🎄 Emoji to copy if required for posting bargains as some agree this makes deals easier to spot.

Will request this is deleted if someone more official beats me to it or if Reastie returns!

I was told im being refunded for the jeans but have only been refunded half the cost for some reason so keep an eye on it
My ulster weavers orders have arrived. Got duvet sets, bath towels, hand towels, tea towels and mugs and really happy with all of it. Such a brilliant bargain.

@MerylSqueak - if you can get to a Futon Company store they often have one or two bargain beds available as ex display/sale stock.

At my ‘local’ they had one the other week for £149 reduced from £499. It’s very hit and miss, though, so you could always try phoning them first.

Really? Mine were £3.40 so will check it goes through.

Does anyone know the cheapest way to get Bloom & Wild letterbox Christmas trees? Is it most the £10 referral?

This is apparently a good price in Costco £29ish with VAT came with the player and 4 balls

These heated throws seems very barginous too!

I have had a message from Amazon saying that my croc slippers are being delayed, has anyone else had this message? I am assuming I got the idea for them from this thread 🤣

Hey lovelies!
looking for a good replica football shirt site!
recommendations please!
i’ve seen https://footballsbest4u.com
does anyone have any reviews about these? Xxx

So mine were 6.97 and they refunded me 3 48. Because its a 3rd party seller Amazon cant refund you, they have to contact the seller and if they don't respond you have to file a claim. Im sure theyre thinking people won't be bothered with that and they'll just make a lot of money from the scam but im going to see it through so please everyone do check if youre getting refunds. I should have known better than to chance it, I think pretty much all of those too good to be true clothing deals on amazon are scams

@XiCi @WimbyAce I just checked and have been refunded in full.

If you don't mind Temu they have lots of different ears, tshirts, jumpers bags etc

I think there was 3 for 2 or something last year so I got it for more than one person

@Bumblebeesince19 we bought themed lanyards which the kids loved having their magic passes in. I got one as I have a disability so had a priority pass, was useful for me not to have to keep getting it out.
Prinark did do some shoulder pals as well. But have seen those on Ali express.
We gave our kids a budget, they could buy whatever they wanted but it had to come out of that money. This meant they were alot more choosy. They did buy a set of chip and Dale teddies between which they love. They were the winter themed ones and come as a pair.
Also look out for deals in the shops there. They have some if you buy before a certain time you get something free. Or if you spend x you get something free or discounted.

Mens fragrance gift sets are on offer on Superdrug website- Rabanne, Boss, JPG, website is on and off, best to order to store for collection

@Bumblebeesince19just to flag there is no descendants merch or references in the park (or extremely little) so that the merch id focus on. You can get mal’s spell book that might be something to keep them busy on whilst you travel?

Thats good x

I contacted Tipi about the marshmallow toasting tins that were listed on one of the last threads - I bought some on 15th and hadn’t had any order updates or even a confirmation email, only a PayPal receipt.

They said they had had to increase delivery times as they had increased demand (that’s us 😁 we did that) and that my order should be sent out by the end of this week. Just thought I’d share in case anyone else was wondering!

@PurpleSock another vote for the bath barista, we also have she oven thing but that is barely touched whereas the barista is going strong like 4 years in…I didn’t actually realise how long we have had it until just now, prob should replace it at some point 🤣

I used them last year, adult one was perfect, literally identical to official one. Kids one up close you could tell as sleeves weren’t as stiff at the end, but child hasn’t noticed, and I think I only did as I had an official to compare to. Both washed really well.

Has anyone got any recommendations for a tablet for Grandparents? They currently have an Amazon one, but the battery is awful and wouldn’t want another one. Not sure they will use it enough to warrant iPad prices.

I agree about Tomy barista bath set, no mould and still regularly used at 8 years old!

🎄 Baileys also £9.97 in Morrisons 🥃

I've seen posts before about spicery kits, never paid much attention, but I'm trying to find something for my hard to buy for (although ofc he would disagree 🫪) partner. He likes a curry but doesn't cook often but I was thinking maybe it could be a date night option? What do we think? Any suggestions and offers?

Thank you so much! Xxx

I have this it’s very good. Bought one for my son too as his student flat is chilly. You can order them online too
