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

I have just bought a large Lego starter kit for £20 off Amazon, should have been £35, I was quite pleased with that Smile

yellowdandelion · 30/08/2012 22:05

Grrrr, I bought the lego for £25 yesterday thinking that was a good deal! Nevermind...

tara0202 · 30/08/2012 22:25

Good thread. Leap pads are reduced to £39 in Tesco at the moment. I got one today. Lady told me its the one brought out for last xmas. It's reduced as a new one is coming out next month. Doesn't bother me having last years.

I don't think the reduction is online though but I could be wrong.

Yellow if you bought it from amazon you should be able to cancel the oreder - I doubt it has been dispatched yet. Or if it has and you can stand both payments for a week, then return the first lot. Amazon are really good with returns and refunds.

The book people have a set of 10 Julia Donaldson (The Gruffalo) books for £10. They are about £4 each on Amazon so quite a bargain. I've bought some and will split the pack between the little people.

I used the free delivery code that Levantine posted up thread too, so feeling quite happy with that find.

They have a few good sets on, it is worth a rummage. Have the Rohl Dahl collection for £15, and the full Mr men collection for £30.

Amazon just but a leap pad Leapster old style for half price virtually and got a free gel skin and free delivery.

hotbot · 31/08/2012 07:49

Sorry bought , 44.99 also got those rockets from earlier in the thread , thanks for that

FreddoBaggyMac · 31/08/2012 09:19

LOVE this thread! (just marking my place!)

doublecakeplease · 31/08/2012 10:22

Oooh - just had a Verbaudet catalogue delivered - code on the back : 2900 = £15 off £20 spend + free gift (wooden animal abacus) + free P&p - not tried it but worth a shot? Think its first time customers though!

BeaWheesht · 31/08/2012 12:10

Nintendo 3ds is almost half price at the hut with code BUYPICK10

BeaWheesht · 31/08/2012 12:13

I couldn't find this thread yesterday so I started a new one but I'll also post here:

I saw this on UK hot deals and thought someone here might also like a look. If you look on the right hand side under "more buying choices" its only £15!

lizmarshmallow · 01/09/2012 07:03

Awwww link fail! Can anyone correct it? I'm on my phone.

Not sure if I should get one of these for DD, she'll be nearly 8mo at Christmas.

SayHelloToMyLittleFriend · 01/09/2012 07:33

Is it the vtech piano thing liz? Sorry, don't know how to fix your link but I saw this on houtuk too, looks great esp for the price. My 11 month old has a few things like this that she loves so would think your 8 month old would like it too.

My Mr Potato Head came yesterday, he looks even better in real life :)

oreocrumbs · 01/09/2012 07:49

liz's link Thats a good price. I wonder why Amazon have the higher price as the default, and their lower free delivery price tucked away in other options?

I think it would be fine for an 8 month old, DD is 2 and still plays with her leap pad music table which is similar.

wanttomakeadifference · 01/09/2012 08:17

Shamelessly marking my placeBlush. Will be back to add any bargains that I find.

DesperatelySeekingPomBears · 01/09/2012 19:49

I know it's not online but Home Bargains have character PJs for little boys (12 months plus) for £3.99. Got DS some Thomas ones that were £14 in Boots.

Eddas · 01/09/2012 21:25

doublecakeplease thank you for the vertbaudet tip, going to sign up and buy a few bits from there Smile Thanks

OhTheConfusion · 01/09/2012 22:10

Huge thank you to the poster who told us about the lego city space set almost half price in Argos... I got our local stores last one!!!

JoJoH1 · 02/09/2012 17:26

Hello, In Sainsburys today they were selling the children's summer wheelbarrow set with mini watering can spades etc for £1.00.

reastie · 02/09/2012 18:24
