Thank you so much!
I will be buying early. I am on the other side of the country, so won't be able to get the bargains.
The birthday cards are beautiful, like water colour paintings and I had 20 on special offer - worked out at £1 each and no postage.
Hoping for some special Christmas cards.

My £20 beauty box arrived today and I'm so disappointed. It can with 6/7 things one was a small hand gel which had leaked in the box, another full size produce had the wrapped half peeling off and looked battered. The box just doesn't look luxury or anything I could give as gifts

I suspected that box would be rubbish. If you decide to try another at any point, I would highly recommend the Bridal Beauty mystery/charity boxes. I've never had a bad one, always packed full of lovely full size products with really high RRP's

@workworkwork123 . I ordered 2 boxes, if they're not what I expected with a few good products in them..then I'm going to send em back!

Anyone have any garden swing recommendations (ideally wooden)? Nothing on marketplace etc atm locally. Dd starts school on her birthday, so need to pull this one out of the bag!

StopInhalingRevels · 07/07/2024 12:29

Are there any deals left on Claire's accessories?

I know there are reduced plum garden sets at Selfridges at the moment, but haven’t remotely shopped around so may not be an especially good bargain

Flubadubba · 07/07/2024 13:00

Thanks @Famousthehero . Looks like there isn't anything better than Robert Dyas atm - £105 for a single wooden Plum swing.

I'm going to return it I think out of principle it's nothing like advertised

Outdoor toyshave lots of good deals that I keep being tempted by!

Cute stocking filler fimo set for £3.82 on amazon. There is another cheaper one but this whale is cuter.

For dinosaur/Jurassic World fans this T-Rex is huge - over 3 foot long! Reduced from £80 to £26.25.

Perfect for my 5 year old!

I'm not buying this as we have the Indominus Rex which is the same size and it is the bane of my life as it is so bloody big. BUT my children do love it. Anyone else wanting Jurassic World dinos this is a great price but also keep a look out on FB Marketplace as they are often on there when people get fed up of looking at them and tripping over them.

@StopInhalingRevels i was in an IRL matalan today and lots of their Claire’s bits were 50% off

Our IRL store was still 5 for £10 on sale (not much decent left) and buy 3 get 3 on (most) full price stuff yesterday.

ruralwanderer · 07/07/2024 17:18

There were giant squishmallow-esque toys in my local Home Sense today for £9.99 of anyone's still after one - the toadstool was quite cool.

Ahhh, this would support the absolute zilch I can find on the website. Everything decent states "in store only"

Flubadubba · 07/07/2024 17:41

@StopInhalingRevels yeah. Just the dregs, really. I got some great bargains a few weeks back (including Squishmallows as part of the 5 for 10!)

JustCantBeBothered · 07/07/2024 20:36

Thank you for the whistlefish tip. Got 20x cards for the next years birthdays, 2 x gift tins 2 X tote bags which I will use to make up selection gifts (cake, beer etc), and a gift bag for £26 delivered and went through topcashback for 4.2% - every penny counts

Really grateful thank you 🙏🏾

Am on the lookout this year for hot wheels and super mario as a priority.

Will keep posting any deals I find ☺️

Thank you for bumping this. Just ordered one!

Jimmyneutronsforehead · 07/07/2024 20:53

Also I recommend the black friday app to everyone. It's run by hot UK deals.

I got it a few years ago and it's just updated all year round anyway.

LittleMousewithcloggson · 07/07/2024 22:39
