Not an offer, but can't fault our kipsta goal from decathlon. Sturdy, easy to move when mowing, still looks as good as new. @ElizabethBennetsFineEyes

Stoov chair liner is not remotely bargainous but is delightful! I have that on my chair, and a heated foot warmer for my toes and a heated mouse mat too. I don’t need them all on simultaneously, or indeed, constantly, but they are all individually brilliant and I even take the stoov in the car sometimes on long journeys as I get chilly but no one else does!

copy the code when it first comes up and remove the code from basket til you reach the final checkout page then re add it

Thank you, finally got it to work!

@superstar63Sorry can’t comment on how good it is as I got it to give with the flower book as a Christmas present

Anyone got any leads on football goals for gardens??

We have a quickplay one, not particularly cheap but very sturdy and has lasted really well in all weathers and easy to move.

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?

DH likes Bawbags. Cool designs and I think they give money to testicular cancer too.

Any suggestions for a stationary home office worker who is perpetually freezing? Have previously bought merino thermals, a fleecey hoodie, a snuggly thing to put their feet into and cashmere fingerless gloves. They also have an oil heater in there but they're still always saying they're cold the minute the weather turns 🙄

Am considering a heated hoodie, or chair warmer or something?! Or open to other suggestions from those who may be similar.

I have a heated throw that comes out for Winter homeworking. They often come up on this thread!

Carrie76 · 04/10/2026 21:03

@lemoncurdcupcake I got DH a heated mouse mat after a recommendation on here. He no longer has to wear gloves, it’s nice and long so keeps his hands warm. Like this mouse mat

I considered a throw but I don't think he'd sit with a throw over his knees in the office.

Mum on the other hand frickin loves hers I got courtesy of this thread last year 😁

Ooooo! Thanks. That might be more in budget that the gilets i was just browsing

@N96 I've just looked and the candy grabber has gone from the website now, so sorry.

That's a shame. Mind yiu, DH said exactly the same about both Oodies and heated throws, ans now sees both as winter essentials!

lemoncurdcupcake · 04/10/2026 21:21

@N96 @Focussingonme I found them cheaper somewhere else...I feel like it was the range online. Linked it in the last thread but can't find it in my history now. Same brand as Debenhams. Worth shopping around.

Iiiiiiiinteresting!

Maybe one to keep up my sleeve for future as I feel this will be a running theme of presents. Every year I'm buying something warming for the office 😅🤣

Has anyone here bought the Home Alone lego house, either new or I'm considering buying a second hand one because there's a pretty big price difference. If you have, any do and don'ts, is eBay an ok place to buy it?

I bought ours on zavvi for about £230 last year, and used Quidco or top cash back which got it down to £215.

be careful on eBay that the box deffo says Lego, there are some v good fakes, or if it’s second hand, does it really have every piece? Most second hand Lego I’ve bought is always missing something. Check you have all the mini figs.

Tequilamockinbird · 04/10/2026 21:31

Star Wars R2D2 Lego down to £61.99 (with voucher) on Amazon. The voucher price should show just underneath the pre-discounted price.

I am dithering over the perfume offers on Boots. I bought some much later last year and I imagine I saved more but I can’t find any proof so might be my imagination!

There are some perfumes in the prime pre sale.

Whatthecluckingcluck · 04/10/2026 21:53

I’ve just signed up to the Not on the High Street Membership.
it’s down to £5 with code N&M50. Apparently you you get an extra 10% off
i I figured that for £5 and with the fact I always get at least one present from them, it is worth the £5.
Discount code ends at midnight.

Fireside10 · 04/10/2026 21:55

Anyone ordering from Whistlefish they have good sized tins on sale for £3, can be used for gifts or just to store cards. I've also got a free notebook.

NotMeekNotObedient · 04/10/2026 22:13

@Playingshops
Thanks for the Bathe Enchanted reccomendation. I didn't see anything in the sale for me but love the bath bombs. Definitely going to order some for kids presents. Lots of Disney inspired stuff as well as other popular books/films/tv shows/games.

Nordic Socks keep your feet lovely and warm and I think they currently have a deal on

Londonmummy66 · 04/10/2026 22:22

Just another heads up re Whistlefish that there are a lot of threads around saying that they rip designers off and then sell their stuff with no credit to them. It is not a nice business.
