Ahem, I can’t actually remember if I updated the links from 2 threads ago. I think I have, but I’m not sure. If you spot any links that don’t work and you’ve already told me please tell me again in bold Thanks and sorry.

Lots of watches heavily discounted at hsamuels here

pigleychez · 29/08/2014 21:59

So many fab bargains but they have made me realise that I actually have no ideas what to get DD's 6 and 4 this year! They don't need anything and have tons of toys! And I promised I wouldnt spoil them Blush Anyone suggestions?

Gutted I missed the story cubes though. Have just set up a Camelcamelcamel tracker on them.

Does anyone know what the delivery cost is for the coke bottles of you're only buying a couple, can't think of 6 people to buy them for!

TeWiSavesTheDay · 29/08/2014 22:01

Have you got a marble run? We have a galt one - Very popular here.

freedom2post · 29/08/2014 22:01

Neeko what was the name of the seller on AliExpress?

Clr2014 · 29/08/2014 22:04

Norksenormus please would you post the link for the Man U kit?

pigleychez · 29/08/2014 22:06

TeWi- Yep got one of them.

I kind of think im going to be buying stuff just for the sake of it!

Keepcalmanddrinkwine · 29/08/2014 22:10

Postage is £2.95 for the Coke bottles.
If you can only think of a couple, wait a bit. I thought of several more after placing my order.

Keepcalmanddrinkwine · 29/08/2014 22:10

Or see if anyone you know wants to order with you...?

ShowMeShowMeTheWine · 29/08/2014 22:20

Thanks For the book people codes. Just got £20 worth of books half price Smile

Really tempted to try ordering another tassimo...

TeWiSavesTheDay · 29/08/2014 22:22

It is hard! Our rule now is 3 gifts each from us only, they get stuff from relatives as well so the volume gets crazy if we buy more than that.

Sometimes I find if we have a clear out it's more obvious what they haven't got/needs upgrading.

Um... do they need new bikes/roller skates/scooters?

acsec · 29/08/2014 22:30

For all you Frozen lovers I had an email from The Internet Gift Store saying they have a Frozen sale Frozen sale

Clr2014 · 29/08/2014 22:35

Tassimo sheep Blush. I'm going to give to dh for bday... Not for me at all obv...

NorksEnormous · 29/08/2014 22:38

clr this is the seller I bought it off- the pics how it with no badge, I'm assuming it's for copyright reasons but when it comes it has the proper man utd logo sewn on the chest and even the 'authentic Nike badge' on the bottom corner. I've attached a pic of ds's to give you a better idea

Baaaaaa tell me more about the Tassimo deal, is it £35 for the machine - just wanted to check no free delivery code :) baaaaaaa its nearly my baaaaaaaaa birthday :)

misstiredbuthappy · 29/08/2014 22:43

Thank you acsec

Petal7 · 29/08/2014 22:43

Thanks so much for the stackable codes, fknfamilies - really made a difference at The Book People!
Whilst on there, I noticed Usborne Santa's workshop sticker books for £2.99 (before discounts). Thought it may be of interest to fellow Christmas crazy folk!
As mentioned previously, Hobbycraft have loads of Christmas craft kits for children for 50p/£1. I got photo frames, photo cards, colour in decs, masks, tree toppers, necklaces etc etc. Will keep mine busy for ages! Our pseudo Elf on the Shelf (from Ikea!) leaves a little activity each day, so it was v useful for that. Also got reduced snowflake cake wafer decs reduced from Lakeland last week and cool chocolate silicone spoon moulds for 99p. Ideal for festive hot chocs!
At my request, my lovey dh bought me the tassimo for Christmas today!
Baaaa! He has just said we should just use it once it arrives. Result! Maybe we should all have a simulaneous Christmas brew!

MabliHeulwen · 29/08/2014 22:44

More Thanks for Book People codes - that's DGF, DH's GF and a little something for my Dad done for less than £12! Our GFs are 85/86 and hard to buy for but these sort of things are a bit different and will be appreciated (well, by my GF, DH's GF is empathically not a Gunner Grin)

lucysmam · 29/08/2014 22:52

Have any of you seen any bargain scooters around? Max fifty quid each ish. I was considering micro-scooters but think my seven yr old may be a bit big for one (she's almost the same size as me -clothes and height wise Shock ) & I'm not convinced they'll be strong enough. I may be wrong though. We're going to go trying them out at ToysRUs at some point soon to see.

Clr2014 · 29/08/2014 22:54

Norks, that is very helpful; thank you. Do you mind telling me about sizes?

MamaDoGood · 29/08/2014 23:00

Could you get a second hand maxi scooter lucysmam? Definitely strong enough id say ! They are a bit pricey new but preloved should be within budget !

iloveholidays · 29/08/2014 23:01

How much do the bookpeople codes give you off please?

I can't seem to enter the codes before entering bank details so just wondering.

Thanks

pigleychez · 29/08/2014 23:02

Lucy'smam- DD1 is 6 and she recently got a Maxi scooter. She uses her sisters Micro scooter fine but she is small for her age, Plus we thought then it will last her years rather than another 1 or two.

TeWi- Scooters, bikes are all sorted.

I guess starting early gives me plenty of time to think of something! :)

MabliHeulwen · 29/08/2014 23:04

PAYDAY gives 15% off and AFLOWER gives 10% off Children's Ilove

ZIGGY911 · 29/08/2014 23:05

I'm after suggestions for a lovely Xmas DVD as I bought rubbish last year, any ideas before they get very expensive before Xmas.

Thanks
