Whoops - we seem to have filled the first thread!

Let's carry on here until we can sort a proper one.

Phew! I do worry about losing you all. :)
Looking for cheap advent drawers/boxes/bags.
Should have bought them in the sales.

I'm after lovely stockings - wish I'd thought about this in January ...
Chances of getting a bargain are getting slimmer!

christmasunicorn · 12/08/2017 18:15

Thank you firefly I've been checking all afternoon and having a mini panic because there was no thread two! Awful moment.
I'm after discounts on trunki's and jurni's for a big holiday next year.
Also moana toys suitable for a 2yr old and almost 6yr old boys. They are completely obsessed with it this summer. Also trolls (for the 2yr old) and anything yo Kai watch related for the 6yr old

I haven't read the other thread so this might have been posted but Sainsburys have Jojo Siwa journals half price at £3.50 just now and 25% off some other toys, picked up some cheap tsum tsum and pokemon bits.

GeillisTheWitch · 12/08/2017 18:23

Journal same as this one <a class="break-all" href="//www.amazon.co.uk/JoJo-You-Journal-Centum-Books/dp/1911461478?tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">//www.amazon.co.uk/JoJo-You-Journal-Centum-Books/dp/1911461478?tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

unicorn trunkis were on offer at about £26 on Amazon day.

They might do them again for Black Friday?

@tootsieglitterballs have you tried Ali Express? They have some rather sweet ones and they're very reasonably priced. I bought some a couple of years ago and was very pleased with them.

Phew panic thinking I'd lose you all!

Trunkis are pretty tiny but my dd still uses her often. £23.33 at Tesco here
Also £25 at kiddicare and Halfords - I think someone posted a Halfords code on the last thread that may work?

tootsie I'm needing stockings too, holding out for the matalan Christmas range to be released as they had lovely ones at good prices last year and I missed out.

NoWordForFluffy · 12/08/2017 18:49

I've bought Trunkis from Tesco and Amazon for my two this year.

I also got some nice Nordic stockings from eBay last week. Less than £6 each, and personalised too.

LostMyRubySlippers · 12/08/2017 19:02

I bought some plain linen stockings in hobbycraft last year for £1 each & then various bits & pieces to personalise them with...but never ended up getting them done Blush
Should have enough time this year.. Although suspect I will still end up leaving them till the last minute!
They're pretty small but hopefully that means I'll buy less to fill them!

Tshirt I ordered from mountain warehouse came today- nice quality, v Jojo-esque. Bit on the small side though
Waiting on stuff from Lisa Angel & Hawkins bazaar. Loads of other things I want to buy but trying to be restrained until payday.. Summer hols are so expensive as well!!!

cowssheephens · 12/08/2017 19:03

Emoji advent calendar £14.99

There was something similar about last year, but can't remember the price.

LostMyRubySlippers · 12/08/2017 19:05

Does anyone know where the cheap poundland beer crates are that were mentioned on last thread please?
I know obvs poundland but I get confused with the different pound shops ConfusedBlush if anyone could point me in right direction!

NoWordForFluffy · 12/08/2017 19:20

These are our stockings. They're huge too, which is what I wanted!

tootsieglitterballs · 12/08/2017 19:24

@NoWordForFluffy those are lovely - eBay you say?

christmasunicorn · 12/08/2017 19:25

Thank you fluffy for the Tesco/trunki heads up.

I bought sass&belle advent calendars, fabric ones, one Santa and one rudolf
Bit disappointed for the price, they're small and a bit cheap looking tbh

APocketfulOfStars · 12/08/2017 20:37

Thanks fluffy I've just bought three for me, DH and DS. And I've just looked at Steph's link too....would it be completely over the top to order a few more stockings in case we have guests over Christmas??

NoWordForFluffy · 12/08/2017 20:49

I think that would be entirely reasonable, APocket Xmas Grin
