Not very Christmassy, but Toni & Guy online have some big discounts on hair products with a free gift with every purchase. Free shipping over £30 and they are also on TCB.

One of the freebies on offer, (you get a choice), is a clear make up bag with trim like the sort they sell for silly money in SNK, etc. I chose a conditioner, though, as I get through lots!

Anyone know of any edible biscuit gifts for Mother's Day? It's for my 4 grandmothers so was thinking of a biscuit hamper but due to cost of living can only spend about £20 for the 4 of them

Just a word of warning for anyone buying cashmere from M&S. Ive bought it for years and have just been in to scan the rails and try on. The quality now is appalling. Truly shocking in that it couldn't get any thinner, it looks scraggy and therefore does not hang well. Im only going back to last winter and the winter before when it was beautiful. Shame.

theallypallywasp · 27/02/2026 13:47

Belly Button designs have a sale on - I think it's been on a while - reduced gift type stuff and Xmas cards. They have some 10-packs of xmas cards with robins on (various designs) for £1.75 and I've got my mam a nice mug for mother's day, and some other gift type stuff.
I've never ordered from them before so fingers crossed they are reliable!

That's disappointing. I've been buying their cashmere for years.

At least M&S has a good returns policy.

About to make a £450 purchase from Argos so hoping someone might have discount/money off codes please? Thanks

Whatthecluckingcluck · 28/02/2026 09:50

@Magnoliasunrise thank you so much for the Cotton Twist suggestion.
I ordered 2 of the foxes for my children and then I ordered 2 bracelet kits for birthdays and they are amazing!
I ordered on Thursday night, they have been personalised and have arrived this morning! Less than 36 hours from ordering to arriving.

Boho Moon have their £10 sale on again which is always good for present stocking up.

Thank you for the link. I've just stocked up on a load of necklaces to layer, and also got 10% off 😊

I added this Squishmallow to my John Lewis order to take me over the free delivery threshold and assumed it would be a small one as it was only a fiver - and it’s turned up and it massive for the price!

Melissa and doug blockables £12.50 instead of 39.99, look like a good toddler gift.

Thanks for the info. I've just stocked up on a ton of varnishes and the gel removal kit 😊

I ordered from London Grace, but no confirmation email, and nothing showing in orders? Luckily went through paypal so I can dispute. Anyone else had this issue?

It took a little while for confirmation to come through for me, but it did come through this morning (check your junk folder).

This is a bargain for kids 18 months - 3 I'd say. Love Melissa and Doug stuff, I grabbed one for a present. Thank you!

Does anyone have an Argos code please?

MydeamonsanOstrich · 05/03/2026 12:23

Thank you @CatRash
I just order some more of the ladybird audio adventure cards. Discovered I had nearly 400 Yoto points too; enough for a free delivery code.
