You are all wonderful and I’m now going back to my mince pie and stollen (never too early!).

Crocs slippers, could I just ask if they have arch support?

can someone share the baby born codes again please ? Got my youngest a baby Annabelle and hoping the clothes might fit
ETA nevermind I found them ☺️

I've gone back and ordered more. This time I noticed on checkout that there were 2 packing options. The default is "reduce packaging, dispatch in manufacturers container". The other choice is "Hide what's inside, dispatch in Amazon packaging"

Ordinarily I'm buying for my own use and welcome less packaging, but at this time of year a lot of my purchases are gifts, so I'll need to choose the latter option. I wouldn't mind, but the packer seemed to go for all the options available - 1 in a box, 1 in an envelope and 1 with a label - when it would have been better to pack all 3 candles together in 1 box or 1 envelope 🤷‍♀️

I doubt it, they're pretty flat. DS2 has them, not me, & I don't suppose he'd be looking for that (doesn't care about much 🙄😆).

I swore I was not coming back on these threads this year ...I do not need any bargains...I am not going to buy anything...

Seems like I was wrong !! 😁😁
..I had a look at thread

I've got sensitive skin and swear by the weleda baby face cream and Clinique moisture surge. Shame about Averno as their balms are lovely.

@Fuckingfuckssake you need the unfurgettable style to get croc shoes but in slipper form- they are amazing but haven’t reduced by much yet. I did get a pair for £25.19 delivered in November last year so am hoping to get them again this year!

I can’t seem to get the shipping code to work for starfish project! Keeps saying code isn’t valid. Anyone else had the same problem?

Ignore above comment! When I’ve gone to next page of checkout somehow it’s taken off the £5 shipping cost 💕

What is Starfish please?

Not sure if it's just luck but I find that when I tick the dispatch in amazon package box it's less likely to be an item that's been returned and resold too!

Camel camel camel suggests this is the lowest price it has ever been on amazon.
