Sorry, can't resist a bit of McCartney Christmas magic (that sounds a bit naughty Blush not meant to I assure you). Might balance it out with some good old Sir John of Lennon next time. Oh, just the thought of getting my Christmas CDs out of the loft is getting me excited (again, no naughty double meaning) Grin

Eighth thread already

As usual I’ve been a bit sporadic with this OP once again bla di bla (won’t repeat the rest of it as you’re probably bored of all the small print by now!

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

Does anyone know if there are any current offers on iTunes cards at the moment? In the past have seen some with 10% off or spend £20, get £25 card but can't see any offers now. Thanks in advance!

bymoonlight · 28/09/2013 13:17

I know its not for Christmas but if anyone sees any Peppa Pig party stuff reduced I'd be grateful if you could let me know.

DD2 wants a Peppa pig party so I need plates, cups, balloons etc

IsaacCox · 28/09/2013 13:21

ilike, here's some offers on itunes cards

JustBecauseICan · 28/09/2013 13:26

bymoonlight- I usually use Party Ark for party tableware, and top it up with ebay/amazon. I'll have a look in my email see if they have sent me any codes.

JustBecauseICan · 28/09/2013 13:28

ABV170 gives 10% off any order with Party Ark. (don't actually know if they do PP stuff though!)

IsaacCox · 28/09/2013 13:31

bymoonlight there's quite a bit of peppa pig party stuff from Tesco here. The party bags are half price at 75p.

blondieminx · 28/09/2013 13:35

WithConfidence Thanks for the playmobil fire engine link! Fab!

VoldemortsNipple · 28/09/2013 13:49

My Country living and Glamour mags have arrived.

Glamour have a new offer on. 3 magazines for £1 with £23 worth of Body Shop goodies free gift. here I mean, it would be rude not to take up such a good offer. hides two Glamour mags behind cushion Blush

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 28/09/2013 13:53

If anyone has someone they know in America that can post items over, I've found this site that does personalised silly straws but only post in America...I'm currently trying to persuade my brothers long distance GF to send them over...weve never actually met but whats a favour between family Wink

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 28/09/2013 13:56

Can you just get the 3 issues for £1 of Glamour or do you have to sgn up for the year?

JaquelineHyde · 28/09/2013 13:58

Right I have decided to get DS1 and DD1 a tablet each for Christmas and I think it is going to be one of the new Tesco ones (the Hudl I think they are calling it)

I have looked into it and they look really good but wanted to check what you lot think before I commit to spend that kind of money.

They will both be 8yrs old by Christmas so not babies if that makes any difference.

SpottyTeacakes · 28/09/2013 14:00

Voldermort Grin Definitely rude not to!

saladfingers · 28/09/2013 14:03

My letterbox order arrived today in a Hawkins Bazaar box?Didn't realise they were the same company or have they just been taken over?Anyway the £1 Lucy Locket flip flops are fab as is the drill set and glitter art packs which were all half price!Smile Smile

SpottyTeacakes · 28/09/2013 14:11

Didn't Hawkins bazaar go bust? Maybe they used to own letterbox and they still have the same packaging?

QuietNinjaTardis · 28/09/2013 14:13

Thank you spottyteacakes have just ordered some bits inc bogof and getting a free gift. This thread rocks!

RhondaJean · 28/09/2013 14:19

Would it be insanity to take out a third glamour subscription for the body shop gift?

bymoonlight · 28/09/2013 14:22

Fill in the form on the Boots website and receive a free Miss Dior Sample

Link here

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 28/09/2013 14:23

Rhonda How does it work? Can you just order the 3 issues or do you hve to do it for a year?

IsaacCox · 28/09/2013 14:25

Thanks for the Miss Dior sample link bythemoonlight :)

BitchyRestingFace · 28/09/2013 14:28

Many thanks for the manuka set code, great bargain. And the Baileys sample, can't wait yes it is for me, not for Christmas

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but for those who did not get a Boden voucher, check your emails - lots of us had a voucher appended to an email they sent about Tweed. I had deleted mine unread (retrieved it now!) as it just looked like one of the ad mails they send all the time, nothing about a voucher in the subject line. Worth checking your deleted / spam files for anyway.

SodsLawRules · 28/09/2013 14:28

Of course not Rhonda, just done that myself Blush

MissElodie · 28/09/2013 14:33

Thanks for that MissBeehiving - I'll get some them for my DF Smile

Issac thanks for the rainbow blocks link - I'd not seen them before but they look lovely so have just ordered them for DD2 (even though I hadn't planned on buying her anything else - oops!). You are on a roll with this bargain hunting! Grin

ilikesweetpeas · 28/09/2013 14:37

IsaacCox - thanks for the itunes info. Am doing well with the Xmas shopping today! Smile

Kettricken · 28/09/2013 14:37

Thanks so much for this thread and the others. I've ordered from amazon, the book people, body shop, m+s, the manuka set, the Dior perfume and the sekonda watch. Not sure exactly who I'm going to give all this stuff to but it's too cheap to ignore Grin
