I need buy small gifts for some young people I am mentoring. Food gifts not appropriate. Two girls 16 and 17 and a boy of 16. No ideas of what is an appropriate but cheap present other than books (which I know won’t get read).

What about a notebook and pen? Next have nice initial ones that are unisex in some colourways...
Smells would be a fairly boring but useful one too...
ditto socks...

Something linked to the mentoring work perhaps? Positivity cards or other tools to help manage tricky emotions?

@unicornwonders we have this, but it’s from two years ago so looks to be discontinued as it’s 2-3 times the price I paid at Argos in 2021. It’s really fun though!
Monster Jam Mini Megalodon Race and Chomp

I don’t suppose anyone has an UGG code that works for full price items do they? I would be eternally grateful! It’s a last minute request that I hadn’t expected!

Would anyone know of anywhere to buy the Oral B Pro 3 toothbrush cheaper than £35? I need 3 of them, eek!

DiscoChristmas · 21/11/2023 19:50

Hope someone on here can advise please!
DD6 has become fascinated with these Mini Brands balls? But there seem to be so many different themed ones. Food, Disney, toy ones.

If your DC have them, do they get played with? Or are they just for display? Thinking they could be used with the dolls house.

And are any themes better value than others?

Thank you for any help.

What does cloud smell like? Which Britney perfume would you say? Please

I wouldn't say its similar to any I've tried.

It's a bit more powdery sweet. Not cloying and kiddy. But in a nice way!

It's a dupe of the extremely expensive Baccarat Rouge and I believe it won Teen Vogue fragrance of the year.

I bought it because I saw it mentioned on here time and time again as most complimented fragrance and it really is in my experience!

Honestly, it's an absolute steal for the price and you really can't go wrong!

I have managed to get a 100ml bottle in the past for circa £38.

Also, I’ve just decided that my best ever Christmas threads buy is not the turtledoves, nor the chocolate, nor the squishmallows or the hot diamonds. Nope - it is my trusty rapesco tape dispenser - I wouldn’t be without it!

Me, too, @MamaClausToTheRescue, and not only for resealing my internet purchases when I return them.

Thanks for the new thread.
For the person asking about cloud perfume….it’s a very sweet smell, If your dd likes sweet smells then she will love it.

Great! I think she'll love it Smile

Hi just wondering if anyone has a discount code for very? Looking to make a big purchase and every little helps. Thanks 🎅

AnotherOne4 · 21/11/2023 20:02

Fragrance Wolrd Have there Black Friday deal. Buy one get one free. Use code BLACKFRIDAY

Bryna · 21/11/2023 20:05

@Justhereforthechristmasthreads thank you, I’d‘ve never thought to look there! When I tried to search I seemed to only find the classic version, which I have no idea if it smells the same!!

Darkbutstarrynight · 21/11/2023 20:05

Offer from tesco on some cards. Also useful if going out for a meal around Christmas as could buy say a £100 card now but will only cost you £80 so £20 of free food...and spreads out the cost

Thread 12 - the one where we're hoping for mega Hotel Chocolat bargains
Bryna · 21/11/2023 20:07

@Justhereforthechristmasthreads I’ve had a look it’s out of stock near me and not available for delivery 😞

gawditswindy · 21/11/2023 20:07

Anyone seen anything on Costa cards? I've a few to get but not high value.

Favouritefruits · 21/11/2023 20:09

@DiscoChristmas my sons have the mini brands one collects the toy brands the other the good ones and they get played with lots but only when I bought the shops! They make little people to go shopping and push the trolleys and buy each other’s products 😂

Favouritefruits · 21/11/2023 20:09

food ones not good ones *

BuyStuff · 21/11/2023 20:11

@Xmasiscoming6weeks i used the 20% off your first credit purchase offer few weeks ago. There are some exclusions but managed to save a fortune off my new iPhone. Just Google Very 20%

I've just googled it but it looks like a standard tape dispenser?

Puffalicious · 21/11/2023 20:13

Just ordered from Footballsbest4U I do thoroughly recommend them, but warning that their postage has rocketed this year- £14 (2 kids ' kits + 2 adult shirts)!

HAPPY10 gets 10% off your order, which eases the postage somewhat.

Must order by 25th- Saturday- for Xmas delivery.

*Note you get 5% reduction if you pay by bank transfer, which I don't think is worth it for the pfaff (they ask for a separate message to be sent to accompany this).

MamaClausToTheRescue · 21/11/2023 20:17

Thanks @Puffalicious - I placed my first order with them last week but the postage was much less than that. Less than £5 anyway. I can only assume it is because you’ve ordered multiple items.

unicornwonders · 21/11/2023 20:20

@HerInfiniteVariety you found it! thank you so much, she’s going to be over the moon. I wondered why it was so hard to find but that explains it. She hasn’t stopped going on about it.

lemonsmum · 21/11/2023 20:21

Does anyone know if you can stack codes on Argos. It will be the 20% off furniture and then £5 if I sign up for marketing. Don't want to sign up if it won't work.

Trying to spend less than £100 on a bean bag 🙈

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 21/11/2023 20:21

Thanks for the new thread.

Is anyone else buying a kids fire tablet or knows of anything else please? It's for a 7 year old. Smile
