[Reastie]

Thanks @bizzey for the title

Hope all are well.

In message two are the links and info from last year - if anyone has anything they'd like me to amend or add, please do tag me and I'll update.

Please do watch the thread rather than post to mark place to make it easier for everyone to keep up and find relevant info.

Ah, my cashback has tracked but might not pay out. Only £2.40 so no biggie and for the zen garden it's around 90p so hopefully nobody buying that is relying on it!

Sadly mum doesn’t go online 😬. Last year I got her a magazine subscription to gardeners world which seemed to go down well.

I’m after an Xmas tree bag for a 7foot tree BUT it needs to be for a 10 foot really as I don’t take the decorations off
anyyone spotted aNy bargains ?

Just saw this on HotUKdeals if anyone is looking for stocking fillers for gamers. PlayStation pasta shapes
£2 and delivery in 1-3 weeks so might be a nail biter!

My dd is 11 and loves squishmallows, crystals, art sets like hama beads, loom bands, beads/string for bracelets. A big oodie type hoodie if they don't have one, primark had theirs reduced to £10. (I would go adult unless they are very petite). Alternatively a fleecy blankets (asda, primark, dunhelm are lovely and reasonable), hot water bottle.

She loves a lip balm and beauty sheet mask (superdrug and primark do animals/characters) and got very excited at a make up pouch/purse with her star sign on and loves things with her initial.

Stretchy chokers, novelty earrings, beaded/crystal bracelets also very popular! I've got her a jewellery box for Christmas.

I'm more or less finished but helping my sister out now! 😊 Does anyone know if Snag tights do any discounts? Are they the best for good quality cool (as in stylish) tights?

Does anyone know of any smashed grapes gift set vibe? They were brilliant value last year but their website isn’t working and I think they aren’t a going concern anymore!

I thought I was done but it seems not!

Please can all you lovely Christmas elves help. I need a black handbag suitable for a 16yo to use for school. Nothing left in her budget as I need a real bargain.

Thank you

Thanks to whoever mentioned the Heroes tubs being £3.89 at Tesco (with a clubcard). Went and stocked up today.

No food and alcohol not included. The choc santa was from the lidl app advent, today's door.

Sorry! Yes I used the app for all the extra bits, should have been more clear 🙈

Just had a card from royal mail saying they couldn't deliver my parcel as the sender hadn't paid enough postage ( had to pay £1.50). Only parcel I'm waiting for is Joe and Seph popcorn bundle . Has anyone else experienced this?

I've got a last minute secret Santa for £15. Guy likes good strong black tea and biscuits. Any ideas anyone?

@Starlin deans have good shortbread and other biscuits. Some offers on, and 10% off if you sign up to emails. Free delivery over £20

Having finished my shopping ages ago, I now have a buyagift cheese box and some packing cubes I don’t need winging their way here. Fortunately sadly the things I fancied from Boots are out of stock or they’d be coming too. Matalan has 30% off coats and boots (at least, I think it’s 30%)

A couple of years ago I bought dd a simple black handbag from primark and bought a funky strap for it from Amazon (rainbow strap), 3 years later and she’s still using it.

Thank you this is so helpful!! I got lost in the online world of squishmallows!!!

Not sure how cheap is cheap, but how about a Fish eye phone lens if he doesn’t have one already?

Have a look in Vinted lots of bags many brand new with tags - in our area River Island is a popular school bag choice - I got dd one for about £4.50 on Vinted

@Starlin I drink Earl grey, usually Twinings but not really fussed, then my brother got me some Teapigs tea and wooooow it was amazing 😍 I was so sad when the box ran out and I went back to my normal tea 😁

Looks like you can get 10% off for signing up to their newsletter so at least something off! 🙂

Thank you for this, unfortunately it looks like one he's already had which was too small for school

I think on the last thread someone was looking for a gift for a friend/family member going through chemo and aveena was recommended. They have 2 gift sets in sainsburys on offer with a nectar card. One is £15 and has body wash, moisturiser and handcream, the other is £12 for extra dry skin has an oil spray for v dry skin, moisturiser and hand cream. I bought the £12 one for myself as I get very dry skin in the winter and aveena is the best for it!

Aww I'm glad it helped! I do love the squishmallows and have a few myself 🤣

Anyone seen any offers on either under armour/base layers or power banks?

@Starlin if you go on Amazon they have these which are gorgeous - recommended to me a few threads ago, I bought 3 different lots
