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

Are there any stockists of Naked marshmellow that don’t charge huge delivery costs? I only need a box of vegan marshmallows to go in a set I’ve made up for my nephew. Delivery cost is same as the price of the item!

Not read full thread yet (only on p33!) so you might already have had an answer BUT if not! Have you a Co-op near by? They sell boxes of Naked marshmallows in ours (Lincolnshire Co-op) so yours might too.

Morrisons have Battle of Hogwarts lego for £50 with a More card (will be dependant on store stock and don't think stores will carry many) I'm kicking myself for not picking it up when I saw it when I finished work but really don't have anyone to gift it to (and much as I love it I need to stop finding things for me)

Someaddedsugar · 21/11/2023 12:36

@QueenOfMincePiesAndWine the hobbycraft ones have £5 off for Black Friday. They used to do a £5 birthday voucher so if you could set up an account you might get a voucher that you could put towards it? Or try downloading the app as sometimes you get a £5 voucher that way too? That'd make it £20 per trolley...

JYSK have a trolley too that might work?

Managed to pick up this for DD from Claire’s accessories for 40p. £6 on sale and there was a further 20% off clearance so £5.40 then I used a £5 rewards voucher. Tbh I’d never pay full price for this at £12 though - it’s tiny!

@redjoker @Someaddedsugar she wants ones like this https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/rashult-trolley-white-20463056/ i had thought about hobbycraft as a cheaper option, does anyone know of any codes? all the ones I find seem to have expired

If you're anywhere near the East Mids I've got 2 of the IKEA raskog trolleys I've been trying to sell on Gumtree 🤣

QueenOfMincePiesAndWine · 21/11/2023 13:08

@Someaddedsugar I downloaded the app to see if that'll work i'm now checking my email obsessively!

QueenOfMincePiesAndWine · 21/11/2023 13:09

@MarshmallowsOnToast unfortunately I'm in bedfordshire, I imagine couriering them would cost ££ 😟

VegetablesFightingToReclaimTheAubergieneEmoji · 21/11/2023 13:18

@QueenOfMincePiesAndWine
i know the ikea ones are expensive but they are much more durable than the hobbycraft and other ones.

QueenOfMincePiesAndWine · 21/11/2023 13:29

@VegetablesFightingToReclaimTheAubergieneEmoji that's good to know!! I wish ikea did discount codes

mogtheexcellent · 21/11/2023 13:29

@Aquicksitdown sorry missed a few days. Ikea used to do a version for 3.50. Almost identical to davinci ones. A4 only though. I have a wall of them. Havent seen them in my store recently though.

Those trolleys occasionally come up on family discount (their card thing) and sometimes you can find a reduced colour or one in the bargain section. But that’s some planet aligning luck you’ll need

I’ve just collected my M&S basket and it’s a great bargain for £25. Really lovely gift … which I might need to give to myself!

The latest offering is an apothecary calm ultimate hamper down from £85 to £41. M&S really have done a great job with this range. It’s smells fantastic!

@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.

Also had this problem as I bought them for my dh - he also complained of having a headache- thought it was just him! I was very happy when my oldest ds headphones broke which were noise cancelling Sony. Brilliant headphones but I spent hours of my life standing in front of him miming taking your headphones off as he couldn’t hear me. Drove me nuts.

@Reastie the thread is getting close to the end!

Can anyone recommend me a cocktail box, as in it has all of the ingredients to make cocktails, I'm thinking it might be a good bet for a neighbour if I can find a good deal?

Raindancer411 · 21/11/2023 14:45

@neonleopard I had that and they didn't actually have them and my order was sitting waiting for someone to cancel it

Thank you so much! I got 3 pairs of earrings for £22 and free postage, which is a couple of stocking fillers and a secret santa gift sorted.

Gladysrocker · 21/11/2023 14:50

I don’t suppose anyone knows any tricks to get free postage from Nespresso? Or a discount code to offset the ridiculous £4.99 charge!

slithytoveisascientist · 21/11/2023 15:04

Does anyone have an Argos code please? About to spend £400!
