Welcome to Christmas 2025!

This post is a work in process and if you have any links you’d like to share or would be good to add then please do let me know.

Laithwaites referral code only works on wine afaik, I tried it last year on some whisky.

Ah, well there you go, then!

When they get back to me I'll ask them to remove me from their spamming email list. I'm not likely to buy much wine - I don't drink- and my closest friends aren't wine drinkers.

Thank you for this. Some really good deals on Amazon- I know i try to avoid them, but some great small labels from the UK, so doing some good.

Well now @CarrieMoonbeams you're a genius, thank you! I'd discounted their Fairisle mittens last week as I thought they were mittens, but another look at your link shows they're flap-overs. Perfect. Thank you so much!

Excellent! I think the flap over type are the best of both worlds really. I have dogs and I can 'unflap' when I want to get a biscuit out of my pocket or to button up my coat, then get cosy again when I'm done.

Anyone know of any affordable but good quality golf balls? I know nothing about golf! ⛳️

Titelist used to be the brand my dad always asked for.

Any ladies with bearded men in their lives who can recommend a nice facial care toiletries set? My lovely Son in Law has requested a beard care set. He takes great pride in his facial hair and likes good quality toiletries.
Thank-you

Ah that’s rubbish but I don’t understand as folk use it to buy multiple hampers. Have you got ANY wine in your basket? I wonder if it’s worth adding a bottle of wine to see if that makes it work

TeamToeBeans · 09/12/2025 22:27

@Thatsanotherfinemess1 Is this any good? No zip unfortunately, but otherwise I think it meets the criteria? Not quite cerise, but I sent it back because it was brighter than I wanted. M&S teddy borg wrap lounge cardigan in dark raspberry, in case the pic doesn’t load.

Does anyone have any recommendations on heated jackets/anything you can wear? It's for an elderly man who wants to move about in it so he doesn't want a blanket. Thanks x

Got the fil a regatta heated Gillet few years back from go outdoors which was well received. Just have tk check if you need a powerbank too.

Carrie76 · 09/12/2025 22:32

Thanks for the Linkee feedback I’ll go for it

Has anyone seen any good deals on christmas flowers for delivery? Last year there was an excellent value offer - maybe flying flowers? Anything similar this year?

imnottoofussed · 09/12/2025 22:39

Whoever was looking for dry robes the regatta ones are £39.99 on tkmaxx at the moment.

there are a couple of colours. I’ve not used them so not sure on quality but you can probably check reviews elsewhere

Also moleskine notebooks

Bunches do some lovely flowers, long lasting and great customer services. There are some links on the referral thread to save £5 too

I’m miles behind on the thread and on shopping this year.
Does anyone remember chat in previous years about some sort of mini printer for photos? I seem to recall a lot of people were getting them for teens. It occurred to me earlier that it was something DD might like but I have no idea what it was called and any searches are so are just bringing up instant cameras and I don’t think that that is what I’m thinking of. Any suggestions of what I am looking for or - even better - recommendations for specific products?
Thank you!

Thank you so much to a PP for the Island Records merch tip off! DD saw both Hoosier and Catfish and the Bottlemen in the last year. She couldn't afford tour T shirts and will be over the moon to get them.

So glad it was useful I know it was a bit niche!
