Amazon Haul has 70% off everything until the 17th. It is like shein/ temu etc though they claim products are checked to be safe. I can only seem to access through the app on my phone- didn't work at all on iPad and it is in beta so maybe you need to use the app.

I wouldn't buy toys or clothes or things, but have bought some stocking fillers (pin badges, sew on badges, ribbon, nice shaped paper clips and hair ties and stickers). I spent a bit over £50 the other day which got another 10% off so it came to something like £18. I've ordered there already it it was fine, though a limited selection. Worth a look.

Thanks that’s very cute actually but delivery is too long

@cuwins what about a good luck duck keyring, they're cute, and could be really appropriate or the socks could work or there's a journal with rubber ducks on the cover Amazon.co.uk : rubber duck gifts https://share.google/rV1I7cPrZwNM6d4lr

Thank you I love the socks but not sure ‘what the duck’ is an appropriate slogan from a 3 year old! Keyring is a good idea

Hi @Famousthehero - thanks for the link. How were you getting the two for £20? It’s only showing me full price.

Thanks

Thanks

Edited

It’s showing as full price for me but if you add two to your basket and checkout it reduces to £20!

IlovePond · 09/08/2025 13:55

Thanks @ThisLuckyEagle Did you add two the same?

Just tried - still not working- shame as I have wanted one of these for a while and number two would make a good present 😿

@DressOrSkirt I know you can’t do a gift message but I’ve just got a PLouise parcel and it’s in a lovely box inside a plastic post bag and no invoice was included, just in case that helps at all.

IlovePond · 09/08/2025 14:42

I am @ThisLuckyEagle - it’s a mystery!

Thanks, anyway x

Thank you for the Amazon link! I got 2 of the lego cats (absolute bargain) and 2 other sets too to pop away for christmas.

Re the Gin Making Kit
The juniper berries can be replaced and the boxes are easily opened. I have bought more berries so that these kits can still be used.'
I know Amazon gave a refund, but it seemed such a waste.

TongueTwister1975 · 10/08/2025 10:09

Lots of childrens books on Amazon reduced to £2. Ive bought the two Superpoop books for my DS, Santa and his elves always leave a silly book!

Ive also noticed a lilo and stitch colouring book down to £1 on Amazon.

LittleRedYoshi · 10/08/2025 17:01

Several of the Sticker Dolly Dressing books are a good price on Amazon at the moment. I'm getting an error trying to post the links, but:

Little Sticker Dolly Dressing Christmas - £3

Sticker Dolly Dressing Fancy Dress - £4

Sticker Dolly Dressing Summer Camp - £4 (be warned, it looks like it's staple bound instead of the normal paperback)

Sticker Dolly Dressing School Dance - £4 (also staple-bound)

Everyone, do m&s ever do any homeware sales?

I want to buy Kelly Hoppen Textured plates, glasses, tumblers etc, to have at Christmas

The glasses are £25 for four, super pricey

Do they do black friday or end of summer sales on homeware? x

IlovePond · 10/08/2025 17:18

@youreactinglikeafunmum M&S have -to date - refused to participate in BF.

They usually reduce some homeware - but not all by any means - in the winter/summer sales. However, M&S in my area, (several shops), have responded to their recent problems by having a summer sale that was just a couple of rails of tat in the clothes department and one shelf of equal tat in homeware. I believe other areas have had better sales, but I wouldn’t hold your breath for specific items being reduced.

Pre- crisis, they used to have pretty regular Sparks offers - e.g. 20% off homeware, but I have had absolutely nothing for months now! I would be interested to know if anyone on here is getting any Sparks offers, or if it’s just me being left out 😿

If you have an M&S outlet near you, there’s an outside chance that might have what you’re looking for with some kind of discount.
