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.

Just stocked up on chocolate coins in Wilko, 2 bags for £1.

HMV have Disney classic DVD's on buy one get one free so I just got 2 copies of frozen for £12.99 (one for DD and one for DN).

Dunno. Add some more cheese. And some pepper. Disguise is always the best answer

Notso, yes, it's from Home Bargains and I've just found the receipt, it was £1.29. There were a few other designs too.

Thanks for the link DuelingFanj, I'll have a read and see if it's compatible.

I decided to go back to town and get some more sets of the 3x Nails Inc varnishes for £4.99. Then I went to B&M, New Look, Dorothy Perkins etc and spent a load more!

Just bagged me 4 of these for presents- only £1.58 and look really nice:
Mulberry Silk Kerchief Square Scarf /Bandana
Delivery is free too- from a seller on amazon

Another request for anyone who has tried the cardboard thingy with an iPhone. Dh & dd1 would like them

Oops I pressed send too soon!

I got lots of lovely Christmas gifts (mainly mugs and miniature wines for hampers) and decorations from B&M. I love how cheap that shop is!

Here's the rest of the photos I wanted to post earlier. I got a biscuit tin in the same design as the heart place mats, the bag is huge- perfect replacement of the giant gift bags that rip, and I also got a couple if the same design but they have zips. They are both from Home Bargains.

There was another set of nail varnishes too, though I can't remember what colours they were. I think they were that crackle stuff.

Oh, it doesn't say what phones that cardboard thing works with (unless I'm being blind which is likely!) Does anyone know if it does work with android?

Update to the Hobbycraft bargains - 99p embroidery kits have arrived and are lovely, much bigger and more ££ looking.

Also happened into The Works today and they have faaaab stuff - best was £1.99 tins with playing cards, dice and book of games, all themed round Wonderwoman, Batman, Superman etc. Look way more expensive than £1.99. Can't link but on Works website at £5.99.

Also wooden solitaire sets £3.99, those pin board desk toys that take the shape of your hand, face etc £6.99, lots of plain wooden boxes, chests, etc for painting or deco patching.

Ignore that last post, I googled and it says it does :)

ohhelpohnoitsa Def saw flippy dogs £4.99 in our B&M last week while I was pondering Lucy Dog.

IKEA Leeds had all the Christmas stuff in today - stacks of it!

Just ordered 6 of the google cardboard things. Thanks to whoever linked it

to all for answering my questions. Just checking Dragonboob did you get the 18-24 or the 2-3 for your 2 year old?

I've just had a stock alert to say Elsa Snow Glow doll is back in Stock at toys r us. was planning on using the £5 off code Birthday7 but got one in Smyths last night. They did say they all went straight back out!

Thanks for your suggestions 306 and Mabelbabel.

Unfortunately she doesn't have pierced ears otherwise those earrings would have been perfect.

I love the hat and mittens, but for someone else on my shopping list rather than her.

There is a bit of a back story, as to why I don't want to spend a lot.

The girl's mum has, in the past, organised Secret Santa and been very pushy about upping the budget to £20. She has then blatantly spent WAY less than that on me, when I KNOW she got my name in Secret Santa.
Deliberately used Secret Santa to get snidey sort of gifts for people....Can't really go into detail without outing myself.
Given me a re-gifted gift for my birthday which I know was re-gifted as I BOUGHT IT for HER years ago,,,.It.had "Use before 2011" stamped on the back!

If anyone has any more ideas on what I can buy a 9 year old girl, that looks like it cost me more than a fiver I would appreciate them.

Thanks

notso I got the 2-3 I didn't want to risk it as they were coming so far!

ELC have a nice Christmas jigsaw in their 2 for £10 offer here.
