Irritated** that is excellent frugal coffee shopping! I'm actually with O2 so at least get my Greggs coffee each week at the moment Grin

@Wtafis for my 5 year olds birthday we did this kind of football
they went down really well with children and parents alike, I was trying to avoid buying loads of little bits so just did one of those and a slice of cake.
(They did take up the whole boot though on the way with about 30 of them bouncing around!)

Could you have, at some point, added them to your 'block sender' list in your email provider account?

I know sometimes, when doing a bulk 'block sender' via Junk Mail/Spam folder, I have inadvertently blocked a genuine sender whose mail had strayed into junk/spam and I hadn't noticed when quickly scanning down through the list of mail I was about to block.

Thanks for that but I have checked and they aren’t in my blocked senders list.

Can the Argos request codes have a separate thread? Don’t mean to police the thread but request after request just fills up the thread

Yes my rainbow bath bombs arrived within a couple of days of ordering, good size box and smell nice through the packaging so hope yours do arrive!

Thanks - I’m not having much luck then!

I just noticed that along with M&S starting their 12 Days of Christmas reward calendar-thing on 1st Dec, John Lewis are also doing one for their reward customers this year. Might be worth checking each day to see if any good discounts/freebies. Hope the M&S one is a bit more exciting than last year though!

Gary Barlow not your thing?! 🤔🤣

That was me as I use a lot of oils for soap and candle making. It's Aroma Energy You can buy direct, through Amazon, or their Ebay shop. They have some lovely Christmas blends with pretty labels, and sometimes it's buy 4 get 4 free on ebay with free postage (their own website currently has offers on, but only free delivery over £20)

Thanks for this, I was just looking for some good quality oils and the ebay 4 for 4 deal is fantastic!

RainbowZebraWarrior · 30/11/2023 13:18

Here's the link to the Buy 4, get 4 free deal on essential oils with Aroma Energy via their eBay shop. (Free P&P)

They do standard, single oils which are listed in alpha order on the drop down menu (like Lavender or Frankincense) If you want the blends, scroll past all the singular oils and you will then see them listed as Christmas Eve, Christmas Cheer, Christmas Mountain for example. There are also Relaxing / Energising blends etc.

The candle set has gone down in price from a couple of days ago and some other bits reduced too (Tesco).

To the PP who was looking for gift ideas for her soon to be 4 year old, I thoroughly recommend the Mattel Disney Princess dolls. They are Barbie size & my DD who just turned 4 loves them. Prices on Amazon range from around £9-15 depending on the doll.

Also on Amazon, Catan which is frequently mentioned on here is on at £14.99 ATM.

mumonthehill · 30/11/2023 13:37

Thanks for the look fantastic box link. It has arrived and is lovely.

Encanto Mirabel Fashion Doll with Dress, Shoes and Glasses,25 cm amzn.eu/d/caCa1Qm Disney doll

Just saw this Encato doll on HUKD - Currently only £5 on Amazon so nabbed one for the local toy appeal.

Who wanted / needed another 25% off Tu? I just had an email about it now.

OkyDoke · 30/11/2023 14:32

Anyone think a discount on George Asda will be coming any time soon?

psuedocream3 · 30/11/2023 14:37

An update for anyone whos ordered from DisneyStore, they have a 10-14 working day delay processing orders at the moment ontop of delievery times for anyone else still not received their confirmations. Cutting it a bit fine for Christmas!

Anyone still struggling with Laithwaite’s website, please do give them a ring. They are very capable and were able to get my order and discount on in minutes.

I need to get my little girl (3, coming up to 4 nearly) some gifts from my mum, and wondered if anyone can tell me what was a big hit with theirs.

My mum doesn't want to get her any sylvanian stuff, and she already has a kitchen and market stall, along with lots of plushes.

Play doh?

Clucket87 · 30/11/2023 15:00

@NoWordForFluffy I had forgotten we all got Gary Barlow offers last year lol!

Anybody got any ideas for 25+ year olds nephew? Only want to spend about £10 but as they work in secondary schools, I don't want to do something like smelly's because they will smell the same as all the teenage kids lol.

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 30/11/2023 15:00

Thanks for the new thread @Reastie. It's taken me a while to catch up.

I think I'm almost done now. DH and I aren't getting each other much as we would like a holiday. Grin

RainbowZebraWarrior · 30/11/2023 15:02

Thanks for the heads up about the Bum Bumz. I had to go to Sainsbury's anyway for command hooks, so popped to Argos and ordered two sets (will also pay with points)
On the way out, I saw them at £6 each so 5 x for £6 is amazing. They are so cute!

This is the 7" ones (£8 each)

Beckafett · 30/11/2023 15:04

Thanks @toprump for the link, at the time couldn't get it for less then £14.99 with the voucher but never mind 😊

Thinking back to an old thread- did someone want a moana doll? I spent 15 mins earlier today searching for the kids advent calendars and came across a bag of Disney animator dolls that I'll re gift locally unless of use to anyone?
