Toasties - still loving the knitwear and the chat!

[IlovePond]

I have set up a new Toastie thread, guys.

I would also really like to know @clearsky

Me too @clearsky x

@clearsky please do tell. I have my basket all ready to checkout once I know it's not a mug, or one napkin

I'm happy to know too. Have something on my wish list that was going to wait till next month to buy but would bring forward purchase for a nice gift.

I would like to know too. 😳

While we are waiting - favourite and least favourite Kindred gifts?

My favourites were: Aime silk scarf and Xmas garland
Least favourite: enamel mug too.

My favourite was the little blue Japanese knotted bag, and the Christmas garland.

I don’t post often so I am not sure what the usual etiquette is regarding revealing what the gift is. I appreciate that some people would like to know whilst others wouldn’t. In this case, however I think it is probably not to everyone’s taste and I wouldn’t want people to put in orders when they are not ready to just to get it.

It’s a porcelainised enamel bowl with a splatter pattern. Individual sized, like the salad bowl currently available but smaller.

would love to know what this one is. I’m guessing some napkins or something similar

Thank you @clearsky . That’s very helpful.
Probably a pass for me although I was tempted by the navy dress worn over things in the live, it’s so expensive I will have to think whether or not to buy.

@clearsky thank you! That sounds pretty and definitely better than a beige mug

Thanks @clearsky not my favourite thing, although I do use all my enamel bowls quite a lot 🤔.

Thanks @clearsky

I haven’t been Kindred for long, but I have had every gift since I joined, (the gift after the enamel mug).

In order - favourite first:

Brown and cream woven basket - currently sitting in front of me in my front room with a plant in it!
Fairisle socks - wear them all the time
Burgundy bandana - lovely, but still getting round to using it!
The other gift I’ve had is temporarily eluding me - a little pot? Longpi candlestick? Help me out here, guys - it’s driving me mad not being able to remember!

Thanks @clearsky, it’s a feeling of relief for me that I haven’t missed out on this one as it’s not really my style. I’ll get back to enjoying my new toast washing hamper 🧺

Thanks @clearsky

Hmm, can't recall. @IlovePond. There was a circus picture recently - did you get that one?

@MiracleToast - is that the Veta Vera one? Ooh - what's it like?

@Stoic123 - gosh I had completely forgotten about the circus picture! I think it went in the recycling! I offered to return it, but Toast didn’t want it back. Thanks for the reminder.

I definitely have had at least one more Kindred gift - a pot of some kind, I think. I mentioned it recently on here, (or maybe last thread), but it’s slipped my mind atm and driving me mad!

BTW: Not Toast, but do check your JL Rewards. They have just sent me a £15 makeup/or fragrance voucher with min spend the voucher value.

They also sent me 2 x £10 skincare and one £5 voucher between November and January, with minimum spend of the voucher value.

I am very pleased by their sudden generosity!

Btw: The ability to post pictures has been restored. Hopefully MN won’t have any more of last weekend’s awful issues 🤞

@Stoic123 its the Veta Vera washing basket with the handles at the side that’s just come in I think. It’s beautiful and I have banished my plastic one 😂 I’m imagining myself wafting out to the washing line in summer with my linens and that makes me happy. I really would like the big laundry one with the lid too if it ever hits the sales.

@MiracleToast Thank you. It caught my eye straight away. Lovely.

I really like the black twisted seam trousers . But I cannot bring myself to pay £255 for them and dry clean only (why?).

Kindred gifts in the past - fushiko cloths , I think I may have 2 different sets. Def not spelled that way . Bauble. A print of flowers more recently.

Are they dry clean @Theteapotsbrokenspout because they might wash out badly?

Goodness knows @Countmeout . It seems a trend to make things dry clean to absolve responsibility for the quality of the product.

Thank you @clearsky , I’m looking forward to that Kindred gift (almost) as much as my netball vest 🤣
