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

Tits the factory shop site linked below has lots of toy prams - not sure how much of a deal they are but worth checking.
Gutted the playdoh is only available instore!

Whoever was asking about pillow pals, my order just arrived from home bargains and certainly looks genuine - price tag does say £14.99 although I paid £4.99 for it

Not sure if it's been said already, but The Disney shop has a good sale on. I've been in today and they have the princess dolls reduced, plus muppet cuddly toys, melamine dinnerware, minnie mouse bags, mugs and clothing too.

I only went in for a mug. I came out with 2 hoodys, and 2 mugs lol.
It's online too afaik Grin

another one whos pillow pet arrived today, genuine pillow pet label and tag says 14.99 so think its the real deal. sooooo soft i almost want to keep it!

It's not online and I can't see it on the website, but my local John Lewis had a ride in dalek half price today. Around £45 down from £90. DH desperately wanted it but it's only suitable for 3-6 year olds Grin

BlameItOnTheCuervo · 27/09/2012 21:04

one tip is to use a cashback co like topcashback I use it for everything and have got about £600 back this year.

DharmaBumpkin · 27/09/2012 21:07

Tits it's not the cheapest but DZD has really good stuff - they are a trade dealer, have ordered off them before and been really happy. Great giant sized ornaments :)

Can't link sorry as on phone

SlinkyPebbles · 27/09/2012 21:15

Thanks I got a muppets DVD (which will probably get used before Xmas)

I may have also bought a set of dr who figures at full price first because I didn't know how to enter codes on the iPhone app

oreocrumbs · 27/09/2012 23:15

Drat and buggery. DSD has at long last bestowed her christmas list. Just after 10 pm when the ebay code expired! Blardy kids.

It isn't very long, and appears I am going to have to source 50% from abroad Confused.

rhondajean · 27/09/2012 23:20

Least it isn't very long - my dd2 has just written out the Argos book for me!

She is 8 and still firmly believes in Santa and his bottomless pockets.

oreocrumbs · 27/09/2012 23:28

True, DD (only 2) will make up for it though, she appears to be turning out like her mother, with a need to own everything she sees. So by the time she is making lists I will be fondly remeniscing about DSD and her short ones!

bellabelly · 27/09/2012 23:46

Haven't read whole thread so sorry if this has already been mentioned but amazon are doing 2 disney dvds for £13.99 (on selected dvds) here which seemed quite good to me - have just ordered a couple. Might be time-limited though, maybe just this week.

Thought I was being dead organised but now see some of you started way back in the summer!

hophophippidtyhop · 28/09/2012 07:21

The disney store has the princess glitter dolls/ and some fairies at 2 for £20 at present. On amazon the princesses are £30 each!

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 28/09/2012 11:09
