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

Edited

How about something from Beauty of Joseon like their dynasty cream, eye serum or sunscreen.

DD has done a wishlist for friends and family she told me she has a separate one for Santa. I found her Santa list and she has smudge monkey jellycat on it. I’m not sure if she still believes I suspect she’s very much on the edge, so would love to get this for her. I didn’t realise they’re so hard to find. Has anyone any ideas as to where I might find one.

Edited to add caution as there’s some online discussion over the authenticity of the site/products.

This site has the medium sized one for £35

Could someone send me a referral code for bloom & wild? There aren't any active on the referral thread

Looking for the best deal on a large Lego F1 car set for dd, ideally the Redball or Ferrari, they are kind of out of my budget but Argos seems to be the best price at the moment at £130 ish. Does anyone have an argos voucher? Do they still do vouchers for a £100 spend and do they work on items already reduced?

Does anyone else refuse to pay full price for anything thanks to this thread?

£130 is the very cheapest you will get it I think. That's an amazing price, I wonder if they are going to be bringig out an updated versionI'm looking for the Mclaren one and they are £199.

I found this “tiny” one that ships from Australia. The price is ridiculous. The Reddit forums are saying they’re highly sought after and sell out as quick as they’re restocked.
Why do kids always want the one thing that everybody else wants 😅

My local store has smudge bunny if that's any good?

You could have a look at local independent stockists and ring up to see if they have any? You might get lucky in a random garden centre somewhere.

@Theresalotgoingon said there’s a Smudge Bunny in their local store if that helps?

I’ve got four aunts to buy presents for, all in their sixties. The turtledove gloves seem like they’d be a good present (and a good deal!) but I know there were previous posts saying the quality has declined. Any thoughts on whether I should look elsewhere?

I buy from tazzies on ebay as I like the shape but I know some people prefer a different thumb hole. I have also had nice gloves from nearly new cashmere - they aren't cheap but they do have lovely reversible, stripy and ribbed and cabled gloves as well as the standard ones https://www.nearlynewcashmere.co.uk/collections/gloves?_su_rec=n8A-YnyrqQ2yRrKKg_Er_FjguGclbygG_VtOb_e48BnCDpkgHVEYUWZzmY3PvNEhZ5w0CPDbBf-i4ZpcOPd1WLkWJwNy37OQG64xSMkrRNP2Se_Jug2lwNX5gUwxmggdgLsV1kJRuCy_WDtl6vXiuYUVgUmTDIYcYEw5hasCZMITfWyWrXTFPlAzToX0CXGcJjX1vJGJPOy9WNbTVxWz-y3_zy9ybmHNbs6Wsz4a9V-oBGpCK78aE3uskM7mt6MVyr5-ezniX2hy74iHsTMj6s1FLN39ge1DwBiijhFWf8-elWceFtJcIrTu84Ods3K6XWh4RXeTtDiN5qxgzPRDJ32bJ1tiqwttkT-WrYNjGcN3QBoJiMiWYzhPUrfnNFeArH8BeFp4vkI-jAt9n3N2GlVlNsE_xtm_N6aE&_su_rec_id=bf117fea-bbf1-4a81-a079-4a01875db0c6-1793790937&page=11

This is what I use and definitely agree. I was looking for more viral products she might like to try rather than every day skincare

I recently got a Latest in Beauty ‘AI approved’ beauty box for an older teen - lots of viral ( apparently!) products and it was under £30 with a code. I also got the teen box for my (younger) DD, thanks to whoever posted about them on one of the beauty threads. They had quite a few different ones and might be worth a look. I have no idea about viral brands as I stick to my tried and trusted products, so they were perfect!

My blind date books from Billierae came today, thanks @hugsandpugs for the recommendation. No idea what the books are but they look cute!

Switch 2 and Pokopia - I missed the stand along game when it was very cheap at Argos.

Do I go for this Very offer or hold out?

Smyths toys have £5 off £50 spend on Lego. So the item I ordered from JL yesterday which was already discounted is £5 cheaper at Smyths! I’ve submitted my price match request

re the Needoh non delivery. Urban outfitters have refunded me.

Where do you get the £10 off?

If you look on the referral thread I think there are a few refer a friend links that give you and the person whose link you use £10 off.
Some take longer to come through than others. The one I used took about 36 hours.
I'll add my link in case there aren't any available.

ay30916 · 04/11/2026 11:41

@Famoustheherothe hero they look amazing. I’ll add that to my list for my mum as I was going to get her a book.
