Mariah will be singing All I want for Christmas before we know it, and it's only 46 days until Christmas, so let's get those bargains, folks!

@2025istheyeari I’ve got the advent calendar offer too. That’s an amazing deal with no min spend. Great spot! I’ve not ordered though as i already have loads of stuff to get through although there’s time for me to change my mind!

Thanks for this. They have 50% off adult colouring books and watercolour pads which include the colours and paint as well. I wouldn't trust the watercolour ones as the paper doesn't seem like proper watercolour paper, but the colouring books looked lovely and good quality. They have different sizes. I saw them in person last week and wanted to buy one for my mum so I'm really happy about this offer!

Yeah it has changed. I thought it would equate to the same value but in points but I’m not certain now that it does. Mine has also given me option to join PayPal plus where there are other ways of earning points too.
Seems like you need to get £10 of points before you can redeem though

Maqio have what looks to be about 70% off on a barbie kitchen playset (£83 reduced to £23) and a load of reduced lego including Christmas truck, centrepiece and £25 off the lego lilo and stitch beach house. And a free christmas box with a £50 spend and win your basket competition

Hpbbycraft has done its early black friday release for club members and there are a load of half price/cut price art sets if people are looking for tweens/teens presents. I assume the same offers will roll out to non club members next week, but I think you just have to join the mailing list to become a 'member'! . Annoyingly no dscount on the colour in houses yet but jigsaws are also half price including Disney Princess, Bluey, Paw Patrol etc

Hobbycraft jigsaws here - won't let me include more than one link!

Edited - or perhaps any clicky link to hobbycraft? https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/search/?q=jigsaws&lang=enGB

I’ve always found Nike to be small fitting if anything but with footwear at the price I’d definitely recommend trying on first or maybe even ordering two different sizes and returning one. DD has Nike dunks and takes her normal size in them. If you’re a size 5 I agree with the poster advising to buy the junior UK 5, much cheaper and essentially the same.

I don’t know whether this has been mentioned before but there’s 20% off selected gift cards from the Tesco gift card site, includes Odeon, New Look and Virgin experiences. I just bought a £60 Odeon card for £48

Where can you see that teddies there releasing?

@JenniferBooth and @HeartandSeoul I will see if I can get some inside info re Aldi/Kev the Carrot, I have a potential source ;) Watch this space.

can you link to the site please - i have a bunch of cards to get!

Harper Collins have their 50% off again for subscribers.

Thank you for this! I already have an advent calendar from somewhere else but have treated myself.

My dithering has cost me again!!!! This time Oddballs.....they had discounts the other week but thought id hold off till black Friday. They now have a black Friday sale on and my basket has gone up over £20 compared to the other week! Serves me right for not ordering back then 🤦‍♀️

I’m hoping for some help, I bought my son a small popcorn maker for Christmas and was going to buy him a popcorn seasoning set from Matalan (see pic).

Annoyingly it’s now out of stock and I can only find larger more expensive ones. Have done a google reverse image search and that didn’t help either. Has anyone seen anything similar to the Matalan one?

Same here 🫣

I need to buy a thermos tea/coffee pot for someone. The requirements being that it looks pretty, keeps the drink hot for 12 hours and holds around 1 litre. Help!

Isn't it frustrating?! Black Friday no longer seems to be one day, it's weeks of sales build up. Same with Christmas, I used to love going sales shopping on Boxing Day.....now there are sales going on weeks before Xmas which can be handy, but then again annoying if previously bought stuff gets reduced further!

Sorry i shall stop being a Grinch now!🙈

I always buy the Thermos brand and they do well. Got some bargains last year using the Amazon Warehouse, I cant remember what it's called now? Give there a try as alpt kf thw time it's just damaged packing which gets thrown away anyway!

Free delivery at The Beauty Store using the code HUMPDAY, today only. I’ve bought a Sarah Jessica Parker perfume rollerball for my DD for £6.99 with free delivery

@Cos1970

Pick and mix seasoning on this etsy store

@oatmilkisntsobad no idea about the company never used them or the product but these look pretty if they are for at home use. Can't see it being very practical to take out though 😂

Geepas thermos jug

Thank you! That is pretty. Will try to find reviews from other sellers to see how long it keeps the coffee hot

It really is! I find it stressful because I never know whether it’s best to wait or buy there and then. I get annoyed when I buy something and it drops in price 🤣

I am looking for some gold jewellery that is tarnish resistant- im buying for someone that likes to keep jewellery on in the shower. Its a gift so dont want to go mad with solid gold, but has anyone got any nice recommendations?

There are so many jewellery websites it honestly feels a bit overwhelming and would like to avoid Etsy- as already had a look and cant see what Id like

My daughter wants a dressing gown a towelling one that she can put on after showering at the gym etc. She already has a fluffy one and an Oodie but wants something that can help dry you. Any recommendations please?
