Valerie I got lovely Christmas jumpers for the dc last year in Sainsburys. I saw them, ummed and arrred about them and when I went back they were almost gone. I got one for ds1, was fluke I spotted one for ds2 a week or two later that I think was a return.

So I'd say if you see some you quite like - get them and keep the receipt to return them if you find something better!! Otherwise you risk having none at all...

Will have to check in Sainsburys then! I am in hibernate mode so badly, I want cosy things Grin

I think someone upthread mentioned the My Friend Cayla doll- I know it's a bit O/T as not bargain related, but I just checked the reviews for my internetless friend whose 9yr old DD is after one- they are awful! Especially for that price

Oh and I kept meaning to ask , did anyone from last year have any problems with customs charges? I had 2 bills last year (one from a secret Santa delivery which was a bit awkward!). I didn't order much from china last year and it does put me off a bit this year hasn't stopped me completely as I don't know what to expect.

ValerieTheVodkaFairy · 21/09/2014 13:17

I'm going to buy the mug for my zombie person, and artistically arrange one of the Womdee scarves in it, plus a few Lindt chocolate balls.

OodneedsanOod · 21/09/2014 13:17

Fab Valerie!

JerseySpud · 21/09/2014 13:19

Try Play.com for zombe tshirts. I bought one for DH me that says

'I like you
But if Zombies chase us
I'm tripping you'

Regarding the argos 3 for 2

If it is on all toys, amazon will generally recuse toy prices by a third to match which is great if you don't want 3 things. I bought loads when they did this last year.

John Lewis is also matching amazon prices it seems as their lego friends are much cheaper than argos

Hi, I'm in my 3rd year of serial lurking. Thank you so much for 2 much calmer Christmases! I love The English Stamp Company but also got carried away buying from this lady last year (postage obviously pricey from the US but well worth it and stamps are really sweet). Sorry - haven't got the hang of slick links yet! www.etsy.com/shop/cupcaketree
