I'm being tight, for Whistlefish, is it just the offers listed on the site or is there something else? Spent ages choosing cards but the postage is putting me off checking out.

Would a business account with Amazon get you a better deal?

Thank you

That sounds more promising! It's so long since I've bought a stamp I forgot they even have bar codes 😂

Aw I love this but I can’t see it on the store anymore 😭

Same! Let me know what they say 🤞

My PLouise order came in two boxes. The mystery bag had the free bad bitch energy in it along with a lip conditioner, and the other box had a body scrub in it which obviously should have been in the gift bag instead. Just a heads up to those who might think they’re missing something- double check the other box first.

I think it sold out 😢

@ExtraordinaryBush I have put a link on the referral thread where you can get £5 for first order...should cover postage. Looks like it's a free notebook over £20 spend this weekend with 10 cards for £12. Lovely quality thick cards

@BlixemThank you. I will check their website.

Apologies but I can't work out how to search within a thread. Can anyone please repost the link to the wax melt holders? Or suggest a cheap and cheerful alternative? Thanks!

@Dontknowwhattodo21 thank you x

thank you I will check the website. It is always good to get personal experience.

Oops….late check in to the new thread! Thank you @Reastie 🙏

If anyone can help please? Son has asked for a very specific present

A cuddly toy that he can cuddle and sings our two special songs. These songs are approx. 2 mins for the first, and 30 seconds for the other. He wants me to sing (i'd ask for singing lessons, but there isn't enough time to sort this voice out)

Any suggestions for a cuddly that has a long enough recorder (build a bear etc are out as lots are 30 secs only) AND looks like the advertised picture? Seen some lovely rabbits with photo ears, but the received pictures in the reviews are awful)

Could you buy two voice recorders and sew them into separate paws etc of a toy he would love? Amazon etc sell them.

The problem with recommending a seller is that they often only have one or two of each item, so if I suggest one company I’ll probably have bought from them leaving fewer things for anyone else.

It’s easier in subsequent sales, especially if you sign up for a seller’s newsletter as it possibly means you get to shop earlier (and get the best offers before 10am on Saturday, or for some you can at least put the things you want in your basket and then check them out at the bargain price when the sale goes live.

So, perhaps for another year if not this one - I’ve bought from these makers either this year or in the past, or they look interesting.

WildFringe -jewellery and concrete items, including Lucky Dip earrings where you get a pair for £2:50, when the listing firmly implies are normally £16:50.

Willow Leather - leather goods, including these small jewellery items, £9 each pair , now £3.

Hanne Rysgaard ceramics, including milk jugs which are the same shape as ordinary paper ones. They may have matching mugs, too.

CroucherLi has ceramics, some with faces.

PetiteClayPatisserie has fun micro-sized items which can be worn on a necklace, keychain, earrings and so on. I’ve been buying from this seller for several seasons and have always been pleased with what I received.

In the past I’ve bought from GN Jewellery, Rhian Kate, Abilu Creations and Danielle East Art.

Apologies, I’ve only had time to look at jewellery.

Amazon do a recording device upto 2 min long. Sorry I can’t see what the soft toy you want looks like.

Could you do a build a bear with the 30sec recording then ask them to place the additional one in? Or buy your own build a bear set for your DS to make at home. They regularly get reduced on Amazon.

We got one for my SIL last year with the Tiffany blue lining then added to it for her birthday. I love it and so did she it was a great present. I kept them in my basket on amazon and very and watched the price but cant actually remember if I got any discount. I'll find it in my order on amazon and do the price history for you.
