For looking in cavity walls etc.

I want to buy a thermal printer for my child so they can design and print their own stickers, artwork etc.

I was hoping to buy one from Amazon, but was thinking of buying the printing paper in bulk on Temu as it’s much cheaper and different colours etc.

does anyone know if they’re more or less all compatible?

Converse should give you a discount for signing up to emails
they did 25% off not long ago for singles day (Nov 11)

Converse usually do offers for Black Friday. Think it is usually a 30% discount
