Benefit Price Glitch? Get 3 products for £2.98! Via Boots on Uber Eats

Just go to Uber Eats > Search Boots > Search for 'Beneift'

be quick as it’s a glitch!

I have both those @Rose785, they're actually really nice and not cheap or gaudy looking. I'm sure your daughter will love them for years to come.

(although I'm cursing you now I have the 'snowmen party dancing' tune in my head on a sunny July afternoon! ☃️ )

Are they really big? Wondering whether to get some too as I think both my girls would love them

One hundred stars have their sale. Some nice bits.

Amazing glad you managed to get in!

They're big but not huge and fairly lightweight so easy to move where you want them. Snowman is about 2ft tall and Snowdog about a foot.

I usually have ours on the porch windowsill which is maybe 9 inches deep and they fit nicely on that (standing on a fluffy white cotton wool type pad to look like snow 🤭). While they are quite lightweight they're not flimsy or easily falling over either.

Snowman is mains but the Snowdog is battery which means positioning his wire and little battery box out of sight (under the cotton wool snow for me) but easy to do.

Their boxes are sturdy for packing away each year too, ours must be at least 10 years old now!

For anyone doing stockings, etc, for men/teen boys, I picked up this Boss set from Home Bargains. The packaging says ‘travel exclusive’ so might not be good to hand over as a single gift at Xmas but split up will be fine. home.bargains/product/e6e11557-75c0-43f2-98d0-9300aab0c7fc/hugo-boss-bottled-gift-set-4x10ml

This is a good bargain as they're a good size for chucking in college bag. The Hugo Boss scents are actually really nice too. Thanks

Hey unfortunately not, it was a glitch and fixed by about 4pm

Bohomoon’s £10 sale is back. Great for pretty, non-tarnish jewelry.

They do small bracelets too, great for younger kids and adults with little wrists.

For anyone in Ireland Dubray books have Jellycats slightly cheaper than elsewhere, WEL25 gives 15% off (it's for first orders so might not work if you've ordered before), and shipping is free in Ireland. I've just ordered the Amuseables Mulshi Woodland Floor my niece wants for her birthday for €29.74 including delivery. It would have been €46 from the Jellycat website or Brown Thomas etc.

for those with Harry Potter fans, HBDH25 takes 25% off most things at The Harry Potter Shop. valid till Aug 2, but only one use per person

Zimpli Gingerbread bath bombs are currently £1.78 on Amazon - good stocking fillers for little ones.

Needsomethingtoread · 31/07/2026 14:55

Just bought the cosmopolitan box from boots. My niece is going to be chuffed. I may have to have a few of the bits out of it for me though.

There are a few different Xmas pjs on sale at George. Not many sizes though.

£1.85 any good?

Brilliant! Thank you!

My nearest John Lewis had lots of family board games suitable for Xmas reduced instore in the sale today. They also had some Xmas stuff.

For some reason they also had loads of heavily reduced champagne and Laithwaite’s wine boxes in the sale section as well. (These must have been in a cupboard somewhere, because they certainly weren’t on the shelf when I was last in there!)

They also had some World Cup LEGO, but I couldn’t tell if this was reduced, (probably not).

My autistic DD7 is obsessed with cats, has anyone seen any bargains on anything a young cat lover would adore? Or any suggestions of things that are a must have to include in the gifts please?

Not a bargain at this price but I paid closer to £10 from Amazon, my daughter loved this book, descriptions of the different breeds with lovely drawings

These fox sylvanian families seem like a good price. Delivery not until end of August though www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0BNL8F5XB?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image
