Hope you're all well. I've just put in a big Temu order for stocking bits and bits for work. They gave me £8 off my next order yesterday as two orders I had are arriving late and, when I contacted customer services about something, they also gave me a 20% off voucher, so I saved £20 on my order!

This looks a great offer. What age would you say PLousie is for?

I love a practical present if I've asked for one but a random frying pan not so sure. My reaction would be the same as DMiL's he'd be wearing it!

I have never bought they products before but looking at them I’d say they are popular with teens, I bought the body scrub for my DD who’s younger but she loves bath bombs bath scrubs lip balms etc! X

Yes, if you’ve asked and been specific it’s ok. I’ve had le creuset for Christmas as it’s spendy. We do something you want / need / wear / read every year for dh, me and the kids. It works so well and the need invariably is practical! I’m thinking of the hot chocolate frother as ds1 need as he drinks a lot of milkshakes and hot chocolates. My need might be a very specific tool for my hobby.

Rex London is perfect for stocking fillers and inexpensive gifts.

I've asked DH for an in-oven meat thermometer and a good roasting tin for my birthday! 😬🤣

@NoWordForFluffy the ikea stainless steel roasting pans are excellent if you need a recommendation!

Proviso, check sizing

Can anyone recommend a furry/ soft duvet set something like this? DD has asked for one. She's a real coldy cat and wants something warm and soft. She already has jersey. I think they would be uncomfortable to sleep in and not wash well so I would really like to know how others have found them.

I’ve just had delivered 2 children’s kits FB4U and although the delivery is a few weeks the kits are very good quality and very good replicas.

What is FB4U? After a kit for my little one and his dad x

Those that ordered the cheap ladies jumpers from Amazon - did anyone receive them?
My delivery date has been put back twice and it's now saying my parcel may be lost!
The men's orders were cancelled. now the ladies not arriving.
I'm surprised Amazon allow this to happen.
Has anyone complained?

They seem like an absolute nightmare. I never bought and never subscribed ro anything yet somehow they keep spamming me with emails. I keep having to unsubscribe with the reason 'I never subscribed in the first place' from their drop down list. And still the emails come.

Thanks to whoever recommended pintail candles BTW. The ones I fancied weren't in stock but found someone selling exactly the ones I was after on vinted. They have just arrived and are brilliant.

@MerylSqueak

I have these at my house (the throws), a £60 one is about big enough to just cover a small double. They're incredibly snuggly and warm.

Added bonus they're washing machine and tumble-drier safe.

I've just complained to Amazon about mine. I think Amazon are footing the cost of refunding so I'd say it was a scam by the merchant

Interesting. Was wondering whether to just claim my refund, or give it a bit longer as I had a dispatch notification and a tracking number.
Did you speak to Customer Services or just press the refund button?

@MerylSqueak try Dunhelm Mills for their teddy duvet sets

Sorry footballsbest4u. Really happy with them .

Does anyone has an argos code please? Going to be a £200 plus spend. Thanks

Received this email from The Bottled Baking Company
I also used Craven10 as a code and it took some money off

Ive used footballsbest4u a few times after seeing it on these threads a few years back and always been happy with quality and they have washed well too.

Does anyone know where I can purchase some wide calf socks for an older woman? I've previously bought from Sockshop and they were great, but were lightweight. She would like wool or Nordic style, something "wintery" and I'm a bit stumped where to look. Any suggestions welcome please!

A personalised musical themed keyring from this lady - they are beautiful https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573440084630

@daisyboo1 for wide socks look at an accessible shop for the diabetic/ leg sore socks. Let me find a link to the type of shop I mean

edited to add on a Google there are loads of options but I got ours from able world
