I am well into my christmas shopping now Grin . Just wondering if we can share any good reductions online for those early organisers. I got some lovely body lotion from L'occitaine last week 70% off plus a code for free shower gel and I've already used half a pot of one of the lotions already Blush but I just checked and it's finished Sad .

I remember last year I got a practically free tin of celebrations from viking direct via here and on the look out for bargains and was hoping people would share.

If you have someone who would like dove toiletries see this thread for £30 of free dove stuff from ocado (I've already ordered mine probably use it myself though

Every I almost bought that but realised in the nick of time that it was a book about handbags. Would have loved the bag for that price Grin

everydayaschoolday · 09/09/2012 20:01

reastie I got some lovely Swiss chocolates half price in M & S on Friday. They had quite a few deals on Chocs and were also doing two of their nice boxes of biscuits for £7.

Wolfcub · 09/09/2012 20:15

iloveblue, just watch the dates on some of those - I looked on Friday and a lot had best before dates for mid--January (which is absolutely fine if you eat your xmas chocolates quickly but I don't).

Not online but b&m bargains had good offers on moshi monsters: full set of series 1 (around 24 of them) for £12.99 (I think) and set of larger moshi monsters for about the same price. Both supposedly £25 each on toys r us and just checked amazon and they cost more on there.

BlameItOnTheCuervo · 09/09/2012 21:45

fragrance direct have some fab gift sets, inc clarins for less than half price.

BlameItOnTheCuervo · 09/09/2012 21:47

CoffeeGoneColdAgain · 09/09/2012 21:53

silver28 THANK YOU! Dd is Moshi mad!

SharonGless · 09/09/2012 22:02

Silver you just beat me to it! DS has got virtually all series 1 so not worth me getting the set.
They also have Squinkies if your Dd are into them. The Disney princess and hello kitty sets were £3.99
They make good birthday presents too
There were Angry Bird games which I haven't seen before.
Loads of games- off the top of my head monopoly, charades for children ( which I can highly recommend) connect 4 frustration Disney princess's game

silver28 · 09/09/2012 22:09

Grin glad to be able to help! DS loves moshis so think he'll love them. They had loads of great toys in store, def worth a look.

Now, got to keep searching for the playmobil top agents HQ for a good price.....!

GirlWithTheMouseyHair · 09/09/2012 22:14

cheekily marking my place - we're abroad so want to get as many gifts sent direct to UK as poss rather than us lugging them all back for Christmas

SizzleSazz · 09/09/2012 22:44

JUst marking my place for a revisit. Thanks for the tips all Smile

Apparently Asda will be having toy sale this week, but date not confirmed.

MooseyMoo · 10/09/2012 07:01

Oh, also saw some glow sticks, bracelets and necklaces in 99p shop yesterday. Would be good stocking filler...

Remarking my place.

Off to take all of my elc purchases back to store today, don't know what they hell has gone on but all of my boxes are crushed. They look like they have been stamped on Hmm. So now I have to take them back and get them changed. Grr, I don't know which carreir it is they use but I will be logging a complaint.

MrsPnut · 10/09/2012 08:30

Marking my place and I'll go and check out B&M today.

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 10/09/2012 09:38

The Entertainer has a sale on.

Elmo Let's Rock £69.99 reduced to £24.99 and lots of other good bits.

Wolfcub · 10/09/2012 09:39

oreocrumbs, my boxes were a bit bashed too - but the bag they came in was pristine, I think it might be stock that's been bashed in the stock room or at original delivery

YouOldSlag · 10/09/2012 09:44

Some great tips here. I don't understand why people leave all their shopping until December. Why use up all your salary in one month when it makes so much more sense to spread the cost and start earlier!
