@sc0ttishlass

if you're unconcerned with the Neom and just want to fragrance the ceramic you could use one these; £3.99 for six

eta; just noticed it's £4.99 del. You can buy essential oils for ~£2 from many retailers though

Jigglemonster · 27/10/2025 13:01

Sainsbury's had the vtech Bluey Owl Chattermax in-store reduced to £11 from £22, wasn't labelled/displayed so maybe some other things also reduced but not obvious.

This is it: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7623363

imnottoofussed · 27/10/2025 13:09

Neom oils are often on tkmaxx. Theres one online currently for £12.99. Rrp £30

Pluto356 · 27/10/2025 13:20

Just a reminder of the boots recycling scheme. I’ve just been able to get a Neom pod diffuser and star for free using the points I’ve saved this year. Was meant to be £65!
just wish I’d known about it sooner 😂

Elphaba17 · 27/10/2025 13:31

I bought a couple of the neom stars last week and plan to pair them with these Tisserand oil sets that I got at TK Maxx. They will make lovely little gifts for less than £12. I use mine in the car as an air freshener.

If anyone hasn’t signed up to look Fantastic you could buy the stars there and take advantage of the £10 off £25 spend referral discount. I’m happy to PM my link or you’ll find a few in the referral board.

juicyjellybaby · 27/10/2025 13:33

Anyone with Sol de janerio fans I got these two sets for my girls for £20 each at all beauty using codes GIFTS20 at the checkout

First of all, thank you for this amazing thread. I've discovered some new retailers as well as found some great bargains.

My turn:

  1. ASOS have up to 50% off pretty much everything. Good for basics, Korean skincare, perfumes make up, the works!

  2. Blade & Rose have BOGOF on their leggings - I highly rate them for babies/ toddlers, super cute and well made.

  3. Papier have 20% off on their Christmas cards.

  4. Snapfish Code: Half1025 , can be used for prints and posters

  5. Micro Scooters have 20% off early access that ends today, extended returns until January 26

  6. Babipur have a mid season sale with 30% off kids clothes.

  7. Frugi have 30% off outerwear and you get a free backpack on spends over £100. I've always bought kids coats and fleeces from them so will recommend them happily.

  8. World of books has 20% off.

  9. Also, please can I take a moment to recommend this independent business run by the lovely Judith. I have posted on the small business thread as well however given the traffic on this thread, I thought it would be a good place give her a shout out.

Bought a few bits ; the socks and soaps would make for some nice gifts/ stocking fillers.

you can buy a set of six mini Neom oils on eg look fantastic at the moment for £28. I’m hoping there will be more offers towards Christmas, and I would plan to buy a couple of sets and split them up. With the star and the oil it would still come in at less than £10 per gift. (especially if you’re using a referral link for lookfantastic - check the board!)

Would really appreciate a code please.

hugsandpugs · 27/10/2025 15:29

ELF cosmetics have a surprise £5 reward on their app 😊 no minimum spend

hugsandpugs · 27/10/2025 15:32

@Sasha07 ah that’s amazing news that they’ve refunded the shipping for you! 😊

I’ve got two pugs but one of them is 25% Jack Russell! 🥰 they are amazing. Both have different characteristics - we have one black and one fawn! The black one is only 7 months old and is mischievous 😈 🤣

VelvetThunder · 27/10/2025 16:10

Notino have some offers on.
20% off for spends over £10 with the code mix.
Also some free gift offers like a full sized perfume for orders over £50.
There are some others too.

@Qwerty21 Re: bamboo pillows, I've just had an email and they've refunded me the shipping cost! Send them an email via Support and they should refund yours too 😁😁
@Donsyb I think I've tagged the right person, they'd initially said they'd fixed the problem that people were having with free delivery (the bamboo pillows that @hugsandpugs mentioned earlier) so if you didn't order then for that reason, it should work now.
@hugsandpugs also, I didn't want to fill the thread with me nattering but I also have a pug, they're awesome little creatures aren't they 🤣 more dog/cat/human hybrids 🤣 he sleeps on my bed (he's my little spoon 🥰) but the old pillows will be fab for my Jack Russell who prefers to sleep in his crate ♥️ my order has been dispatched, can't wait to receive my pillows so thanks again.

I did order, but I may message them to say the code didn’t work and see if they’ll refund it! Thanks

@lotsofthingstolearn I am with your DH and love and oversized mug (don't get me started on the pathetically small branded mugs my office insists on... that is not a sufficient amount of tea!). If you want a classy (eg expensive) version the Cornishware biggest size ones are lovely, and you can get them personalised. They seem to be out of stock at the moment alas, because MY DH has promised me one to make up for mine that he smashed....!

As we are talking about Customer Service provided by companies - did anyone else know that sellers on Amazon can censor reviews?
I left both a seller and product review about the Christmas jumpers for ladies, basically saying that the seller failed to honour the advertised price and then cancelled the refund offered by Amazon.
The seller blocked both reviews.
I have reported to Amazon and they are taking it seriously.
Has anyone else managed to leave a review>

Also, still no response from Fiorelli.

They removed my review too. I started a 2nd complaint with Amazon but kept getting interrupted so never finished it. I already have my refund.

Really poor service. If they made a mistake just own it rather than mess people around and blatantly lie about it.

Interesting.
When I tried to write another review, I got a red message saying that the seller is not accepting reviews from my account!!!!
If anyone else tried to buy, it would be great if they could try and leave a review and see what happens.
This is censorship.

@lotsofthingstolearn - these mugs hold 500ml (right to the top) so a bit less than the Sports Direct ones, but they are nice. I have 3 of them (2 x yellow and 1 pink) and they seem to keep my tea a bit hotter than other mugs. If you have a sparks card you might get 10% off at the moment

Highly unlikely. 20% is a great discount for Micro Scooter.
