@lemoncurdcupcake my Plouise order is taking a little while too. I placed it on Friday, it said it was dispatched on Monday but it’s still not showing in the Royal Mail tracking 🤔

Thank you to whoever said about the moonpig gifts. My Cath Kidston boxes arrived and are fantastic value. Unfortunately now sold out as I went back to get more!

Ordered a set of 4 dock and bay towels on amazon prime. £69 - absolute bargain!
plannjng on splitting them and gifting them to various people.
Also bought myself a scrabble set for just over £10.

I would imagine PLouise have found themselves mysteriously inundated with orders and now have a backlog. Hopefully o/s orders will be despatched soon.

Re: The bargain micellar water.

I tried it and oh my goodness, the smell. It’s just like burned sugar/toffee apples. I hate to think of the chemicals involved in creating it, but it’s weirdly and impressively accurate. I hate products that smell like food, so can’t say I am a fan, (but then I am NOT the target demographic plus, you know, FREE 😹)

Sometimes they also do 20% off when you trade in (irrespective of the trade in value of the item).

Thank you so much.
Just done this. A few stocking fillers and maybe a gift for myself in that mystery box lol

Does anyone remember the elemis offer on qvc last year on these threads?
The one where you got a free elemis gift? Got it for my mil who is now a major fan and is requesting more elemis this year but can't seem to find any similar offers with the free gifts.

Can someone tell me how they are getting 30% off Amazon Haul? I have a load of things i want but when I go to check out all it shows is free P&P. Is there a code? (I have Prime)

I order it every year, just checked my email order and I ordered on 3rd November last year.

Sorry to be jumping on here with a request and not a bargain. If anyone finds any bargains for books, classics, Agatha Christie or YA that are fancier than the normal paperback, then I would be incredibly grateful.
I looked at the recent Waterstones and Harper Collins deals but couldn’t see what I was after.

You have to put PRIME30 code in at checkout- took me a while to find out where you put it as it says codes but takes you to your saved cards but there is then a bit to add codes.

THank you!

I've had a dispatch notice today- at last!

Thank you, will wait until around then. 😊

Someone was asking on the previous thread about deals on benefits mascara, this set ( mascara, brow setter & blush) has 40% off with code wow today only.

I have found beautiful copies of classic novels in TKmaxx. Obviously tends to be random what they have but they do always seem to have a variety.

@HippeedippeemeeThis is the Next Christmas diffuser on Moonpig that’s on special. Looks nice but can get quite a few at that price point I feel. https://www.moonpig.com/uk/gifts/p/next-orange--patchouli-100ml-diffuser/home1058/

In still catching up but in case no one said. I’ve found if you look in your basket the item isn’t reduced. But search for it again or click it again and look in the site it might be. So then re add to basket. Thats Amazon btw.

I second this, mine had some beautiful classics, hardback though but so nice, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and loads of others.

I bought this for my MIL the other week, the hardback is half price on Amazon

@FragileWitch Have a look at the Clothbound Classics in Waterstones....then buy the ones you fancy brand new for half price or less on Vinted

Benefit 40% off with code wow. Not sure if it’s just on a benebingo set which looks nice but I haven’t fully investigated as am making dinner!

If anyone has young teens easily influenced by TikTok, mine have asked for bellavita EDT. Apparently friends have it and it smells nice…

3FOR40 gets 3 items for £40 (saved me £70, got a full size fragrance each and a £40 sample pack to split)

Or if you need less, WELCOME10 is 10% off

Been offered the full amount but in credit on the account. I'm not used to complaining 😅 shall I take the credit? If I refuse am likely to end up with nothing? It's like shopping deal or no deal ...

Would take me a long while to spend that much at moonpig.
