Thanks so much for the link pipsmum! I've never heard of that website before - I can feel a spend up coming on

EDIT- just spent £16 delivered, got a few bits to add to hampers and what not.
I bought this for my friend for £4.95 (not including P+P) http://www.dotcomgiftshop.com/building-block-words-love?all=1&ctid=5187&pos=239 absolute bargain! I know she wanted this kind of thing too. Chuffed! Thanks again pipsmum.

You are very welcome, I had never heard of it either, saw it on one of the Christmas threads on here.
Let us know what bargains you get!

I to have a large family and like you it was out of our reach for affording it all. Now what we do is 1 pound 50 on each person and the one who has purchased the worst gift gets all the other peoples rubish as well. They have to keep it all till the next xmas and put it back into the pot. We all spend a lot of time laughing when we open the pressys

Just been on and had a little spend up. Thanks to those who recommended a look at the summer sale. Well worth it even with P&P:j

Just a heads up and no idea if any good. But M&S sale has just started online!

Hi,
I've been lurking on the site lately and i've just been on the Dot com gift shop and spent £42.35 (inc P+P) on christmas pressies and things to add to hampers. Sounded pretty bad until i worked out that if i'd bought those things before the sale i would've spent £280.37 :T

So now i'm much further ahead and judging by the reviews it's very good quality stuff. The umbrellas and candles look brilliant and they have some zinc planters that will be perfect to use as the "hampers" themselves. I'm so excited i can't wait

Tealight candle holders and coffee scented candles at 39p each and packs of incense at 10p! I also bought some erasers (25p for 5) and mini jigsaw puzzles (15p each) that i will give to my Gran who does the shoeboxes for charity every year.

Thank you so much Pips mum!

Also YankeeDoodle.co.uk have a huge sale on if anyone is interested in yankee candles. I bought the megapack that they have on offer at the moment and i can't believe the quality and sheer number of items. I can't recommend it enough (although they did take a week to deliver).

Hope this helps

Your welcome Alittleinlove, it was too good offers to not share! I got 5 of the incense packs at 10p, I dont even know who to give them too but I couldnt leave them there at that price!

I'm sure you guys have probably seen it around the other sections of the forums but The Book people summer sale is pretty good too. Kids books, romance novels, cookery books etc from 50p.

Set of 3 Doctor who (new version) for £2
Set of 14 Inspector Morse books £5
Set of 20 Great Loves books £4
James Corden autobiography £3


Postage is £1.95 for a single item or £3.95.
Free delivery for new customers on orders over £15.

Also a 10% discount code that works on sale items: JULY2012

I'm planning to split up some of the sets like the Great loves books only cost me 18p each so will go well in hampers and the like for various family and friends and the Doctor who books will do well for my younger cousins.

WARNING: requires a great deal of willpower not to spend a fortune! (I spent £36.90 but got a total of 71 books)
