Any good online bargains out there to start stocking up on gifts?

[reastie]

I am well into my christmas shopping now . 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 but I just checked and it's finished .

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

Great price on 10 Julia Donaldson books, put my order in, had a few titles already, so will be giving them to other kids!
£9.99 for 10 books! www.thebookpeople.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/qs_product_tbp?storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=100&productId=202168

The book people also have roald dahl collection for £15

here 15 books for £15.99

I have the Julia Donaldson collection already via book people - it's great to break up for multiple gifts.

Went to tescos this morning in search of free olympic cuddly toy see this link for info but none left. Did buy this peppa pig phonic thingy for £16 there which is the best price I've found for it (and I've been looking some time)

and 10 horrible science books for £9.99

Not online sorry but just been into Home Bargains and they have Pirates of the Carribean figures for 99p. Great stocking fillers.
They also had some PoC playsets for £2.99.
Can't find them on the website but did find Knex Corkscrew Coaster for £12.99 with free collection from store.

redhouse has the same books but you can collect points and get free delivery over £15

I love home bargains.

swarzovski earrings £4.99 from £89.99

Just getting back on the thread.

Thanks BlameIt just snaffled a pair of those earrings. I make Christmas crackers for all DH's family at Christmas so they will make a nice present for one of his sisters. Tiny enough to fit inside which is great. Just need the willpower to give them away rather than keep them for myself.....

I'm planning on getting two pairs. One for my mum, one for me :o

Can somebody explain how that site works? Bit confused

I signed up and put my PayPal details in, so now what happens? Do I wait until the voucher ends and then put in the code they email me or something?

Got some earrings..thanks

That earring thing looks a bit good to be true though - are they actually worth £90? I'm also clueless as to how the site works and got scared off by the thought of a voucher and how I use it

fuzzpig, thats it. I got ds a watch a while back off groupon.

reastie, i think it works off RRP rather than what it would actually sell for, IYKWIM

Does anyone know if I buy 2 if I have to pay delivery for for both earrings or if they can go in the same order for one delivery charge? Am very tempted!

Thanks Blame, does groupon work in the same way then? (never looked at that site either!)

yes, all those sites work in the same way, groupon is good for spa days/paintballing etc.

I presume it would be one lot of delivery, not sure though.

Have just purchased the earrings as a Christmas present for my stepmum, hopefully she will think i have spent uite a bit and not 4.99

It's not a discount I'm afraid but if anyone has somebody geeky to buy for, the Bletchley Park website are now taking preorders (£30) for a new limited edition Alan Turing Monopoly! Just ordered one for myself and DH :o

Thanks again Blame I will definitely have a look :)

Oooooh bletchley park!
Want to take ds2 who is 9 and obsessed with ww2.
Any ideas for cheap ww2 gift ideas? :)
My sis gave me a playmobil pirate ship for dc as hers dont play with it and it's only got 2 bits missing which I have ordered fromm the playmobil spares website :) £50 to buy in the shops!
Result!

Not online sorry but my local sainsburys had a lot of toys at 70 percent off, littlest pet shop small sets for under two pounds, wooden baby toys etc.

Bloody hell I just spent £52 on The Entertainer site everything was reduced and at the full price would have cost around £120

The Christmas shopping has truely begun!

Well done Jaqueline glad someone had a look, i love that site and if you ebay they take payment by Paypal!
