The second bargainous Christmas online gifts thread

[reastie]

The last one is reaching thread capacity so am starting off round 2 on sharing great bargains you have all found. Last thread has been fabulous so please keep the ideas coming.

Thanks btw to whoever linked to the Dr Seuss/hunger games/free angelina books - they arrived today and are fabulous

I've taken the plunge with the plain lazy lucky bag, DS1 needs clothes anyway and the free delivery worked and I got 7% cash back from Quidco
I just hope if the stuff is decent they still have them so I can grab one for DS2!

Also I got a vistaprint calendar for my nan with pictures of all her great grandchildren for free - although delivery is £3.50 and it can take up to 21 days or you can pay more for a quicker turn around, it's also £5 cash back through Quidco.

rhonda my boden order just says 'order placed' still but nothing dispatched, I'm not sure whether to be hopeful or not

Thanks for the link to that asda toy sale. We already have a toy kitchen for DD for christmas but now I'm debating whether to buy the shop for her for gps to buy for her (we don't really have room but I know she'd love it). Does anyone have the shop? Is it decent quality? If it's a bit flimsy I may just leave it and get her a sturdier one for next christmas.

reastie i just looked at the toy shop too - ones i have seen so far have been £100+ so it does seem a bargain. we have the kitchen in the link and it has been fine, still goingt strong. again quite cheap compared to others but we werent sure how much use it would get and didnt want to waste money.

Asos sale Use code MEGA10 for a further 10% off sale items.

My boden order was still going through but they had removed the codes, I have just asked them to cancel it. They didn't send any notification that the codes had been removed though As if I'd pay £50 for a child's coat!

I've just taken this from another site so not sure if it works but apparently the 2 for £10 toys are coming up for £8 on elc, and the 2 for £15 are now £12.

They said the money comes off when you add to basket. Off to work so don't have time to try but thought I would share it .

The tip about the Amazon wishlist that was posted way back on thread one has paid off for me. The dolls house for DD dipped down yesterday so that is now ordered.

Off to earn some money rather than spend it

I just ordered the wooden elc rescue centre! Brill. Here's a little stocking filler, a decent watch for £4.25 inc P&p

Good to know the kitchen is good.

I couldn't use SAVANNAH on sale items at ecl.

I've still heard nothing from Next about that supposed voucher.

MistressIgi & others buying from boots. If you're an advantage card members you should've/should very soon be sent your invite for the 'advantage card christmas event', £12 worth of point when you spend £50 in store.

piggley - I can't see a picture!

Not a bargain, but Brave is being released on bluray/dvd next month 26th Nov).
Looking through Amazon they have really well priced blu-ray boxsets for the man/teen/hard to buy for (Bourne, Back to the Future, Matrix, Resident Evil, Alien boxsets for £10-ish)...and Princess Bride on bluray for £5.97!

I've just seen on another thread that if there is elc stuff on the mothercare website that you can get 20% off when you spend £15 with code RNLH inc sale items.

I've not tried it and not sure if there is P&P.

Am looking for a toy TILL - online and cheap- any ideas? am a serious lurker of this page

Argos do a good toy till, think its part of their 2 for £15 range? We bought DD one with a shopping trolley and toy fruit as well all for £15. This was a couple of years ago though..

just checked and still there, £9.99 each or 2 for £15 :-)

thank you- off to google

oreo yes, the ELC 2 for £15 is £12 when you pay at checkout. It's done automatically. I bought Happyland Xmas set and alphabet adder yesterday

Just ordered the ELC rescue station for DS via mothercare if you use code RNLH you get a futher 20% off but be quick i suspect they'll clock on to it!
