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

Thanks for the jojo discount code dd2 has been requesting the maxi micro scooter in purple since march! Just ordered it ready for December :0)

iloveblue · 30/09/2012 18:11

20% off sale items at Fred Aldous with code SALE20 - till midnight tonight.
Lots of art and craft type stocking fillers here

PersuedByPenguins · 30/09/2012 22:02

Thanks for the Mothercare code Iloveblue just sorted Niece and nephew out -£34 worth for £21! (20% off toys on £15 spend includes sale items if anyone missed it, using code RNLH)

I am also double chuffed as I have just saved £90 with Argos 3 for 2.... seems a bit too good to be true though please tell me electonic toys are included?!(innotab2)

Moshi monsters advent calendar. £20.84. Apparently this has just been released, and sells in most places around the £30 mark.

Thought it might be of interest to some of you thankfully DD is still too young for such things Grin.

Shock good grief I thought playmobil ones were pricey! Thank goodness my DD isn't into them yet (although she recognises it as a brand thanks to classmates)

WineGless · 30/09/2012 22:32

Oh god DS is completely Mm obsessed am going to have to hide this from him

BeaWheesht · 30/09/2012 22:35

Thanks oreocrumbs that's more accurately from ds on dec first than me because I hate moshis!

oreocrumbs · 30/09/2012 22:37

Haha I can share it in the smug knowlege my girls are too old and too young for such tat treasure, but appreciate that for the right age group this is the bees knees Grin.

wildpoppy · 30/09/2012 22:38

Just found this thread. Marking place.

WineGless · 30/09/2012 22:47

Oreo, your time will come Grin

Aspiemum2 · 30/09/2012 22:54

Dd1 wants this but not that happy to get it.

When I was younger our advent calendar just had pictures (was reused every year too!). Can't get my head around not being delighted with a £1 chocolate one!

WineGless · 30/09/2012 23:04

I am standing firm and not getting one famous last words
We have a wooden advent calendar which I fill with wondrous activities or maybe chocolate, depending.

Murtette · 30/09/2012 23:15

I'm so glad I found this thread. Just saved 20% on DD's birthday present (a micro scooter). Could argue that I saved more as, due to the discount, I decided to get the more expensive neon one which DS will then be able to use so I've saved the cost of getting him one :-)

Eddas · 30/09/2012 23:20

oh no, the Moshie advent calender, ds would LOVE it but it's so expensive....and then there's dd to consider....

must.not.order.

WineGless · 30/09/2012 23:23

Eddas, come and stand strong with me.
We will resist the Moshis..

Eddas · 30/09/2012 23:26

Grin WineGless I too have a lovely wooden calender that I should fill, maybe we can buy a pack or 2 of moshi's to put in a few drawers to make us feel less guilty that they will be somehow missing out!!

WineGless · 30/09/2012 23:35

Ok, am with you on that idea. You can get the little packs for two pounds- will agree that!,

3duracellbunnies · 30/09/2012 23:43

I'm resisting the urge to deviate from our wooden calender (ours even have to share it so only open 1/3 days, good planning having 24 days as it divides by 2, 3 and 4!) I might put some lego mini figures in, with a different body part each day, not sure if that would encourage serial killer tendancies though!!!

Eddas · 30/09/2012 23:55

pmsl at your worries of raising serial killers 3db Grin

MistressIggi · 01/10/2012 09:29

Bugger, thought I could get jumperoo with that mothercare code - obviously not viewed as a "toy" On amazon it has gone up by over £20 since first started looking!

MistressIggi · 01/10/2012 09:33

Oh, I tell a lie, back down to 85 on amazon now.

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 01/10/2012 09:34

Fab Effex arrived from The Works today, bargain!

Thanks insanity

crazygracieuk · 01/10/2012 12:05

Not really an online bargain but free Lego with The Sun starts this weekend.

whoneedstosleep · 01/10/2012 12:43

Iron man quinjet £27 from amazon. £32.99 everywhere else.

Anyone seen deals on photo calendars yet?
