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.

My 19 y.o DD has had one since she was about 12 and still uses it but only for special occasions - film is very expensive. She has got magnets that stick on the back of the photos so her notice board at uni is covered in pics from various parties. She also has some really nice photo frames a bit like rectangular snow globes that Instax pictures fit in. I doubt know if a 10 year old would be self restrained enough to understand pictures cost about a pound each!

Which reminds me, can anyone recommend a good pair of finger nail snippers? (the smaller ones, not the larger toe nail size)? I'd like some good quality ones, ideally that look a bit different to standard ones so DS knows which are his....

@Timeforallthecheese , how long do the slippers have to be? DH and I both have the Shepherd of Sweden ones (the men's ones are called Anton), they're hard soled so can happily be worn to put something out in the bin or whatever, and are so cosy. They're ankle length though, are about £75 although you can often get a discount for signing up.

I bought mine from Westmorland Sheepskins but actually got a cracking deal on his from Heppo.com (sorry can't link that one as it's still got my details on it). They came direct from Sweden but the shipping is only £5.99 and there's no additional tax to pay. They arrived within a week.

Aaargh gutted I missed the Papergang boxes, I love them.

For those looking at tech deck stuff have a look at local selling sites and Facebook marketplace. Ramps etc often sold on very cheaply and as it's plastic don't look too second hand.

Some decent Black Friday deals on Play Doh at the moment.

I've just ordered one. Bought it in black for £15.97.
Thanks for the recommendation.

Have always used oral b and fancy trying a sonic one.

I got this Christmas stamp set one year to split and put in https://www.theworks.co.uk/p/stamps-and-accessories/10-piece-christmas-stamper-set/5052089202801.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA3uGqBhDdARIsAFeJ5r1lJv3e2Na8zxWytfUW8VO_wBT7n5uMdKQRFN-C-XSd9rlfsB8HzZsaApOIEALw_wcB

Also found some cute little Christmas tree candles before. Or the "freebie" bath fizzers from gruum look like they would be good

Thank you! There's another pay postage offer on gruum with Bath fizzers in but my dad won't use the bath fizzers so I haven't bothered. That's a good idea though with different accessories. I was thinking I had to keep it all as Gruum branded stuff but you e inspired me now! Think I may get some charcoal face masks to go in it and some other bits, thank you!

@psuedocream3 @BlairWaldorfOG

Try this for Hot Diamonds

With a new email put something in your basket and leave until tomorrow - they "should" send you a 20% off personal code

That code should then stack

First use BIRTHDAY FOR £15 off
Then JEWELS for free post
Then your 20% code
Then try BF30

It won't work with the MSE40 code

I managed to get a £40 pair of earring a down to £7.40 with the above

@LemonFrosting - if that’s the one with the Xmas tree wax melt, you could add a wax burner - I had exactly the same conversation last night with a friend who was regretting buying the sets for colleagues! (She didn’t know what wax melts were, so learning about burners was eye-opening, apparently 🤣)

Me please if you still have it 🙏

@stillholly another dentist here, who loves the iO and wouldn’t go back to anything else.

£10 cash back on a £20 spend with WH Smith, Waterstones, HMV etc ❤️

@Delahot One of our best received cracker gifts was a hexbug in each. From ages 4-75 thought they were hilarious.

Can anyone recommend good running earbuds/earphones? Thanks

Ugg type slippers - have you access to Costco? The ones they sell, Kirkland, are brilliant quality and price. Otherwise TK’s

20% off White company code in my email today. Worth checking.

Bobbi brown 25% off now on too.

Our elf is from Dobbies and soft/cute. The creepy ones scare me!

I saw them recently in The Works and my local charity shop also stocks them

Thank you.

Does anyone have a white company free delivery code? I don’t want to spend £50 though, thank so much. Someone normally posts one each year so fingers crossed

They're perfect! Thank you. You need to register to view? Seems a bit mental. Any referrals or codes would be fab, since with a top it'll be £100. If it's under that I'll feel better.

I nipped into Tesco yesterday and all of the giftsets were half price with Clubcard prices so I got two Fuzzy Duck Men's Bodywash giftsets for the price of one. They're still full price elsewhere so worth considering if you're going shopping IRL and need shower sets for anyone.

@Timeforallthecheese if you can get to a Costco they do good sheepskin slippers and boots at this time of year. The slippers are really good. I looked at the women’s boots this year and they didn’t come far enough up the ankle for me. Debenhams sell a make of sheepskin boots that get good reviews. TKMax worth a look too.

If you’re meaning “bride” pyjamas, when I was getting married I saw lots - try Boohoo, Asda, Shein for stuff like that

When I purchased mine I added a moisturiser at the checkout which was on offer. I have since seen a couple more offers on, so got those to bulk it up (usually just pay postage, or again top up with something on offer at the checkout).
There is freebies at the moment for Christmas tree soaps, you could add those?
