Thread 15 - the one with turkey delight

[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.

A reminder not to post affiliate links in the thread but that MN do change amazon links shared by posters into MN affiliate links.

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

@IDontDrinkTea also recommend Solace jewellery. A good family company, the earrings are affordable as they aren’t solid gold but are hypoallergenic. They don’t make my ears itch, wear the in shower etc. Def have dainty hoops on the site. I buy them for DN who seems to have sensitive ears

I would expect they would put them back into stock rather than letting you rebuy them straight away.

You could look to see if there are any in store, buy them first, and then take the originals back with original receipt.

@coolpattern the heatpress is just a giant iron! What is he planning to transfer on to the tshirts? This is the key. It depends what sort of thing he wants to do. I use heat transfer vinyl which is easy for single colour but a bit of a faff if you want to do multiple colours as you have to cut each colours separately then put them together. You can buy printers to produce photo like pictures to transfer but they are quite pricy. Or you can upload designs for a transfer sheet to be printed and sent to you.

Lots of options - have a look here and ask him what he wants to do as that will dictate what he needs. https://printify.com/blog/how-to-make-shirts-at-home/

i don’t think they will, I tried to do it at Tesco when they had 25% off and they were having none of it. I had to return the items then go and find the same items on the rails (luckily they had everything I wanted in stock!)

Sorry was that in response to @Magik01

Thank you so much for all the ideas so far. It’s so tricky buying for people you don’t really know that well

@moonbabyandthebeast I think we might need to 🤣

So I checked my Saville Row men's slippers posted on the last thread as someone had received some in not great quality (glue on the outer and stitching coming away).

Mine had no visible faults but must say feel rather flimsy. Not luxurious quality as expected for such a high end brand.

Worth £13.50 but no more imo. Wonder if they were made for the purpose of selling off cheap... 🤔

Exit the games were mentioned previously. There were a number of different ones in Lidl this evening. Would be £5 with the 50% middle aisle discount

Primark and Dunelm have a good selection

Hi can anyone recommend where to buy good value bean bags?

@Eaglefree not sure if you want a regular sized one or a giant one but these are lovely!

Does anyone have any ideas for a 4 year old boy. Likes Spiderman, Hulk, dinosaurs, sharks. Maybe a nice book? Omim absolutely stumped!

@RainbowZebraWarrior I really like the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust for animal adoptions, they raise orphaned elephants and rhinos in Kenya and the updates and photos they send are just lovely.

I got one in Tk maxx. I feel the same. Has to be a proper mug!

This sounds exactly like my DS! He enjoyed this Sharks book that he got for his bday, it has a little cardboard torch that reveals things in the pictures.
Otherwise he likes any books with marvel characters, there are lots of simple origin stories around, he likes to look at the pictures.

Snipping took a good idea, thanks

Unfortunately he has several wine collars gathering dust in the cupboard

Does anyone know where I can easily find a few light up bouncy balls on the high st so I don‘t have to do a big order from Baker Ross?

They are on a lightning deal and they have an extra 40% off voucher to apply

@Justhereforthechristmasthreads I think the refund is automatic but isn't instantaneous. There was a time period over which they would check and then pay back as required to the lowest price/biggest refund.

@Ewock thank you, it was me! I ordered from Dibor based on a link that someone sent me to some on Etsy all from that store. My cast iron train is arriving tomorrow, but I'll keep Primark in mind if that doesn't work!

Lulling myself into thinking I've finished whilst knowing I haven't wrapped DS Birthday presents for his Dec bday this week. At which point, all the piles disappear again 😂 (or my DSIS, DM, DP......) December birthdays, just have to love them!

@Justhereforthechristmasthreads

@Hipponimous I have a thermocafe mug - had a normal handle and shape but is a thermal mug. If he wants a normal mug, you can buy mug covers, either ceramic or silicon work well!
