@bizzey looks like a good range of products! Did you get things that you have used previously and liked, or are they all new to you?

ps well done making them sensitive, I am still navigating my way around doing things on this site 😅

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!

a Christmas decoration from Disney store with a mug? Quite a lot on shop Disney at the moment.

Scented candle, I’d recommend bath and body works from Next or Neom.

Can't believe how much these have come down since they were first out at something like £50 - I said no to dc and now I'm wondering if I should buy him one.

I've just done party bags for the class! Amazon have some good bulk bundles of poppit toys like bracelets or keyrings. Also you can buy big packs of glo sticks and could split them up. There are multi packs of scratch art bookmarks on there too that I was tempted by.

Annahh · 30/11/2023 06:34

@Babynumberthreeee @Nzou1050
I think I have one I'll look now.

Will add on here though so be ready!

I can't dm on the app sorry.

recklessgran · 30/11/2023 07:06

@Wtafis for the party bags what about 24 fairy gliders on Amazon for £1.99 delivered - I'm not kidding! I ordered them as I'm doing DGD's stocking. I selected one of each of the four different designs for the stocking and gave the remaining 20 to one of my DD's who's an assistant head - she'll put them in the school rewards box.

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 😂

Yes, that's a tree on the pic. The sprout and deer memtioned are not pictured, slightly different and are part of the comic relief range. (But all on sale at Sainsbury's for £3.75 each) but yes, that's the sort of thing I'd do and DD would laugh about for ever more. It would probably be known as Sprouty Tree.

Gintime76 · 30/11/2023 07:08

I am just starting and have missed all the bargains! I need insporation please for 12 and 20 year old dds, they both are obsessed with moon and stars. Younger dd has just started experimenting with older sisters make up. Both like baking, hunger games, reading.
Also my 70 yr old DM who has everything!

sycamorescrumptious · 30/11/2023 07:15

Quidco has a £10 tipple bonus opt in for anyone ordering from laithwaites/master of malt etc.

redjoker · 30/11/2023 07:18

Managed to get my real Xmas tree for chopping up for 15 quid from aldi. Now just need to make the effort to actually chop it and do it!

Have finished all of my Xmas shopping and marked all columns green on my spreadsheet. (!)

So will probably lurk for a while now whilst scoffing my Laithwaites hotel chocolate hamper

Can someone please wrap for me?!

Thanks for the threads again guys. It gives me a but of headspace and helps me get in the mood for xmas. Flowers

Was £20 in the end in the Sains toy sale as I picked one up when they kept reducing. Bit of fun I think.
