Smyths currently have a 3 for 2 offer on board games

No sign of my Fahlo tracking bracelets either. I got an email confirmation but no text with a tracking number. 😒 running out of hope.

On the upside, I did snag some fab double-walled cappuccino and espresso glass tumbler thingies in the midl of Lidl yesterday that I can really recommend. They are Bodum dupes and were quite a lot left in my store. Think they were £7.99 for two for the cappuccino size but half price obvs. Also came as a three-pack. The espresso ones came as a four-pack.

I went real life lidl shopping for their 50% off the middle. A weird mix of stuff - great way to get rid of old stock.
I picked up a couple of small gifts for the kids at bargain prices, but nothing special. Was hoping for lego! I had to try hard not to buy for the sake of it, as it really is a good deal.

They have barbie, orchard games, gabbys dollhouse, kitchen items etc.

Ours was looted but from what I seen, most of it wouldn't interest mine so I feel OK with it. I don't want to buy just for the sake of it and rather pay more and get what they want than something that won't get used.

I did however get a minecraft and Peppa pig drinks bottle for 1.75, which even at 3.99 their full price is good. Then I got a little wooden vanity desk top toy for 9.99. But other half said he wouldn't have paid the full 19.99 for it.

Has anybody had trouble with Online Home Shop? Ordered 22.11 a changing robe as recommended on here. When look up Royal Mail website it’s say still waiting to receive it. Have emailed and still waiting for a response - had automatic response which says if you email again goes to bottom of pile!

Raindancer411 · 05/12/2023 13:01

@Redskyatwhatever Oh where was the cleaning clothes from please?

uncomfortablydumb53 · 05/12/2023 13:02

Sainsbury's have
BAiLEYS £10
GREEN & BLACKS MINI BOX £4.50
( nectar prices)

VegetablesFightingToReclaimTheAubergieneEmoji · 05/12/2023 13:04

im hoping this is reassuring although I appreciate it’s not that helpful. I bought the fahlo bracelets last year, they took a while to get to me. But they did get to me, and they were great and really really well received.

the irony of being able to track a shark in the sea, but not their parcels is not lost on me.

Hipponimous · 05/12/2023 13:07

Any deals on a good smoothie maker/blender under £50?

butterflymum · 05/12/2023 13:08

dancemom · 05/12/2023 11:59

Anyone any nice ideas for a small gift for a grandpa and one for a gran? Both from dd

They are moving house soon and need to downsize so not looking for any mugs or coasters or picture frames or "things" really.

No toiletries or clothing either.

TIA

A customised door number/house name sign?

VegetablesFightingToReclaimTheAubergieneEmoji · 05/12/2023 13:10

OneHornedFlyingPurplePeopleEater · 05/12/2023 12:10

I'm looking for the last few gifts, I have a vague idea for some but am looking for deals if anyones seen any (mostly ideas from here but I missed previous deals!):

Crimpit
Airpod cleaner
Lock picking kit

I'm also looking for something for my 18yo neice. £10-20 budget. I don't know her that well, I usually end up giving money for bdays but like a gift for Christmas.

Also 20yo neice who I do know well but still have no idea what to buy! She's not into makeup etc. Used to be so easy with craft stuff but she's older now and none of it seems grown up enough.

Any of the oodie type things any good?

ive done costa or greggs vouchers before.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 05/12/2023 13:10

BAILEYS IS £10 per LITRE btw

Any offers for giftcards for teenagers? Tried to get odeon 20% off at tesco, but it suddenly disappeared online

CanIPutTheTreeUpYet · 05/12/2023 13:33

@Slater22 I've mentally blacklisted OHS. Customer service is a shambles. Similar to another poster on here, I'd been sent someone else's parcel which they were quick to ask to be returned but when it came to returning the crap they'd sent me, it took just over a month to stop going around in circles with them. The quality is very low, I think they just buy cheap stuff from China and sell it on using different pictures because the bedding I ordered was see through, not as luxurious as the image showed. I just don't get the hype for them. Keep on at them, expect to repeat yourself every time a 'new person' asks you how they can help. I emailed them each morning and had a response around 2pm every other day.

@RainbowZebraWarrior I ordered a Fahlo bracelet before all the offers, from a UK company called Just Jonah. Chose exactly what I wanted and arrived very quickly (just in case you wanted to get one for your daughter)

You superstar! I have seen them being sold elsewhere, but often at £25. Just Jonah sell for the same price as Fahlo. Thank you so much.

CanIPutTheTreeUpYet · 05/12/2023 13:43

Can anyone else see the issue here? I appreciate Fahlo replied to my order cancellation request but... I'm not sure how they missed it... 😅 They must be busy and working in autopilot mode!

Df has just asked for some gloves for Christmas.... any ideas? He has large hands, sensitive skin. I'll need the ability to return if they aren’t ok.

Sealskin gloves are great and come in different sizes.

sorryiasked · 05/12/2023 14:01

@Yeknom B&M have it at £39.99 but Subject to stock availability in store.

Guessing they are totally overwhelmed, but i always think companies should update their websites / socials in these cases. Had a look at their Instagram account, and it's all a bit dreamy and meme-y. It reads like an individual's.

Hope you get sorted. I've ordered two bracelets from Just Jonah.

Justonedayatatime11 · 05/12/2023 14:07

A heads up to avoid Blakely clothing. Absolutely love their oversized hoodies and jumpers, but they happily took over £200 from me 10 days ago and since then I've heard nothing. Repeatedly emailed, tried to contact via social media and just total silence. So disappointed

LostMyLovelyLlama · 05/12/2023 14:08

To those that received a Fahlp despatch email, but no progress since, do check your actual order. I received a despatch email on Sunday, but the actual order says confirmed - awaiting despatch 😳 Might be that they are in the process and generated the postage and tracking number - but confusing nonetheless

TickleMyTitsTilFriday · 05/12/2023 14:08

I have also ordered the Fahlo brackets, 2 sets about a week apart. It seems when I track them that they have been stuck with Royal Mail for quite some time. Checking on different orders of mine that have also been due for a while I'm finding that it seems Royal Mail have them. I'm hoping they'll wing their way soon enough!

WimbyAce · 05/12/2023 14:09

Lakeland is still free delivery fyi.
Will see what's left in our Lidl tomorrow, was gonna make a special trip today for FOMO but managed to contain myself!

Redskyatwhatever · 05/12/2023 14:10

K@Raindancer411 the cloths were from Etsy the maker I brought from doesn’t seem to be on there anymore but if you search for personalised glasses cleaning cloths there are other folk. I thought it was cute.

Yeknom · 05/12/2023 14:11

Ah thanks @sorryiasked, unfortunately no B&M near here (always insanely jealous of peoples bargains from there!)
