I got the SDJ body crème (yellow one) as a gift and i really liked it. I’m 46!

thanks for the SDJ tips - i got 3 sets and the free bag.

for anyone who hasn't tried it, its quite fruity flavoured and very sweet. not my personal taste but popular with my tweens and also my adult sister (she likes lush snowfairy too so i think she'll like this).

Christmas shopping has officially started!

Good to know they are sweet scents as I do prefer these kinda scents over fresh/floral ones! I am obsessed with coconut scented stuff too so if they have anything remotely coconutty they got me 🤣

My teenage daughter's asked for a mini indoor rebounder (not a spring trampoline). Any ideas how to get a good deal, as they seem very expensive! Decathlon, Amazon have some but quite expensive.

😅 I'm 38 and have the yellow spray (🐑 bought because of these threads!) I do like the smell but don't love it, Rio Radiance I think it is. I personally feel it's more for teens than adults. I definitely wouldn't wear it for a night out (plus I like to be in bed by 9! 😁) I only really used it during the summer when I was going on beach walks with the dogs 🤣🙈

But then again, plenty here loved the Ariana Grande perfume that was mentioned last year and I wasn't keen on it at all so... Probably not much help 🤣

if I had to describe it, it's like a beach party vibe. I much prefer my DKNY Coconuts About Summer as a summer scent. I'll probably end up giving the SDJ to my niece actually, only just remembered I have it! 🙈

It seems the yellow one is the most popular! Haha same here, well by 10 when the kids are in bed I’m usually then cuddled up with the puglets and a blanket on the sofa! How very rock n roll 😅

What?! There’s a coconut perfume from DkNY? Where have I been 🤣😅 I am coconut obsessed and never even knew about this!

I can recommend this one, and it's currently on sale. Still pricey, but I think worth it for good quality. Customer service is also great, I had a problem with mine being very stiff to unfold and they swapped it with no issues.

Please tell me about half price sock shop adventure calendar socks. Last year I ordered DH a sock advent calendar from Amazon. After a month of waiting I got a refund. Time was tight so I bought a sock shop one which was really spendy but he did like it. This year DD wanted something similar. I ordered from a different Amazon supplier back in September and, massive surprise, I was refunded yesterday. The sock shop ones are £59.95 which is waaay more than I wanted to spend. She usually gets chocolate, but first year as a student, her halls are boiling so chocolate would melt and this would help stretch the gap between wash days.
Any bargains out there or should I wait it out for a bit longer?

I can’t find my order email but I have many many emails from their mailing list (need to unsubscribe!) from 16th December.

they were terrible quality! Soft and stretchy but I have about 6 odd socks left and they are about to get holes rather than thin patches.

🤣🤣 it's only because my kids are teenagers that I can get away with going to bed so early! Actually getting any sleep is another matter though!

Yessss! THAT'S why I bought the yellow one, I'm also a lover of coconut scents! But I wouldn't say it's noticeably coconut, more just a tropical scent to me!
I can't remember how coconut'y the DKNY one is (ok, so I've just got out of bed just to go smell it, definitely clean, fresh coconut vibes, I even got my teen lad to blind-sniff test it and he said it smells like coconut) 😁 but there's also Laura Mercier Almond Coconut which is beautiful too!

Similar age, Pugs, coconuts and living a rock&roll lifestyle, we're basically twins 🤣😁 oh, I've just realised I'm using my bamboo pillow too, it's fab!

Is it mainly for teens? I’m 38 next month so wondering if I’m a bit old for it 😅

9 and 12 here 😄

RJnomore1 · 29/10/2025 22:37

Hi

i can’t remember who else was looking for a Nintendo switch 2. Very now have it with Mario kart down to £409 and a code if you take it on 12 months but now pay later (you can still pay it off immediately after you get it if you want) where yin get 10% cashback applied to your account. I’m making that £370. I still need to get the pokemon game but I think it’s a good deal and will end up with 2 games for the price I’d pay for the console with 1, roughly.

MaggieSansoni · 29/10/2025 22:39

@hugsandpugs I use the yellow (Number 62) in the SDJ. The shower cream is lovely followed by the body butter. If you like sweet gourmand scents you will like no 62 as it has a vanilla scent with a hint of of caramel. My daughter prefers the purple (Delicia Drench). This has notes of vanilla, sandalwood and plum - Hope this helps.

@Sasha07 Haha, I have one teen (14) one near teen (12) and one (8). I usually stay up until they’re all in bed as I know the eldest will sneak on his phone and stay up til god knows what time otherwise 😅🤣 I like the last hour before bed though as I can watch what I wanna watch in peace and quiet ☺️

I am liking the sound of the yellow one based on the responses here! Tropical ish will do 🤣
I’ll keep an eye out for the DKNY! And omg the almond coconut one sounds gorgeous!!
The closest coconutty smelling perfume I’ve managed to find is the M&S edt one and that smells beautiful! Quite a fresh coconut scent rather than a creamy one if that makes any sense 😄

Oh wow - yes we are definitely alike!! 😅 let us know how you get on with the bamboo pillow, I’m getting impatient wanting to try mine 😂

I’m teetering on the edge of buying loads of Wednesday lip balms for half price and the bargain SDJ deal … I’ve only got my own 10 year old to buy for though and my mums already got her some!

if anyone has a spare code for the £100 off PS5 I’d be so grateful x

Have sent you a code

Mine arrived today as well - the QR code for contents doesn’t seem to link to a list anywhere?

I haven’t checked it as we like it to be a surprise when we open it , I wonder if they will link the qr code up later so it isn’t put on the interweb early .

Just a warning. The yellow one (62) isn't coconutty or tropical at all. It's very sweet caramel/almondy. The one with solar/coconut notes is a limited edition spray called rio radiance. It is yellow but is not the same as the yellow 62 spray that seems the most popular in sets etc. Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess is a coconut led tropical vibe perfume if you wanted to try something stronger than a body spray.
