I'm building a viral beauty present for my sister but my issue is I don't know what's viral 🤣 so far I've got some plouise, body spray, medicube prdn mask and daise shower whip. Any ideas what else I could add?!

🎄 justmylook have up to 70% off medicube and free delivery over £25

How old is she and what’s your budget?

In case anyone hasn’t checked their JL Rewards, there are quite a lot of Xmas events available to book, including make up and craft sessions.

If anyone is planning on booking the JL tea party with Santa event, (not exactly a bargain), these are selling out fast, so it would be better to book sooner rather than later.

Speaking of JL, I didn’t understand why there were so many threads criticising the Xmas advert , but I have just watched it and I do now - what on earth were they thinking???

I’ve seen it. What’s wrong with it exactly?

My DD is keen on the marshmallows because she intended to split them up - you can’t do that with the s’mores. I know that’s not helpful sorry 🤣🤣

just to flag the marshmallows are also joined together, although just by some string so I suppose you could cut them. I think the s’mores are more of a limited edition, whereas the marshmallows come in and out of stock all the time, if that makes any difference to you

IlovePond · 04/11/2026 18:24

@Donsyb - sorry, didn’t mean to derail the thread - I liked the rollalong dog - disliked the appalling behaviour of the kids.

The advert itself is fully of pretty colours and I quite fancy a disco room myself.

Some of the items featured in the advert are linked on the Rewards section of the app, under the advert - which is useful.

I was hoping for a 10/20% off Xmas decs to go with it, but nothing useful in my Rewards!

PearlsTeapot · 04/11/2026 18:29

I liked the advert.

I'm on the landing page for the £1 oodie sale. Feel there's no chance but worth a try! Let us know if anyone gets one!

@Moonlightfrog 🎄the Shrek lego Is £93.99 at very. I treated myself!

Sorry- getting confused- I want fingerless cashmere gloves with a little thumb one, not just a slit. Where from please?

I juggle and my dad teaches it for a living, id go for a brand like Oddballs, juggle dream or cascade. They're good quality and have a good weight to them. Maybe something like these or do a search for Oddballs. Not sure of any deals currently though, I haven't looked

Good luck to everyone trying for an oodie! Must remember to sign up next year. Quite fancy one of their blankets

Is this the heated under blanket you were looking at? Only king size though (although more like a normal double)

EXTRACARE2026 for an extra 15% off. I bought 2 blankets £12.75 each (free delivery) and they are lovely. I've had mine on my bed each night since arriving and been able to turn the heating off. Well worth it for that price. They are small so king-size is perfect for a double bed.

Thank you!
On the Firetoy website, I found Zipstring which looks fab for my very intelligent and very lovely teenage ADHD grandson.
BUT, is the string too long too use indoors?
Thanks in advance to @KG1145 or others in the know.

Has anyone seen the Funko Pop Nightmare Before Christmas advent calendar at a bargain price by any chance?! Or know if they typically drop at any point? Thanks

I got a pair from The White Company. Was a couple of years ago but i think they still stock them

ay30916 · 04/11/2026 19:08

@MsHybridFanGirl it’s only super king left. My kids have small double beds. Would it matter much if it was a bit too big?

PearlsTeapot · 04/11/2026 19:10

No luck on oodie sale for me, the one thing I wanted to get DS and now I'm gonna have to pay a fortune!

Just double checked order details and mine are super king. They don't even cover my pillow area (they cover about 3/4 of a normal double bed) so I think it's worth a chance for that price! Can always return if too big

ay30916 · 04/11/2026 19:14

@MsHybridFanGirlyes it’s a mega bargain!

No luck for me either, i thought i was being smart putting it in my basket. But it made me wait 7 minutes to checkout to find i did it wrong, it wasnt £1 and by then it sold out annoying!

xOlive · 04/11/2026 19:19

I got bitch slapped right out of the Oodie website. I was sat there, waiting for an hour, the page didn’t “automatically” do bloody anything 😂 I refreshed and all hell broke loose.

Sasha07 · 04/11/2026 19:20

Oodie £1 sale was ridiculous. I was watching the clock, got on instantly, it wouldn't let me put a single thing in my cart. That was all within 10 seconds! Kept saying my cart was empty while showing the icon that it was in my cart 😒

PearlsTeapot · 04/11/2026 19:21

Mine let me add it to my cart, then said 18 mins to checkout. The clock ticked down and after 5 mins it said sold out.
