Can anyone with tween or younger teen girls advise me please, which Uggs are the ones to have? Assuming they are still popular. Is it the mini's? Or are the trainers in too? What about leopard print and patterned styles? Seen some with the sun stitch pattern but not sure...

@ChristmasJumperz tasman's are popular with all the tweens/teens I know. And me. They're so comfy!

Does anyone know if this is all varieties or just the milk? I am only after dark or toffee and at the full price I will be going without

No. They're also on offer but £1.80

Sainsburys also had chocolate oranges for £1.80 with a nectar card today. I bought a dark chocolate one!

My DH has asked what I would like for Christmas, I would like something for my fibromyalgia. I suffer really bad from the cold and currently wearing the Uniqlo extra heat under layers and not warm enough.

Does anyone have any ideas for gifts for myself?

IlovePond · Yesterday 17:48

@ChristmasMad1 - heated gilet? Foot hot water bottle? Heated socks? Wraparound h/w bottle?

I’ve got a heated body warmer, heated gloves and a heated scarf. Also a heated blanket for on the sofa. Teddy bear pjs and bedding.

Did someone not post a heated shoulder throw the other day? I thought it looked great.

I too am delighted with my order. Books are the best gift.

My Story Orchestra Swan Lake book arrived from Amazon & it's stunning. Thanks to the OP for that.

This is a little niche but Liga have some lovely homeware and bits reduced.
It’s a family run eco conscious company, so would make great gifts for people who are into that kind of thing. They are very nice quality items. I’ve seen them in John Lewis before.

I’ve had my eye on some cork striped placements and coasters from there so am pleased to have got them heavily reduced.
https://loveliga.com/collections/summer-sale
They have some beautiful looking cup and bowl sets, and card holders and tea towels, plus magnets and bits for £1.
IMNEW10 code worked with sale items and I think it’s free delivery over £40.

OH I love cork stuff! I remember watching a segment on TV about how using cork is great for the environment.

Oh good. Still no dispatch update from , The Moodie Store’ and was starting to get worried

I ordered the sale bits for myself at lunchtime when I was short on time. I’ve since perused the site a bit more and some of the full price products are still very reasonable. And it’s all gorgeous!

Speaking of Costco… as a relative Costco newbie-arse, are there any annual Christmas delights to be had there, apart from the bonkers garden decorations?

Lots! It’s great for toys, books, gift sets, Christmas food. Lifesize Santa Claus and massive Christmas trees 😂

I saw this for £10 in The Works yesterday. I absolutely loved the paper dress up dollies as a child and for a moment was seriously tempted to buy it for myself. I resisted, but I might cave!

I think this brand of sticker book is brilliant so I bet this advent calendar will be good too
(As a side note I hate the 555 stickers sticker books!)

Realfastfoodie · Yesterday 19:58

Just a mention for Rymans. I popped in there for something boring for me but spotted a kids range - they had a whole section of cheap and cheerful crafting supplies - most items around £1.50, including fun scissors, gem stones, glittery things etc. Basically the same kind of thing you would pay 2-3 times the amount for in Baker Ross or similar. Worth a check if you are going past.

Hi al, I don't suppose someone could help me with the Mountain Warehouse code? Can't find it anywhere!
