I have mislaid my DN Xmas present - downside of early present buying!

sargesaweyes I was just about to recommend the slippers that Oreo suggested. I have a pair and have bought then for my sister for tho Xmas for £25. As Oreo suggested, I had them on my wishlist and bought when the price temporarily dropped.

Thanks, i still dont understand it but it looks interesting

Hmm, the Disney DVD Boxset I linked to might only be one disc (got the link from MSE). I'm going to wait until I receive mine but it does say in product info 4 discs.

Thanks for the new thread reastie Thanks to the last two I only have 2 more gifts to buy - MIL and SIL. Am at a loss so looking for inspiration (and bargains of course!)

Waiting - I had a demo of the fun bar from Lush the other week. Its a bit like Play doh but its soap/bubble bath/shampoo. You just crumble a bit in your hand or the bath and add water and it foams up.

Prob is I'm not sure how long it would last before going dry, I think you need to wrap it in clingfilm to prevent this, and/or keep it on a dish/plate with cling film covering.

I am too lazy as I know the DC would just leave it out and it would dry up and I'd be pissed off. so I just spent a fortune on bath bombs instead

I found you not said in a creepy voice at all only 2 people left to buy for

Marking place.

Im looking for cheap lego advent calendar- esp Star wars one!

Ah that wouldnt work at all they all go in to the bath box as we dont have anywhere to leave things covered in the bathroom. off on a hunt for christmassy bath bombs it is then

If its Christmas bath bombs you want you need the soap site previously mentioned. They have Christmas pudding ones. I can't link on my phone but I'm sure mooseymoo will be along shortly to help you out

I love these threads, I'm getting excited about Christmas already. I was going to buy those lush playdoh bars but they would last for one bath in my house and get mushed everywhere. I'll get bath bombs instead or does anyone know what those mr matey bubble baths smell like now. Is it till the original smell from a few years ago? I'm busy planning hampers for Christmas Eve.

Lego advent calendars are part of 3 for 2 on toys at tesco. Think the starwars was 19.99

MooseyMoo Amazon customer services say it's a 4-disc boxset. This is in line with the pictures below the main image, and the product info that says it includes '4 discs'. However, this is at odds with the reviews that appear to be reviewing just one DVD. I'm sure it will be the boxset .

<dons detective glasses and cape>

everday I think so too, but a few people on MSE thread were cancelling their order. Fingers crossed

Aha, found it...

also Sudz Fun but only soaps

Sorry ^^ for waiting Xmas bath bombs

they look fantastic thank you, hope if i give them early enough all 3 dc will be bathed an in bed by 9pm, wishful thinking maybe

Fantastic thread.

Am going to do Elf on the Shelf this year but with an alternate elf as I find the proper one odd a bit creepy

Has any seen any nice ones on their travels?

Yip, I'm with you Moosey cancelling now is a bit premature. Can always return if not as advertised by Amazon .

That's the one Mooseymoo, I ordered some soaps and am delighted with them. Great novelty items

What's the Disney DVD offer?

I have the emu slippers too (a Xmas present a few years ago). They are lovely and hoping for some this year off DH. Thanks for the tip about putting on a wish list. I noticed a few days ago they were quite a bit cheaper. Annoyed that I didn't buy then!

Elf on shelf www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000XR6MBQ/ref=mp_s_a_1?pi=SL75&qid=1351450702&sr=8-1

My American fiend introduced us to it last year. My DD was only just two so hoping it'll be even better this year.
There is a DVD too apparently..

Damn, in my quest for a cheap Twister Dance having failed to find two other toys to buy with it in Tesco's three for two I was thrilled to find it on Asda Direct at sixteen quid. But out of stock.

Can someone please explain the elf on a shelf to me - I didn't really get the gist of it from the link. Seems like a lot of money for a toy and a book?? What am I missing?

Anyone after books, i got this Michael Morpurgo Set for dd.

Only £16.99 for 16 books for The Book People, it has arrived and is lovely.

Elf on the shelf - Pottery barn - half price shipping to the UK .

This was posted byAuscreemaAscare on the last thread! I wasn't going to do elf on the shelf but, I do love a bit of Americana, and the nightie is so cute!

This explains elf on the shelf. An american tradition that is moving over here. There are a lot of threads in this topic about it.

I think I will start it next year, DD is only 2 and I think I will just be making work for myself if i do it this year. But I think once they grasp it, it will be wonderful!

The explination

I can't wait to do it (my own version anyway) but ds isn't old enough. I copied this explanation. I think you get a book with it aswell??

Every evening parents hide the elf in a different hiding spot for children to find in the morning. Then each morning, kids delightfully run around looking to find where the little elf landed after reporting to Santa at the North Pole the night before.

There is only one rule. Children are not supposed to touch the little elf (though they are allowed to tell him their Christmas secrets).

Each family gets to adopt their own little elf that is sent to them directly from Santa. The elf receives its "Christmas magic" as soon as the new human family gives him their own special name. Then their personal little elf returns year after year to make sure the children are behaving before Christmas arrives and reports back to Santa each evening.

The Elf on the Shelf is not only fun for children to find - but fun for parents to come up with creative places to hide the elf each evening (or at least come up with creative excuses about why the elf hasn't moved if parents forget to move him the night before). The general rule is the elf needs to be "hidden" in plain site so he can keep an eye on the kids to be sure they are behaving.

Parents are also receiving the benefit of better behaving children as they remind them that the elf is watching them and will give Santa a bad report if they act up.

After Christmas arrives the little elf goes back to the North Pole with Santa until the following year.

Bit late there lol sorry x posts

Does anyone know anything about DS games?

I want to buy the new Professor Layton game, but so far can only see it for the 3DS. I only have a regular DS (and won't buy a 3DS because I can't see them. Turns out you need good vision in both eyes otherwise they don't work ).

Anyway what I want to know is will a 3DS game work on my DS. And if not is there a regular DS version of the game. Preferably for the £20 that Amazon has the other on for!

3DS games don't work on a DS, they have a little sticky out bit on the side which means they don't fit in the slot.

You really don't need the book & toy deal, some people make their elves for pennies. and there's loads of ideas and things to down load for free. The gund ones came on amazon on and off last year, I kept checking too, eBay as well until I got one!

oreo - try Game, they sell second hand, or ebay

Oh I just noticed you said the new one. Oops

oreo I don't think it is available on normal DS which I am disappointed about as well.

Argh, but I neeeed it. It has been my christmas present for the last frew years, it's become a tradition!

I really really don't want to have to buy a 3ds - entirely pointless for me as I will only see it in 2d. Does this mean they are phasing out regular versions of games?

Well that's me in a sulk now!

Penguin, while not exactly a bargain, DD was overjoyed with a £10 Claire's voucher last year and got quite a lot with it in the sale. She is 11.

everyday thanks for the digital photo key ring link. I've just ordered 12! That sorts the grandparents, great grandparents and uncles presents from dd.

Maybeamaybaby Disney christmas DVD box set £3 (no delivery charge) link is on Reastie's OP list. Amazon advertises that it is a boxset of 4 DVDs, but some of the pictures and reviews hint at it being one DVD. Still avail to order, and Amazon Customer Services told me on the phone this afternoon that it is 4 DVDs. If anyone is unsure whether to go for it, I should get mine delivered this week and I will post on here precisely what is included and whether I think it's worth the £3.

glad the keyring link went down well . <takes a bow for finding a good 'un>

Is anybody else having problems with the WHSmith website? Tried to order those fantastic keyrings but when I click on the 'pay' part (last screen!) it does nothing. Went back to try again and it said that it couldn't register my card this time.
Any clues?
to Reastie for such a great thread - you've saved me loads!

Naghoul's elves are the business

ooh I added one more to my bag and it worked - obviously just a ploy to get me to spend more

Whsmith site wouldn't take my payment for some reason, kept trying and it kept refusing.

Breadandhoney - thank you for the tip, have ordered one of those drum things, and got 5% off with a code from Reastie's first post.

Thanks for re-posting the elf on the shelf link oreocrumbs as I hadn't realised that there was a new thread. You've saved me a job

I think it's excellent that whoever analyses such things was obviously referred back to the Elf thread last year with all of us going gaga then at the shipping prices

tried the keyring link, but out of stock now, never mind!

fantastic thread

Isn't it great?!

