Thank you for all the geography recommendations- we have a couple of them but lots look great. It’s his birthday in January too so good to have lots of ideas

Hi all you amazing Christmas bargain hunters!
I would love a Christmas king size duvet set if anyone sees ones on their travels.
Thanks!

Last year I bought I couple of kits from Scrawlrbox around Black Friday when they reduced some of their previous kits to half price

Hand warmers on Amazon for £12.99 (a pair) - click on the 50% discount voucher

@ReindeerAndChristmasCheer l have just bought this from Asda George ,they had lots of duvet covers just in stock .
It's a bit young for me but it's gorgeous and in a king size so l thought if it's in a KS it's obviously meant for adults 😂

It says polyester but if it isn't a nice material then it will be going back pronto 😁

was looking forward to getting my Amazon haul order today but now it’s delayed! 😒 Hope it does come though! Can’t seem to get in touch with Amazon via live chat it’s been stuck on the getting help bit for the last half hour or so!

Not sure it is actually very tracked @hugsandpugs mine arrived with Royal Mail on Saturday and it still shows on the order page as expected today so fingers crossed it will still reach you

I got three crabs + shipping, for £9.89?

This Nutcracker bedlinen is polycotton, so might feel nicer, and is also available in king size.

Mine has been delayed!! I really hope it comes as it's all my stocking fillers for the whole family!

Does anyone know where I can get thick pyjamas?

Some funky things from Typo sale

fruit throw

lollipop light

pepsi cushion

banana umbrella

snowflake bottle

Seems this is an app (looks very much like part of the freeprints brand), think postage is £5.99 for the calendar but might be a good one for those difficult to buy for family members. Not done mine yet but will probably give it a go

My Haul order arrived a day early really happy with it £16!
2 pairs of gym leggings which are good thick material and pockets
2 pairs of wide leg jogging bottoms - gorgeous on and pockets! Great material
2 pairs of cargo style trackies for asd DS was worried about the material but super soft and he really likes the feel - for a few pounds it was worth trying will definitely buy more.
2 pairs of pj bottoms for dds again lovely material
and various other nik naks and stocking fillers
thanks again to the lovely poster who highlighted the stacking discounts

@ChristmasMad1 Cyberjammies have some lovely PJs in their sale

@ReindeerAndChristmasCheer Ulster Weavers have Christmas bedding in their sale - lots of styles and sizes

Hi I found this board last year and have just started buying for this year. There are so many helpful people here - thank you all! I wondered whether anyone knows if Lisa Angel tend to have a Black Friday sale as I’m after some things for my teen DD. Thank you

I think the bigger balls are less risky because they’re too big to get stuck in/enter the trachea. Anything over 4.4cm diameter is apparently safe (though I’m not sure the diameter of a £2 coin so no idea if the specific ball run mentioned would be a choking risk or not!)

I want an unhinged crab. Not crabs for Christmas.

Could you link for wide leg joggers please 🙏 xx

Our marks outlet had a few sets of Xmas bedding. I got a king-size brushed cotton set for £28

Apart from @hugsandpugs, has anyone else's Haul order been delayed??

Just hoping it does turn up, as I was bought in the 60% off sale!

I think I've seen mention on a thread in times gone by that you can "watch" prices somehow on an item on Amazon so know when to pounce ? Can someone explain to me please ? DS after an expensive wheel type thing for pc - not sure if it will get cheaper , thank you

Panic over! I contacted Amazon and they said it can still arrive but were very apologetic about the delay so said they will add a £10 gift card onto my account for the inconvenience 👏👌

Then I asked who the courier was she said an international company called SF ltd but did say sometimes they pass the delivery onto local couriers like Royal Mail evri etc! She sent me a tracking link and tracking number for SF Ltd but then about 10 mins later the parcel arrived with Royal Mail! 😄

Just opened my box and very happy with the items! I’ve attached some photos but managed to get :

2 bushcraft type bags, paracord, hat and belt for DH (he’s into military gear and bushcraft)

An iPhone case and manicure set for oldest DS as he’s forever stealing my nail clippers 😅🤣

A plastic storage tub for DD’s huge collection of earrings and a make up brush set.

For me I had an over the body shoulder bag (looks spacious) then a smaller one for like phone keys etc when I don’t want to take a big bag out! Oh and some shorts with pockets for walking the dogs! (Deffo could have sized down with these as they look roomy but went for. Offer based on the reviews)
& a skull ‘overthinker’ notebook which is really great quality!

Had it all for around £15 after the 60% discount so very happy! 😃

Mine has just arrived just posted an update here so there is a good chance yours will too 😃

Oh no, how long is it delayed by? Mines actually arrived now! Even though it said delayed 😅
