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

fuzzpig I wish I was that organised!

Thanks for niece pressie ideas. Went to TK Maxx today and got her a glitter nail varnish set - just off to email her DM to check she's allowed it (know they can be strict on some things and don't want to step on anyones toes). Love the amazon link primrose and am seriously tempted to buy that too for her (although really now I've got her the nail varnish only need something for a couple of pounds so might save that for her bday next year) - how old is your DD? Thought I might see if I can find a cheap tshirt for £2 or £3 from a supermarket to give her as well as the varnish, but not sure if that price range is overly optimistic. She's v hard to get for as the whole family tend to throw everything away all the time, so I find myself trying so hard to think of things they genuinely want or like so it doesn't go in the bin - I have asked in the past what they'd like but never got very useful responses.

TK Maxx had some nice nail varnish/make up bits in nice brands (nails inc, stilla etc) if anyone needs any ideas for people who like that kind of thing.

It's not so much being organised as being a bit obsessive :o

On Woolworths online there was 20% off all toys the last time I looked.

Also baby annabell is 39.99 rather than 49.99 in argos just now.

Have totally stolen the Amazon wish list idea! Have spent the last half hour making a list .

Fantastic :) glad my geekiness has helped somebody! It's really weird how sometimes things go ridiculously cheap for a brief time. Eg a DVD box set I was vaguely interested in, normally £40, went down to £19 for a while. I'd love to know how they set their prices

My wish lists are:
Randomous Random, which is stuff like household, shoes and the kind of things I don't buy much of,
Entertainment (CDs and DVDs)
Games (board and console)
Toys
Books

In the past I have divided them by person or just had one for 'presents'

Before I order though I still check eBay.

The book people has those big Usborne hardback see inside books for £3.99

The octopod was down to £30 and they have some of the more difficult characters to find inc Peso, Tweak, Shellington and Dashi (although I thought some of these were a little pricey).
