Disney princess castle £34.20 at Debenhams with code NF64. Not sure if that code gives free del included, but if not then usw SHD1 for free del.

Next cheapest place to buy this is Smyths at £45.

zipzap · 18/10/2012 09:32

Hadn't spotted that about sainsburys - thanks.

And thank god that it's a bit shifted from it's normal half term slot - really tricky trying to buy stuff, especially from Santa, with the dc in tow!

CuriosityColaKilledTheCat · 18/10/2012 09:35

libbyssister Christmas hexbugs are priced at £6.99 on the site, but register as £5.82 in the cart. Do you think they have got their pricing wrong? Both are very cheap.

oreocrumbs · 18/10/2012 09:37

SH92 is a free delivery code for debenhams, not sure if SHD1 has been replaced with this, not ordering anything to check...yet!

BlameItOnTheCuervForHumanBlood · 18/10/2012 09:49

oooh, small tip, I have installed the boots treat street and topcashback toolbars, so every time I shop somewhere I can get cashback or collect points, it reminds me to go through them. very handy and has already got me £2 worth of advantage points.

ShoopShoop · 18/10/2012 09:49

Thanks for linking milk.

Glad you got some too curiosity - I know they're so annoying. DD already has a couple and I often go to bed with the songs in my head Hmm

AudrinaAdare · 18/10/2012 09:49

They add VAT to make it up to £6.99 on the hexbugs. I was a bit disappointed - thought I was getting even more of a bargain Sad

oreocrumbs · 18/10/2012 09:53

SHH7 is another code being touted as the free del code for debenhams.

I've got the Toot Toots for DD's stocking and as a little gift for her mate. I only wanted to spend £5 on a little something for her friend as I don't want to set a precedent of expensive gift giving but I do feel I have done extremely well for my £5!

Edofthe13prams · 18/10/2012 10:05

Thanks for the Amazon link. Ds will love the little cars.

just in case anyone has an older DC who is into Lego - Amazon seem to have some good deals on Monster fighters, the vampyre castle is down from about 80 to 59.99.

Ds1 is desperate for one of these so have ordered now before it goes up again!

ShoopShoop · 18/10/2012 10:18

Thanks for the Hexbug link - ordered one for my friend's DS. I'm sure he'll love it! Thanks

ContinentalKat · 18/10/2012 10:21

I will not look at any more posts on this thread as I have already ordered far too much for myself , but I wanted to let you lot know that AUTUMN12 gives you 20% off at www.easyart.com until October 23rd.
Have just ordered dh a lovely National Gallery canvas print for his birthday!

FreddieMercuryforQueen · 18/10/2012 10:23

Oooh I can finally add one. Gap sweatshirts today only 20% off at the checkout using the code GAPCOSY. my molton brown stuff arrived yesterday and apart from one. Box looking like it had been rifled through it's fab.

QuietNinjaTardis · 18/10/2012 10:24

Argos and smyths toys have the jake and neverland pirate ship for £39.99 normally £45-£50. Also. I think Argos have the pack of 3 figures for £7.99 each which is the cheapest I've seen it.

Edofthe13prams · 18/10/2012 10:35

Thankyou...good code!

Edofthe13prams · 18/10/2012 10:36

That was to Kat!

OBface · 18/10/2012 10:43

Pomtastic the Naked Wine code is amazing! Thanks.

Case on it's way Grin

Approximately · 18/10/2012 10:53

MoosyMoo, the 2 Gap codes just worked for me! Thank you very much you have just saved me a small fortune. Thanks

Pastabee · 18/10/2012 11:03

continentalkat thank you for that. Had a browse and ended up getting the Rachel Whiteread official London 2012 poster for my Dad.

He is a nightmare to buy for but was a Games Maker over the summer and had the time of his life so this will be a lovely memento for his study once I've framed it.

flatmouse · 18/10/2012 11:06

Have lurked on these and got some great ideas/discounts (notably thanks to whomever posted the 20% of at the Works!). Here's my contribution - DD desperate for a Fliker scooter - found today for £45 at Smyths-ebay On Smyths main site it's £50. (Other colour options are more expensive, but she can like green and white!)

Piemistress · 18/10/2012 11:12

Big thank you to posters for naked wines, the spicery, toot toot engines, Argos Thomas pjs and dresssing gown and molten brown codes!

MonsterBookOfTysons · 18/10/2012 11:35

Just reserved the Peppa pig pj's and dressing gown thanks :)
Probably also been said but there is a cars 2 pj's, dressing gown and slippers on Argos for £9.99 too :)

ContinentalKat · 18/10/2012 12:50

Pastabee, that sounds like the perfect present, glad I could help after bagging all these bargains for me!

Maybe my SIL would like some art after I have already kept her Molton Brown stuff and Orla Kiely scarf for myself ?

crikeybadger · 18/10/2012 13:01

Thanks for suggestions for Paperjamz drums from The Entertainer and the Melissa and Doug bead set from Amazon.

I never start my Christmas shopping this early so am very pleased with myself. Smile. Just need to remember where I've hidden it all!
