I'm looking for a hair care set for my niece....something with styling products in. Has anybody got any ideas. I've looked online but not really seen anything. Budget about £30.

MrsChristiesChristmasCake · 02/12/2023 11:57

@beetr00 Thanks! I love the look of the wall tapestries 😊

@Houseofsardines Thanks for the ideas! Do you have a link for a colouring book? I had a look on Amazon and could only see one for 3+ which might be a bit basic! I'll definitely check out the sweets 😊

@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)

They definitely did. I bought one in store at Harvey Nics Leeds not too long back

Thank you for the stocking filler ideas bubbles is definitely a good idea. I was going to wrap some of my toddlers baby toys for the baby but she found them in the drawer last week. Probably won't know the difference I guess though still anyway!

MerylSqueak · 02/12/2023 12:30

Thank you @Outforlunchallday and @fishfingersandchipsagain

Thank you @recklessgran and @Houseofsardines , fab ideas!!
I'm thinking now of the lovely Cornish gins that pp linked for friends and def going to get one of those beer books for dh thank you!
if anybody else had any ideas I’d be super grateful!
I bought him a brew your own beer experience at brew club in Hackney a few ye at a who which was amazing but it’s permanently closed and looking at others, they are super expensive!!

if anyone has an Amex card, don’t forget their shop local offer today and tomorrow, register and get £5 back on a £15 spend up to 3 times!

Ive been a long time lurker but wanted to say thank you for the sharing. Ive bought a Toast'd smores kits to have when we have a walk out with cousins over Christmas.

Purchased the love hearts for stocking gifts.

Saved loads on a Yoto that I was planning to buy with The Little Find codes (thank you).

L'Occitane and Emma Bridgewater BF sales have been great for gifts for SIL who is a big fan.

I love a bargain but definitely need to remember it is only that if it is something I was going to buy anyway!!

Stripedfluffysocks · 02/12/2023 12:51

Can anyone please help with a discount code for The White Company - I’ve to buy something online today and can’t get any to work 😖🤶

Just for info - I ordered 2 (inc the free one) Fahlo braclets on 28th Nov quite late in the evening - both have just been delivered from a UK address via Royal Mail Tracked 48 so the postage I paid seems about right however for those in Scotland I'm not sure why they would be charging you so much when they are being dispatched from the UK.

I ordered 9pm 27th November to a uk address and I'm still waiting for dispatch! It's annoying as I need to gift them this Monday. I shall be cancelling and dashing to the shops tomorrow

For someone asking about spiced gin,
I highly recommend Bathtub
It has an orange flavour with gentle spiced notes

ArthurChristmas22 · 02/12/2023 15:09

Starting to decorate and have had a 🙈 moment. Can anyone recommend stocking holders? We love in a beautiful old house (trying to renovate) and I dream of all the stockings by the fire. But we bought some last year and they weren't heavy enough even with empty stockings. Anybody have any that work!

Thank you.
I'd just emailed to ask them about my order as I placed 2 orders and the second order had arrived but not the first.
Just pressed send and my emails updated to show a dispatch email from them for my first order!
At least it's on its way now.
I thought they might come with a little bag or something to gift them in, but no.
Still a lovely idea though and I'm sure I have some organza bags somewhere I can use!
Thanks to the person who found the code!

ArthurChristmas22 · 02/12/2023 15:42

Can't remember who was asking, but have been RL shopping. Dunelm have HUGE amounts of bedding, some very cheap. They also have some great offers on cutlery and crockery for whoever was after that (big reduced student sets in mine that were just white so would be great Xmas add-ons).

B&M was a total disappointment. So I am still looking for cheap stocking fillers, especially for boys and DH. And,.I forgot the wax burner 🤦‍♀️

shinny · 02/12/2023 15:49

Are there any Adidas codes floating about please? Expensive shoes have just been requested…. Thanks

clpsmum · 02/12/2023 15:49

Looking for an Argos code if anyone has one they can spare

yoshiblue · 02/12/2023 16:00

@Ilovepugs2017 my DS 10 has ADHD. I got a few fidget toys and a great bouncy ball from Smyths. Then things like a small Lego set, card games/book, Xmas themed sweets. I've done Pokémon cards in the past, what about a gaming currency voucher like Robux?

Igglepiggleandhisboat · 02/12/2023 16:11

I’m sure someone was looking for chocolate frogs? I’ve just seen an advert for some on Amazon x
