Seven threads already Shock

Massive congrats to girl and thanks for supplying me with the thread title Grin . Definitely call her reastie if it’s a girl actually would work for a boy too

I’ve been a bit sporadic with this OP once again in what has been selected for adding in or not as there are too many links to add them all in, hope I haven’t forgotten anything major. 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. I haven’t checked all links to see if prices have altered since last thread so apologies if youg et very excited followed by disappointed. I will try to do better next time. 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 Wink ) how would I do any shopping without you now

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

caffinated thank you for the very code, just used it to get disney infinity plus one extra character for my ds, he'll be thrilled as its top of his list!

leesmum · 19/09/2013 22:27

morethanpotatoprints I got one yesterday...it lasted about 5 mins Blush

WorkingtoohardMama · 19/09/2013 22:36

I did post about this website on the last thread, and it's not really a bargain, but today I received a mug from giftarama design and its lovely!

You send them a drawing your child has done and they put it on a mug, I ordered one for dh, and it really is worth it.

nickdrakeslovechild · 19/09/2013 22:39

Has anyone else got the Innotab from smyths as posted above? Its arrived and its fab, but ikea batteries last 3 - yes 3 Minutes and the super expensive ones last about an hour! LO has already seen it and is obsessed with it so having to buy a mains charger and rechargable batteries set for it, so if you have got it for a present you do need to get those in for it.

I thought I had finished all the Christmas shopping, but now need another present for a 4 year old boy and some sylvanian bunnies. If anyone sees anything suitable please shout. Other than that the Range has the Christmas shop open and poundland has zhu zhu pet oufits in.

acsec · 19/09/2013 22:42

Marking my place as off to bed!

Eddas · 19/09/2013 22:47

I love the personalised mug idea dd and ds LOVE to draw and do really good pics. I think my presents will have a theme this year/ thanks you workingtoohardmama Smile

WorkingtoohardMama · 19/09/2013 22:49

You're welcome eddas, I'm so pleased with it, had to share!

joymaker · 20/09/2013 00:49

A pleasure Reastie!

Moosey thank you, just bought 'the giant jam sandwich' at the Book People. Would have been happy to have got it for the already nice price of £2.99 as it's relatively expensive new on Ebay and hasn't dropped in price (been tracking it on camel for a while) on Amazon. With the codes CAKE for 15% off and CHEERS it was only £2.54!

JustBecauseICan · 20/09/2013 05:54

ScornedWoman Topcashback and Quidco are basically the same. You sign up, then always shop online by going first to their site, finding the seller and clicking through to them. Then you get a % back. Sometimes it's crapola (like 1% or something) sometimes it's pretty good (Body Shop springs to mind as being 12%) That's on top of all discounts/voucher codes etc (though sometimes they are pissy and will decline the cashback if you also used a code not on their site (they display all the major codes/vouchers you see around though so doesn't happen often)

Some cashback comes really quick, some you have to wait a good few months. Shift it to your bank/paypal asap. I have my settings set to just move any confirmed payment as soon as it shows.

Made £175 on Quidco over last 18 mths or so. Mainly at Christmas.

TCB is "better" as IIRC it doesn't hold your first £5 as a kind of subscription fee whereas Quidco does. Always better to check which one of the 2 offers the highest % as well as it can vary.

LovesBeingOnHoliday · 20/09/2013 06:27

If anyone isn't on Quidco yet and Tgey would like to register using my like I will get £2.50 www.quidco.com/user/855783/

LovesBeingOnHoliday · 20/09/2013 06:32

Btw so far I've earned £120 in tge last year. Just with anything I buy online including my car insurgence, hotel stays and even take always.

WaitMonkey · 20/09/2013 07:38

Quidco doesn't keep your first £5 anymore. I always look at both TCB and Quidco before ordering anything. Sometimes one of them will have an exclusive rate.

TeaAndCakeOrDeath · 20/09/2013 07:49

ToyRUs have a 50% flash sale today...

TeaAndCakeOrDeath · 20/09/2013 07:59

Crutchlow35 · 20/09/2013 08:11

Quidco is amazing. I have earned £3000 in the last 2.5 years.

Chockywockydoodah · 20/09/2013 08:39

WOW Crutchlow!!!!!

ScornedWoman · 20/09/2013 08:53

Thank you for the explanation, justbecause. I'll get signed up as I buy absolutely everything online :-)

MacNCheese · 20/09/2013 09:19

If any one isn't booked out i Just bought 'you choose' from the book people for 2.50 and 'the jolly postman' for 5.95 using the codes cheers and cake. It only lets you use cheers (for free delivery) once so make sure you order everything you want.

MacNCheese · 20/09/2013 09:19

For anyone with a Costco card from Monday they have scramble bugs for £17.98 (inc vat) in four colours. Seems like a good deal.
