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.

This is exactly what I thought too! The stuff is well priced but I just need to spend some time going through the options.

COMEBACK10 for 10% off at Roy's Boys - had some pokemon slippers delivered today and the kids are very impressed, very fairly priced too.

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.

Thank you for this. I missed it when I looked through the list. Bought a discounted mug for my eldest

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.

Love this idea. Thank you! Code wouldn’t work but bought one anyway!

can anyone please describe what Marc Jacobs Honey or Dot smell like please? Amazon has them on offer but I’m not familiar with the scents. Tried to get a sniff in the shops today but they only had Wild

GiraffeGlee · 04/10/2025 19:22

Can anyone remember the website that we bought personalised footballs from either last year or the year before?

What is the upper age limit for magnatiles please?

My dd 6 nearly 7 still loves hers.

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.

Would you mind sharing a screenshot of your offer?! I cannot see anything on the app and wondering if I am not looking in the right place...

DutchTeenyPixie · 04/10/2025 19:54

@PaddingtonTwinkles oh yes please if still available!

Playmobile have 20% off atm, my 4 year wants pretty much their entire catelogue from Santa. Does anyone know if that's a good deal or if I should hold off?

I find playmobil doesn't go super cheap.

I know Argos recently had the skate park on half price but a lot of things seem to be like 20% at best.

Well worth the money tho. We got the police station last year and every child who comes to our house ends up playing with it in some way shape or form.

@Didyeaye this is a good site explaining perfume scents 😊

Thanks for the heads up! I had got that impression. My little boy has got into them recently but we haven't taken the plunge with a big set yet!

@Ohmeohmyohme my two are 9 and 7 and still regularly play with magnatiles- as does basically any age visitor we have! You can’t have too many in my opinion

20% cashback for George has just reappeared on my PayPal again!

Preg1989 · 04/10/2025 20:22

Apologies if already mentioned, I’m struggling to keep up but Rex London has some great stocking fillers in their clearance section. I bought for under 4s so puzzles, some crockery and stationary. Everything I bought between 50p-£3. They also had water bottles, backpacks, lunch bags etc. definitely worth a look. I’ve ordered little bits from them before and all good quality and fast delivery.

Whereabouts do you put the discount code? I can’t for life of me find it! X

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

Oh no! Sorry. It looked like they were all in stock but I didn’t try to purchase as they didn’t go small enough for my youngest.

On the checkout page in the usual place - click the down arrow beside order summary and you’ll see the box.

Same @LunaDeBallona!!!
I’ve used PayPal since its very beginnings and am perplexed and ever-so slightly peeved that I am not one of the chosen few to receive this magic formula 😵‍💫

It's in the app. At the bottom of the home page for me.
