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

Good! It's a little gem that site. They had a baby anabelle for £20 odd quid in the summer on there. Of course I only saw it after I paid full whack and gave it to my dd!

I need to buy more bargains, but no one is getting back to me with lists yet! Argh Grin.

Just brought this Fur Real Bear for dd on Amazon even cheaper!

IHeartKingThistle · 26/09/2012 23:19

Ha! Argos site is down - I think we might be responsible!

theancientmarinator · 26/09/2012 23:21

I just read the small print on the free Argos voucher if you spend £50/100 and it has to be redeemed by the end of October.

Somermummy1 · 26/09/2012 23:35

Thanks oreocrumbs

I've just reserved an Olympics mandeville for £2.99. Yes I know the Olympics are over but my 4YO DS wants a friend for Wenlock!

Just ordered half price dolls house from Toys R Us - very pleased

oreocrumbs · 27/09/2012 09:51

Poundland voucher. Has to be used by 30th Sept. It is £2 off a £12 spend.

Also in todays Sun newspaper there is a £3 of a £13 spend voucher. Got these from HDUK website.

oreocrumbs · 27/09/2012 09:53

Amazon Imaginext Batcave £39.45

oreocrumbs · 27/09/2012 09:55

The poundland voucher is in tomorrow - fridays Sun not today.

whoneedstosleep · 27/09/2012 10:25

That is so frustrating about the batcave! Amazon prices change so frequently!

oreocrumbs · 27/09/2012 10:32

Way back at the beginning of this thread someone said they have an amazon wishlist on the go, and she puts on anything she wants to buy and watches it everyday. The prices change daily - usually just by pennies, but they will drop sharply if they price match someone. I think this drop in the batcave is because Smyths had it for £40 this week and Argos have the 3 for 2 on.

So if you watch your items every day to tend to see when they hit the best price.

BlameItOnTheCuervo · 27/09/2012 10:46

existing hotdiamonds customers can get an extra £10 worth of points by changing their password. I had £5 worth already, changed my password so had £15 worth. used code HDUK10 to get 10% off and got this for £5.25 delivered. Im going to buy a cheap silver chain from argos or somewhere for a fiver.

BlameItOnTheCuervo · 27/09/2012 10:46

new customers get £5 worth of points initially.

BlameItOnTheCuervo · 27/09/2012 10:47

this is the sale section.

OodHousekeeping · 27/09/2012 11:32

Not online but the factory shop has playdoh hairdressers for £5. Am v excited cos dh was going on about loving them and they were too expensive online for a joke present ( though dds will play with it too)

oreocrumbs · 27/09/2012 11:49

You can get Amazon prime for a free 3 month trial, along with other benefits if you have young children by joining the UK's version of Amazon Mom.

The baby stuff isn't any good to me but the free amazon prime is! Just remember to opt out after the 3 months. More details here.

I will investigate it later properley - am off to raid the hedgrows and make the most of the break from the rain!

Dosey · 27/09/2012 11:52

Ood where is the factory shop you speak off. Mine would love the playdoh hairdresser

OodHousekeeping · 27/09/2012 12:15

It's called 'the factory shop'. online version

Badvoc · 27/09/2012 12:31

Have been an amazon prime customer for years now...it saves me £££££££

Badvoc · 27/09/2012 12:34

Who was it that wanted a kiddizoom video camera?
It's £25 on the site ood linked to!

MistressIggi · 27/09/2012 13:05

Have ordered my batcave so hoping not to hear of any more reductions! Now turning my attention to other child, and a jumparoo..
Actually children easier to buy for as they tell you what they want in the form of the Santa list. My dm and dmil on the other hand...
(Is it wrong to buy a playdough hairdresser for myself?)

whoneedstosleep · 27/09/2012 13:10

badvoc I'm looking for a kiddie zoom camera, not the video camera unfortunately.

Badvoc · 27/09/2012 13:16

Ah.
Will keep a look out for you...

silver28 · 27/09/2012 13:25

They have the vetch kiddizoom camera for £26 plus £4.62 delivery on amazon, but its the 3d version (rrp £99 it says, tho that's not always reliable).

Titsalinabumsquash · 27/09/2012 13:48

If anyone knows of a place to start getting cheaper Christmas lights/decs/trees I'd be grateful, with ds3 due in 6 week time I'm trying to sort it now.

I also need a child's toy pram if anyone sees any on offer. Smile