My family usually get booze, chocolate/foody stuff and wooly/waterproofs (its cold and wet where a lot of my folks are!). Waitrose had some very nice San Leon (I thing that's the name) prosecco for £6.66 (eeek!) Which is good for 'goody bags' with chocs/tins of bikkies/hestons clementine christmas puds for teachers/postmen etc.

Any other boozy or wooly finds, people?

Also something for a 2 year old girl (no idea what they are into!).

Plus light stuff to be poster to the US. My sis loves books but postage is more than a book. D'oh - Amazon!!!

Thanks OP for the heads up on the Zulily kitchen, I have been after a cheap wooden non-girly kitchen for ages!!

Frontpaw My dd is 2 5 days before Xmas, here are a few of the things i've been buying for her (this is all split over xmas and birthday)... Dolls, dolls accessories such as pram,highchair, bottles etc. Toy kitchen, toy trolley, plastic food to go with trolley and kitchen. Crayons, coloured pencils, colouring books and sticker books.Simple jigsaw puzzles.Story books, a trike, toot toot car garage, toot toot cars. Hope this gives you some ideas

Frontpaw my DD is nearly 2 and I've just ordered her from [[/www.zulily.co.uk/invite/reaston750 zulily] some of the wooden play kitchen/food bits they have on offer today. She should play with it for a few years too. There's a code mentioned earlier for 20% off - 20MUMSNE15 . If that's not what you fancy getting then books are always good - DD loves lift the flap ones book people will have some good ones I'm sure and there's a free postage code upthread I think too. Happyland from ELC is also v good, not sure if there are any good offers on at the min.

Not a bargain, but a gorgeous gift idea for hard to buy fors. The Folio Society has some truly gorgeous books with beautiful illustrations, not just kids books, the handmaids tale, the hobbit, just so stories, animal farm and the origin of the species. I am in love.

Just odered this pop up tent from Zulily for £11.20 using the 20% off code

DN is three and loves his cars and this has a 'road map' inside for him to play on. It folds into a bag that can fit a few cars also it's pop up so nice and portable too.

how does zulily work? does it really only have things for 1 day?

Has anyone tried the photo box voucher? Does it include photo books?

Joules have 3 for 2 on their Bath and Body items.

Hello all, what a wonderful thread. Just wondered if anyone else is struggling with the molten brown code 'THANKS' the website is crashing when I try to check out with it.

tulip have you used it once already?

Re the Tesco clubcard exchange do you have to pay the full amount in vouchers or can you top up in cash?

tulip27 The Molton Brown website had problems over the weekend, kept crashing. Eventually I got it to work, but it must still be having problems. Think its a website problem rather than a code problem. Maybe try again later.

Angelsus You can top up.

I wonder if kindles would be considered a personal electrical?

Ohthe LOVED the Zulilly pop up tents, but sadly (or maybe a good thing for my credit card) the girls house one was sold out. They are fab though! Very tempted by all the wooden toys on there too but MUST HOLD BACK!

Ohtheconfusion do you want to invite me to Zuilly? Looks like I can't see the tent unless I join!

Would anyone like to invite me to join zulilly too? I've been tempted in...

Anyone else is welcome to give their own link for Zulily, but if you fancy mine it's at the top of the thread or here

That tim burton set looks amazing and my dd would love it but I see it's a 18, does anyone know which film is an 18 they don't look that bad but I haven't seen them all!

They're

Batman
Batman returns
Charlie and teh chocolate factory
Sweeney Todd
Pewees big adventure
Corps bride
Mars attack
Beetle juice

So mostly look like kids films, are any of them too much for a 13 year old?

ebays toy deals are really good this week inc innotab £67!

sweeney todd includes killing scenes, but they arent hugley graphic and v fake looking but probably why the age is high as there are a lot of them. its a weird film like a musical with the odd dash of murder.Beetle juice i think is or was either a 12 or 15, i love the film but again has spooky parts which some children might be scared by and a few adult references.

rhonda maybe split the pack and keep the more adult ones if your worried.

Just got my ELC order of 2 touchy & feel board books. Were £4 each now 99p with free delivery. Great stocking fillers for little ones.

www.elc.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-ELCENGB-Site/default/mSearch-Show?cgid=5567

Sweeny todd gave me nightmares! Remember the oven scene near the end? <Shiver>
Sorry Reastie about your link.

yeah didnt like the oven scene, Helena BC gives me the heebie jeebies in general.

Thanks for the keyring details from WHSmith, I'm making my own Christmas crackers this year and that ones going in my mums with lots of pictures of DS!

Sainsburys have a dolls house and some furniture half price for £30 here . Looks relatively basic to my untrained eye but v good price.

If anyone has Scooby Doo fans to buy for Amazon Lightening Daily Deals are worth a look

Excuse my spelling of Lightning

Anyone know a code for Next? I have £70 worth of pjs to buy so could do with one!

Phew! You guys are fast shoppers! Marking place. Xx

DS loves my the family ipad. I'd love to get him one, but not at £329++++! I've seen kid versions of pads but not sure if they are half decent or not!

He likes playing games on then, using some graphics package to make comigs/graphics, using Apps and skyping. Not sure if there's an alternative to apple really.

Any ideas, folks?

Just popped round to Tesco, they are selling Baby Annabel dolls for £11/£12, down from £45.

How about a refrubished ipod touch frontpaw ? Can buy them from apple and they come with a 1 year warranty, brand new box, earphones, charger etc!

frontpaw have you looked at kindle fire or a meep?

this company have some lovely gift canvases particularly for grandparents and are on offer at £29 instead of £49
Am ordering for both sets of grandparents

granger games also do refurbed electricals like the ipad, other tablets or touchs

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but Into the Blue are doing 20% off gift experiences with code STAYWARM. Just booked 3 course Sunday lunch on a steam train journey for MIL and FIL for £75.

Frontpaw - we have ordered this for dc.
I have a friend who has one and says it is great.

thanks to whoever linked to the lightening deals, just bought scooby doo for wii for £7.99 reallt chuffed as they all love SD!

Whoever linked to the elf on the shelf pjs - you've just made me buy a pair for DD I couldn't resist . Have bought them in age 3 though (and she's not yet 2) in the logic they may well fall off her a bit this year (we can tuck the legs up!) but should also last her next christmas and possibly the one after too, so really, they were very cheap when you think of it that way and I'm sure I can sell them on easily afterwards too.

If you order 250 free business cards from vista Print (you have to pay p&p) they lend send you loads of offers for free products. I've ordered a photo mug, photo calendar, and created a t-shirt with a funny slogan on and only paid p&p!

*send not lend! What on earth is going on with my autocorrect today?

Hi - don't know if this has been mentioned but there is a voucher for £10 off a £50 spend on full price adults at Clarks but if you use the voucher code online it's giving £20 off! The code is BETERM and is valid until 18th November.

Whateber makes you happy reastie

White company 20 per cent off until 13 th November with code AB279.

Also if you sign up for amazon clothing emails you will get an email with a code for 20 per cent off your next order of clothes or shoes from amazon within 30 days. It's only products sold directly by amazon though.

Me! Think there was a my account section, checked it out first.

ever

www.jellyfingers.co.uk/ linked on phone so not sure if will work.

Mumsnetter recommended this site ages ago on thread 4 and I purchased a couple of bits. Got an email today about various offers at pretty good prices so thought I would repost the address.

Anyone else still struggling with Molton Brown? I was struggling a few days ago to get anything to load, then snuck in with an order that worked, but then it went back to not recognising my MARIE10 code and so I left it a few days and having the same problem now

H&M are doing Xmas aprons for £1.99, reduced from £7.99 (max 2 per person)

New code is 25% off one item 0230

Er a link might help

http://www.hm.com/gb/home-02566-02610

Dammit!

www.hm.com/gb/home-02566-02610

Trying to buy aprons, min spend is £6 and I can't buy 3!

If anyone's doing a big Thorntons online order, add the code VCTT at checkout for free extra box of chocs (259g Premium collection one). Expires 31st Dec 2012.

What with that, cashback & getting £100 worth for £40, I'm starting to feel like I'm robbing them!

