When I looked into this I realised relaxed fit tshirts we have from womens section of Primark in size XS measured the same as the XL kids size on Netflix if that helps at all? I realise this only helps if you have a Primark XS to hand but thought it was worth a mention!

Father Christmas bought my nearly 5 month old things for weaning like nice bibs (we loved the Close pop in ones), melamine plates, a sippy cup, cutlery etc. Basically all the stuff we needed to buy anyway.

I saw this in Hobbycraft the other day - my 8 year old would love it: www.hobbycraft.co.uk/galt-sparkly-scrunchies/6692811000.html

Coming up at £15.99 for me annoyingly

I can't get it for £9.99 either unfortunately!

Hi. It's only coming down to £14.99 for me, am I doing something wrong? Thanks

Oh it seems it's not just me lol

£19.99 for me!

Thanks for the netflix shop tip off. Got DS a demon hunters tshirt. Went down to less than £10 from £25 with the discount. The 40% off tshirts automatically applied and I used FORTHEFANS code at checkout which seemed to stack.

Be careful of delivery fees. The first tshirt i tried to buy wanted £14 delivery, the one i got was £5 delivery. From what i can see there's no way to know how much delivery will be until you go through to checkout.

It's showing £19.99 for me. This happens a lot with amazon. Seems to be dynamic pricing so when enough people take advantage of the low price they put it up again fairly quickly.

Mine the same - I wonder if Riverford just has a weird way of showing the payment you've made and are just acknowledging that the order has been paid for, when they say "account credit". Mine says the same as yours and I have never used Riverford before so I can't have a credit.

Tiptree have an offer on their liqueurs, the 35cl bottles are £19.99 but you can get 3 for £29.99. Mini sets also included in the offer. I ordered some as gifts last year which went down well so have ordered again for this year.

Tiptree

This was showing as £19.99 on the first screen for me, but at checkout was £7.71, no delivery charge with Prime membership!

F&F 25% off all clothing started today until 29th.

Thank you so much I'm off to buy one.

sadly showing at £15.99 at checkout for me

Thank you to @ChristmasJumperz for the Netflix heads up!

I got DS2 a One Piece Hawaiian shirt for £21 plus £5 shipping. He's been reading the manga for about 8 years and h does own a few Hawaiian shirts so it seemed a perfect Christmas present for him.

The list price was £50, but there was 40% shirts plus the FORTHEFANS discount (which you do have to type in, it isn't automatically entered)

The 15% code for a subscribing to their newsletter sadly didn't stack, but a great bargain anyway!

Hearst magazines still have good housekeeping on 3 issues for £3. Currently showing as £6.80 on top cash back so if it tracks then you could end up £3.80 in profit!!

I agree with previous suggestions of weaning stuff and bath toys. Something else I found useful around that age or slightly after is a larger hooded towel, you can find some cute ones with animal designs etc

The essence vault have the buy one get one free offer back again. I missed it last time and wanted to mention it in case anyone else did too.

I am on the hunt for footsie-type slippers but for wide feet at a size 8. They're for a woman but she prefers a more roomy footsie-style slipper. Men's would be perfectly fine as she doesn't care about feminine design, but I can never seem to find them in men's departments.

This offer also works against 40% off x3 100ml bottles meaning you can get x6 100ml bottles for less than £45

Claire’s have got at 40-50% on almost everything in store - I got Nee Doh
cubes for £3.60, which are a must have for the kids I know.

How do you get the 40% off as well please/ it's not showing for me only the BOGOF offer. Thanks
