Should have said it's £7 off £75

I twitched on the Dalmatian for both of mine. Will see if my DM wants to give it to them but if not I will. They love that sort of crap but I absolutely refuse unless it’s cheap enough to not hurt too much when its time is done.

WhereTheresAHill · 30/11/2023 07:45

@Babynumberthreeee I’ll pm you

Babynumberthreeee · 30/11/2023 08:01

@Itsfridaynightok thanks so much I used your code

As above @WhereTheresAHill perhaps pm the other person that asked? Thank you so much for thinking of me!

SweetPeaPods · 30/11/2023 08:04

@ChristmasJumperz that sounds perfect thanks!

MarshmallowsOnToast · 30/11/2023 08:11

Does anyone know if the Argos "glitch" with the stacking £7 off £75 codes is still working before I go wasting energy on it?

Thanks! 🎄🎅

WhereTheresAHill · 30/11/2023 08:16

I'm in my 30s and like disney. I love the sketchbook decorations and mugs from disney store. Or primark have some lovely things in at the moment, especially if she likes stitch! Their fleece blankets are lovely, socks and they have lots of tree decorations too.

Can't help with candles, but the aldi ones apparently get great reviews? I use the Reed diffusers and my mum likes the candles. They had a lovely nutcracker one recently.

Party bag fillers - tattoos, stickers, flickin chickens or sticky men, small pot of playdough/slime (or make your own and add some pipe cleaners, googly eyes to make monsters. Lots of ideas on pinterest for playdough bags). Whoopie cushion, and whistle (parents might hate you even though the kids love them!) I did alot of parties and those always went down well!

In my area slime and playdoh and party bags is forbidden as all the parents hate the mess!

If the person is a disney person, i would recommend the disney store over other cheaper places. There is often codes and cashback for there too.

@Itsbeginningtolookalotlike I've googled it and it says up to age 12. I'm toying with it for my 9yo but would be interested in feedback on it too

clpsmum · 30/11/2023 09:24

I don't think the Argos codes are stacking any longer

Timelass · 30/11/2023 09:26

Big thankyou to both @farnworth and @Qwerty21 for their recommendations, (Way back on thread 12) re photo blankets.
A lovely red panda blanket has now been delivered .
My grandson will be very happy.

redjoker · 30/11/2023 09:31

@Wtafis some great budget candles that actually have a good scent are the Habitat ones in Sainsburys

my fav is 'morning coffee' which isnt shown on this link but they have it in store, come in nice reusable pots, they do really big versions of these too and other variations

Did anyone get their rainbow bath bombs from amazon? I’ve had an email saying if they aren’t despatched within a week the order will be cancelled.

I’m not having any luck with argos codes either. I used to receive the emails, then they stopped despite my marketing emails still being ‘on’ in my account (I’ve tried turning it off then on - still nothing). Not going to junk either. I emailed them to see if they could help - no response whatsoever. I’ve tried putting a different email address into the link someone posted - still no code!

I’ve done with big spending so I’m after a £40 spend one if anyone has one going spare please.

Valnette currently have BOGOF on their gift boxes. I got them from a recommendation on a previous thread and I am seriously impressed by the scents and the way they are packaged

ShopDisney has a sale on some of their Xmas items and this snow globe is lovely - I'm just back from the Parks and saw it in person and it's really very cute

Temu do bags of little pin badges which are good for party bags. Kids like to stick them on school bags