Scorpion, you just phone them up to cancel. I rate there customer service and have had great service in the past but they will send you mail trying to entice you to rejoin once you have cancelled, usually with good offers though.

Sorry forgot to add - for Thorntons orders over £40

Tesco have 3 for 2 on toys and discount on some Lego . I got three sets for £20 that full price would have been more like £50 .

There's nothing left in stock in Tesco! All the toys I want are OOS!

Sorry the white company code is for 20 per cent off AND free delivery.

OOOH thank you so much!!!!!! Love those aprons, got the matching T towels to make a package gift for M & MiL

If anyone posts another book people code can they also point me in the direction of a new bookcase?!? I fear I may run out of space soon!

MooseyMoo - thanks for the H&M link, aprons for me and a friend and a scarf to make up the order.

Parrish sign up for an email alert for when they come back in stock. I've done this twice and both times they have had more stock in by the next morning even whilst the 3 for 2 offer was on. Worth a try!

Argos toy exchange. Take your old toys to Argos and they give you a £5 voucher.

of you reastie about the Elf Pajamas. DS is five and beefy substantial so I can't get away with dividing the cost over a few years. That was my excuse to myself for getting the Elf on the Shelf in the first place as I recall...

Have set my sights on this which is bound to last a couple of decades at least, so a snip, really!

Scorpion, where do you enter the Clarks code? I've got all the way to the paypal bit and cannot see where to enter it!
Am I being thick!

John Lewis are doing 25% off the Little Tikes range until 9th Nov. Looks like mostly big outdoor play stuff but we've ordered the wooden kitchen which sold out in the Sainsbury's sale.

Excellent, have ordered aprons and tea towels too!

Still needing pesky men presents. Although FIL has really upset me this week so a lump of coal will do for him.

I want to buy a hamper for DP's granny and uncle, and for his aunt,uncle and cousins. I would make one but they are very much a bough gift is better than a lovingly home made gift family
So who wants to point me in the right direction? No more than £30 each, preferably £20!

How much is postage on H&M? Think I'm being a bit dumb...

Thanks

£3.99

Thanks oreo

Got Gruffalos child for niece who is 19m, a board book for niece who is 13m, happy land jubilee people for dd and Allen school book for ds all for less than £10 at elc

Oreo I got several lovely M&S hampers last year that were either a third off or half price, iirc. If you're interested in that I could do an email search tomorrow to see what sort of date it was (they post when you order, so you wouldn't want to do it just yet!)

Oh yes please MistressIggi, that would be great.

I had a look at the M&S hampers and they are lovely but at full price are too much to pay. With a discount would be excellent!

It's made of really thick cardboard, and the drawers are mega deep, so this ideal if you have more than one child, or you want to put a few items in each day.
It's says £12 online, but I paid £10 in store! Cheeky feckers!

Just ordered DS an octonauts gup X form Amazon-down from £44.99 to £25!

Am happy DS will be happier!

reastie thanks for starting yet another great thread

Have ordered penguin pillow thingy, only ordered 2 as you could only put two per order. Now need to think whether to get a third the same for ds, or whether to risk it and let him think it is for girls (only 3); or look out for cheap similar one. Oh the dilemas! Going to collect whsmiths order and may be obliged to get sun lego deal at same time, would be rude not to!

Just ordered the H&M aprons thanks for link x

Sorry if already asked but i am on the look out for innotab deals. Also, does anyone have any opinion on them- are they any good? Thanks x

stillers we also looking at one for DS, last year amazon did some fab offers before christmas. I'm not sure what they r like

Playmobil family van with boat and trailer Amazon £10.97

3bunnies what penguin pillowy thing? My Dd loves penguins!

Hi penguinbeaver i couldnt link yesterday but this was what i meant www.homebargains.co.uk/products/5945-snuggz-penguin-pillow-friend-19.aspx , fantastic price!

Yes that^ penguinbeaver

do you think its too girly pillow type for ds? hes 5

Thanks Waiting and 3bunnies, no definately not too girly.
Yesterday Poundland had lovely snowman and Santa mugs for those of you doing snowman soup on Xmas eve.

waiting that looks identical to the pillow pets one I bought for £14.99 from toysrus! (I did get it when 20% off but that's a brilliant price!)

They have also had them in the works but think they are 19.99, they are huge though the ones in the works.

Is it still SAVANNAH for ELC discount? And if so what discount does that give?

just bought 2 penguins couldnt resist (y)

SAVANNAH or BC0912 should still work. May or may not work on sale items (seems to for some and not others). Both give 20% off.

Just a warning about shopto.net - I received their package today and one of the items was badly damaged. It had obviously been opened before being sent out and the box was very tatty. The envelope was perfect though - not a dent so it must have been like that before sending. Going to contact them about a replacement but the website states that I would have to pay p&p myself. Will update with what they say.

Just spoke to them and they were very helpful, going to refund in full and I won't be charged postage - very impressed!

gutted i missed out on the elc gruffalo set would of been great gift but out of stock

I emailed the chocolate people last night and had a very nice reply this morning confirming my cancellation. I feel like I've just used them for personal gain now.

Waiting , my 5 year old ds chose a hugglebuddy unicorn (all white and pink) for his birthday.

Thats fabmistress what an ace son he sounds! we have got Dn the unicorn for christmas it is very soft i almost want one

Tesco had the original pillow pets (bee and unicorn) for £15 when I popped in yesterday. They're massive! I got a few from the Works last year for two of my dc for £4 each.

Thanks Waiting, he is half softie and half ninja at the moment.
silver by mail have a sale on at the moment - not cheap cheap but some nice earrings etc, have bought from them in the past.
Oreo I ordered the M&S hampers on Dec 15th last year - got a £30 one for £15. Hard to imagine waiting till December though, I want it all done before Novemeber!

Are there any Currys or Comet codes about? I have my eye on something electrical for someone and it's quite expensive

Those that did the chocolate tasting, how did you pay? Is it possible to do a bank transfer/ pay over the phone/ online?

Paid by PayPal I think. Dh & i started on them last week!

We've eaten all of them already! They were very good, wish I could afford £20 a month to keep having them!

I just wanted to say, I ordered from Easyart (recommended on the last thread) (or was it the one before!) about 2 weeks ago. Despatch date was set for yesterday-ish, which seemed a long time to wait but anyway.

I just got an email from them saying that they haven't got any left of the print I really wanted

so I've asked them to cancel the whole order.

They were apologetic but I'm pretty disappointed.

Just be aware that their despatch times are very very slow.

FREE5 gives you £5 off a £35 spend at IWOOT

Gruffalo gift set back in stock at ELC £10.99 down to £2.74

www.elc.co.uk/My-First-Gruffalo-Gift-Set/132411,default,pd.html

Chocolate Club:
I paid online- their paperwork seems aimed at postal payment but there is info on the back of the invoice and the website is ok. Customer service is good.

Thanks MistressIggi, I will leave it to a bit nearer the time to see if they drop the prices again. I will still have time to get something even if they don't.

I signed up for zulily but I don't think that anything reffered me through your account reastie

Child Christmas Duvet

I have just come back from tesco.

3 for 2 on all toys. I bought a bob the builder workbench that was half price, a garbage truck and a set of emergency vehicles. £64 worth of toys for £31. I call that a result! The workbench was supposed to be £40 on its own!

Thank you for this thread x

very jealous you got the garbage truck is it the one that moves up and down? ds really wants it and its sold out online and in my local store my tesco is pretty rubbish

In Tesco Borehamwood they had this Hot Wheels Team Hot Wheels 5 Pack for £3.88 whereas it says £5.96 online.

and I got it as part of the 3 for 2 offer

Just got back from Tesco and they have 100 wooden blocks marked down to £2.50 not part of the 3 for 2 but still a bargain.

oreo Lakeland have collections of food gifts starting at about £15 which might be suitable for your MIL.

Thanks for the Grufallo ELC link - have ordered one - free postage too - tis great

Naghoul if you followed the link I'm sure it worked!

Dammit, the Disney Boxset I linked to in previous thread has had it's product page changed to say 1 disc. Am really annoyed. Really sorry to all the people who have ordered this I haven't received my order yet.

