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

£10.95 for postage Shock Shock Shock I only got charged £3.95 for my clock. Maybe it depends what you buy

blue there's a post here from zulilly saying their postage costs are only £3.95 so might be worth emailing/ringing them re: your order as it may just be an error

Thanks for that halfthesize am now 50 quid lighter as got the house and lighthouse, but that will do for the girls birthdays or christmas, just need to subliminally sneak it into their subconscious that they want it!

DoubleMum · 16/09/2012 16:03

LOL, you'd be right at home in my house! I succeeded doing just that yesterday, although it is only September so can't count my chickens yet.

mignonette · 16/09/2012 16:05

That's really cool :o

There's quite a lot reduced in WHSmith at the mo, I got DSS some Mini bookmarks, 6 little magnetic ones (he is 20 and has an obsession with mini coopers) which will be useful for his uni books, £2.39. They are £4 on amazon.

Still lots going cheap in Disney store too - got DS a mickey mouse lunchbox for nursery at £5 :)

reastie · 17/09/2012 07:31

There's an inflatable globe on amazon down to £1.50 including postage - might be a good stocking filler Grin

Marking spot for now, fab thread, will do a little shopping whilst recovering from a 24 hour bug.

Trazzletoes · 17/09/2012 11:31

Right, I'm marking my place too, having just raided East! Thanks for the suggestions!

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 17/09/2012 12:17

Reviews are mixed on that reastie aren't they, still for £1.50 will make a great stocking filler for dd1, thanks.
