From memory i think it was 60OFFLAST

Thanks so much
I tried it but says invalid so think I faffed around so much it’s not working now

Got what I think is a decent deal from Abbott and Lyon on some jewellery - with 4 bracelets and a necklace for £94.
Had a necklace for DD at £79 and a bracelet at £59 in my basket, but code 2FOR1 made the bracelet free. I was then offered a free bracelet, priced at £49 and got another bracelet for £15 with a pop up. Will make 2 nice gifts for DD, who loves her jewellery, a wee present for in her home made advent calendar, and a present for my best friends DD

I went on kids > boys > all clothing and then filtered low to high. Lots more than usual came up for me

Ugh. I don’t know what to do. Anyone any experience of this, specifically Moonpig customer service? Do you think that they’ll argue it post delivery or be willing to arrange a return and refund if it is a short shelf life. I’ve screen shot the pages and, as a pp said, nowhere does it mention a short shelf life. It would explain the discount but I’m tempted to wait and see as it would 3 Christmas gifts sorted if they are okay.

Thank you to everyone for the ideas for “cheap” kids things! I’ve bought the K pop cards, the workbench, the nail vanishes, the magic colouring books and a world puzzle so far . Keep them coming 😁

You just reminded me with the words “cheap” and “K-pop” - I saw some
kpop demon hunters mystery bags in b&m and decided to look on vinted to see if anyone had opened them so I could get the characters my DD might actually want rather than paying £6 a pop for maybe random characters she wouldn’t be interested in. I found someone selling loads off for £4 each, then I made an offer so I got 6 bags for £20 instead of £36 from b&m. It’s always worth looking there and searching for “new” - I’ve found a few bargains that way!

Boots have some great deals on fragrances at the moment, Just bought my 19 year old son and 16 year old son Hugo Boss Bottled Night 200ml eu de toilette for £50 each instead of £128 each and Calvin Klein Eternity Monment 100ml for my 11 year old daughter £39 instead of £98, massive saving of £215.

I don’t know if this has already been even posted but for people with teen or tween girls who like Iets Frans, Urban Outfitters have tops for £11 reduced from £46 https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/en-gb/shop/iets-frans-trip-hooded-short-sleeve-track-top2?color=041&searchparams=order%3DAscending%26q%3Diets%2520frans%2520tops%26sort%3DvisualVariants.nonvisualVariants.salePrice

Advice please on good places to buy the following - if not yet then closer to black Friday

• good quality boxers (fitted not loose)
• funny game/joke presents
• Craft kits for a 6 year old

Thank you for this. I got some magic gloves for winter walks to school and pjs for the Christmas Eve box.

The Works is always a hit with my crafty just turned 7 year old. If not, we usually get them from Amazon.

Brilliant thank you. I didn’t think of Amazon. I have just been looking on Stackers website.

sorry can’t seem to edit - but this should say three bracelets and a necklace for £94

Oh thank you! that actual top was on DNs Christmas list and I was holding out for a discount code! This is even better!

If you want decent craft sets then I would go for a brand. We have often had cheaper versions of things from the works and they haven't always been that good.
Galt toys do a range of things and come up on offer on Amazon sometimes or as 3 for 2 on Hobbycraft.
Mine also like aqua beads and hama beads when younger - probably aqua beads at that age.

@HopefulBeliever for crafts look at Baker Ross.

edited as I misquoted

I went to One Beyond for the first time today and they had two flavours of Chinese(?) Fanta, green apple and jasmine peach, for £1 each. Could make a good stocking filler or go into a hamper of exotic snacks.

I got some lovely craft sets from Hobbycraft recently and it was £5 off for new customers, and you get another £5 off for your birthday - I’m not sure if these stack if your birthday is close to the day you sign up?

Look for mens fitted bamboo boxer shorts. I know that amazon sell them and have a lot of deals on atm

They had calvin klein and Hugo boss fitted boxers on amazon at a discounted price a little while ago.

Did someone post a wooden construction bench for a toddler at £20 ?

Thought I saw it but can't find it now

Hollister website have buy 3 items or more and get 20% off of your whole basket.

It’s on Amazon. It’s £21 odd for prime members . Can’t do a link but it’s made by owl and fox I believe
