No worries, ive not bought it either. The gift is too epic to share, it would be war between my kids, and i can't bring myself to buy 2 the same way I can buy 2 remote control cars!

These are always going for £20 on marketplace etc

Amazing! Thanks for sharing this. My DD loves Daise products. Just ordered her 3 lip balms with the free cosmetics bag for £5! X

eta; couldn't find the original post either 😞

I know it’s technically not Christmas related but George at Asda have up to 50% off their Halloween stuff.but it’s taking an extra 20% off on top and remember 20% cashback with PayPal too

so many grabbers !!!! Thanks for the link, will plough through them and hopefully find one that works well.

It really is 😍 order anything from p Louise website (even sale) and you get the free hand cream added to basket automatically and it comes gift boxed like the picture I posted x

Just a recommendation as I'm sure Lidl will do them again this year, the orchard Christmas mini games. We have Penguin Lotto and Puddings and Pies which continue to be played with. Great little stocking filler.

Just a heads up for the people buying P Louise, if the box feels light film yourself opening it. There's a few people receiving empty boxes and the customer service at this company is renowned for not being the best!
It's such a shame when the products and packaging are so pretty. It might be worth just covering yourselves just in case 😊.

@mummydoris2006 I've ordered from them a few times with no issues but this happened to someone I know and they wouldn't refund her!

@GiddyDog I'm the same as you, not happened to me but know someone it has!
When I looked further into it, their standard response seems to be that they've looked at the CCTV and it shows the items being packed therefore won't refund. There seems to be a few people on tiktok saying they've won items and advent calendars on lives but nit receiving them or receiving much lower valued items which seems really underhand and dishonest.
I'd just hate someone to lose out when we're all trying to get a bargain, if a quick 30 second video of soneone opening tbwir parcel saves that happening then I'm glad 😊.

Does anyone remember how cheap the minalima Harry Potter books have gone on Amazon before? My son was after them in Costco and now I’m wondering if I should go back and get them….

also stranger things fans - loads of food and sweets gifts in B&M, including themed pop tarts! Might be nice cheap stocking fillers for teens

@Givealittlebit I paid £16 for the first book early November 2022

I paid £17.99 for The Philisophers Stone mid Septemeber. I checked yesterday but they were around the £25 mark.

I like the concept of the sealed box for the extra wow factor but I’d never gift one to anyone without checking, which just distracts from the whole unboxing I think. It also means you can’t buy for multiple people at once. I bought a bulk lot for my 3 DDs but all came in the 1 sealed box so none of them will get it. The box was damaged anyway but it would have been nice to at least give it one of them.

Could you please remind me of the website, and if there’s a code?

From Rosemartsigns I ordered the glasses cloth and also a metal filmstrip bookmark which I want to give a shout out to. I uploaded photos of DDs favourite book duo and a quote from the book so the bookmark has the cover of the first book for the first pic, quote in the middle, then the second book cover. It’s come out really well and she’ll be over to moon. Cost £3.99 and free delivery. https://www.rosemartsigns.com/products/personalised-photo-text-printed-filmstrip-metal-bookmark

Those look really nice too. Waiting for my glasses cloths to arrive

I've had an email to say Boots green parcel label Christmas gifts are 4 for 2 IN STORE ONLY today instead of 3 for 2. You will need to activate this offer on your Advantage Card. Typically today is the only day I can't get to a store to take advantage

@Justhereforthechristmasthreadsi just came to post the same message! Good offer

For those who can't get to a Boots store today there is also a 3 for 2 offer online

Glad you like it!! It smells sooo good.
