Second Christmas bargain 2013 thread already? It's still only July!

[Reastie]

Here we go people, the second bargain Christmas thread for 2013 already . Please forgive the fact that so many sale and amazon products aren?t individually linked - so many of them are out of stock and amazon seem to change prices on an almost hourly basis (it feels like) on a number of items that were previously linked to. As usual please tell me if any of these links/codes don?t work or if there?s anything particularly you want to be in the next OP (assuming there is another ) how would I do any shopping without you now

for all your help in helping my christmas shopping in 2013 be once again bargainous

Read Amazon reviews.

Mine from last year went in the bin. Had bought it too far in advance to return it, Grrrr.

Probably already mentioned but Home Bargains is worth a look

Just bought this Mister Maker Art Set for DS1 for £4

And theres other bits too like this Disney Princess Kangaroo Hopper

Some Cars diecast cars and Barbie stuff on there too

Iloveholidays thanks - I'd not thought of that. Will start saving my Tesco vouchers immediately!

Place marking for when I've saved a bit of cash. It's dd's birthday a couple of months before Xmas and we've decided to get things when we see them this year! Wish she was old enough for that kitchen but just to small and young! Will order finger puppets though!

Anyone seen any bargains on those wooden balance bikes? DD will be 2 at Christmas, but I'd like to buy a pressie she'll grow into. Any other suggestions on bargains for a 2 year old? A lot of the suggestions seem great for older children. I'm clueless and need ideas!

Snowgirl DS will be a week off turning 2 at Christmas and we've bought him the IKEA wooden toy kitchen. It's reduced to £45 at the moment.

IKEA Kitchen

Blimey this thread moves fast, love it, have bought some of those doodle books (they are great) and ordered Dr Suess collection for dd's birthday (she will be 3)

snowgirl, the kitchen is a great idea. Also what about micro scooters, balance bikes are great, consider metal ones too, they are usually easier to height adjust and a bit lighter?

What about happyland, that is usually a hit with 2 year olds as well.
Mine like hotwheels too from that age, they are a bit annoying though! Also general cars, and big diggers, etc (the bruder ones are good). Sorry this is not giving you any bargains, but hopefully some ideas.

My bargain contribution is sportpursuit - flash sales on quality sports gear (usually running or cycling) - useful for if you have sporty dh's or relatives. It's a bit like zulily or achica for bikers/runners! www.sportpursuit.com/ Nothing jumps out on there atm but they often have had good reductions on well known brands. they take ages to arrive though (bit like zulily)

Showgirl - my dd got a kitchen for her 2 nd birthday and loves it! Al
Also got her things like play food and a tea set to go with it so she can have tea parties. She likes happyland, cars, trucks etc also wooden blocks have become a favorite and she builds 'castles' with them now. She loves jigsaw puzzles and also has started to like simple games like snap or matching up animal heads and tails (from early learning centre) and we have to play them over and over but they are good for her. She likes duplo too but only has one small set so we are going to get her more for christmas. She likes her scuttlebug at the moment. Also she got an easel which she uses a lot for painting. Arts and crafts stuff is a big win. Also books, books and more books! She loves being read to. Things like maisy mouse, kipper, peppa pig etc. hope this helps with some ideas!

snowgirl I bought DD some wooden cakes/wooden sandwich set and she loves them (she's now 2.5) and has older friends who also love them. Also 'play shop' type things like a till she loves and should play with as she gets older or a toy tea set.

Forgot to say Hello to feegle

Sorry, bit distracted - having building works done and everything is going pear shaped at the minute

The Leappad2 is now down from £61 to £48 on Amazon in both pink and green if anyone is after one.

Snowgirl1, asda have a gorgeous wooden kitchen they have done for £35.00 the last 2 years at christmas. I was in there this week and the wooden pans ect for it have just gone out so keep your eye on the website for it. I got it last year and its really lovely. Also the toy kitchen bits in Ikea are great especially the felt vegetables. Baby dolls are also good for 2 year old.

Snowgirl

Agree with Starjulesthat the Asda wooden kitchen is great for the reduced price of £35. Comes in a red or pink comtrasting colour ( I got pink and its not too pink. Its small compared with some but big enough to keep little ones busy opening the doors and "cooking". I got the wooden pots and pans, cutlery and plates set for £12 half price too at Asda (as Starjules mentioned) and some Melissa & Doug wooden vegetables and slice n' serve cookies which really made for a nicely stocked up kitchen! She loves it, so do any friends that come!!

Happyland definitely a winner in our house too - have had to stop buying it now as we have too much!

Any role play stuff is good for age 2+ and will grow with them.

Sorry if it's already been mentioned. The Entertainer have the Playmobil Surburban House for £50 saving £80 on their prices. It's £98 on Amazon

house

The character umbrellas I posted about early on (page 1 or 2) from eBay arrived - very good quality, especially for £4 including postage!

Buffy - thanks for that.

I was so sure I was going to get that for dd this Christmas, and was holding out for it going down in price (such as now). But then i saw the Grande Mansion and now I'm really torn which to buy!

Am i right in saying that neither the Mansion or the Suburban House comes with any furniture? It all has to be bought separately?

Ewe Looks like the Mansion has no furniture and the Suburban house has

2 adults
2 children
A pet dog
A barbeque with accessories
Table
Chairs

Ah, thank you I missed that. I'll have another wee think before i buy anything.

Apparently Argos are doing 3 for 2 on toys staring from tomorrow.
