I need the Xmas bargain hunters please

[captainjacksparrow]

Hi bargain hunters, I need your help!

All my dc have May birthdays,
Dd1 will be 15
Ds1 will be 10
Dd2 will be 2.

Dp has lost his job and with rising energy costs I need a way to celebrate with as many bargains as possible and I know no one better than you guys!

I have vinted and eBay but not market place.

Looking for bargains so please help me!!!

Dd1 - likes crystals, band t shirts and old bibles..

Ds - Pokemon and space obsessed! Some SEN so acts a lot younger, still likes his cuddlies etc

Dd2 - Mickey Mouse obsessed! Also enjoys toy garage at playgroup which could be good as have lots of cars from when ds was younger.

Please help wise mumsnetters!

@captainjacksparrow old bibles ? seriously ? I might be able to help if you are !

@peridito I’m serious!

She loves all books but bibles in particular, recent successes include one with a rainbow cover and one with the gold down the side of the page (sure there is a technical term and hopefully you know what I mean)

She’s a serious RE buff and looking to study it at A level…

I may add she’s wonderful but perhaps not the coolest and so usual gifts for teenage girls don’t always fit the bill

@Maharajah20 I think we have bought the same tarot set for Xmas!

Space stickers look cool, he would love them.

There's a guy on ebay who sells DVDs with several different old bibles on for about £4 - I think it includes some of the really rare early ones.

The European Space Agency allows you to download their posters for free - perhaps you could get a local printer to print a couple in a large (say A2) format.

Can you sew? There a quite a few free downloadable patterns for Mickey mouse toys which could be made out of felt. If you are inspired I can probably even let you have some felt as I've been decluttering my stash.

Thanks @londonmummy1966, posters ready to download and print

I can’t sew AT ALL and certainly not for a “robust” 2 year old.

Managed to score a bargain Disney store large Minnie Mouse off vinted - £3!! but this may appear from the Easter bunny. On look out for equally bargainous Mickey/Donald/daisy

Some fab ideas here guys thank you

For DS1 send his name to mars completely free.

What kind of Pokémon things would he like? Does he have a favourite Pokémon?

He loves all and any pokemon, at a push I'd say charizard but he's not fussed. He has bedding, some cards and the nintendo switch games. It's nearly all he talks about.

His previous 8 year obsession was thomas the tank engine so at least he's moved on...

Totally sending his name to Mars, thanks for that!

Just to mention if you download the Ali Express app you can search for an item by photo - either via the camera or by uploading an image. Sometimes it will match with something similar but sometimes it will be identical. Watch out for postage costs but often postage is free.

I bought myself this “artisan” mug on Etsy which cost me £££ which I sadly broke within 6 months. Decided to look for something similar on Ali Express and found the actual one ( same marketing photo even) for about a third of the price. Man was I cheesed off.

Dive that totally sucks
