Gutted I didn’t get a £1 oodie. My boyfriend would like one but only likes the grey. I know they are on sale for £32 but £1 would have made my day!

LostMyRubySlippers · 20/11/2025 19:51

Harper Collins are doing 50% off again all day tomorrow only

qercv · 20/11/2025 19:53

O luck again. Ds’s oodie has the front pocket come loose. It’s too thick to repair with our sewing machine.

Hearst magazines are offering 6 month subscription for £6 on a variety of mags including good housekeeping,
There is also £8.50 cash back on TCB so you could get the 6 magazines & end up £2.50 in credit if the cash back tracks!

Has anyone seen a naice tin of biscuits or chocolates or shortbread, friend appreciates a pretty tin and I appreciate a bargain 🤞🏼

They have some festive biscuits in a tin on Anthropologie if you haven't used the perks voucher, you could sign up for that and they would be free! Though I can't currently get mine to work but lots of other people have.

Does anyone know if the Amazon discounts are daily deals only? Just looking at getting the Amazon fire 8. Wasn’t in our plans but for the discount price it is now. Just going to buy it tomorrow but worried the deals are daily only

Ladybaga · 20/11/2025 20:33

Does anyone remember if sock shop did a black friday discount last year please? I have the 2 for 20 offer but just wondering if they will come out with something better in the next few days!

FurForksSake · 20/11/2025 20:42

Anthroperks - how can it be used at the moment? I don’t believe it stacks with the Black Friday and then you can’t use it? Is that right? Is there a way of taking off the Black Friday discount to use the anthroperk or is it a case of waiting for that promotion to end?

Does anyone have any good ideas for 13 year old boys around the £30 mark? Into puzzles, escape rooms, theatre, fitness, basketball and eating!

I saw this press up board on social media and thought it looked quite good. (Moving the bars works different muscles).
You could get that along with a puzzle or £20 theatre voucher.

@gingerbreadmumm my 7yo loves Fahlo but he collects the plush instead of the braclets. They are really good quality and he enjoys checking on the animals.
There’s 3 for 2 today

Thanks @SkinnyOatFlatWhiteForMePlease but that code doesn’t seem to work on the Lego

@trying29Ive looked on Vinted but there’s only one set on there at the moment and it’s more expensive than the actual shops

I’ll look at the Lego store/cash back too

Thanks everyone

Can anyone help with a recommendation for one of those grabbing claw machines that actually works. I have seen so many different ones but many reviews are poor. Asking for a five year old who is desperate for Santa to bring him one.
Any help would be appreciated.

Smyths have one for about £30.

One of mine had it last year and it’s really good, it can pick up lots of different sweets!

Thank you - I was looking at the plushies too- ideally I’d like one plush and one bracelet for dd. Not sure I need 3 plushies - and don’t really have anyone else to buy one for atm. I still can’t decide on which animals to buy x

watchuswreckthemic · 20/11/2025 21:38

Any ideas for a darts fan? Budget around £25 where possible!
Anyone looking for experience/ days out gifts then I’d recommend planet offers

Same here! I only want 1.
my daughter loves Fahlo. She has a few bracelets but really wants the snow leopard plush. Hope they do another deal

Whatthecluckingcluck · 20/11/2025 21:43

Has anybody brought, got or got experience of the El Camino bracelets?
I keep on looking at them, for me, but they seem a bit niche but they really appeal to me more than something like Pandora.
They absolutely are not a bargain, but I would appreciate any insight anybody has. Xx

Idontgiveagriffindamn · 20/11/2025 21:44

@gingerbreadmumm we have the sloth (for my sloth like teen), gorilla and lion plush. got a cheetah bracelet for xmas and he’s giving me a koala one for Xmas. I’ve just bought 3 plush - shark, snow leopard and penguin chick. One for him and 2 for friends.
