Thread 14 - the one where we track our Fahlo turtles while snuggling under our heated blankets

Holding thread for @Reastie

See the second post on Thread 13 for the usual information.

Would you mind linking 🙏as I can’t find it.

You need to go to the one that comes up as £30 and then look at ‘other sellers’ on the page, where it shows as 12.99 on prime (with a longer delivery date.).

Thank you for this.

I suspect it's not worth it for a saving of £14, as much as it pains me to miss a discount 😅

Havana club 7 years dark rum can't be beaten in my eyes - currently on offer at sainsburys/nectar prices!

Thank you, I never would have managed that lol.
it states dispatch is 1 to 2 months though.

I know what you mean, she only likes a certain brand of secateurs so I wouldn't get those but think I could get away with a fancy trowel set 😊

Does anyone have stocking filler suggestions for a 10 week old and 19 month old? I don't want to spend much as obviously they're a bit young to understand really

Espresso martini hamper/gifts - has anyone seen anything good? I usually just buy a bottle of something for my bestie, but she's had the worst year. She says she misses going out for cocktails, she's pretty much chained to her house caring for her terminally ill mum right now.
She loves espresso martinis, so I was thinking a hamper relating to those would be fab for her to enjoy over the festive period. I've found one on hampers.com but it doesn't overwhelm me tbh. Any ideas?

Thanks! It didn't work unfortunately but I've ordered anyway. I ordered one of each but going to put them away and do one every so often with my son throughout the year. He's only six but loves drawing an it'll be a good opportunity to teach him about the artists to

I can’t link but it’s on the first page of the Christmas thread

Is the Fahlo deal finished? I ignored it completely, then realised they do shark bracelets. DD loves sharks and would be thrilled at the idea of tracking one.

I've not had any. Actually paid more that I could have 😥😥

Ah sorry, I think the Bonne Maman calendar must have gone back up in price quite quickly after I ordered and posted here. I had it in my basket and spotted the price was down, so I didn’t have to search for other sellers and it’s due to be delivered on Monday. These bargains change so quickly!

I know I'm a grouch but this is something which winds me up about this thread. People buy things with a discount just for the sake of it. They get a buzz out of getting a deal but they don't want it need it. Not specifically you just people in general.

Sorry carry on 😂😬

Thanks so much!

@BlackFlyChardonnay I was sure Harvey Nichols did a hat box one and I had looked at it for DH but it’s not there now.

if you google espresso martini gift set quite a lot come up, this is cute, (some are mix your own some are pre bottled so maybe worth thinking about which type she would prefer)

It must be this one then? I thought it was specifically a stocking fillers thread that was being referred to, but this one has some great ideas. Thanks 😊

I would just put things they need/already own in for the 10 week old (& only if 19month old needs to see them getting something)

19month old - bath toys are cheap but fun, bath crayons, board book, bubbles (if they'll be happy for them to be opened/blown by an adult!!), & not cheap but traditional here was a wooden animal from ostheimer (I have teens now & the animals are still beautiful after years of play)

baby stocking fillers - socks, toothbrush, chocolate for the older one, a squeaky toy, a bath toy?

I got a lovely cocktail hamper for my birthday. It was all the ingredients, little jam jar glasses, recipe cards and adornments do you want me to go see where it was from?

M&S do a cocktail hamper with tins of their pre-made cocktails?
Maybe add some nice glasses to drink them out of. Making a cocktail for yourself from scratch might be too much hassle. I’m lazy though!

@clpsmum yes please, if it isn't too much hassle!

Thanks for the fossil codes. I used them to buy my sister a watch for her 40th next year. A watch which should have been £129 full price has come down to around £19 (I added some earrings to get the two items for 50% off). Hope it comes 😊

Oh and cashback has tracked via TCB!

I've just completed my Christmas shopping and would like to thank everyone on these threads for their contributions, much appreciated.

Special thanks to the posters who provided Amazon links to the endoscope cameras, the bargain B&H men's gift sets, and the Erborian BB cream, plus the QVC Elemis set.

Now to avoid the Twitch...
