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

Thank you so much for the pillow pet unicorn! was just about to buy this off amazon for almost 11 including delivery!

I've had that email too MooseyMoo.

I've reached a stalling point, I've bought lots of generic presents but I now need to know what people want, otherwise they will end up will random presents!

Having a great time doing it though!

Joj123 · 24/09/2012 18:20

Thanks for that I had a look and I got one for each of my kids

Joj123 · 24/09/2012 18:22

I bought a hands phatstak and a butterfly phatstak.

Damn Cohen bros movies back up to 23 quid Sad

gingerpinz · 24/09/2012 19:36

No Doshusallie, I thought that too but if you go onto the 'new & used offers' bit it is still there at the cheaper price...it's the first one on the list.

WineGless · 24/09/2012 19:49

Hokey-mine haven't arrived yet
About to move a load of presents from garage into loft.
Dd has seen Playmobil though and think will ave to be present from grandma

I was just looking at reviews on Amazon on the pillow pets to decide whether to get one for my 3.9 year old and there are quite a few talking about copies...

Decided to go for it, but it says its a "Pillow Pals" one on Home Bargains - does anyone know if this is a copy?? Will probably go for it anyway at that price...

Thanks

Aspiemum2 · 24/09/2012 20:21

I just ordered one so hopefully not a copy, previous stuff from home bargains was always the real deal.

Thank you to the person who posted about smyths being a possible stock issue. I would try again but I really can't be bothered after the initial faff! I've found most of the stuff on boots 3 for 2 but a lot of them say awaiting stock.

Being organised is flipping hard work at times Grin

iloveholidays · 24/09/2012 20:28

Thanks Aspiemum2 - I've never ordered from home bargains before, so wasn't sure (hadn't heard of them before this... not one near me).

Aspiemum2 · 24/09/2012 20:37

I love that shop, dd1 has done well out of there in the past with things like zhu zhu pets and lps. She's into squinkies now so I got some of them.

As with most discount chains some if it is just tat but also some great offers

iloveholidays · 24/09/2012 20:41

Oooh... what are Squinkies??

I'm planning to order the pillow pet for each of my girls, hello kitty plate & bowl, hello kitty figures and mister maker craft box. Hoping it'll all be good as real bargains!!!

Aspiemum2 · 24/09/2012 21:05

Oh lord knows! I've not even figured out the point of zoobles yet and she's outgrown them now!
No doubt she'll have gone off squinkies by Christmas too!

oreocrumbs · 24/09/2012 21:11

HMV have some good deals on. 8 dvd set of Harry Potter £20. I've bought a few little stocking filler books, Qi, a funny cats one, there are loads of others too all around the £2-£3 mark. It's all free delivery too. I'm pleased with the books, I looked at the Qi one and it was £8 odd on amazon the other day.

There are quite a few other promotions on too but I haven't had a good look around, so if you want any music etc have a rummage.

PersuedByPenguins · 24/09/2012 21:58

Marvel 4 disk Animated box set £8.47 Amazon right up my geeky DHs street Wink

Thelittlestranger · 24/09/2012 22:01

Aspiemum2- am feeling your Squinkies pain.

BeaWheesht · 24/09/2012 22:13

Are squinkies a girl thing? Ds is getting into Moshi monsters - they're so expensive!!!

MistressIggi · 24/09/2012 22:25

Thanks for the info on Smyths 20% off. Got a few things for DS (he's written his Santa list already!) Now I just need to find some money off a bloody Batcave...

3duracellbunnies · 24/09/2012 22:33

Have lots of boxes I need to unpack when dh can't moan about money and the children can't see them. Off to look at amazon toys.

WineGless · 24/09/2012 22:40

Little rubber characters which have a house, car etc etc

WineGless · 24/09/2012 22:41

Beawheest- there are loads of sets of series 1 for £15 for about 20 Moshi. Check out tesco and Asda, plus. They had them in our local b and m
