My cheese from The Chuckling Cheese Company just arrived, Christmas is saved! Good luck to everyone else waiting!

Did someone post a £10 off for Claire’s? Can’t seem to find it now

I posted the code but asked for it to be removed as I reread my email and it said personal to me so thought I wouldn't work for anyone else. I hope its not too late but here it is £10 off claires, works with all current offers and discounts including the buy 3 get 3 free. CASH-ZD7HPD67S7 I hope it still works for you 😊

Ooh, I had forgotten that I also benefited from the Oliver Bonas offer and the Hobbycraft AND the True Face/5poundstuff Oodies, (the ones I got from there are definitely the genuine article).

Thanks so much to those who supplied those links and to all you other lovely posters!

I have finished my Xmas gift shopping and done my wrapping, (I actually enjoy doing this, even though I am rubbish at it!) However, I still need to do a quick dash to the shops for a bit more meat, some fruit, (I forgot the dates!!!) and mince pies, (as DH keeps eating them😱).

My Vera Tucci socks arrived, really good service and a good mix of styles and colours.Thank youtowhoever flagged that up.

Mine have just arrived too and I’m really pleased with them so I also want to say thank you to whoever posted about them.

Mine too! It was a stressful day yesterday refreshing the evri tracking but they somehow picked the parcel up at midnight and got it to me by 11am! Impressed with Evri but not so much chuckling cheese 😂 the actual gift boxes look great though!

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 23/12/2023 12:18

Chuckling cheese arrived here too, well done. They did promise and they pulled through. Looks good.
DD and I are going to brave real shops today. It's only a fun shop for anything we might fancy and so I don't mind that. Wonder if it will be super busy or not too bad? (Full of men starting their shopping I'm imagining)
Thanks to all for posting the things they find, I look forward to it every September even though I buy myself a fair few of these bargains. One year I want to find the bargain of the year.

PeoniesAreMyFavouriteFlower · 23/12/2023 12:28

Thanks for all the bargains posted - we’ve bought a few of them. I’ll check my Fahlo bracelets to make sure they’re the right animal.

I was feeling quite pleased with myself for having been organised enough to avoid the actual pre-Christmas shops mayhem, having booked the food shop in November - and Tesco have only gone and lost our turkey, so today will be spent trying to source another one from an alternative shop.

Boots sale is on ☺️

Thank you @SootspriteSearcher I used it to get a couple of things for pickup after Christmas. It still works.

I do wonder how they make any money because it took a £12 order down to £2 (but I don’t feel bad because they lost my last click and collect order and didn’t refund my voucher).

I'm so glad it worked for you! I do wonder aswell, although considering the jewellery quality is about the same as shein and temu it probably costs pennies to produce! I bet they base their profits on the offer prices so its a bonus anyone buying at full price (it's not worth spending full price as theres always an offer!)

Rubbish they lost your last order, im hoping mine is there as its a last minute Christmas present for my daughter!! 😬

fishfingersandchipsagain · 23/12/2023 13:31

Fingers crossed for you@SootspriteSearcher I hope they have it!

I just noticed a glitch on Claire’s in addition to the code. I decided to place another order to get a head start on next years birthdays. I ordered a total of 6 items, each around the £8-£10 mark, with the “buy 3 get 3 free” offer. 3 of the items were also 60% off. It’s given me the full price ones for free and only charged for the 60% off ones. So I paid about £12 for all 6 items.

FilthyforFirth · 23/12/2023 13:55

I ordered lots from the piglets pantry with the discount code. My grandparents loved their early xmas present and my boys just had their kids one.

It is brilliant! Code or not I'm going to order each Christmas, they have loved it!

Merry Christmas all :)

Fatface has a sale/further reductions.

The email said they’d send me a link with exclusive access from 1pm, and gave me a link to to set up a wish list in advance. However the sale prices I found by following the second link were just the same as when I’d visited (to set up the wish list) but then ordered over an hour earlier.

Dee1224 · 23/12/2023 13:59

@TulipVictory - thanks for the heads up re:Boots - I have just spent my points on some pressies for me! (Plus a gift set for DS February birthday.)

Dee1224 · 23/12/2023 14:04

Rituals, Neom, Clinique and Aromatherapy Associates have started their online sales. Limited reductions at EL.

GoatsareGOAT · 23/12/2023 14:06

Gravitrax add on ~£8.80 (seems to be fluctuating!)

Beckafett · 23/12/2023 14:21

Just remembered I have a 'missing parcel' of a fake oodie that I will now re order from somewhere for a Feb birthday. My wine order has just arrived from laithwaites thanks to this site so I feel like a proper grown up now!

Mine three! Some lovely thick, squishy, warm socks in there, really pleased!

captainflash · 23/12/2023 14:33

My Chuckling Cheese has just arrived too! Phew!!! Thought it was going to be sitting on my doorstep when we arrive back on Weds.
Contents look good and gift boxes are nice.
Stressful wait though!

Wow that looks so good. I'm glad you and your family got to enjoy it. I've not had a bad Piglet's yet.

Member212711 · 23/12/2023 14:40

@Singleandproud I've bought these before, on a similar offer. Bargain. And so so comfortable (immediately).

DingDongBella · 23/12/2023 14:53

Is there anywhere with the card game Mantis on sale. It’s £20 on Amazon which seems a bit steep but we played at a friends house and enjoyed so do want to get our own.

LoudestRoar · 23/12/2023 14:56

SOCCER03 ORDERS!
Please check before you wrap. I ordered a West Ham top, and was sent this instead...
