Christmas bargain thread 9. There is also a ‘plop up’ version

[Reastie]

Was looking for quotes for next thread and the plop up one from elvish made me

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.

No ikea Christmas stuff here yet either (Southampton)

Superdry Beanie

Not particularly bargainous but my 10 year old really wants one of these and I was quite impressed it was free delivery.

Barbie advent calendar only £7.69 on Amazon or Lego Friends £16.99. Sorry no links just got an email with them on.

Glad you're all loving the bits and pieces from Shen Yuan's store - I think it's about time he started giving MN discount!!!

jesses Warrington Ikea had all of 3 packets of Xmas cards on sale, it did however have signs up outside the store saying that new stuff was going on sale in Wednesday (today)... Might be worth giving them a ring to see if the new stock includes Xmas textiles? Wish I'd waited!

to whoever posted the Bigjigs link further up the thread, MIL will be thrilled with her pink Seaton tram

Do you think tesco will do their buy one get two free selection boxes this year?

Is there a way on aliexpress to search for all items of a particular seller? Such as the much loved Shen Yuan?

Moderation just type 'Ali express Shen Yuan' into your google browser or whatever browser you use and it will bring up direct link options.

Spotty I think last year they did buy two get two free. Their little boxes are £2.50 just now so I am sure they will do some kind of offer.

Thanks to JessesGirl for Gadget the Robot price drop. We missed out on the Robotgate cheap ones last year and have been loath to pay full price since. Thanks also to whoever posted the £7.90 Digibirds - two arrived yesterday. Both DC transfixed by the adverts cunningly placed between the Peppa Pig marathon on Channel 5 each morning.

For anyone on Kidstart or thinking of setting up an account you now get 2% cashback on Amazon purchases.

Thanks for the replies about Ikea, I need to go in there anyway to look at storage which makes me irrationally excited so I won't be too disappointed if there is nothing Christmassy :)

Thanks Pamela

Another Lakeland £5 off a £30 spend code if anyone needs it. It is one use only.

Got the stackable snowmen pens/pencils. They're very cute - perfect stocking filler.

And I've gone and ordered the google cardboard for £2.30 from the link earlier - thankyou :)
I've been googling and it looks like it can be used with an iphone, there are 5 iphone apps and apparently once updated to IOS 8 can possibly use the google cardboard apps - maybe. And the magnetic switch thingie not usable on the iphone. But for £2 odd it could be a bit of fun on xmas day.

You know, thanks to these threads, I'm nearly there!
Just a couple of main pressies: wooden trainset and possibly a 3DS.

Myhensareladies, how old are you looking for? DD has some barely played with bits at back of a cupboard waiting to go to charity shop, you are very welcome to them. But are prob only 1-2 years old? If that's any good they are yours!

Right I need honest opinions on gadget! I really should NOT buy anything else this month but dd saw him in Smyth's and was a bit taken with him and if he's good I'll buy him and starve for a week

So indecisiv!!!!!

Oh dear its only October and I'm twitchy!!! Lol

Wildflowers if you still have it I would love the Lakeland code please

Showmeshow me how about this friends necklace?

Captain America chest light £2.99

TRUS

half price Star Wars fighter pods

Thank you Gatekeeper and Kat3L, i ordered both!

It's all yours knackered.

Did you know there's an Ali Express android app?

Everything looks much better on the phone though, I've picked out several things only to recoil once I see them on the laptop...

No problem starlight, last year the DTs were too young for Gadget so I wasn't too bothered about missing out on him for £10.00 BUT this year it is the first thing they have actually asked for typical so I've been tracking it the past couple of months and then I got the price drop alert from Camel this morning. It looks like it went down to £24.00 sometime in November last year but I need it for their birthday which is the end of October so I don't think I'm going to get it any cheaper before then.

Debating whether to get the Google cardboard thingy for my dad. It will be a great source of entertainment for about 10 minutes then discarded but at that price does it really matter? I'm going to regret it if I don't aren't I?!

Whoever was looking their grans batmobile they have them in wilko for 20£
