My moonpig order came and I LOVE the Cath Kidston tin - was such a good deal at £4.50. Want to order more but think the free delivery code has expired so £6 postage has put me off.

Was 1 year validity on the car driving experience I got.

The Mum theme candy kittens not such a good deal as 3 small bags and one goes off at the end of this month.

Overall was a great tip, thanks to the OP 🩷

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 got a chair warmer and rechargeable cushions from Stoov. Yes there are lots of cheap ones sold on Amazon but the reviews are always dodgy and the recharging of those no-name ones makes me nervous. Stoov are expensive but good quality

No I had the wrong code! DELIVEROFF still works.

Such a cute Christmas box with a card inlay and dice and playing cards in with the lip balm/hand cream. Think I’m done for teacher gifts and token ones this year so I must stop buying them 🫠

FancyKeyboard · 05/10/2026 10:55

Just bought the little CK tin and a slightly bigger CK bundle with the same tin in, using DELIVEROFF. That will work as one for mum, maybe one for SIL or random aunt (who is not always around at Christmas).

PLouise came today. Free mystery gift was another lip duo and a lip oil, so I've got far too much lip stuff but other than that, looks good for the price I had it for.

I’m trying to find these as they sound lovely, but the link takes me to the main site. Any advice?

My moonpig order arrived this morning, I also was disappointed with the short dates on the candy kittens sweets so I contacted customer service. I had ordered the best mum hamper and was going to gift it Xmas time but some of the sweets are expiring in just over a week.

They were really helpful and have refunded me for the sweets so can’t fault their customer service.

On another note, is anyone else STILL waiting to receive their starfish order? 🙈

Puffalicious · 05/10/2026 10:56

Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 £31 on Early Prime deal. Cheapest I've seen it. Think Fit 4 coming out soon, so probably why. I've ordered one.

My Moonpig order arrived today too and short dates on a couple of the candy kittens & the hotel chocolat drinks as expected. Refund for all three provided - I know what I will be eating & drinking this weekend 😂

I ordered two of the larger Cath Kidston bundles too & very impressed with the size and contents for the price.

Puffalicious · 05/10/2026 11:06

In my search for a fit device I thought this was rather nice. Code NEW20 gets 20% off taking it to £43.99 - choose click & collect for free delivery. The silver is £5 cheaper again. Full price Argos/ Currys

I've ordered to compare with the Galaxy Fit 3.

I can concur that the scribballs are great for the money. I ordered some last time they were posted.

Ah! sorry, hadn't previously clocked the September post by @Mustangsallyis 07/09/2026 12:42 🙈

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 05/10/2026 11:20

I’m on the hunt for either

  • charcuterie monthly subscription
  • fish monthly subscription
for Dad - I got him the Braycured on last year and he loved the concept but the product was a bit crap, has anyone used any before that may do a Black Friday deal or similar?
YummyNomo · 05/10/2026 11:48

Thanks so much for the moonpig tip. The CK boxes are brilliant and will be fab teacher gifts 😊

sillygoof · 05/10/2026 11:57

Does anyone have any advice on sizing on Iets Frans clothing (PS thanks for posting the urban outfitters bargains). DD is a 10/12 but I expect her to grow more in the next year and probably have boobs by next summer, so not sure whether to go M or L.

It only works with 2 or more gifts and I had to add it twice as it somehow got taken off the first time I tried it.

ClaudeWhelan · 05/10/2026 12:24

I think P.Louise might be cracking down on giving the extras. My order had two micellar waters and a crystal lip thing plus the mystery bag and purchased item on it. The order definitely went through but only the bag, one micellar water and the item I ordered were on the confirmation email and that’s what was in the box, which has just arrived. I’m happy as it was still a good bargain, thank you to the original poster and everyone who posted the advice on how to add all the codes!
