Thread 13 - the one with the loot from Black Friday | Mumsnet

13 - unlucky for some. Let's hope it's very lucky for us! I bought a couple of things in the Black Friday sales - an amazon stick (I'm pretty sure we...

Checking in

Much more organised than I have been in previous years and likely now to skim this thread for any deals for myself.

Could do with some thermals and super warm socks is anyone can recommend please.

Landsend have thermals. I ordered, yet to arrive, but look lovely quality in the online pics. 50% off everything the other day- hope it's still on for you.

@MammaGnomes of course. Excuse the little fingers ready to pounce and claim some products for themselves.

Looks like you got exactly the same contents as me (I also had the 5 boxes).
@MammaGnomes When I placed my order a code popped up EXTRA10 for another 10% off, whether that is still valid or not I’m unsure but worth a try

Thelifeofawife · 29/11/2023 16:20

Also @MammaGnomes just to mention that some of the gift boxes say “perfectly imperfect” on the front - they are good as they have a little mirror inside the lid, but it depends how you feel about the slogan if gifting to your nieces

MammaGnomes · 29/11/2023 16:20

Thanks @Passthecoffee & @Thelifeofawife I just really can't decide whether they would appreciate them or not

Thelifeofawife · 29/11/2023 16:22

@MammaGnomes Definitely! I have got for my DN’s. If they are in to beauty/make up they will be happy with them. And it looks much more expensive than it is. I’ve done as a double up so they get 10 items each, but 5 in the box looks sufficient with the way they are packaged

Has anyone who bought the claw machine from Temu actually tried it? I set it all up last night, and much like the real things, couldn't actually pick anything up with it! I got it free, so I'm not overly disappointed, but I can't really give it to my children if they won't be able to get a prize, the frustration levels would be immense!

I really need to try mine too 😬

Hoping someone can help about £10 secret Santa work gift for someone who likes cars/rock metal music/gin/gaming or serial killers please! Thanks

I have a £7 off £75, Argos voucher if anyone is still looking for one, to be used by the 30th.

I asked on the other thread, but hoping someone can help please, has anyone had any experience of the e-bikes from Amazon? Bikes in the £700 region.

Darkbutstarrynight · 29/11/2023 16:40

@Slater22 if you look on amazon there are serial killer adult activity books, trivia book top trump style games around that price. I only know as DD very into serial killers!!

Seasonofthewitches · 29/11/2023 17:11

Re Turkish Delight....
I know this is of no help to a lot of people ( 😅) but at London Bridge station there was a big stand /display/stall of lots of different flavours of Turkey Delight.

I managed to resist very easily (🤮🤢)....

But the massive Hotel Chocolate shop on the other hand ... 🥰!

@reastie nominating "Turkey Delight" for a future thread title 😂

Stelmosfire1 · 29/11/2023 17:32

I got exactly the same 5 glossyboxes and contents. I’m happy with them, decent variety and they looks nice x

Anyone seen any Turkish delight anywhere? I normally get my dad some but not having much luck!

@uncomfortablydumb53 @WimbyAce I picked up some in B&M the other day can’t remember how much but wasn’t more than a couple of quid!

Igglepiggleandhisboat · 29/11/2023 18:20

Is anyone having problems with Argos recently? Ordered two items recently. First one went missing so every time I went to collect they would say there’s an error and it’s not there before they realised that it was lost and cancelled it. Then it’s happening again with my next order! 🤦🏻‍♀️

PumpkinSpicedTea · 29/11/2023 18:24

@WimbyAce is it the chocolate Turkish delight or the traditional? If the latter they have boxes in Aldi.

Has anyone seen any deals on dinner plates? Ours are chipped and awful so we are buying them as a present to ourselves as we have my parents for Christmas this year. Money is very tight, which is why we are treating this as our present so as cheap as possible. Any recommendations? Thank you x

Ness1234 · 29/11/2023 18:32

Our local Aldi is selling Turkish Delight…

uncomfortablydumb53 · 29/11/2023 18:35

@MamaK19
Thank you! For some reason I always go to home bargains not B&M so I'll go in

Whenasuitcasejustwontdo · 29/11/2023 18:35

@Igglepiggleandhisboat We’ve bought individual plates from Morrisons and they’ve really lasted, not chipped and we get lots of compliments!
