Xmas Gifts for US and/or UK + Flash Sales 2016
OK....for consumer items the USA is the 'land of plenty'.
Please everyone, throw out ideas of things to buy for partners/kids, rellies not only in the USA but in the UK too...especially if the UK internet sites will accept a non-UK billing address! I think we all know about Amazon in the US and UK, just trying to think of alternatives.
I haven't got a clue what to get my husband, and would appreciate some inspiration! (He is teetotal btw).
1) I've just had an e-mail for a Flash Sale until midnight tonight (12 December) for a variety of gift boxes from Crabtree and Evelyn - with free shipping - at 50% off from their online store only:
Www.crabtree-evelyn.com
2) Thornton's chocolates in the UK is also having a Christmas promotion.....I've just ordered their "Christmas Share Bundle" ( a large selection of chocs, toffees etc.) for 35 pounds (regular price 50 pounds) with free shipping to some rellies in the UK...my husband's siblings who are having their annual get-together this weekend and we have only made it once in 22 years lol!
Thornton's will accept orders with a non-UK billing address
They have quite a few other offers on at the moment too:

Great idea - my dental forum does this most years too - we all tend to write what we would like to receive as a present. Somehow,this is easier!!
https://usa.1more.com/collections/he...ear-headphones $60 for very decent earbuds that stay in.
Target : Expect More. Pay Less. My son suggested this as a birthday present (yesterday) for his younger sister. It sounds very good and she is very pleased with it. sorry link didn't tell you what it was. Portable bluetooth speaker http://www.jbl.com/bluetooth-speaker...=Black#start=1

Homedepot is sometimes good for guy presents. They also sell bluetooth speakers, but not as trendy as JBL. Woot.com also has some interesting items as does meh.com/morningsave.com. What about magazine subscriptions? I have request donations to charity this year, I feel like I have been over consumered.
