Christmas bargrain thread 5 - with ‘furry boobs’, and ‘can somebody please explain why I have just bought Elf on the shelf when I have a house full of teenagers’

[Reastie]

As previously, if you shot a link in the OP links isn’t working/no longer in date, please let me know by posting in bold so I can easily see to update

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 and sorry.

My first aliexpress order has arrived. I'm impressed! Soft dolls of Anna and elsa and Olaf too.

Thanks for the Alipress Elf on the Shelf report. I wanted one last year but they were very expensive. £5 is great

Thanks for the tassimo link. Ordered on Sunday night and it arrived today. Our old machine has just packed up. The pods are on offer at tesco for £3.

Well, the answer to my Tassimo question is that yes, they will deliver 2 machines bought with the same card to the same name at the same address. So, since I caved to the Tassimo Twitch and got DH to buy his own, I now need to convince my DB that a) his new kitchen needs a Tassimo, and b) that he should wait until Christmas...

Anyone have a link to elf on the shelf dolls? are we certain they're safe (non toxic)? I won't be eating it personally, my toddler may try

Not sure which seller the PP used but I am guessing it was the defective doll one.

No idea of it's toxic, but mine will be an ornament not something to be gummed.

Someone was looking for Christmas chair covers a while ago. These seem to be good value & reasonably priced.

4x Santa hat chair covers at £8.00 free delivery.

And snowman & Santa 4 chair covers £11.99 & free delivery.

Will an aliexpress order get charged at customs? Should I do lots of separate orders instead?

Oooo this is a bargain!

mega bloks first builders 220pc big building tub- pink was 59.99 now 22.94

The Book People have got a warehouse sale on at Haydock this weekend if anyone else is in the North West.

Was in Ikea today and there was a poster saying that Christmas items will be instore at the end of September!! The build yourself gingerbread house was a huge hit and who could forget the Nordic Goat from last years posts

I really want those chair covers, they are amazing.

I tried to post this last night but MN went down as I hit preview so I'll try again.
After much deliberation with DH, I've ordered a How to train your Dragon 2 soft toys from Aliexpress four for £14.65. DS1 wants Toothless, but DS2 wants Stormfly which is sold out usually £9.99. I expect them to arrive 2/3 weeks and will report back. I'll post this on the Christmas Aliexpress as well.
Also a Scooby Doo £3.06.
Since then the Scooby doo has already been posted
AtlanticDrift I've explained it all in this thread Ali thread

Thanks scaredy. I didn't know there was a specific thread. Gosh we are such pros at this Christmas shopping lark this year!

Lucysmam, I've been lucky and searched and found them at the near original price from other sellers so you might be lucky too!

Hi all, just got on here after a hectic day at work. DD improving (hurrah) but haven't had a chance to pm the kind offers from people to help me and I'm shattered so now off to bed.

new thread here and OP hasn't been updated, sorry . Jersey if you're still up for it and want to message me any links from here they would be very gratefully received, but no pressure.

never too early for a mince pie, surely.
