Thanks for this! 2 sets coming- DS2 & DNeph. Magic 👍.

Very are usually really good price wise. It was exactly where I got DS3's last year. 20% off if you can be bothered to sign up for an account. Good if you need other things. I did it for the PS5 last year & saved a lot. Although a PP mentioned they've excluded PS5s this year, sadly, still great deal for other stuff you may need - I got PS5 games/ Switch games/ PJs/ branded clothes for my older boys etc.

I’m in the same position, usually I’d be happy to check out any deals but I need to just get what I need for Christmas. I actually found the last prime day a but rubbish too.

Genuinely good price for this new botanicals Lego - especially with the voucher

Thanks for this. I used bluelight discount so got the misti with 3 oils plus another 2 oils from the £2 Tuesday section for £32. Little gift from me to me!

Please note I ordered this on Saturday and have since received an email to say there’s a delay with my order, assume they have had a huge influx!

I wanted to treat myself to a new kindle (current one is inherited, battery is rubbish and now I can't download new books). Was all set to buy a new kindle but the paperwhite isn't on offer. Presumably this is because a new one is being released end of Oct? No idea but it's still too expensive.
Also amazon hasn't reduced the Lego minerals set. Grr

I’ve had a request for Glossier You perfume as a gift. Any ideas on where the best bargains are to be found please?

Thank you, went to order and it’s out of stock so will keep an eye on it

Does anyone have a unidays code for Plouise that they can PM me please 🙏 my DD is after the blue raspberry bundle so 20% off would make a big difference 😊

24 Crayola Supertips felt tip pens down to £2.75

They’re showing as £9 for me!

Looking at buying a PS5, such a shame it’s not in the Very offer any more! If anyone would be willing to DM me an Argos code I would be really grateful! Or point me in the direction of any other deals around? Thank you!

They're all looking around the same everywhere right now , £519. They'll fall, just hold your nerve.

https://amzn.eu/d/0bvANdiF this looks a good potion kit!

Glossier used to do a blanket 20% off on Black Friday (this was a couple of years ago). Space NK also sell it so any discounts there should work on the perfume. Also TK Maxx sometimes stock Glossier online but I’ve never seen the perfume.

Just a little starfish update - I was one of the later orders (21st) and messaged them to check in about the order. I had a really lovely email back. After the normal apology/ high volume of orders thing, this is what they said -

Fortunately, we're in the final stretch of our warehouse sale orders, so yours will be shipped out any day now. We sincerely apologize for the long wait but appreciate your patience. If instead you would like to be refunded for any or all the items, please let us know.

I’m really impressed. Great customer service, assuming the products are good, I will order again.

I ordered on the 20th and still nothing. I got the generic response when I chased today offering for me to cancel 😞

Well, that's reassuring. I ordered on the 19th & nothing yet. It was a large order, so hoping I still get the majority of it. I too got a generic response last week.

We have that and can recommend! Lots of different ingredients to add to the little jars and a "recipe" sheet.

I’ve PM’d you

Me too! Would love to get the ones we’re missing for 75p.
@BargainChristmas any tips?

Terry's chocolate orange 95p at Tesco from tomorrow until Sunday. Says valid for delivery, but presumably in-store too.

I was looking for something else and saw this on The Works online. Might be useful for someone!
