Looking for a book box set for an almost 2 year old please! Got the Paddington books bargain I saw on these threads last year!

Tryonemoretime · 17/07/2025 13:21

It's coming up as over £14 when I follow the link ....😬

Are Stanley cups still a thing?
The Stanley store on Amazon have lots at discount
there’s a 1.2l one for £27

Gunnersforthecup · 17/07/2025 16:20

What is the best coffee cup that

  • doesn't leak coffee over the cupholder in the car
  • doesn't spill coffee on your clothes as you walk
  • doesn't dribble coffee down your front as you drink it?

100% this one! I’ve got 2 now and they keep the drink hot for so long!

NotMeekNotObedient · 17/07/2025 16:51

Yes definitely Contigo. You can put it upside down in your bag and it won't leak. Sadly I tend to loose one a year but they are very sturdy 🙈😂. Tk Maxx often have them in.

Gunnersforthecup · 17/07/2025 17:10

Do all contigos have a straw or a spout? We don't have a dishwasher and I am sceptical about how those things could harbour germs.

Nope, neither. You sort of pop a bit of it up and drink through the hole. They do them in some supermarkets, you could have a look at the top before you buy. I’ve had mine for years and still love it.

Gunnersforthecup · 17/07/2025 17:39

Ah, I think that is what I meant by a spout. How do you get it clean?

ThisLuckyEagle · 17/07/2025 17:39

Cornish Sheepskin have £15 off with code NEW15

I tried it on a pair of fingerless gloves and worked fine and will be a nice Christmas present for my Aunt!

Postage is £4.95 though!

The sheepskin insoles are £15 on Celtic & co. I used the code a couple of years ago for £15 discount so I only paid the £4.95 postage. They wash in the machine really well.

White Fox have some hoodies on sale atm. I’ve just bought my 11 & 13yo some. I got XXS, my 11yos is very baggy but she loves it, my 13yo fits just right but she’s a small 13yo. I’ve got them an XS size each which I’ve put away till Christmas.

Thank you! Think I will go for an xs. She is also after a pink palm puff hoodie, the price knocked me over 😆

O mine got fake ones of those, one I bought on Amazon and I think the other shein. They were over them quickly. My 11yo is also messy, guaranteed to stain anything the first time she wears it, so I absolutely won’t spend £££ on things. I only bought the WF as was on sale. Even her school leavers hoody which is navy has paint all down it and she’s not even finished school yet 🤦‍♀️
