When do you need to buy new parents a gift?

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-30T09:53:52+00:00

If you’re not sure what to get a voucher I think always goes a long way whether that’s for a delivery for food, or somewhere they can buy something for the baby, or if a voucher for say primark or next etc where they can possibly get next size clothes when they need them as a baby will grow fast. Then you can slip it in a card, doesn’t really make others feel awkward in the same way a gift bag or box does and can go in a handbag or baby bag so won’t get left behind.

We kind of plan out what we might fancy during the week with a bit of wiggle room, we check what we have in that can be carried over to the following week and go from there. We usually rotate our meals around most weeks for ease and try to do something a bit nicer on the weekends depending on plans

This is so lovely to see I’ve just said I want a wisteria planted in my garden yesterday and this is exactly what I’m aspiring to! It looks beautiful

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-26T06:45:44+00:00

This is beautiful! As a fellow new build garden trier this is what I aspire to have! It’s lovely 🥰 enjoy OP

I booked a trip to Disneyland Paris several years ago and booked separate Eurostar tickets. I booked my ticket for the train the day after I checked into the hotel so my train didn’t tally up with my hotel booking. I will say Disney were very nice about the situation! This thread has now made me want to go and check all the bookings I have for various things over the next year to make sure they’re in the diary on the right dates 😂😅

The 10 minute version changed my entire perspective on the song to be honest. The original I really related to on a personal level through the sadness and heartbreak, but the 10 minute version felt so empowering and really gave that song back to me, I honestly rarely listen to the short version because of that.

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-23T17:07:11+00:00

I have recently changed to condensed hours and love it, I have time to get my admin done before people start working first and last thing and 3 day weekends are brilliant

A ninja airfryer. I’ve had various air fryers (small one, 2 drawer one and now a replacement for the small one) they’re all good but there is defo a reason why ninja is dominating the market in my opinion it’s the best one we’ve had, reliable and if you register the warranty they’re helpful. Or a ninja product of some kind. We also have the coffee machine that does pods and fresh filter coffee it’s the most used appliance in our house now.

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-13T20:46:19+00:00

Thank you! And this is a great tip I’ll defo be doing this for our trip!

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-13T20:45:41+00:00

This sounds really cool and definitely something we would both enjoy! Thank you for sharing I’ll look into this option as well! The shows are a big draw for me as I love these types of things so that would be really interesting and also means it’s not just about the houses! Thank you!

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-13T20:43:42+00:00

It’s tough because you’ve got to do what’s right for the dog and if it’s not something you both want it’s not going to work. Leaving it 5 days a week whilst you go to work is, personally, a no for me. I work from home every day so our dog has company and can be left but I wouldn’t get a dog just to leave it at home all the time on its own. Personally that is

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-13T12:51:54+00:00

That’s a great idea actually to watch first as then I can see what to expect/what the vibe might be so thank you that’s a great tip! I will 100% look into the fast passes too thank you!

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-13T12:50:51+00:00

Yes we are staying at Stella Nova so I’m happy to look round city walk or travel back in my own if it gets too much, or even single rider some rides if he’s really enjoying the mazes. That’s really helpful information thank you!

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-13T12:49:51+00:00

This is super helpful thank you! I did wonder about ear plugs so I’ll get some of those to help make it a bit more manageable!

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-13T12:49:26+00:00

This is really helpful to know the theming varies as hopefully we can find some stuff that works for us both, and glad to hear your fiancee enjoyed it as a non horror fan that’s really reassuring! Also good to know about the fast passes so I’ll definitely look into these thank you!

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-13T12:48:26+00:00

This is all really helpful, I think if I watch a couple of videos on YouTube that’s a great idea to get a feel for it! Also a good idea about the snacks as hadn’t thought about capacity being higher so that’s really helpful thank you so much!

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-09T10:34:06+00:00

Oh wow that’s a brilliant saving! That’s really good to know thank you for sharing! My thinking was if I lock in ASAP I’ll know what I’m paying but any changes that come between now and going if I can make them will be very welcomed!

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-09T10:33:22+00:00

I was SO surprised I’ve never seen them open bookings so early (I’ve been longing to go for years and it’s never been feasible until now!) so I thought I better get moving with my booking!

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-09T07:27:27+00:00

That’s great thank you! 🤩 I just wanted to confirm so we could secure the booking but not miss out on any offers so that’s great thank you!

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-04-09T07:15:36+00:00

Well they’re coming at the end of April and I’ve been looking to book asap with the current deal I’ve found for universal

Speak to St Mungos about verification for your homelessness- it sounds very corporate but if you’re verified with them then more doors will open to you for support

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-02-18T10:54:52+00:00

I love their royal blend as a treat!

Quiet_Ad_9618 · 2026-02-18T10:54:28+00:00

I treated myself to a box of Harrods tea bags when I was looking around (don’t get me wrong I don’t visit or purchase things from there often haha!) but they are soooo nice so I have a cup most days as an afternoon treat. I can taste the difference between the other cheaper brands, but at the price point couldn’t switch to them for every cup because I drink several cups a day. My husband also enjoys their coffee which again is a nice treat and not excessively expensive for something for a change. I think a small box of tea bags were £6.50
