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

@PurpleSkittle I’ve got some from muji which I’ve had for years are the best ones I own. I was in London recently for work and specifically called in to buy another pair No fancy packaging, they just in a little cellophane wrapper.

I got from Amazon for my DS which had finger & toe nail clippers, tweezers and some other tools. It’s a good set and he uses it all the time.
I have taken a chance and recently purchased a similar mini set from Shein to gift, hoping they will be just as good.

If anyone can help, I’m looking for ultra mini uggs in chestnut or antelope. As soon as they come into stock they fly out, any suggestions on where I might find them please 😊

Not sure why that gif is there 🙈

@Mumto3thatsme you can create an alert on the Ugg site which emails you when they come back in stock. I got chestnut a few weeks ago.

@nickdrakeslovechild thanks for the toothbrush recommendation. Just ordered one for me & one for DD. I was talking to her about an electric toothbrush yesterday but she said she gets annoyed when they run out of charge. This one says it lasts a month so hopefully problem solved. Also I think the oval heads are easier for cleaning teeth than the round heads.

I could do with some present suggestions for an 18th birthday. I know it’s not strictly Christmas, but it is in December if that counts?!?

it needs to be thoughtful but cheap!! We are not close, but close enough to buy a present, things like lockets etc will be bought by closer family. Up to £50, but the cheaper the better!! She’s a lovely, delightful girl, but I couldn’t tell you one interest, so I’m stumped!

thank you

Can you ask her parents/close family if she is getting some kind of charm bracelet? If she is you could buy a charm for £20-30 and then get a bit of something else to go with it.
Alternatively, if she wears earrings they would be a nice gift which she could either wear daily or for special occasions

Warren James have silver earrings with birthstones (Decembers are lovely) reduced to £19 (plus extra for gift box)
They look a lot more expensive than they are (bought for my niece)
Add some posh chocolate and it will be a lovely present for around £40

Are the 3 camels still working for everyone? I no longer get any historical tracking info when I search for items, just the option to create a price watch

Am putting my Christmas decorations up this weekend 🤶🎄will all be worth it tonight sitting by the fire looking at the lights.
Love this part of Christmas 🤶
Can anyone remember last year didn’t New Balance have a fantastic Black Friday sale?
I’ve signed up for emails but had nothing worth looking at yet 🤷‍♀️
Am waiting on hourglass for their palette and Estee also.
Thanks for all the eyeshadow recommendations also.

Am going to hold out for that glam Natasha Denota or ABH - wouldn’t be huge fan of CT makeup apart from flawless filter and I hear ELF doing a great dupe of it!

My sockshop order from Thursday has just arrived. I bought 10 pairs of bamboo school socks for DD and 3 pairs of bamboo (not school) socks for DS who had asked to try them recently. My free gift is a lovely boxed set of 4 more bamboo pairs in DSs size! Will make a lovely extra gift for him. All for under £20 delivered so I'm delighted. Thanks to whoever flagged the deal.

Also, I needed some 'filler' gifts to top up teen DSs pile. Have just got a load of things from M&M direct, Nike gloves and water bottle, shower speaker, puma hoodie etc. They have some great prices if you rummage! Also sell Ugg slippers and some designer stuff. Topcashback at 12% for new customers.

I’ve split it up as sticking fillers for teen ds.

@Delahot The fortune telling fish are always good fun.

Hi, can anyone remember what the BF or just after reductions were last year on Estée Lauder’s blockbuster set and/or the Clarins advent calendar.

I have vague memories of really good offers, (and being annoyed as I had already got the EL set).

I am debating whether to buy Clarins- but even with 20% off it’s not particularly good value imo.

Thanks

that was to the poster who asked about the grumm deal a while ago. It’s meant to say stocking fillers!! Originally said sticking fillets 🤣

If anyone sees a deal on Lego set Sonic's Green Hill Zone Loop Challenge please let me know! It’s £74.99 in most places I’ve seen. I still have an Entertainer Jack’s code which works on Lego, however they have it at the full RRP of £95, making it no cheaper than everywhere else!

I also just got my sock shop order and came to say a massive thank you to whoever posted about the free bamboo socks gift on Thursday. It's 4 brightly coloured, mens bamboo socks in a lovely gift box. I bought 6 pairs of school socks for DS, and got it all for under £13 inc postage 🙏

Also thanks for the nail clipper ideas. After posting on here, I did an Amazon search and found this set which has good reviews and 54% off so twitched before I saw any of the other suggestions...

The paper gang code worked for me just now. It’s just the first box though.

Bone conducting one 100%. I have the mini sized Aftershokz which is better for smaller heads - they are on Amazon BF
Bone Conducting Headphones

Sorry post fail, the above on headphones was for @mummyof2boys30
