I asked on the previous thread so asking again just in case anyone has missed it. I need a new freezer and cheapest one is from Argos (even with P&P) - I would be very grateful if anyone who has a code they don’t want would mind sending it to me! Yet another unexpected cost just before Christmas and if I can get some discount I’d be so grateful! Thanks.

@redjokerI’ve found bohomoon to be good for being tarnish free - my DD has a bracelet from there she got early this year, that she wears daily, and it’s showing no sign of tarnishing, which i’ve been impressed with. they have lots in their black friday sale too

Dinosweetpea · 13/11/2025 10:14

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

I like

eightyeightjewellery.com ,they have 50% off black friday now
Bohomoon tiktok and online
seenbysmith on tiktok
Love Sophiajewels also on tiktok

Have ordered from all of these, lovely stuff, both silver and gold coloured, tarnish free

oop · 13/11/2025 10:24

Lucy and Yak have 25% off fleeces and puffa jackets at the moment. Still expensive of course but a decent discount from original price if you've got any Lucy and Yak lovers on your list.

@redjoker I wear double earrings and necklace from Abbots Lyon in the shower, swimming etc every day. Never take them off, never tarnished. They always have good sales too.

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?

I saw popcorn flavourings in a nice gift box in home sense last week. Definitely worth checking there

Did someone put a deal on for NEOM oils the other day? I am scrolling back but can't find it x

My bank (Lloyds) is offering 15% cashback for Abbott Lyon at the moment, it’s something you do have to activate though.

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?

I got the M&S one last year. very nice but could be a bit thick. Worth a look just careful how you wash it I seem to have lost a bit of length on the sleeves.

redjoker · 13/11/2025 10:58

Thanks for the heads up about the M&S advent calendar- I get it every year as my main xmas gift (open it all on the day!) and had a £30 gift card so got it for £15!

lovely Christmas threaders! Could I ask you all kindly for any (hopefully bargainous) ideas you may have seen on your travels for gifts for a primary age girl who is really into K Pop Demon hunters?

Does anyone know if any shops like B&M, Home Bargains, Poundland have any Asian sweets / snacks?

Home Bargains have some sweet bits, like the panda biscuits. Might have more but it’s not something I’ve ever particularly looked for.

Really random but your all good at finding stuff!
I need a night light or bedside lamp that can dim for my nearly 4 year old. It needs to be brighter than a gro egg or Yoto light. It must be a plug in (not battery operated, only rechargeable if it can stay plugged in all the time) and have a cord not directly into the plug socket.
Ideally a design that will appeal to a 4 year old but the above is more important.
Any ideas?
Found one in Ikea but not available in the 2 stores near me and only available for large deliveries annoyingly

Could you just put a smart bulb (or whatever they’re called) in a standard lamp and then you can dim it from your phone? Or you can buy the ones that have a little remote control to change colour and brightness.

Does it need to be a traditional dressing gown or would she use a towelling poncho? We have them for after paddle-boarding, mine is by RED equipment about £30 but there’s cheaper alternatives in places like Mountain Warehouse

sillygoof · 13/11/2025 11:33

@Cuwins , for our little ones we used a Hue Go - and still do as a bedside light now they’re older. They’re always plugged in, very occasionally use them unplugged. Not sure if they meet all your criteria but they’ve been perfect for us. Can use the app to change the brightness, get it to gradually dim as they go to sleep, change colour when it’s bedtime or morning.

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

Can I ask - are they legit?!!! Some nice bits on their clearance page and free delivery makes it very tempting!!!

Just realized you may not be looking for a child’s size @Toooldforlonghair ! Either way, I have a similar one from JL that I use for the same purpose and love. It’s about a decade old and is still fairly soft.