No worries moosey - mine hasn't yet been dispatched so I've just cancelled the order. Thanks for letting us know.

Ive just cancelled too after noticing it had changed, naughty amazon.dont worry though moosy still not a bad buy for £3 but dnephew already had this one

My monster high create a dolls for 8.99 turned up yesterday, quite pleased with them for 8.99 dont think id of paid 17.99 for them. sd will like them though.

I cancelled my Disney DVD's yesterday too, we have several nice old school Mickey and crew christmas DVD's so it wasnt worth the risk that it would be utter crap. Tho interestingly a few days ago I went to organise a return for an item purchased from Amazon that cost £2.80 and got a message - sorry you didnt like your item but keep it and we'll arrange your refund - obviously not worth the return postage etc... the item isnt great tho and I wouldnt give it as a gift for the person I had in mind but the school fayre will benefit!!!

Thanks for the Gruffalo sets that is brilliant, I got two for 20mth old's stocking and a first birthday present coming up Free postage too!!

Have caved and bought the Gruffalo set too seeing as it was free postage. Have been feeling bad that a friend's son hadn't quite got as much as their daughter so that will make it even.

anyone got any good deals on beauty other than L'occinane and molton brown?

Mooseymoo, I am starting to go off you I think! I have loved all the bargains and have spent saved a fortune BUT I was sorely tempted by the dp sale, only saved by the thought that I can't shut my wardrobe door so can't possibly need more clothes, even bargain ones!

I've cancelled too, thanks for letting us know Moosey I only bought it as it was a bargain anyways!!

Just to say thanks to iloveblue, got a voucher from Into the Blue for my folks with your 20% off, fab!

LOVING this thread, got Playmobil, OK scarves, feeling very confident about Xmas. Now just need to find something good to share myself

Does anyone have any free delivery codes for ELC? Thanks

www.playmobil.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-GB-Site/en_GB/Search-Show?cgid=DISCONTINUED

a few playmobil bargains on the official website.
I got ds the pirate ship the newer one is nearly £45 so £20 for an older model is a bargain

Free Delivery on ELC was automatic when I ordered half an hour ago

Oh great that Kiwi... Did any of the discount codes work?

Thank you for the Guffalo gift set link. That will be fab in DD's stocking.

Boots sell Happyland toys which are also on the 3 for 2 offer, so could work out cheaper than ELC, plus they have an extra points day this week, different days depending where you live where if you spend £50+ in store you get £12 worth of points

aspiemum ah, you don't mean that I've only got a few under the christmas tree presents to go and then I'm done so won't be posting as much as I have been.

<hears everybody's credit cards sigh with relief>

Nooooo don't slow down moosey. You've been fab on this thread. It will be a real shame if this thread goes really quiet before Christmas.

Not exactly a gift but M&S have the musical christmas tree biscuit tin at half price so £5 instead of £10 this week - just had to be bought!

Also my lovely hand made wooden names arrived from here:www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PERSONALISED-WOODEN-NAME-PLAQUES-CHILDRENS-/120947080253?pt=UK_Children_s_Decor&hash=item1c2901fc3d
really lovely

No don't slow down, I was just jesting with you

I'm nearly finished too, thankfully doesn't stop me looking though!

this is very cute

Got my paperjamz drums from entertainer, only ordered it on sunday so very impressed. It's much bigger than I'd thought it would be, kind of dwarfs the hex-ant I've bought for his brother - even though the ant was dearer!

I've just bought the gruffalo from ELC too! My purse is screaming.

I just seem to keep adding to children's piles and adult men are being left well behind. Got so many lovely things from l'occitane and mb.

Don't go Moosey, we need you!

Exactly the same here. DD's pile has just had the Gruffalo added to it (and I bought an extra two sets for her little friends). DH, DDad and DFiL have pretty much nothing in their piles. Sigh....

for all the codes though!! Keep them coming!

Can anyone remember the site fir the discount ugg boots? Think it was 2 threads ago possibly?

have just ordered this for DS2
sooooo cute!!
www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=293538157381668&set=pb.149840561751429.-2207520000.1351615374&type=3&theater

I'll be lurking and posting if I see a bargain. I can't believe I've pretty much finished Xmas shopping (and a few bday presents too).

Thanks for the Gruffalo gift book set. Have ordered 2. Love the top beingginger so cute.

Thanks for the Gruffalo set from me too. Another one ticked off the list.

H&M are doing fantastic Christmas Aprons for £1.99 - see here

Lovely Aprons

Oh wow beingginger my boys are definitely getting those!

to add - I have used code 0230 for a bit more off - not sure what it is exactly - maybe 25% off one item?

Moosey, don't desert us! I bet you can't anyway - this is a bit addictive isn't it .

Thanks for the tip Allalonenow, I will check out Lakeland too. Iirc there is a £5 code somewhere on one of these threads!

Bombus make gorgeous gifts, personalised map extracts and other things. 15% off till end of today only with code Justbecause15 . I have bought anniversary gifts twice and they are gorgeous

I may have missed it but does anyone have a free delivery code for Hamleys. Found a stocking I want for DS2 but postage is nearly the same as the cost!

since findign Home Bargains on this thread and ordering from them I've been getting their weekly email. Have you seen this weeks? If you're looking for a christmas hamper basket they have some reasonable looking ones for £6.99 or £5.99 and there's a few other good looking offers on there too.

20% off at Paperchase from 31st Oct until 5th Dec, enter red20 at the checkout

Home Bargains has a few decent children's DVDs on the website for £2.99 & £3.99, ordered Lego Clutch Powers for DS1 and Peppa Pig Winter Wonderland for DS2. Agree the baskets look good for hampers.

Not online, but Sainsburys have got 25% off clothing again, includes dressing up clothes and lots of nice winter woolly things, hats, scarves, etc. Till Monday.

Tesco clothing F&F have free international shipping

Just bought a Christmas DVD from Home Bargains, which has 2 discs: littlest light on the christmas tree and night before christmas (mary englebreit version).

Reduced to £1.49 and 50p for postage so £1.99 in total.

<I will get a christmas DVD bargain!>

Good god! Nearly got stung for delivery charges of almost £14 at zulily. For 2 items! What a total rip off.

EBay have posted a code on Facebook for 10% of toys (excluding p&p), when paying by PayPal. Code is CUKFB220

I need five christmas stockings... trying to find a 3for2 bargin or a really good deal?!? If not I will have nowhere to put all these bargins

Sminko, have another bash at that with Zulilly. Delivery should be £3.95 for the first item and then anything else you buy that day gets free delivery.

Or send a query to their help desk. When I bought stuff from them I was only charged the £3.95.

It was a couple of months ago now, but I can't see them putting the delivery up to that much it is extortionate!

Have bought the gruffalo set - very happy.

What do 6 year old girls like? I need a small present for a little girl I don't know very well!

OhTheConfusion, Home bargains had some nice felt ones for either £2 or £3. I think they only had 2 designs though. I've just had a look at the website and they are not on there, but if you have a local store you should have a look.

They had a few nice christmas bits actually, I got a few bits the other week.

Thanks oreo, I'll have another look just in case as they were lovely items. I'm definitely not paying £14 to have them delivered though. I came so close to pressing "place order" on the final screen- luckily I glanced at down and saw the delivery fee just in time!

Am makin my own stockings this year but think I've done them a tad big now got to fill them. Any ideas on ss aged 8 he's lagging fifty quid behind Ds and sd in presents but I don't know what to get

Ugg deals. I posted the link about them before but I can't remember what or where it was! I probably got the deal from the website I've linked.

All of the deals that are not faded should still be live, but obviously you will have to give them a try!

Also Office has 20% off I posted the code earlier today somewhere up there ^, so have a look there too.

I joined zuilly last night to buy a wooden cake but the delivery charge was £10.95 <faints>

Thank you oreo Although your link sent me to playdough? We do need playdough actually!

Well, the playdoh set is a good one, I picked it up today and it's huuuge! Hang on a tick and I will get you the right link!

Uggs?

Regarding zuilly, it depends in what you order for delivery charge.
I don't know if you could manipulate it by ordering something cheap and then get the most expensive on the free delivery....

M&s have a lovely musical biscuit tin in the shape of a Xmas tree in their half price food offers£5, in store only, I think. They also have. Chocolates for £3.

