Absolutely NOT a bargain, but if anyone is looking for Slip silk pillowcases to put away for Xmas, there are some on sale, (still very expensive), at Liberty.

If you are new to Liberty these sale prices MIGHT stack with the 15% new customer discount which would bring these down to £63.25 instead of £110 full price.

I’m sure everyone but me already knows this, but just in case…the M&S sale has started. They have also added some new offers to Sparks, (mine are still rubbish!)

Top cashback have the £2 cashback on spends over £10 today.
Worth buying a voucher for if nothing else.

FPC25 currently gets you 25% of at Bunches who sell lovely flowers and gifts and have very helpful customer service. If you haven't got an account, there's a link on the referral thread to save £5 on your first order. Can also collect Posy points with orders which translates to cash off future orders.

Huge sale in m&s, up to 50% off!

Just got myself a duvet x

I vaguely recall someone’s child being obsessed with Moriah there is This plushy as well as some others in Argos clearance currently

Yalz · 02/06/2026 03:00

Boots - look both in the Clearance section and £10 Tuesday for lots of good offers today.

I’m not sure how long the clearance has been going as a lot is out of stock, but then two things I would have bought went out of my basket as I was still looking round the site so maybe some things are just selling quickly.

Some highlights: The Ordinary The Age Support Skincare Gift Set for £10, Boots DermaCare Ceramides Refining Serum 30ml for £4 (both have good reviews), Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Refining Moisture Cream Complex 75ml for £10 ( they say it’s normally £40) - and Tampax for £2.

Not very Christmassy but these are only £1.99 home bargains, battleship splash they are £17.99 on Amazon!

Is anyone else like me, thinking it's June already and I haven't got anything? 🙈

No sorry, I was literally just thinking “It’s only June and I’ve already got this and that and this and that.” 😂

Mostly stocking fillers, but one or two main presents as well thanks to this thread!

Theraffarian · 03/06/2026 15:38

I picked up lots of bargains in the January sales to put away for Christmas, but I’ve been using them for birthday presents for the last 5 months , so now nowhere near as organised as I thought I was !

I usually start around June to be fair, so you’ve got plenty of time! Since I found these threads I’ve just kept an eye on them and have a bit more than usual already in the cupboard. I couldn’t help being pleased with myself 😂

PumpkinSpicedTea · 04/06/2026 07:32

Can anyone recommend a Needoh type fidget style that is legit and not an unsafe sort of brand please? If that makes sense. Been looking on Amazon but struggling.

Or any other ideas for a birthday gift for a 9 year old that likes fidgets? I am clueless.

@pumpkinspicedtea Sensory Education https://share.google/qohlkSNw87oTUNqN1

I'm not sure why my link is weird but there's a site called sensory education, I've bought from them before as they had CE baby safe shaker eggs suitable from 6 months where most of the amazon ones looked a bit dodgy.

noscoobydoodle · 04/06/2026 22:11

Thrift.plus website is having a 10 for £10 clear out. You can search for new with tags, or by brand (or size). I've got a couple of bits to put away and stocked my older girls up with sportswear- Nike and under armour (not new but the pictures and description I have found in the past accurate and my girls don't mind second hand).

AmazingBees · 06/06/2026 20:30

Smyth's have Yoto adventure jackets for £6. Usually £15 - £20, so a great deal if you need one!

@AmazingBees you are a star. My little girl turns 4 this september and shes been a terror for stealing her brothers yoto's so I have it on her list as her main present this year. So far I have snapped up bluetooth headphones in £10 Tuesday at boots past week and then this so just the player and some cards to go. I bought my boys cheap skins of Temu as theyre so expensive so thrilled to get the real deal so cheap!! Thanks!!

It's worth checking see whether any of the cards are on Amazon Haul. Weirdly, I got a few much cheaper via one of their offers. Very limited selection, though!

Bluey Crayola light up stamper. Down to £8.78 on Amazon.
it says reduced from £30, but it is currently £12.99 at Smyths. So still a good deal

My daughter, who is allergic to cow’s milk, loves the animal version of these - so these are a great deal for her. BB 23/12/26, but will do for December.PLAYIN CHOC 6 CHRISTMAS GIFT SET
