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.

I'd love the Schuh voucher @Ilovepugs2017 if no one else has claimed it

Ordered the discounted Border biscuits from Amazon. Arrived in a million pieces. 😂 Won't send back as they were cheap but enough and they're only for me. But I did leave a bad Amazon review to warn future customers 😬

Yes please, that would be fantastic if you you don't mind. Thank you so much x

I'm glad someone else asked as I am also wondering the same!!

If anyone has a spare Argos voucher they won’t be using I’d be so very grateful 💖

When you click on those Lindt crackers on Amazon it suggests that you might also like a sonic toothbrush 😂😂.

I have sent it via PM 😊

I hadn't quite realised how minimal Amazon packaging is now - ordered sone bathroom scales as on DS list and they just arrived in their branded box , easy to flip box open with just a label with my order No and name and address on - good thing DS not here

So my niece is apparently into Roblox. My DCs are 5 and 2 so haven’t come across this before but have heard of it. Is anybody able to shine a light on what present related thing can be bought for it before I go down a Google rabbit hole please?

There are quite a few Roblox toys around but there is a wide variety of different games within Roblox. Do you know which games she likes?

Still got it. I’ll pm you 😊

I got so cross with Argos for never sending me any codes that I have deleted my account and created a new one

Great offer on a tile for £11.99 on Amazon. Great for anyone that regularly misplaces their keys/wallet/handbag…https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tile-Bluetooth-finding-Android-Compatible/dp/B0C8VK5ZF1/ref=asc_df_B0C8VK5ZF1/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=676294676146&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18359866134536985952&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045596&hvtargid=pla-2246243956440&psc=1&mcid=20bea69b59933cb6b50f4b89fdd0a2b6&th=1&psc=1

Does anyone have experience of 3D pens? We are planning to get ds one but no clue which ones are good.

Does anyone know the best (cheapest) place to buy a PlayStation portal?

Thanks so much @Ilovepugs2017 , the discount code worked on a pair of Dr Martens for my sister. She won't be expecting them at all and I can't wait to see her face. They're actually for her birthday but that's on the 13th. Thank you xx

Tesco has up to 25% off all of their Christmas presents, there’s some cute stocking fillers

Also, just purchased a heated gilet from Amazon for £33. It doesn’t come with a power bank but underneath where the people who purchased this also purchased’ area was a comparable power bank originally £20 but on offer for 6.99 so £40 in total which I think is a good price

@Thegirlhasnamechanged you can buy ‘Robucks’ for in game spending. They come as a gift card.

@fishfingersandchipsagain - my tech obsessed oldest adult DS tried noise cancelling AirPods and found they gave him a headache for some reason. He also couldn’t hear me when I was talking right behind him. I wouldn’t personally buy them for a child.

Oh yay 😀 great that it worked! No problem at all, your very welcome 😊 x

@Thegirlhasnamechanged

I was just going to say the same about robux.
They sell physical gift cards in tesco I think
they can use them in the game to change avatars and things like that.

Thank you for sharing, this is perfect for my DS who has mentioned these and doesn't really have any big present ideas this year! Ordered and collecting this evening!

Thank you. That is very helpful. I’ll get the regular ones then.

Next question … the second generation ones (Apple AirPods) are reduced to £99 at Argos, John Lewis, Amazon etc. Any tips for getting them cheaper?

@fishfingersandchipsagain - a couple of people on here have been offering Argos discount codes. Also, maybe try the referral thread?

You have reminded me that I want some new AirPods as mine are broken.

I might go wild and buy the £99 in JL for myself.

Thanks for the hoverboard Argos link.

I think I'm pretty much done for the kids now.

Need a few little bits for DH and his brother and then I'm done. Earliest ever thanks to this thread.

I'm sure I'll twitch though!