Sob- delivery still 13.95. So I will leave it for now.

That seems very unfair. I ordered shoes, so they would be cheap to deliver, if you are getting a big toy it must be more. Suddenly the deals don't look so good, considering that Amazon et al offer free delivery and are usually close in price.

Ooh I want musical biscuit tins! A tenner on the website so will haul myself to a store.
Have bought a Chas n Dave Xmas CD for £4 on Amazon

Oh, I bought an M&S musical biscuit tin to make up 3 for 2 last year, it was beautiful but the music was excruciatingly out of tune and awful, I donated it to a raffle.

I wanted a toddler's hoody and a small krooom cardboard castle so 13.95 really extortionate, imo. They look nice but not so nice I want to pay 1/3 more in postage.

Never mind. Plenty more fish in the sea thanks to these excellent threads.

sminko have you tried just ordering one, and separate order for other? As you only pay postage nice per day?

*once

Oreo my 6 year old girl likes any sort of arty crafty stuff, playdough, Hama beads, colouring sets (not babyish ones), also Moshi Monsters, Lego, all sorts of small creature toys (Zoobles etc).

My time to spa order arrived, well part of it. I have one free gift, delivered by courier at 8pm at night!! Do they normally dispatch separately? Seems expensive!

Thanks WhoKnows. I saw some sequin art sets advertised that I thought looked cool - would that be the sort of thing? No idea what they cost though, but I'm sure I can track down a bargain!

Oreo, thanks I had looked on the website and my search returned a box of cadbury selection boxes . I will do a store search as I can't think of one near me but heres hoping!

Sminto I have never paid more than £4.20 delivery from Zulily, it seems to be pure luck on the items

Waitingforastartofall The stockings I made were huge as well. Pattern didn't look like it would be so big when it was just paper bu they're really deep. I've bought some pirate foam bath from Wilko's to try and fill them a bit. I also stick in some of the chocolate relatives buy and any cards with money in go in them too.

Thanks, moosey. I did 2 orders and paid 3.95 delivery on first (but was able to use mumsnet20 code) then nothing on second. Not quite as bargainatious as I'd hoped but I like the items and have been looking out for the kroom castle.

Agree with Hama beads. Was babysitting the other day for 5 and 8 year old girls and I was amazed at how absorbing they found them.

Excellent sminko I would have fainted at £13 postage!

Oreo - yes, that's the sort of thing, just need to check the label as some are more suitable for older children, I was looking at some myself a while ago, in fact might look for one for DD. She was given this for her birthday Paintastics which was a huge hit, I have bought them for several of her friends' birthdays since and they have been well received.

Good plan crafty might buy some matey that should fill half up they are cute though

oreo you're correct, I am addicted to finding bargains. Might need therapy after this thread!

I ordered shoes from zulily a couple of weeks ago. I went to pay through PayPal and the postage was extortionate. I went back looking to see if there was a cheaper postage option but couldn't find it without going to checkout. So I clicked to pay using my debit card and delivery came up as 3.95.

Oreo can you post the play doh link again? Thanks!

Yes, I had a similar problem with Zulily. Went to pay for some books via Paypal and they were going to charge me £10.95 for postage. I emailed them and was told to use my debit card but the deal had finished by that time.

For those who are after craft sets Fred Aldous are doing free postage on orders over £10. They have loads of hama bits, plus lots of sale stuff. I've just noticed they've got Uni-ball scented pens reduced to £1 each which my DS's would love.

Play doh. This was posted earlier on the thread and I bought it for DD. I'm very happy with it. A great starter set and a really good price, was over £30 on Amazon when I bought it.

I've had a look at the sequin art and they are a bit more than I wanted to pay (her baby brother is getting the £2.75 gruffalo book!). The paint by numbers thing looks good, so I might go with that. Off to have a look around Fred Aldous too. Thank you!

.

[sad[ the christmas hamper baskets i mentioned earlier from home bargains are store collection only which is rubbish! I don't live anywhere near one so can't get one

Just wanted to check with anyone with/ that knows an 11yr old girl.. Would nail varnish, nail stickers etc be suitable?

Seen some bits im thinking of on the Fragrance direct website that was linked to earlier.

Can I ask a silly question about hama beads? My 6 year old would love them, but I don't quite get it, once you've ironed the beads do they come off the pegboard so you can reuse it or are they then stuck to the pegboard forever?

They come off and you reuse the pegboard. Ds loves them. However if I were you I'd buy a big tub of ikea ones and a packet of ikea pegboards - soooooo much cheaper.

No you put the paper over them iron the top side side, lift off, flip over, remove board put paper on and iron then you take the paper off and reuse it.

Hope that makes sense.

Bea i have been looking at these beads for dd.

Looks like a good amount of beads and boards and reduced by £5.00

Thank you, thought they must but thought I'd check before buying millions of beads and only a few boards!

My DCs (6 and 8) love Hama beads, I thought it would be a shortlived thing, they've been going strong with them for about 3 years now. I like doing them myself from time to time too. They're a bugger when they get spilled though, especially on hard floors, they roll everywhere. Very good for concentration, pattern recognition and fine motor skills.

pigley my niece is 10 and I got her a cute boxed nail varnish set with bright colours and stickers. She LOVED it! I also got her an inexpensive charm bracelet and a lollipop shaped lip balm from Claires Accessories too which she loved. They have loads of nice things in Claires for that sort of age range like crazy flavoured lip balms and kitsch necklaces etc.

Bea been looking at these as well

DDs are 9 and 6 and they love beads but Whoknows is right, when they get dropped on the wooden floors i just hoover them up!!

For anyone with a Gruffalo fan have a look here

That Argos Hama deals great

Yes i think i may get that one, free delivery on it too. You can pick up boards on ebay, our local independent toy shop sells lots too.

I fancied getting DD Hama beads too... Would you recommend the Argos deal or the Ikea ones?

Hobbycraft do their own brand range of beads which are cheaper than Hama. They don't sell them in the same quantities, so you have to do some maths on the spot, but they are just the same.

Yes, we've got that box from Argos, we just top it up. It doesn't have any grids with it, you need to get them separately. My two have a mixture of the basic grids (squares, circles etc) and the specific, animal shaped ones. I just buy extra bags of beads in any colours we are getting sort of. They also get a new grid and bag of beads each in their Christmas stocking, this year they are getting glow in the dark beads.

We get ours from this website now, as we only want extras not whole kits now. craftmerrily, they have a sister website beadmerrily that has all sorts of patterns and ideas.

Not happy have been patiently waiting for Boots extra points days and the largest thing I want is out of stock but have found it on amazon but not 3 for 2!

The little girl in question is coming over tomorrow so I shall probe a bit and make my decision because there are too many good ideas!

Bargain christmas dvd. Is this bargain enough? £5 for 3 mickey christmas films. Once upon a christmas, twice upon a christmas and mickey's magical christmas.

Basil brush crazy christmas dvd £2 free del at HMV.

Boom boom sorry, couldn't help myself

Has anyone seen any mothercare codes around?

2012 Harrods Christmas Bear was £24.99 now £19.99. However £5.95 postage

www.harrods.com/product/chester-christmas-2012-bear/harrods/000000000002747824?cat1=new-gifts&cat2=new-gifts-bears&icid=L2-redirect-Christmas-ChristmasBear-181012

Wilko do a little sets similar to Hama beads as part of their stocking filler stuff. They are quite sweet and are only £2 each.

Oreo sequin art sets are in home bargains for £3.99 but they aren't showing up online.

Sylvanian regency house now half price on Argos , £59 rather than £100 odd. Sorry can't link.

I'm feeling left out now as I got DD aquabeads. Have I made a mistake?

My DD has an aqua bead set as well as Hama beads and she has had a lot of use out of both. Aqua have the advantage of not needing an iron to stick them together.

Thank you insanity I will pop down tonight and see if they have some at my local store. Fingers crossed!

A link to the sylvanian families hotel.

Argos also have the toy exchange on which will bring it down to £49.99.

They also have the voucher rewards on so if you spend more than £50 you get a £5 voucher.

So I would do the toy exchange and bring this down to 49.99 and buy something like a roll pf wrapping paper for £1 to take you back over the £50 and get a voucher.

