From Robotgate to Vertbaudetgate, it’s the Christmas bargain thread

[Reastie]

girlwiththeyellowhats do we have any news yet?

Fifth thread already, how did that happen?! I?ve booked our panto tickets now so am feeling very festive . Tips I learnt from the last thread number 24837 - wrap a huge cardboard box in christmas gift wrap to put all the rubbish on christmas day in rather than a bin bag so you don?t get a black plastic sack in all of the photos

Please forgive the fact that so many sale and amazon products aren?t individually linked or are linked but price may since change by the time you click on it - 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

Thanks iloveholidays, i just ordered my dd uses these great for a little stocking filler

Mama, do they smell nice? Which ones would you recommend?

I want to order a couple of things from dare I say vertbaudet, does anyone know what the sizing is like & of any codes please

Only my second post (you lot are prolific - thank you!), but I know someone was looking for good deals on decent tablets.....
We went to John Lewis yesterday knowing what specification we wanted, having done our research. John Lewis have an excellent 28 day money back guarantee and as a result they have returned electronic goods that cannot be re-sold as brand new stock. Instead, they are returned to manufacturer to be checked. If they are in perfect working order they get a factory reset and get sent back to store. These are then offered at much reduced prices but they are not put out on the shop floor - you have to ask. We did and they bought out 2 of our exact specification. The one we went for, full price link here , had a scratch on the reverse of the tablet which is well hidden by the case and does not affect the working of the machine. We got ours for £165 and they are retailing everywhere for £230 at present, so £65 off! They had another one of the same specification too, without a charger lead for £155, so it's obviously something they have a lot of floating around. Worth a try perhaps.

They do the lychee one is my favourite.

I find the Verbaudet sizing comes up quite big in general 2 tops I bought for my ds 5 in size 5-6 are big on him.

some good ideas here

For Vertbaudet, use code 5359 for £15 off a £20 spend and includes free delivery. Items will need to be from the autumn/winter collection and not happy/green price items.

Wow, I go away for the weekend and you fill up 6 pages! Thanks for the wellies link, the telegraph seeds and the debenams link

Another Vertbaudet code - 0628 gets 25% off AW13, £15 off a £20 spend and a free gift of either music instruments or colouring set.

To use this code, you need to go to www.vertbaudet.co.uk/specialprices

Thnakyou you for the tesco Zelfs, £6 is cheap :)

for the Verbaudet and H & M codes! Dressing gowns for my boys and stocking fillers ordered

Ooh thank you sillysocks, will try that later

Anyone around who purchased the Nativity advent book with the 24 little tree hanging books, from amazon, is it lovely and worth it??

Just bought that Mooseymoo, thank you!

thanks slainte :)

thanks for the vertbaudet code

Kiwi I ordered the nativity advent book and it is lovely. I ordered from Canada so was slightly cheaper but the book is very slight bent in places, but totally but had creases in the cover. It was just sent in a Jiffy bag so probably not enough protection.

I want to buy a little fake tree for DDs to hang the books on.

I forget who asked about Vertbaudet sizing but I find it comes up super small, oposite of a previous comment but in my experience of a big for age child I had to go 2 or 3 sizes up and a petite to average child usually 1 size up. HTH
