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

Plain lazy kids lucky dips have sold out! Power of mumsnet But they have got 25% off. Code: Ms25soldout

also noticed that the dresses I bought from punkyfish have also vanished off the website. I'm slightly worried about my order, I paid via paypal, but I've had no email confirmation. (apart from the paypal confirmation)

Does anyone have the link for the scarves please?

Also I'm looking for a children's novelty shower gel/product, usually I get my boys a lush bath bomb for the christmas eve hamper but we have no bath this year, I can't find anything "fun" for them that they can use.

Titsalina someone mentioned the new lush fun bar earlier, it's £5 a bar and you can play with it like plasticine, use it as shampoo, body wash, bubble bath or even wash clothes with it.

It comes in several bright colours - would that be any good for your boys?

yes m&s outlet is bargaintastic
I love this thread

I saw that in Lush, I didn't know what it actually was, is its playable I'll certainly give it a go, I was worried it was a regular bar of hard soap.

thanks all, have just done stocking fillers for DH and wheres wally annual and lego annual for the kids.
molton brown stuff arrived today, not heard a thing from boden.... Hmmm

Just bought a loverley new coat for me! I'm doing very well this christmas!!

Resolved not to spend any money today. Just paid car insurance, and am out of pocket to the tune of almost £200 from cheeky thieving sods causing damage Grr. Any way I have a pretty new coat winging its way to me! And I got 3 boxes from MB today so that was nice.

Does anyone have any codes for Monsoon? There's a dress I like for DD but its £££. Here's hoping!

Not online but I was in Wilkos today and they had some good stocking filler type toys including a clock with moving hands which sticks to the side of the bath. DD has learnt her letters from her in the bath ones, maybe she can learn to tell the time the same way!

Orla Kiely scarves.

shop.uniqlo.com/uk/goods/075059

Did that work?

My DD has some bath paint (like a soap sick-but paints blue) from tescos that was less than £3. Also some squirty bath mousse from same place.

• stick! Errrr. Bath sick.

Can I just say that the Orla Kiely scarves are even nicer in real life! I bought two for gifts. Definately keeping one now....

without sounding too cheeky, was there a uniglo code or were we overwhelmed by the £9.90 price for the orla scarves?

H&M discount codes as listed elsewhere and selflessly checked out by me:

£5 off £6 spend: 1304
15% off (but seemed to give some items 20% off): 0186

Doesn't work on sale items but there were some nice bargains to be had anyway.

I sorted out the present cupboard this afternoon and am almost done for the DCs! I don't know whether to be freaked out by the amount of online shopping I am doing or pleased it's almost done.

.

Argghh! stop making me look at bargin clothes! :)

On a positive note though ive practically got all presents for the DD's and my nieces and nephews :) And my Nephews Birthday present for new year :)

Just the adults left now... Sadly I find them the hardest.

I ordered 5 bags from Punkyfish and when I tried to get a couple more they had sold out, so I was worried they wouldn't come too. They haven't arrived but I had an email saying they have been despatched, so should be fine. I think they only had a few of some things but the site seemed good at updating regularly.
Fingers crossed.
:)

Neverknowingly it was just the scarves I'm afraid!

I've had a look back but can't find the link for the discounted Lego site, anyone able to help?

ChristmasKate
brickbadger.com/ lists Lego discounts from various retailers, has latest reductions plus a list of the top 50 bargains. I've been using it to keep an eye on the sets I'm after, it's updated quite regularly.

Thank you Maranello

Ooh- brickbadger is good... but is there a simiar site available for Playmobil??

Argh, I'm afraid to check my bank this morning! I have done a lot of shopping though but I must stop until I get paid again. so please stop posting amazing bargains!

unless any amazing food magazine subscriptions come up for my sister or deals on gift cards

Time to mark my place on this now
