🎄 Emoji to copy if required for posting bargains as some agree this makes deals easier to spot. (or post in bold)

@Captainflash I believe it is 209 at Argos and Currys, I think it's the same one.

@FOBIthefearobeingincluded no code the site shows 50% off and 10% for first sign up stacks

in my local Asda they had Tony’s chocolate for £3 and these imposters for £2.96

Thank you for looking- those don’t have the diffuser included. That’s the part she really
wants too!

Completely agree with this too. It looks so cute and tempting but I think a well chosen book with a lovely bookmark will hit the spot with reading lovers in my family (and me!)

Ah that's a shame. Hope you find it.
I know vouchercodes.com is offering a £50 John Lewis voucher if you buy a Shatk product from John Lewis but it is a risk if it doesn't track. @captainflash

I ordered the PLouise Micellar water a while back and thought I would try again with a different email address. I have done two orders today with 2 separate email addresses and the code TREAT still works. So, free Micellar water worth £9.95. You pay £2 delivery when it was £1 before but still worth it. Comes in a beautiful box an you could add some more items.

Thanks for this, I’ve tried but it’s not giving me the matcha hand balm and when I add it it’s charging me. Did you have a code or do it in a specific order?

Another plea for an Argos code if anyone has one spare 🙏🏻 ideally a £5 of a £50 would be perfect!

Can anyone remember who sold the small, pastel coloured waffle makers in previous years, please?

Unless you know the child is super keen on Lego, I’d say it might be a little tricky. Lots of kids find Lego tricky at 4, and can get discouraged (some love it!). If you know they are into lego, absolutely go for it… if not there are loads of non-Lego things on that deal. A big crayola set, one of the simple remote control cars, or one of the bigger orchard games like the bus stop should be more guaranteed success.

Urban Outfitters had mini waffle makers for £11, just checked my email, 2023 though so maybe you're thinking of somewhere else. Thought I'd mention it just incase. Can't see any on their site now though!

Is £30 plus £5postage the cheapest I’ll get the task master advent calendar for? Is it worth that?

Re Needohs. I was talking to my kids & apparently Spek are a good brand too and seem a little bit easier to get. We just popped to our local Oliver Bonas & they had plenty on the shelf. The sales assistant said last week they sold out but she thinks due to half term but they seem to get regular deliveries. Just a possible alternative for people.

Does anyone have an Argos code for £80? Can you PM it to me if you’re not using. Thanks in advance

That's really useful, thank you! The mum is quite fussy about what they get, she doesn't like "plastic tat" but most toys that age seem to be that!!!

Yes, that was it! I kept thinking Oliver Bonas but didn’t think that was right !

My Elemis gift sets have arrived from QVC today, I got 3 out of 4 scents and my favourite is the sandalwood. Got 10% off with blue light discount too.

They had them in Morrisons last year around Black Friday for a fiver

My girls had the Argos Designafriend dolls when they were younger and Smyths toys did a more expensive version which is still cheaper than American girl dolls. They are called Our generation dolls and there are some beautiful ones. Both do lots of accessories and clothes.

I’ve also tried the body shop offer but the matcha cream isn’t adding for me either so assuming it’s ended 🫣

We got my Nan an Aura frame last Christmas between lots of us. She loves it and we love how easy it is for her to use and for us to upload stuff to the app. Just needs a plug and WiFi connection.

I’ve just been out with my 15yo and found these in Look Fantastic. £25 Xmas cracker. There’s a skincare one, cosmetic one & hair one. She asked me to get her the skincare one for Xmas. Look lovely in person. Great value & expect they would go down well with teens/young adults

@ClaraLane thank you! This sounds good too. We usually just WhatsApp pics, but this might be better.

I got mine from Amazon they are about £15. However if I were buying again I'd get one with removeable plates as it would be easier to clean. Lakeland have one for £19.99 which has this and it would be worth the extra £4 for the convenience.
