If you look at somewhere like Maqio they have loads of 50/60/70% off Playmobile, but I don't know if its current catalogue stuff

Amazon and eBay (U.K.) have to comply with safety standards.
temu, shein, alieexpress etc don’t. So it’s best not to risk them for things for your children or gifts

Just done an order with sunshine lane via superseconds too! The woman who owns the small business is absolutely lovely! I won free shipping on the spin the wheel on the website but it wouldn’t apply so I emailed, she got back to me super quick and gave me another free shipping code to try and said if that didn’t work she would refund the postage for me!

theyve got some lovely items on there, I ordered a weird is wonderful mug, an art print and a coaster! ❤️

Was in Morrisons earlier and they have their toy sale on, q a bit of Barbie stuff.
Also they were selling Stitch mini sofas, they now have similar but Bluey.

Sorry if this has already been posted as I’m quite behind but I found some of last years cream Xmas pyjamas in the kids sale for anyone who had these matching sets. Only £2 a pair!!

Have a look at DJM Music. I used them when my children needed first instruments 20+ years ago (guitar and cello) and was very happy.
They also supply schools.

Lovely pyjamas but sadly all out of stock when size clicked on.

I just remembered one of my last-minute but favourite stocking fillers from last year, which was super cheap. After someone posted about it on these threads, I ordered personalised glasses cleaning wipes from the company linked below for grandparents and others which were printed with the photo of my choice.

Using the discount code RMULTI20 takes 20% off when there is more than one item in your cart, so they come down to only £2 each which is brilliant for a personalised photo gift.

Postage last year was only 99p but looks like they’re possibly offering free postage now too.

Which site are you looking at? There is one where you get a free pair of earrings (which they choose) if you spend over £15, but I don’t know if it’s the one you mean.

General tip: SUPERSECONDS can be a useful code on quite a few of their makers’ sites.

Edit: did you mean NJDoes Clay? If so, I only know what was in the banner at the top of the page, see I’ll put it in my next post as a screenshot: editing doesn’t seem to allow adding picture.

Just had a look at old emails and Sainsburys did 25% off Tu clothing in the middle of November 2023, so might be worth holding fire if you won't be disappointed to miss out. Or you could buy them in a couple of weeks if they still offer their 30 day refund policy?
I'd ordered pyjamas for click and collect into store and when I went to collect them realised that they had 25% off so went home and re-ordered. Just took the first order back when I collected the second! Saved £9 on the two pairs I wanted (and didn't make a special trip to get them).

Does anyone know if Micro Scooters have a sale for black Friday? Or discounts please?

Sainsbury’s had 20% of TU clothing end of October last year. I bought some Xmas pjs when they were reduced and it was when we were driving to go on holiday. I remember because DH was annoyed that I stopped at Sainsbury’s to buy Xmas pigs in blankets pjs when we should have been on the motorway!

Here’s the picture for @hby9628 .

Thanks @NancyCarey Those are exactly what I wanted, and yes the delivery was free. I’ve ordered two glasses cloths for total of £4 delivered, but might be ordering more.

There are some great ideas on there e.g. personalised glass chopping board (any photo) for £12 delivered. I think you just need to have some imagination with their quite industrial, pub focussed product images.

Thanks for the Superseconds tip, I had s browse and came across an ideal gift for DS - a print of our local football stadium. It wasn't a second but I got a discount using SUPERSECONDS as a code.

I finally had a decent UberEats discount. £15 off a £25 grocery shop. Not as good as some had last week but it saved me some money and a trip to the supermarket this evening.

Worth checking your app.

Landys chemist sent me an email to say they were offering a free gift with purchase (worth £100 apparently) if you spend £25+ on Clarins. Not sure how they compare price wise to other retailers. Offer ends on the 6th.

I have an £8 off an £80 spend at Argos if anyone wants it.

I finally checked my Uber Eats (which I never use). I had 2 x £25 off a £15 spend which was madness! Free food! And 1 £15 off £25 spend which I also used. I had a free trial of uber eats. So £75 worth of food for about £12.

I have £6 off £25. I feel cheated!

Thanks @IlovePond, I will hold out.

I had this too - put through an order for £25, meaning my total came to about £10. Then three items were out of stock, so I actually got 40 packets of Wotsits, a 6 pack of Monster Munch, some pains au chocolats and some hot dogs (ALL the health food...) delivered for £1.89.

Has there been a spicery code posted? Or did I imagine it? Maybe on the last thread. I've looked back but can't find it.

I used spicebox10 the other week which gives 10% discount.

spicery is 33% off the legend stuff this month - kits, refills and I think books separately too
