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!

Received this code from Celtic and Co for £20 off a spend of £20 or more.

Any budget friendly ideas for an 8 year old boy? No idea what he likes either 😅

The little ones with the dust cover look cute , but they are tiny compared to book nooks , has anyone made this type before ?

Has anyone picked up their Argos glitch remote control cars?

Thanks @N96 Got cashmere ear warmers for £9.95 delivered for a friend.

Yes but the small version.

Yes, picked up this morning

Crayola set £6.50 currently https://amzn.eu/d/ckQmh5s lowest price for a while according to the three camels

Thanks @Thegoldgrind have you noticed any results with the Stylopro one?

There was a few people buying pillows a while back, where were they from and what were the thoughts of those that brought them?
thanks!

I'm not going to lie, I only managed using it for about 3 weeks 😂 need to get it back out! Hopefully there will be a time when it's not difficult to find ten minutes before bed to lie down and do nothing! 🤞🏻

Looking to buy some American sweets and drinks and can recall some people had problems but can’t remember the company. Any recommendations or who I should avoid. Thanks

Smyth's have Black Friday offers on their home page, including half price book sets like this Worst Week Ever one £8.49 and 5 book Percy Jackson set £9.99

Instead of having to check which Lego sets my nephews don’t already have (they have lottttts 😅) I’ve decided to buy them some Lego shop gift cards! Does anyone know if there’s a good way to do this to get some money off?

Also, incredibly niche but has anyone seen any golden retriever Christmas wrapping paper?? Doesn’t have to be a bargain I just would love to buy it in a real life shop (Etsy have some lovely ones but they all seem to be £14 postage!)

Never shopped there but Foreo have some deals on Bear etc

I picked up these colouring pencils for 69p in Home Bargains, I don't suppose anyone has used them before and confirm they're ok? I know sometimes you get pencils that barely colour and are rubbish, I'd hate that to happen as they're for the local kids gift collection and at that price I picked up a few packs. I will try them if no-one knows but thought it was worth asking, TIA

Not sure the pic is going to attach it's giving me a scrolling wheel of doom...

It won't add the pic. They're in an orange box, 12 scented pencils named Scribble Pop Shop

No picture @ChristmasJumperz but I wouldn’t worry too much, kids don’t tend to be too fussy with pencils until they are much older or are big art fans.

@FurForksSake Thanks for that, yes just like your link but orange box. Appreciate your reassurance at my time of self-doubt!!

I use candy mail, they have a lot of different sweets on offer and have never had an issue with deliveries.

Candy Mail

Yoto currently have 10% off the mini as a black Friday deal.. do we think that's as good a discount as we're likely to see from them?

They have definitely had 20% off in the past

@forforkssake my primary aged DC was given some of those but in a blue box and was happy with them so im sure they'll be well recieved :-)

Re: kpop merch I splashed out on the Netflix store for DD's birthday but also got these stickers from Etsy. They're pricey but really lovely and she's older so appreciates them. I highly recommend for the quality www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4361521640/holographic-k-pop-demon-hunters-sticker
