Thread 3 - The one with the unhinged crab 🦀

[Reastie]

I certainly don't want an unhinged crab for Christmas

I ordered the Future Renew without knowing anything about it because I am such a bargain-hunting 🐑

I am glad to hear that people like it so hopefully it will work for me.

I bought Future Renew in store with a No7 consultant and she advised 40+!

I’ve found the descriptions of each range here www.boots.com/no7-inspiration-and-advice/discover-your-perfect-no7-regime

20-35 Early Defence
30-45 Protect and Perfect
45-60 Lift and Luminate
60+ Restore and Renew

Off to make my basket now! Code BEAUTY20 https://www.no7beauty.co.uk/offers/your-everyday-skincare-routine.list Thank you @Restlessinthenorth for the heads up and @Justhereforthechristmasthreads for the code!

@CrimboPourLesKids - that was very sensible of you - thanks for the info!

I just bought the most expensive items - 🙈although, tbf, I did read some of the reviews first!

Thanks also to @Restlessinthenorth and @Justhereforthechristmasthreads

Terrys Chocolate Orange Baileys is on offer at Sainsbury’s down to £11. www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/baileys-x-terry’s-chocolate-orange-irish-cream-liqueur-17-vol-50cl

My daughter (11) would like a few bracelets to stack. I’ve bought some from Estella Bartlett in the past which have been nice but need some smaller that will not be too loose on a child’s wrist. Can anyone recommend somewhere that does these please 🙏

Ooh I was going to ask if anyone has tried this, but I see it's new. I make my own Terry's chocolate orange liquer usually, but I might have to try this! Thanks

Thanks to the poster who recommended the b&h ghastly potions bath set on sale at Boots. Collected today alongside a load of sale shower gels and soaps etc so that’s my nephew and work sorted!

@Famoustheherothanks for the football colouring book. Ordered to go with the posca pens I got for my DD. Perfect.

@Mytribeof3 I got some beaded stretch bracelets last year from an Etsy seller that came in different sizes - the smallest was 15cm so that might work for your DD??
it was EmmaBDesignsShop on etsy

I <may> have 3 in my basket for Tuesday's delivery! 😋

Can anyone link the referral board for the no7 referral code? Thanks

Hiya can you link the referral board please for the no7 referral code? I can't seem to find it

For Boots bundle buyers looking for the best bargains, some of the prices can be misleading. When you get to the night cream section, in Future Renew you can have 50 ml of Night Cream, normally £37.95, or 25ml of Night Serum, normally £39.95.

The serum looks to have the greatest saving. However, on the main Boots website, in addition to 25ml for £39.95, 50ml of Night Serum is £49.95, which proportionately would make 25ml just under £25.

(There are several offers on No7 at Boots, but I haven’t found one as good as this one on the No7beauty website)

Here’s the direct link again. You also want the BEAUTY20 code at checkout. Thank you again to @Restlessinthenorth for letting us know about the offer.

I've got from bohomoon, filtering to just show small ones. They have 3for 2 on at the minute but the deals seem to change quite often so a better one might come along. They also have mystery bags of 3 for £20 if she's not mega fussy but they might not be as co-ordinated as she'd like.

I wear a few Joma Jewellery bracelets that I stack, they do a children's range too so have smaller elastic.
There's loads of different designs to choose from and they come really nicely packaged too, you can get cracker shaped etc.

The referral discount doesn’t work in the bundle. But here is the referral thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5212180-bargain-referrals-thread-7?page=26&reply=147266299

Can anyone find a good deal for Nike Pro shorts for a girl aged 9-10? £14 so far in Sports Dorect but none of that size in stock. Checked in store too.

Could anyone recommend where to look for weighted blankets? It's for young teens, I've seen mixed reviews for OHS and not sure where else to look.
Thanks!

My Unhinged Crabs have just arrived from Tik Tok and they seem to be fine and will do the job just as well as the more expensive ones. I'm quite happy with them, and they make a fun stocking filler.
Also collected my Asda Heated Throw which seems great and will a present for my 90 year old neighbour.

£11 here but only on two colours the rest are more expensive https://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/brand/nike/pro-shorts-junior-girls-478046#colcode=47804641

Lidl has them in the middle aisle at the moment

I misread that as cat paw warmers. I’m always looking for interesting gifts for dcats but that’s probably a step to far!

@SuitablyScolded I always buy my swimsuits from Decathlon however I’ve just tried to link and and there’s a problem with the site. I swim 2-3 times a week and machine wash them (which I know I shouldn’t) and they still wear very well. I like their boyleg one piece tankini’s.

Looks pretty much identical to my “official” on from 10ish years ago (I think there was some discussion of the TikTok ones being cheap knock offs).

I brought one on John Lewis for myself recently but it wasn’t cheap