M&S Cava £2.63 a bottle if you buy 12. Ends today.

Here. Includes free delivery. Don't forget to go through quidco for cash back too.

Worth it for stocking up for the festive plonky season.

I've got dd1 sticky mosiacs for her 5th birthday as they get good reviews on Amazon.

Do you think she is a bit young for hama beads?

Also tesco are starting 25% off 6 bottles of wine tomorrow apparently. Wonder if this will work with the voucher exchange on the finest wines?

Worth keeping you eyes peeled.

Argos Imaginext ocean boat half price £24.99

Is imaginext an alternative to playmobil or totally différent?

Spookysal - not at all ds has them and has done for a while and isn't six for another 2 months

Thanks for the boat link. Maybe that's DS sorted! Does anyone have it. It says from 3 but DS is 2.5. Ideas?

They are similar I believe, but I'm not really sure. I know both are very popular and in demand!

marking my place- great idea for a thread

I think 2.5 will be fine. My DD is 2.2 and I would get it for her (if I was still shopping for her).

Sal - my DD has been doing Hama beads since she was about 4.

Thanks! Not sure if i should be giving him a mix of imaginext or playmobil or sticking to one!

Thanks Bea and WhoKnows, that's something else I can add to the list for a Christmas present.

Thinking of getting the beads from Argos. Are there are deals/codes for Argos

Up to 75% off at Ascension ethical living
No code required, might be good for socks and underwear for men's presents, postage £4.95.
Ordered DS(5) some converse-alikes for £6.25

Sorry incorrect link:
www.ascensiononline.com

Thanks for that Imaginext boat one. I have reserved mine to pick up.My Ds got his first Imaginext item when he was 2.5 and he loved it. I think the Imaginext stuff is really fantastic especially for the smaller ones as it's not so fiddly. DS has played with his Imaginext Batcave nonstop all year whereas he is only starting to play with his Playmobil castle that was ruinously expensive.
He says he wants the Imaginext castle but I'll get him the boat instead.

.

Thanks for that poozle. I'm a bit that the boat doesn't float. I'm pretty sure it will be getting into the bath with DS ...

Brand Alley have a converse sale on. Mainly men's and with limited sizes but I know they're popular so though I'd post it. I use the app so don't have a link

There's some great things on theat ascension website. You have to be lucky with sizes though.

Thankyou very much for the Argos links - I'm humming and harring about the Sylvanian hotel. And wondering if it's compatible with Playmobil...

Ds2 has been eyeing up Sylvanians for a few weeks now. I think he woud like it.

Marks and Spencer have 25% off children's toys, books, puzzles - some lovely things especially for little ones. Just saved £18

Just collected the lego vampyre castle, from argos, was 79:99 reduced to 59.99, took in some old toys for 5 pounds off, got a voucher to spend by end of nov for another 5 pounds. As long as I spend it on something useful like batteries which we will use anyway, it will be the equivalent of 50 pounds - that is what I have told dh!!! Also got the sun for 40p and got a free lego monster pouch picked up from toys r us - but can also get @ whsmiths, for one stocking, not sure if I can bring myself to buy it again for other two dc but offer is on until sunday.

Free p&p with the book people (ends tonight). Enter pumpkin at checkout.

Not sure if this has been posted already today but Disney Store online are doing free delivery for TODAY ONLY using the code REGENTFREE...........saving £4.95 postage. Phew..........was about to order stuff last night but the site was playing up........SO glad it was!

Morning all. I've just been looking on Amazon for Christmas book ideas for DD - to read with her in the run up to Christmas (she's 14 months), and I came across this Lullaby Book with CD. I think it's lovely and would also make a really nice gift too. Quite a good price if you choose free delivery. No reviews yet but it is Usborne and in my experience they are usualy pretty decent books. I'm going to take a punt and order one I think....

.

Gutted! I had another order of facecloths to do and silly iPad wouldn't work on the checkout the other day and now they are back to £4 booooooooo!

15% off at www.findmeagift.com with code earlybird15

Urban thank you thank you for the Disney code I had seen some hulk pjs in store when the kids were with me and wanted to get them for Christmas but when I went to order them online I couldn't justify 4.95 delivery for 12 quid pjs

oreo thanks for the Disney DVD link. This is perfect, I've been debating whether to buy once or twice upon a time so saved me a decision and an extra one with it!! Perfect! Plus free delivery

monahue when i tried this it says coupon already linked to an ebay account so must only be for yourself or one use.

Well my Elemis Time to spa order has arrived. With no free gifts.

So it is going back. The small print says subject to availability, so I'm presuming they have sold out. Only I received an email not an hour ago offering me the same offer again.

Bad form Time to spa.

Will be returning my order.

Anyone found the santa claus box set ( one two and three) any cheaper than amazon or is that my best bet for £8.00. Its going in my christmas eve box

I have another Molton Brown code for you.

GET3 for 3 free travel size tubes worth £24 when you spend £50.
GET5 for 5 free travel size tubes worth £40 when you spend £70.

Not as great as the other codes for getting cheap stuff, but a bargain if you are putting an order in.

Waiting it seems to £8 everywhere I've looked. Might be worth sticking it on your wish list for a couple of weeks to see if it drops. It's available all over so I don't think you will have a problem getting it if you wait a while.

Waiting for a star I just checked my amazon history I bought the box set with 1 2 and 3 for £4.99 on December 3rd last year.

ah thats a good idea ive got an amazon gift voucher but probably should be focusing on presents ! i love those films though.

GET IN!!! 12 bottles of rosa cava from M&S for under £3 each in delivery (£31.50) as opposed to £108
here

Argos Scooby doo hide and seek £14.99 half price.

I luff you Afro . Just ordered 12 bottles. Will be great as small presents for friends we see over Christmas and I will happily quaff my way through the rest!

Pleased to help! These threads have been brilliant. my crimbo shopping is done now, got some lovely things for my DS he'll be thrilled with and got some great thrifty tips. That wine is such a bargain and tastes lovely, had some last year so we are über chuffed too.

Now I can relax, in under 5 weeks I'm due to give birth, been fixated on getting Christmas sorted so we can enjoy the run up (bleary eyed with a newborn!).

Big thank you Afro - I have ordered my fizz, what a bargain!

Oreo, I only have one free gift so far! An hoping that's not it!

I've got one free gift too, still waiting on scrub and other free gift.

Very strange.

Why do they dispatch separately, and by courier too? Surely not economical. Ah well, I'll give it a week before I chase it up.

For anyone who remembers my saga with the entertainer, they still haven't taken payment back out again! I want to phone them to sort it out but a but worried they'll take it 3 times again!

I got an email from Boots inviting me to order online and would get £12 worth of points when spending £75. Didn't realise it was online as well, did the usual household order (nappies etc) and got £16 worth of points.

8% through Quido too (I remembered to do it!!)

31st Oct and 1st Nov only

.

M&S wine now sold out.... - was contemplating some more ....hic

I will give time to spa another week to see if the free gifts turn up. I didn't realise they posted them seperatley.

Off to home Bargains to see if they have the sequin art in. I will have a scout around and see if there is anything else of note and report back!

Went in the Entertainer today and they have lotsof hama beads and puzzles half price.

In Tesco I picked up half price Halloween outfits for dressing up box. All reduced from £8 down to £1 - £3 each. Picked up clown, skeleton and a witch outfit that could pass as a princess gown (in the dc eyes anyway)

Also picked up a cheap Manadaville for dd1s stocking as a reminder of our trip to the Olympics in the summer.

I also picked up the felt Christmas cards from Mothercare that was recomended on one of the old threads so thanks for that.

Also picked up Pop Up Pirates from The entertainer, think that recomendation also came from these threads so thank you.

Just realised that I said Tesco outfits were half price, they were obv reduced more than that! Shopping has addled my brain.

Home bargains had a poor showing today, lots of empty shelves so I think they must be re stocking.

No sequin art, but did find some bits of playmobil that might be of intrest

Ghost pirates £3.99

Treasure hunters camp £9.99

Clam £6.99

And another thing that was £7 but I can't remember!

Saw those penguin pillows in the flesh too they look good.

I bought a mens nivea set for £4 and a mini football table for BIL for £4.

