A happy friendly bargain christmas present ideas thread. Does what it says on the tin.

[Reastie]

I hope . I’m getting really uninspired with thread titles aren’t I

I will not mention the last thread.

15th thread

If lost then see message 2 on the first page for the codes/info collated from previous threads (to save slow loading for those using phones).

moosey where did you get your washi tape from ?

I went to IKEA this morning, I bought 3 elves :) and lots of Christmas tableware and gingerbread houses.

I also went to Dulnem Mill and got the Christmas throws for the kids.

I had a look in Smyths toys but noting took my fancy.

I need a pogo stick as cheap as poss and one of those wiggle car things or similar, or outdoor toys in general that my boys can belt about on although not bikes or scooters as they have them already.

Thanks guilty but I don't have an Ikea near me and DH hates it there

Theonlyoneiknow washi tapes. I bought gold, silver, holly pattern and these corner patterns (pic does not do it justice). I got blue/silver and peach/gold.

reastie found your old thread about Elf on the shelf from last year.

DD and DH currently putting asda kitchen together

I popped into ELC earlier and they have a sale on, they had a Happyland Train set which was reduced from £40 to £20 which DS (22 months) loved and had a tantrum over leaving it on our way out of the shop if that helps anyone!

Also at 'The Works' they had lots of reduced things like puzzles, books and games. I didn't get much time to look, but I'll be popping in there sans DS soon!

My cosmetics fairy stuff came. Apart from one of my items being out of stock its brilliant. All decent stuff and no testers. (Might have kept a glitter pot for myself.)

SPARK10 also for 10% off a £30+ spend at the book people until 10 Nov.

Tk Maxx good for socks sets - have a number of different types, Bench, Ben Sherman, French Connection, Pringle - in boxes, and for about £7-10.

LED Christmas t-shirt £9.99 free delivery

I just used the vertbaudet code to buy a hat, scarf and.gloves set for Ds2. Seemed to work fine. Paying the postage was annoying though!

Has anybody spotted Scene it-Harry Potter for a good price? I've found the full version for around £20 and the 2nd edition for about £10 but am holding out for a mega bargain and totally blaming you guys for making me this way

Cat it is in the works for 9.99, it was online but they have sold out not surprisingly,you may find it instore if you are lucky.Hope you finds one.

Another letterbox bargain beeter than half price £8 - lego style castle and carriage

Thanks for the Elf Argos link, bought it (and 3 more dresses for the girls in my life!)

Boden have an up to 40% off everything from Mon 21- Sun 27th

Just read on MSE that Sainsburys sale on Wed 23rd this week

Been to town today - got some Deadly 60 bubble baths, 3 for £1.50 in Boots for stockings, and a table top air hockey set for £10 in Morrisons. I also got myself some Hearmuffs in JL!

Theonlyoneiknow Paperchase also have Washi tape sometimes (not sure if it's seasonal or if they just don't have it in my local store). I've bought it from Etsy in the past too.

Dh ordered himself a hoody and jeans from The Hut with the 15% off code last night, along with some canvas shoe things. Then I took advantage of the Matalan code to order some jeans as my current jeans have been worn to death one pair actually has a hole in the crotch .

Oh and I've just had a letter from Country Living saying there has been a delay with my wellies and they'll be with me within the next 28 days. Fingers crossed they are.

Moosey how sure are they? It's always been on a Thursday before?

Has anybody received their Gift of Murad set from Glamour? I'm still waiting, have emailed them to find out what's happening.

Cataline b&m were doing Harry potter scene it last year for £4.99.

In b&m today they have the pack of 8 Christmas pudding or Santa bin bags for 99p.

Anyone looking for Sylvannians, just popped into my local Home Bargains and spotted this, Cedar Terrace House including family, furniture and saloon car (which seems to be RRP £19.99 by itself) all for £49.99

Hmm, just Googled again and spotted the Cedar Terrace is cheaper elsewhere, but that seems to be for the house alone, so still looks like a decent set for £49.99.

Too wet- I haven't had my Murad set either. Would be interested to hear what they reply to you is. Thanks!

guilty and nick thanks for the Works and B&M tips. Will check out both tomorrow!
Also planning another sneaky trip to IKEA tomorrow as I'm sure they hadn't put out all the Christmas stuff when I went on Tuesday!
