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

I got some Xmas shaped cookie cutters in Ikea last year

Just wanted to join in and say thanks for all the bargains. I've been lurking for ages and thought it was about time I posted to say thank you.

Also wanted to say Amazon have a paperback version of The Night Before Christmas down to £2.05 which is the lowest it's been I think. RRP is £6.99 and it's free delivery.

Link is here

That's the first time I've done a link so hope it works!

Oooh - mugs have arrived here :). I'm really pleased with them. They're not totally perfect - some small flecks on the transfers but it doesn't detract from them at all. They're really quirky - I hope everyone else is pleased with theirs. to whoever provided the original link.

Oh and I'm really sorry the letter A is now out of stock.....all 3 of my BIL's names begin with A

Good grief I look away and there's over 100 messages!

Thanks whoever recommended the Morph set - came today and is great.

Ilikeaweetpeas the pop up version is not the full text of the paperback but a long story nonetheless, more than just picture book length.

Ooh glad you like the morph set, that was my first recommendation and I was all worried haha!

Bought the night before christmas book patches thanks it looks lovely.

Thanks pickofthepops- it looks lovely so think I will order!

NBACK gives 10% off at Book People, couldnt get the Birthday 25% code to work .;(

For those asking earlier about Xmas PJs/jumpers, JoJo Maman and Boots already have theirs online. I think Primark get theirs in around October and I'm going to get mine from there this year, well certainly DS' jumper as it will only be worn a couple of times. DD's Xmas PJs only went in the charity bag the other day as they have been her favourite pair this year.

And Boots seem to have a new "up to 50% off toys" sale. Its mainly pre-school stuff but includes some bubble bath things, watches etc. I'm going to get DD the Gruffalo electric toothbrush & expanding flannel for either her stocking or the hamper.

Argh tesco piss me off. You have to show id when you want to collect something. Dp is going past later and they won't let him pick it up it has to be me so I have to make a special journey to our nearest tesco (20 minutes away ) to pick it up

They've got BIRDIES too!

Ewe I don't think that's the right link for Folksy!

Thanks so much for the stick man book link what a bargain!

Whoops! haha, thanks Miss Elodie

This should be it now. folksy.com/

That folksie site is gorgeous.
I want the honey bee candle !

Stick man is not only a brilliant Julia Donaldson book but it's Christmassy too! Win win

Nearly done my shopping though.

Thank you LaTrucha Just placed an order on The Gifted Penguin £1.95 was an automatic discount I don't know if that's just on sale items. But I'm as will my Dsis

Posted this at the end of the last thread -
Argos design a friend dolls are half price at 9.99. Really lovely little girl dolls with brush able hair and different outfits. They have only reduced the dark haired ones though

I went into Primark after the kids' swimming lesson today. They had a few bits of Xmas stuff. I got myself some pyjamas (I missed out on the ones I wanted last year as they'd sol out before I saw them) and some slippers (not Xmas ones but still quite winter themed), some non-xmas pj's for the kids (they won't be bothered about the pattern) and I got Dh some Xmas slippers and some superman lounge pants reduced to £5 from £9 (cos they didn't have any Xmas ones).

Not entirely sure Dh liked them but I think he was just relieved I hadn't bought him a Xmas jumper

I also got a pack of 5 toothbrushes for 75p. It'll all go in the Xmas eve box hamper along with the book I bought from a link on here, the Santa key we bring out every year, some sweets, some alcohol and some reindeer food.

Oh Lordy, 150 posts already, I'm playing catch up! That's what I bet for going back to work, but at least my credit card has had a rest!