Had a few mens stocking filler type gifts. Wooden and metal magic puzzles, mini football, golf and snooker, gadget keyrings.

Shoopshoop, Julia Donaldsons 'Stick Man' is a December favourite in our house... he just want to get back to the family tree in time for Christmas [sob].

Oh spooky might try tescos tomorrow then and see if they have any mega cheap Halloween costumes for DD next year/for dressing up

Haha! Just had another courier delivery, of my second free gift from time to spa - just need the item I ordered now not that I can remember what it was

Thanks for Disney free delivery code, just got DD's present from my Mum!

Tesco Kindle and leather case for £63.97, using stackable codes.

Don't forget quidco for CB too.

5% discount on 1st class stamps at superdrug instore, now untill 24th Dec. max of 72 stamps per person per day.

Lego Olivia's House £49.99. Some one asked about discounts for this a while ago. Hope they are still lurking and see this!

Smyths £54.99 then use voucher code 600212 for another £5 off.

Not sure of this will work or not but I had an email from mamas & papas with a link to claim a £5 voucher. So I did and got £5 off a £10 outfit (works on sale items too)
I can forward it on to anyone who'd like it and they can always see if they can claim a voucher also? Just pm me your email address.

Actually there are few lego sets going cheap at Smyths - they are price matching Amazon and you can use that code to get £5 off, so worth checking out if you are still looking out for Lego - or any toys I suppose!

TD-PXTM gives £5 off any order over £40 at tescos direct. Not much but, every little helps

Just found this sweet little christmas mug from Debenhams. With KL32 for 10% off, and store delivery for free.

It comes with tree shaped marshmallows good for Xmas eve hampers?

Oreo hi there, I've just been looking at John Lewis site (for chocolate for my lovely DIL) but noticed they had a nice country cheese/pickle hamper for £25, maybe more classy than Lakeland.
I know my Dad was always more impressed when I sent him M&S hampers rather than stuff I had just collected myself!

Oh no Moosey they're out of stock - I'm gutted

Sorry I've only just ordered (hope it still comes through)

I'm sure it will, it was a good spot! I think I might have a look in store hopefully they might still be in stock there

Polly Pocket most is half RRP price, some a bit more, some a bit less but all below RRP at Home Bargains.

My entertainer order finally arrived - two days late - I emailed them yesterday as they phoned me about last Wednesday to say the courier said my address didn't exist (does, I'm sat in it). Heard no more till I emailed yesterday and they got back this morning to say it was in th couriers van and would be delivered by 5.30, which it was, but no one in and the courier left in the recycling bin! The entertainer have been really helpful but their courier is crap.

On the good side, it's the paper jamz drums, I had no idea they were so big! Am well impressed and very very happy. Hooray. They are for dd1 and at 13 all her parcels are small and mega pricey compared to dd2's huge 8 year old pile of massive cheap boxes, so very happy to add volume.

Reastie Halloween outfits now half price at M&S with free next day delivery to store. We always buy a couple for dressing up

I've just been on and bought DD some FitByForty! Was coming here to share, quite a few left too.

Allalone now, thank you I will have a wander over to JL and check them out! Will probably order myself lots of delicious things to eat while on the hunt for the perfect hamper

Just tried to get the lego at smyths but they have a hefty delivery of £4.99 unless anyones got a free delivery code too??

Hi there I too had an order come today from the Entertainer. I am very impressed with them. In with the order is a leaflet with some good bargains. They have twister dance for £21.60. Which is a good price, it seems to be one of the popular toys this year and lots of places are out of stock. They also have a box if 150 magic tricks reduced from £20 to £5. Moon sand delights bake shop reduced from £23.00 to £11.50 and loads of other stuff.

I am sorry I don't know how to do links I am just reading the offers from the leaflet in front of me. Might be worth checking this website. I am just going to order twister dance before it sells out.

oreo thaks for the tesco kindle codes, i just bought a kindle and a case for my best friend for £63 savng myself £20

I haven't yet oreo. I would have been really tempted by the tesco offer which is the best I've seen, but I'm still hanging on grimly for the double Argos vouchers deal as I now have £75 on my nectar card again....So free kindle plus money off the mini fridge plus £20 back in Argos vouchers...just wish it would hurry up!!

Oh no, loved the price of those little mugs but they are all gone now.

I've missed the kindle offer--away to search thread for it seeing as I left mine in a hotel last weekend!

Any suggestions on where to get a good deal on a ladies lightweight cotton dressing gown?

Bought several M&S Xmas tree biscuit things (music isn't that bad!) today. Also some cheap moon dough in Sainsburys, but ds1 was with me so had to hand it over And 25% off clothes is still on - got sleeping bag and cute (and unnecessary) outfit for ds2.
Now hunting a digital photo frame for MIL..

That's a great tip about the Superdrug stamps, never knew that before

Just seen an advert - Argos vouchers offer is on this weekend but not the double ones, £5 with £50 and £10 with £100 spend, so I think I will finally get the kindle!

Also buy one get one free on Christmas drinks in Starbucks until Monday if anyone is out and about

Oh yes they are on now rhonda. Was in argos this afternoon. Clean forgot about it!

Oh ffs kindle is now out of stock for 20 miles.

I'm starting to feel this is not meant to be.

rhondajean I got that offer instore today, 5 pounds off a 50 pound spend, plus I took a small bag of baby toys and got a 5 pound voucher which I used in store as an instant saving. Will use the other 5 pound voucher for batteries or some such 'essential' to justify the cost!

Argh never! Do you have to do it instore to use your nectar points? If you can use them online there is one in a store near me I could collect and post on?

Thanks for the starbucks tip! Have just arranged a coffee with a friend for the monring

3 bunnies - could you use them together?

Just thought it through and probably not..

Just wanted to say a big Thumbs up to the people fromwww.thespicery.com/

Following a post on one of the earlier threads about them I ordered my Dad the monthly gift subscription for xmas. I stupidly ordered the wrong thing! Fantastic friendly customer service in changing it for me so very easily.
Would recommend them!

I think it has to be in store. I'll keep checking for them coming back into stock and if not mibbe go for a day out on Saturday. The good news is the mini fridges are still reduced

Can't use them together as didn't get the 5 pound one until I had spent over 50 pounds, hence justifying my spend by promising myself that I will look in the clearance I will only spend the fiver on sensible things like batteries, so in my mind saving ten pounds in total, rather than spending 50! Have just realised that if we are at my parents for Christmas they probably won't approve of the monster themed lego (Halloween etc banned at our house when growing up), opps!! Will make dh happier about the spend, he loves things which wind them up!

Just put in an order using PUMPKIN with book people for free delivery at any price. Only til midnight tonight. Now just have one couple to buy for, dh and my mother (though she will only want something small). Then I must cut up my card, oh but no, dd1 + dd2 birthdays in feb, will just have to keep on spending! Oh and can never have enough stocking fillers!

I just ordered a wizards outfit for the dressing up box I'm putting together for a Christmas present from M&S. Thanks for the tip fitbyforty

Also ordered some of the singing rhyme books that were recomended on here (5 little speckled frogs etc) so thank you.

The Halloween decorations are also reduced in M&S and still on a 3 for 2 which is applied at checkout. But I think they are selling out fast. I bought three packs of glow braclets for bonfire night and to stick in the stockings. Also added some new decorations for next Halloween.

ScorpionQueen - I work for Clarks, we have vouchers in the shop with the code on them.

Thanks for the Starbucks tip - I'm meeting a friend for coffee on Friday.

I know they don't pay their share of tax but they are the only coffee shop near me that sell gluten free sandwiches.

I want to order the half price pumpkin outfit from m&s for dd next year but fx it's still in stock tomorrow. They don't give cashback from mobiles!

Pack of 4 christmas mugs half price £20 to £10, Debenhams. Fine China and lovely design.

Not so much of a bargain but a warning...

Apparently comet are looking like they might go into administration as early as this week according to Martin Lewis on the moneysavingexpert site. No guarantees that it will happen but strong likelihood.

So don't buy comet gift vouchers as there's a good chance they will be worth diddly squat.

