Still here. Been looking at what I can grab tomorrow to fill out Christmas presents. Presents that I today discovered will not be arriving until after Christmas. Mutters expletives Looks like a quick morning trip into Minotaur is on the cards.

May I ask the ages and gender of whom you would be purchasing such gifts for?

Elder likes Five nights at Freddy's merch and Miniest has appointed Snorlax as a spirit animal, so it won't be too hard, just annoying when I wanted to vegetate and do nothing. I didn't downvote you by the way.

Aw things we do for our kids. My daughter this year will receive perfume, a epilator and cash. Missed out on putting it straight into her account. Btw I think you're a great mum.

Down votes are irrelevant if the person doesn't speak up about what offended them.

You just have me a flashback to when I was about 17.. I received perfume, an epilator and cash!

I went into Chemest Warehouse and ask for Arianna Grande perfume and discovered there was a few. I then had to find the link she sent me. I've never felt so old in my life when I pointed and said "that's the one".

Can I suggest you look at the Ebgames website?

You might be in proximity for free Uber delivery if they have it in stock near you.

They're usually my first port of call. This time I was organising click and collect with them for some Snorlax merch because I knew they wouldn't likely deliver it to me on time. They first said the items were in store and then had to tell me they were mistaken and they aren't, so their policy is to then priority freight it to me, but even that's scheduled to arrive after Christmas, hence my predicament. A rare problem for me with them, as I usually find they're great with anything I need.
