Thread 3 - the one where things get serious

[Reastie]

All my plans at getting organised in the last thread left me as I realised the thread with referrals was already up and running, so the one I set up I'll link to once the current one runs out!

Welcome one and all to this safe, warm and fuzzy place for people to share discounts, bargains and Christmas gift ideas both online and IRL. Please note the tone and intention of the thread and join with spirit as generous as DC helping themselves to the Christmas chocolate celebrations .

Sorry to sound thick. Is this the website? Or a code I don't know??

You know who’s website

link here 😊 the extra 10% has now ended but still bargain prices anyway. YKWDELIVERY gives free delivery when spending over £20 I think. Saving £4.99

Sorry. I’ve only just come back on.
I pour the wax off when it stops smelling. You can move the light bit up and down for small candles. I love it - not many things my teenager and twenties offspring and I all like 😂😂

Anyone else starring at their feet wondering if they could squeeze them into a size 6 boot that you do not need, nor have the horse for but just so you get the bargain buzz???!!!

I can also recommend these so you can use it for wax melts as well.

They've just cancelled my Tikki Surf/Mountain Warehouse order for the boots ☹️

It's probably for the best seeing as I haven't ridden a horse for about 20 years and I have size 5 feet 😂

Does anyone know of a bargain/discount on a hot chocolate maker? A couple of years ago I got a Dualit one from Argos with a combination of nectar points and discount code - it's great but Argos are no longer selling them

Thank you so much to the original poster re: bloom and wild jellycat and shortbread. It arrived today and I now have two perfect gifts for two different recipients :)

Which one was this please?

paint sticks but for the bath reduced to £5 perfect stocking filler for DD

@MeadowTeaordered it a few weeks ago now but an offer for a jellycat and some shortbread for
£25 - the jellycat alone retails for £45!

Does anyone have a picture of the contents of the crystals advent calendar, and also, how do yo actually buy one?

I take back what I said about not purchasing from the Starfish Project again. My order finally arrived today - beautifully boxed and all in order. The jewellery is lovely and I'm very happy with it.

I’ve also just placed a Plouise order I don’t need 👀

Did the 3 for £18 and I think managed to find three things that don’t say bitch which will hopefully be suitable for my 9 year old. Two micellar waters, the mystery bag and the lip freebie for £16.30 including postage. Thanks to the PP who posted the detailed instructions!

Drat!
Just thought I'd found the perfect gift for my neighbours with the hampers.
Spent ages picking one. Managed to use the 20% off.
Filled in all my details to find they don't ship to my address, even though I live in the U.K. 😞

Also, I can't believe that I have shopped at P.Louise 3 times this week! Managed to get the free micellar water each time. One of my orders also arrived today - the Cheetah Claw & Restore Hand care set. I only really wanted it for the brown hand sanitiser bottle, and thought i'd gift the other items, but I love it all - it smells lovely (imo - sort of coconut and sugar but not too sweet). I've gone back and ordered more today. I got 20% off each order using a Unidays code - there are discounts for students, teachers, carers and blue light holders.

I'm in awe of Paige Louise Williams - I had a sense that she knows what it's like to be skint from some of the P.Louise offers, budget boxes, £1 postage and generous discount codes, so have been reading up a bit. The girl from Droylsden has done good! I love her work ethic and determination. Her products were of no interest to me at all (until the micellar freebie!). I had just brushed them off as cheap fluffy products for teens and influencers, but I was wrong.

@RubynRita
Laithwaite's do some nice hampers, alcoholic or otherwise. There are links on the referral thread to get 40% off first order over a certain amount can pre book for dates ahead.

@VikingNorthUtsire yep, that's definitely what I'm imagining 😂

@Goingincirclesstill, many thanks for this. I'll keep an eye out for Lathwaites.

My second starfish purchase has just been sent out. Fingers crossed they are finally working through everything. The items are worth the wait.

Just over 50 replies to go till the end of the thread @Reastie xx

Just got a notification that my Starfish order has been dispatched! 🥳

Anyone else not had their £1 jumper cancelled yet?

Obviously I know it is going to get cancelled but I can't help holding out a teeny thread of hope 😂

When I click on my Starfish order I just get directed to a page of code. This is an unwelcome new development- the other day that link took me to a page that said my order was waiting to be processed!

Still no update for my starfish order to say it’s been dispatched 😕

On a brighter note the super seconds festival is this weekend! Yay 🥳