And I assume that if you have any vouchers lying around, then use them quickly as they often stop taking them if a company goes into administration

Ok, own up guys, whose broken the Argos clearance website with their massive demands? And I wanted to spend my 5 pound gift voucher on a bargain, looks like it's batteries then.

Mamas and Papas have 10% off for the next 4 days including sale items.

Zulily well worth checking out today. Grown up kitchen stuff that looks good plus Le Toy Van farm down to £20.

Great thread!
Lego Vampire Castle now 54.99 on Amazon.
Pumpkin Patch sale on coats and jackets, then use this code for extra 20 per cent off UKPRSC2

Just spotted this Halloween witch costume in tesco reduced to £1, might be another good dressing up buy? Free delivery to local store.

Imaginext Robot Police half price Argos.

Just ordered some Lego Monsters stuff from Amazon, thanks Rosie29

Fisher Price up to 50% off at Argos. They've got the Little People Noah's ark on offer which is very popular.

Have been lurking since the first thread but can't post from my phone and haven't found any amazing deals either, until now. Thank you for the codes and deals that have helped us get free postage from the Red House, money off at ToysRus, etc..

Using the £12 of points off a £75 spend online at Boots offer, which finishes tonight, I have bought the Falcon Knights Playmobil castle for what amounts to £52, once I'd added in another couple of household bits to take it over £75. They have it at 20% off, so the points off on top makes it the best deal I've found. I can't remember which of the threads it was on previously, but suspect this is competitive.

Oasis have 20% off full price items with sparkle20. Accessories section have some nice scarves, smart phone cases, earrings, sparkly knit hats and gloves- some lovely items for teenagers, sil...

They also have a 70% off sale on as well

Anyone else had a problem with there la redoute converse? I've had to send back 2 pairs as they keep sending me a 5.5 instead of a 5! The boxes say 5 but that's not what I get boooo

Oh shame, that Robot police Imaginext is out of stock at my 10 nearest aegos shops. Would have been perfect for DS.

I'm just too damn slow.

Finally joining the thread instead of lurking, and just wanted to say how much I luffs you all
I'm actually getting on with my shopping (Xmas and 3 DCs birthdays in Dec and Jan) rather than panickIng about it!

This though is the gruffalo's bollocks!

Red House have Dear Santa and you can get Just Right at £2.99

I can't get the free delivery to work 131FREE but I think I've used it already.

Waaaah
They're hairy, they're heinus,
Its the gruffalo's penis!

Bugger - I can't spell heinouis/henous/hee-nus!

Love that. Unfortunately dd3 is obsessed with pink & orange and I think would object to that

Arf at the grufallos penis!
<how big?!>

Thank you so much for the Pumpkin Parch code. Just got DD a beautiful winter coat. Was £35, only paid £14.20 - half price and used 20% off code. Also gave me free delivery! God I love a bargain.

John Lewis doing a price match sale today and tomorrow, which I guess means another of the big stores has a two day sale on too.

Got my pamper pantry stuff today, very happy with it

Just got a great pink quality wooden Le Toy Van scooter for DD (xmas gift from grandparents) from Zulily using the 20% Mumsnet code for £13.55 !! (£12 for scooter, £3.50 P&P - 20%)! Used Paypal too! Bargain!

Unable to link upload, sorry.

The Jolly Christmas Postman here for £3.90 Free delivery and still in stock Bargain!

Thanks for christmas postman tip off - just got 2 - one for DD and one for her friend

does anyone know how long the pumpkin patch code is valid for?

just got my gruffalo book from ELC. it's great, but it came by citylink. it must have cost more to post it than i paid!!

Oh beingginger does it look substantial enough to give a friends newborn DS as a congrats gift for him or will I need something else as well?

reastie the gruffalo gift set is lovely. I personally would give it on its own.

i think it's enough, it's 2 books, a little buggy one with a clip and then a bigger book with all the gruffalo pictures and opposites.
I've got it for DH cousins baby and i'm not adding anything else to it

Great, I was close to buying a really sweet pair of dungarees in the Jojo sale as well they were so cheap it seemed silly not to but I stopped myself on the thought that there's not point in spending money when I don't have to, even if it is on something amazingly bargainous!

ELC have Jungle Race for 99p and Farmyard Ride for 99p back in stock. Both reduced from £4. Have bought for my DS 1st bday

Also spotted and bought this the snowman book and CD set at only £2.40 from ELC - it's less than half the price of amazon !

ELC are doing some great book sales just now. I got those board books the other day moosey they are lovely books for 99p each.

Does anyone know if the Not on the High Street code is still going?

Just been to Boots for their Xmas event. I got a voucher so if I spend £50 at their next event (15th/16th) I'll get £5.00 of points on top of the £12 they're already giving.

Any mothercare clothing codes about?

Just spotted [[http://www.elc.co.uk/Digi-Cool-Plus-Camera/131383,default,pd.html this ] digi cool kids digital camera half price to £22.50

The imaginet ship looks fab. I picked it up today. Sure to make a big impact on Christmas day!

Also, if you're shopping on zulilly and are tempted by the jean patrique cookware, look for his website, where they are all much much cheaper!

Hmm, latrucha I've just read some threads on MSE on Jean Patrique Knives and problems various people have had with delivery etc from them, so be careful on that score, it might be fine, but I feel a bit after reading the threads (google him and they come up near the top of the search results).

Thanks sparklyvampire for the tip about jolly postman. It was out of stock on Amazon and book people when I looked last week so very happy.

Anyone got any idea when the M&S bargain hampers come out? And the Thorntons ones?

Thanks for the Jolly Christmas Postman tip. Great deal!

It looks totally dodgy all round to me. They charge you £9.99 per item for delivery and charge you 99p for the item. Must think we were bron yesterday

So, and my Time to Spa stuff has arrived - well, some of it - the free gifts have, separately, in large jiffy bags (for a titchy teeny tiny lonely tube, each) - but no sign of the thing I actually paid for. How can they run a business like that?

Marking my place, can't believe I missed Tesco kindle deal , bet i won't come back in stock until the price goes up.

it I am always in stock!

if you have clubcard vouchers for £50 worth (has to be totally vouchers) you can swop them for a 7inch android tablet and case via the clubcard reward online bit just put tablet in the serch section.

Kindle...
Now don't all get one before I've had a chance!

Anyone who bought the disney boxset I have had an email today which says all orders have been cancelled due to a mix up meaning it was only one disc instead of four but some had already been dispatched and can be returned at amazons expense.

gutted i missed the M&S cava offer, had been waiting for it Fingers crossed for another one soon x

If your looking for wine / champagne for gifts tesco have a great deal on at the minute.
They are doing 25% off 6 bottles. I just got 6 bottles of Oglio which should be £9.99 a bottle but is on their 3 for 12 offer but it seems the 25%is coming off the full price so it cost me just over £12 for all 6 bottles.
That's teachers and nursery gifts sorted

ooo really Lilyloo? that sounds like a good glitch to me! Might have to stock up on some wine. thanks

Did my Boots orders last night, 2 orders over £75, £24 worth of points.

£60 saved on the 3 for 2s as well.

Argos had DSs Thomas Quarry Climb thing at £5 off, took some old toys in, got another £5 off so £40 to £30.

Next task is to find the cheapest 3DS.

Book People have 15% off today with baubles

ohgoon for free delivery

I've been tempted into buying the Mr Men & Little Miss Glitter Box (18 books with plush Mr Tickle toy) comes to £16.99 with above discounts

Lilyloo think you got in before it was spotted!

Hi all, anyone got a REDHOUSE free delicery code 113FREE must have expired as won't accept it! thanks in advance

delivery!

I think Tesco has cottoned on to everyone going mad buying up wine and the site has gone all a bit strange.

lizmarshmallow - WRT the la redoute converse trainers, there was a disclaimer on the page that the shoes may be labelled with the wrong size, but you will in fact have been sent the correct size. I imagine that is why they had them on so cheap!

Too ill to shop today, but I seem to be coming round so will no doubt be back for some retail therapy once I have put the little person to bed! I had to miss my starbucks and everything .

hope you feel better soon oreo.

Massive thanks for the Grufalo books from elc, it's jumped straight into my top 3 bargainacious buys.

Innotab 2 £59.99 on ebay daily deals today. I think that's good though I haven't been searching.
