I haven’t received my chuckling Cheese order despite ordering it at 2pm on the 14th, so plenty of time from their cut off.

Merry Christmas all! I’m the only one awake in our house- hot flushes and can’t sleep!! Having a quiet cuppa before the excitement and chaos of the day. Hope you all have the best time. Thanks for all the loveliness on this thread. We’ve had the marshmallows, the white stuff advents and fenwicks hampers. Thanks to Reastie and big get well wishes to sideorderofchips.

Thanks for this year folks, white stuff advents, Piglets Pantry and Hot Diamonds stacking codes worked for me
looking forward to the sales and the posts continuing !

Sorry to hear about the cheese @Threeboysadogandacat - I hope you are able to contact them after Xmas and get some kind of apology/reimbursement🤞

Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄

Merry Christmas everyone. The Fahlo bracelets have been a big hit already. Thank you for all the brilliant ideas again this year.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Big hits here were the nasa dig sets for chips the youngest and his meccano

Middle chips was her Mr beast chocolate, prime bath bomb and qwertee t shirts

Chips the eldest is all about her cuddly rubber duck and perfume

Hope everyone has a lovely day

Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks to the poster who linked to the Japanese snack box on Amazon as it went down a storm. At only £15.99, I wanted to get another but unfortunately it's now out of stock.

Also, I got a fahlo shark bracelet each for me and DD. Mine is called Thor and he's swimming around off the coast of Cuba! Love it.

The DC have had a good stab at that Japanese snack box, my ceilings are covered in plastic chickens, there's a screaming goat somewhere, everyone's got Stranger Things socks, clean airpods and is covered in jewellery from Hot Diamonds and Fossil. Happy Christmas!

Off the top of my head, my family opened (or will be opening) the following from these threads and the prequels:

Japanese sweets
Lite Brite
FurReal pony mentioned a few times
Airpod cleaner
Osprey bag
Valnette diffusers
Christmas pine Books
Dumpster Diver game (DD, 4 loves this)
Laithwaites wine
Moet champagne
Pat McGrath black Friday bargains
Gruum baubles
Anker earbuds
Bookeez
Hexbugs and playground
Hexbug real bugs
Robot fish
Some ordinary skincare
A tike key finder
Anker battery pack

Merry Christmas all!

Merry Christmas! I know others like me have struggled with what to get pre or early teens so thought I would share some hitsincluding some from here

• glossy boxes
• hairdryer
• frozen ice cream plate
• blender

My mum loved her fossil purse so thank you whoever helped me stack the codes.
My best present was the case of wine from lauthwaites. I still can't believe that I got 12 bottles, 2 glasses and a wine rack for £63.

Thank you everybody.

My family all think I am the most amazing gift giver, not just because of the bargains but because of the ideas.

It's amazing how the ideas from here somehow end up being so personalised to the people I love.

God help me if I ever have to do Christmas without you!

Did anyone on here who ordered the free gruum lip bauble gift a couple of weeks back receive it with the wrong personalisation? Wondering who ended up with ny personalised ribbon as mine is definitely personalised but not with the right name 😂

Massive thank you from myself and my MiniBoo’s.

They all had a fab day, and were so happy with the gifts they’d asked for, and the surprise gifts from these threads (always a risk with my ND 3!) And that made me cry happy tears.

I’ve caused myself a mischief discomfort wise by daring to eat the yummy bits of the lunch I cooked - blinking gallbladder! But, now the pain’s lessened I feel it was worth it 😳

Lots of hits today from these posts so thank you!

Special thanks to whomever recommended the perfect size boxes for the Fahlo bracelets. I boxed them up and did them as name places for Christmas dinner and they went down a storm!

@fishfingersandchipsagain I have also had major kudos for my gift giving. I kept getting a ‘mum, how did you know???’ when they opened cool stuff that they didn’t ask for!

Yes this happened to me

Mine should have been merry Christmas (name beginning with C). Instead I got (B name) is best

Thanks to whoever posted about the personalised love hearts. I ordered them for all my nieces and nephews to wrap their Christmas money round.

They were all DELIGHTED with them.

Thanks. Sorry yours was wrong too. It's no big deal it was only a gift for me but we have emailed them as think hubby is worried I think he has another woman on the go 😂

Mine actually should gave had a B name on but hubby can't remember what wording he actually asked for 🙄 but definitely not the J name it came with.

Did anyone order an electric throw from Weekly Deals 4 Less that was posted on here back in November? I gave mine today and it caused much disappointment because it doesn't appear to heat up properly. Anyone else had a similar issue?

Fahlo bracelets were a big (surprise) hit this morning. DC1 (age 22) is worried their lion might eat DC3’s (age 17) giraffe though 🤣

Can't remember who suggested it but the Rocket from Amazon that makes real steam when it takes off was a big hit with DS6. Was a random addition but he totally loved it

That's was me- thanks!
Glad they loved them.
My order got cancelled; must have been a strange way of deciding who got them and who didn't!
Great idea to wrap the money around them- I must remember that!

The fahlo bracelets were a big hit here- thank you! (and thanks to who ever recommended the boxes too as they were perfect).
