    Has anybody seen any offers for cheap Xmas photo cards yet?

    Have the smalls school photo primed to put on it :beer::rudolf:

    I got some last year in the £1 shop you got 10 in a box that you could just print the photos out and slip them inside, they had different designs all really christmassy. Not seen any deals online yet though.

    Who I need help with -
    My Daughters Grandad has just taken up digital photography so I'd like to do a gift basket based around that but got stuck on ideas. So far I've thought of - LENS CLEANER, FUNNY BOOK, PHOTO PAPER, PHOTO ALBUM, NOVELTY KEY-RING, FUNNY T-SHIRT.

    If you have a poundworld near you, they have lots of bits in that you could use, like tripods, cases, cleaning wipes etc all for camera, they also do photo paper, sd card readers and lots of other bits that would be helpful.

    sammykaye - why dont you look on ebay for a bike? i went on by chance for tom's and managed to get one at £10 with the helmet its in excellent condition and saved me using all my vouchers, or in local paper or buy and sell, i know sometimes its not the same as buying brand new but they dont know the difference.
    off shopping today hoping to get the last few small bits. picked up an argos christmas book yesterday and saw the satnav i was buying my mum and dad has gone down by £10, they also has some good kids offers.
    and something that never happens to me happened yeaterday! i was at the till paying for toms bob and thomas the tank toys on 2 for £15 and it only came to £12.50 which meant i only had to put £2.50 to it because i had a £10 voucher.
    happy shopping everyone,

    My DH had a brainwave the other night (very unusual!) and we are going to buy a subscription to lovefilm or the tesco version to put in the movie hampers so the recipient gets either 8 or 12 dvds to watch instead of buying a couple of cheapo ones.

    I subscribe to Tesco (no idea why, it takes me so long to watch and return each DVD that I could have bought the DVD twice over - but anyway...) and quite often (particularly around Christmas) they send us vouchers through the post which are designed to pass on to friends or family. They don't usually look like a free giveaway, they look pretty good. If you know anyone who might get some of these (they often send 2 or 3 at a time) you could ask them for them if they're not using them. If I get any, I'll pm you.
    There is no such thing as a free lunch. Its only free because you've paid for it.

    Noone can have everything they want and the sooner you learn that the better.

    MSE Aim: To have more "thanks" than "posts"! :T

    Bought my wrapping paper today :D Black with gold swirls and writing, and red poinsettas, looks very classy and nice, 2 rolls of 4m for £3, at Wilkinsons. They had some 2m rolls of paper for 16p each, red with white presents on. Saw loads of people in town carrying rolls of wrapping paper round :xmassmile Loads of shops getting their christmas stock out too
    D'you know, in 900 years of space and time, I've never met anyone who wasn't important

  • Hiya everyone

    Ok i was a tinsey wincey bit naughty today, kind of mse a bit expensive. Went Christmas Window Shopping today, so i was just scouting around a bit. Anyways i went into Boots and picked up a gift guide (i know naughty me didn't have one sooner) and saw a No7 Mens Skin Care and Shaving Set for £40!! :eek: had a look round the shop and spotted a carousel stand with loads on, i sidled over to have a look and they were £20!! Half price. I got 80 boots points and a £5 off No7 gift voucher and the best part about it was Dad paid :D great Christmas present for uncle.

    Looking in the catalogue for the remaining gifts to buy for, not many now :D
    Also speakers arrived from MinistryofDeals only paid £4.00 was good value so thats my grandad finished.

    Does anyone know how long Toluna vouchers take to arrive?

    Thanks

    In their travels, has anyone come across any small, pink Christmas trees? Looking for a little one for DD (couple of feet, tops) to divert her attention from our main one. Doesnt need lights or anything but would like it to look 'full' - seen some on ebay but a bit sparse.

    Thanks
