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...

Thanks @PatChaunceysFruitCake - should have said sadly no HB near me

@WimbyAce

There’s these in Asda plus some slightly bigger for £4 each I think.

I got the Neom diffuser thing in TK Maxx last week for £50, so hoping it isn’t rubbish!

I've just realised I haven't got DS 15 his blooming advent, and I have about an hour to drag a sick toddler to any of the following tomorrow:

B&M, Home Bargains, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Lidl, Aldi.

He doesn't want a food one, he wants one with "stuff." Last year, great success, was the Lynx one.

Has anyone seen anything suitable, non edible wise, from any of those?

Thank you!

Delurking to say how much I appreciate these threads, they've given me so many ideas and saved me a lot of money. I think I saw something a few threads ago where you could buy fossils or ammonites to break into. I didn't think I needed something like that at the time but now I do and I can't find it! Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

@ThisHouseWillBeTheDeathOfMe do you have prime? There are a few there with delivery by 1st Dec, there’s a men’s grooming one and a couple of others

LittleMousewithcloggson · 29/11/2023 22:11

Still some good Black Friday deals at House of Fraser (for about another hour!)
Especially sports trainers, hoodies and beauty

Ooo these are cute too! Thank you, everyone is so helpful on here 😀

If you can order tonight Matalan had 20% off dining but it ends tonight

A few Design a Friend bits on sale on Argos including the house down to £33!

I'd love to get this for my daughter but we just don't have the space unfortunately

poignant · 29/11/2023 22:19

I have befitted from the glitches mentioned here. Dh and I have sock calendars. Entertainer squishmallow glitch with glitching birthday code. And finally the Argos £7 off £75 voucher code that stacked. I did two orders were 9 codes and another with 8codes stacked.

poignant · 29/11/2023 22:21

@ThisHouseWillBeTheDeathOfMe I think at least Tesco has Lego advent calendars. Ds13 has Lego Star Wars calendar.

@RainbowZebraWarrior I bought the neom diffuser but didn't open & use it until a few months ago & it wouldn't recharge. I'm in an ongoing email relay with them & they want video of me trying to charge the unit with their crappy mini usb charger which should binned as I said it wasn't working. It's exhausting, have sent my bank statement as they wanted order number etc to make sure it was in warranty -surely they could check their records. I LOVED the mini diffuser but can't be arsed with this & just seems it's a crappy product with crappy excuses . Even worse I bought 2 & can't remember who I gifted one to but really hope it has t also broke & I suspect it has, or that person would be raving about it.

Will buy another of the aromatherapy associates atomisers which are fab. Their oil blends are nicer tko

@WimbyAce these are the Sainsburys ones. I didn't see the other two but have a sprout and a deer hidden in the loft and they're very cute.

Is it not a tree rather than a sprout? It looks like it has a star on the top and baubles all over it. It's the kind of thing I say in front of my family and then get teased about every year when they come back out so want to save you from that 😂

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

Tesco had 20% off homeware with clubcard yesterday. Any good?

User1775 · 29/11/2023 22:33

@RJnomore1 thanks so much!! Has anyone used this site? No TP reviews 😬

SleeptightDaisy · 29/11/2023 22:33

1ltr Baileys is back down £10 with Nectar at Sainsbury's.

Mario Booster for the switch is down to £15 at Argos. This morning I returned the one I collected on Monday where I'd paid £22.50 and this afternoon collected the one I bought at £14.99
🤣 I don't spend all day in sainsburys but there is one one next to where I leave the car for the day

So frustrated I've missed out on some Black Friday bargains. Really need to get my A into G.

Sorry on the scrounge for more ideas.

Anything to add to a family gift hamper thing. So far got board game, bottle for the adults, naked marshmallow set.

Also, anything for girls age 13 and 15 around the £10 mark. 15 year old is very much a tomboy.

Marks and Spencer are doing nice looking snack tins there's two kinds. Has sweets, chocolate covered popcorn, pretzels, choc pretzels. I think they were around £10 but I'm hoping they might go on offer in this years advent calendar thing in their rewards

Edited to say I googled 'marks and spencer jolly elf tin' to try to find an image, and found people are selling them for inflated prices on ebay!! If you google the same you will see the contents

ChristmasJumperz · 29/11/2023 22:58

Also, how about a funny calendar? I've gifted one last year of dogs doing daft things that made everyone laugh

Anybody else not had any shipping email from White Fox? Order placed 20th Nov and order still marked as unfulfilled!

No shipping email yet here either, ordered on the 19th 😬

IDontKnowWhatYouMean · 29/11/2023 23:01

@buckeejit
My rechargeable Neom diffuser was also faulty, think it’s a common issue/design fault where the recharging port is not secure in the housing so the cable can’t make a proper connection. I had bought mine from Look Fantastic, I did have to send a video of the fault but once I’d done that they refunded straight away.
