Thread 13 - the one with a cheesy advent calendar of 67 jumpers

[Reastie]

Decided to combine both thread title suggestions :)

Thanks @RainbowZebraWarrior for helping me out and I'm so excited that I was on my computer and she tagged me so I could set this one up - hurrah!

Feeling super festive today after getting the decorations up and visiting Father Christmas. Exciting news is the Christmas bedding and jumpers are all down from the loft and being washed, so I'll soon be able to walk around in my 'I [heart] Christmas' jumper

This post is a work in progress, and if you have any links you’d like to share or you think would be good to add, then please do let me know. The general consensus for the thread is to share any bargainous links, ideas, and/or discount codes or information. No affiliate links, please.

As we move towards actual Black Friday (does that even exist any more?) the threads tend to move very quickly. It can be helpful to post your bargain in bold. This can be done by adding an asterxix either side of a word with no gap in between. So Levi's would be Levi's

I'm the same. Waiting for popcorn, Fahlo bracelets and Gruum .
No dispatch emails from any of them.

Ooops, forgot I was waiting for Gruum too!

I got a dispatch email from Gruum but no tracking. Said 5-7 days.

Also just saw advent calendars are half price at Boots and you get triple points

I have gruum- it came through Royal Mail so if you’re struggling with receiving post then this could add to it. Still waiting on the Toniebox which is now 10 days and counting

Apologies if this has been mentioned but I’ve just picked up a Sainsbury’s beauty advent calendar in store - £20 nectar card price down from £80! My local store only had 4 out, happened to see them near the till. It’s quite a big box with some lovely bits in, I may keep as a treat to myself 😊

Popcorn: my email from Joe & Seph's said 5-7 working days for dispatch, so I'm not expecting my order to come till next week.

Gruum: nothing from them but, last time I ordered from them, it took at least a week before my order was dispatched. So, again, I'm not expecting anything till next week.

I have just been to Waitrose as my friend who works there tipped me off that the advent calendars are half price from today. I bought a Lindt one from DS2 who is home from uni next week!

Thanks all - got a Tony's advent calendar for £6 in Sainsbos

Thanks so much to whoever suggested getting a Subscribe and Save for amazon for wine - and cancelling later. I just got 12 bottles of wine for gifts for £45 as this one had a £9 voucher on it (not sure if just specific to me) plus the subscribe and save 10% off plus 2% discount for no-rush shipping!

Just found an email re Gruum order in my Junk mail

B&M have the branded £7.50 squishmallows reduced to £3 and the massive ones for £9.99 if anyone is interested.

Any suggestions for a pretty generic gift to go into a present swap?
Male and female. Ages from 9 - 70 and budget is £10.
Will be a sort of Reverse Raffle.

Bit niche but does anyone have a snorkel mask that they would recommend? I’m looking for the full face sort with elastic straps that cradle the back of the head. (Probably not explaining that very well!) they seem to vary in price a lot. Wondering if anyone knew of which brands were good/ best avoided?

I've heard good things about the shark swim tech one Tesco have on offer. It's under £20 Vs high £30s in decathlon.

Frugi have a free Santa sack for orders over £80 and their water bottles are down to £5 each. Also still have some mystery sacks on offer for £35-£39

Terrys chocolate orange advent calendars and swizzle sweet ones half price in Sainsbury’s

Could anyone recommend a nice jewellery box brand?

Depends on age range. If you're looking for preteen, teens and adults then Stackers is always my go to. You can buy trays that stack together which makes it easy for the recipient to add to it if their jewellery collection expands.

Please can someone spare the patience to walk me the the Anthroperks. I signed up. All it says is gives me a qr code to scan instore. Sorry and sigh.

Also various Cadbury ones, Lindt and celebration advent calendars half price in Sainsbury’s

@onedayatatime73 once you’ve signed up they send you a voucher, usually three days after you’ve signed up.

Have you actually signed up via this page? If you have, and it's giving you a QR code to use instore, then just ignore that for now and check your emails. Firstly, you should get confirmation that you're now a member, then you will get your £20 off email. This sometimes takes a day or two from memory (I signed up back in August and got £20 off their advent calendar)

Can I ask re: Anthroperks, do you have to give your mobile number in order to sign up/receive the £20 voucher? If so, are those that have signed up being bombarded with marketing texts from them? I’ve been putting off signing up, as I hate marketing texts!

Hi @bizzey - today’s cheese calendar offering was two of the tiniest ever biscuits - not even a bite each - about 10p size.

I am attaching a pic of the biscuits and yesterday’s chutney so you can see them both.

The cheese measuring will have to wait until the next cheese day arrives…

@YouCanLetItGo I’m in Ireland am happy to get some and post them to you
