@evtheria @Heresapickle amazing thank you!!

30% off at Snapfish or 50% off over £50 with SPXMAS23.

I can’t believe how fast these threads are filling up!

Ive been looking on groupon and there are a few local deals on Christmas related activities- ice skating near me for example. Worth a look.

@Glitterandmud thank you - great ideas!! 💜

Thanks for the Jellycat tip, that’s 3 presents ticked off my list!

Can anyone recommend some ready mixed non-alcoholic cocktails for my pregnant step-daughter. Thanks in advance x

Black Friday banner at George Asda says 20% off when you spend £25 on selected clothing, footwear and accessories (exclusions given on homepage)

DS is looking for an expansion card for his Xbox s. I have no idea what I’m looking for. Something that gives him extra space to store games as it uses downloadable codes only. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

@Aquicksitdown, we've got a Da Vinci frame at home and it's really good, very solid.

I did splash out and pay £30 but the black A4 one is on Amazon for £23.99 at the moment

That’s what I thought and when I reordered I looked everywhere for the option and it simply was not there, thus the gift message.

I can second this. My mother now hates them for this reason.

I do like these threads. Just got DS an AirUp bottle which he has been asking about for months and, as a joint present for him and DS, a hoverboard. They have been asking for a hover board for years. I'm not sure they're going to get much use from the hoverboard now they're older so they' re going to have to share.

Can I please get some advice on vr headsets? Child has seen an advert on TV today for meta quest 3 and roblox and now a vr headset for roblox as been added to the list. I skimmed the vr chat and now regret it. Is the meta quest 3 the only vr headset that works with roblox?

I live near the naked marshmallow shops, happy to pick up and post out next time I'm in town :)

Thanks for the heads up re: Laithwaites being a nuisance. Have now changed my number on there to my old, still out of use, number. I work from home so will likely be in regardless of when it arrives!

Roblox also works on Meta Quest 2. Currently £250-£300 on Argos (different memory capacity) and get get a £50 Argos gift card with it.

Yes I've seen the argos prices. Would we need the higher memory? I'm concerned about the microphone, can you turn this off? I don't like the idea of having the household broadcast whilst the child is playing

@MammaGnomes dd needs new crocs and when I looked on Vinted last week there were loads BNWT

I checked 2 Lidls- no Silentnight throws, just electric blankets 😪. Will see what Aldi comes up with on Thur.

Does anyone have any recommendations for nice stationery for a teenage girl please?

Also any recommendations for nice smelling body moisturiser for a young boy (under 10) - it needs to smell nice or he won't use it?

Thanks

Sainsbury's stationery is always gorgeous & we'll loved my the teen girls in my life. Or Typo.

Bulldog moisturisers are inexpensive, decent & smell good.

Thanks @Puffalicious - I'll take a look

Does anyone possibly have an argos code for a £60 spend?

Is the thread for the red/white B&M Christmas stockings still alive?
Am after a J for an aunt who’s unexpectedly coming for dinner 🫣

Thank you @whoknows1230 !
