Not a bargain as such (but i think the price is quite reasonable). For those hard to buy people who are keen readers its worth checking out Persephone Books. They publish lovely copies of out of print books and if you contact them they can recommend titles. They also have a recommendations page here

I just received a couple for my birthday and they were my favourite present.

I agree, these feel like great presents be a of the quality of the editions and the novels themselves are well chosen. They are fussy about what they publish.

My recipient was delighted with her Billie Ray book - beautifully wrapped and she said it was like a little treasure trove. I’m going to order more!

What is the book please?

In fact, if anybody else has opened their mystery book I'd love to know what they got so I can get an idea of the range iykwim.

@snoopinginstlye & @HopefulBeliever

Voucher code

Just looking at the small print, it looks like you won’t receive the voucher for 120-150 days! Might not be a problem for some but worth knowing.

Yay so happy that the orders from Billie Rae have arrived safely for those of you that ordered & that your happy with them! She was very appreciative when I told her that a few of you had ordered via my recommendation 🥰💕 I’m eagerly awaiting my postman delivering mine as I got an email to say it’s out for delivery 🚚 😂

I am delighted with my order too. Thanks for the information 💐

DD just wanted to say thank you for all the orders (still open for more of course) but to say that she has been told the foodbank have some matchfunding so will be able to double the total that the lovely MNet crowd have paid her which is really amazing. She's so happy both about that and all the lovely comments she's had!

Hi

Thank you - if you PM me your email I can let you know what she still has (which is most of them).

ChristmasJumperz · 04/11/2026 22:00

@hugsandpugs I made a note last year "Nike started discounts up to 50% off Sun 16th I think" the last two words make it a bit vague but should give you an idea!

I am enjoying that Currys, Very, Boots have all informed me that their Black Friday offers start now. So much more helpful than the end of November!

Courage for the cabinet girl by Molly Green
I chose historical fiction. It looks like a pretty easy read….

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.

@KG1145 thank you so much for the juggling advice. What a cool job to have!
@Raera my daughter has the zip string and she loves it. The pack comes with different length strings. The large one is big but fine in our kitchen/diner. It’s also been used in the garden. It is big enough for a child to step through which is fun. The smaller strings are great too and the strings are easy to change.

Interesting. I ordered one too. I’ll let you know.

That’s rubbish luck… mine turned up okay…

hugsandpugs · 04/11/2026 22:55

I know someone asked upthread about what books people had in their blind date with a book. This was mine…. 😊 from the mental health genre

I don’t know if anyone can help, but my DS has randomly requested a ‘skin’ aka leather water bottle. Something like the picture, however I doubt a bargainous one, that is actually safe to drink from will be able to be found!

Hidden knowledge like this is why I love these threads over the years!

Haha, I have to say it's not very often that knowledge comes in handy. I was quite excited when I saw the question 🤣🤣
