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.

Re the Monsoon "Elsa" dress, can you imagine how many little bridesmaids have had the "but I want to dress as Elsa!" argument over the past year?! So I'd say the Monsoon dress does fill a gap, given that Disney haven't been able to keep up with demand.

I love the Monsoon version. You know it will be good quality. I. must. not. Buy. It. EBay Anna/Elsa dresses turned up today and look great, even if the Anna dress does have a (random!) fake Tory Burch logo sewn to the front. I guess your average 7yo won't give a stuff about that.

Dd needs that monsoon dress for my wedding in November.

Hopefully one of you will have a clue what dd2 keeps banging on about...flying Tinkerbell HELP!! She says it's like Barbie, but not ...and flies. any ideas?

Lucysmam that would be the Sky High Tink I'm guessing.

The Monsoon Elsa dress- what one is it? that link just takes me to the main Monsoon page

Cheaper Tink with free delivery here

aaah, thanks Valerie will add to my watch list to see if it goes down over the next couple of weeks.

Monsoon Sitra Dress Link

She soooo does need it, Spotty. Deffo.

Oh it's beautiful! DD would love that. But she's not having it.

I want a Sitra dress!

trisis its not that great but the discount makes up for it I'll ask the ops team to keep an eye out for it on delivery and let you know as soon as its available!

Oooooh thanks for the Monsoon Elsa dress heads up, DD has been asked to be a bridesmaid next year and the wedding colours are 'cinderella blue and silver' I've sent the link to my SIL-to-be :)

:o at you lot picking up the most unbargainous Disney princess dress ever. I quite fancy one for me.

I'm going to do some RL bargain hunting tomorrow. Last year TK Maxx had real Brio wooden train sets in before Christmas so I'm hoping they have the same this year. I'll have a look at the throws before I make up my mind about the Amazon one. Sorely tempted though.

Thanks for the Runner's World link. That set will do nicely in MIL's hamper. DH will think I've gone bonkers with the magazine though!

Aaaaargh I have just re-done my dog's beds and was looking for a fur type throw cheaply to pop in to save the one dog wants to snuggle, the other is a grumpy wee shite loan sleeper arguement. They would have been utterly perfect AND I could have got one for myself too at that price.

Am raging I tell you!

love love love the monsoon elsa dress! dd really needs one but dp will kill me

AndHarry... the throw was an uber bargain at something like 70p, plus the £3 p&p.

I've caved. Both DDs have their lovely furry thrown on their beds now. :)

I bought unbargainous cushions today to go with my supremely bargainous throw --which is embargoed at the post office until redelivery--

Lucysmam, make sure you read the reviews of the flying tinkerbell. The two that valerie kindly linked to are different and if you look online, have mixed reviews. Dd wanted one for her birthday but the reviews weren't great, especially one with the pull cord... there is one with a button you press to release it that had slightly better reviews iirc...

I popped to Home Bargains earlier and got a lovely red/white biscuit tin and Christmas tea towels all for less than a fiver. Also lots of bargain Halloween sweets.

Waitrose have 25% off Lindt goodies including huge golden bells which will be tucked into the top of the Blondie family stockings

Still haven't made it to a Primark for the bed linen...

Right, can anyone talk me out of the next girls Christmas duvet sets? Since dc2 turned out to be a dd2, I've decided they're having a joint bedroom with matching bedding (twee I know) and I love the next one! But it's too Christmassy isn't it? To be the spare set? I couldn't use it in may could I? Or could I?!

Also, if anyone spots a gro clock for less than £20 PLEASE save my sanity let me know. Or if that's a totally bargainous price let me know and I'll stop being a bargain hunter tight and buy it.

Thanks Trisis, I was going to wait and see if it dropped then have a proper look. If the reviews aeren't great though, I wonder if aliexpress may have similar for less then she'll get what she keeps asking for & it's not too much to replace.

I'll do some hunting and see.

These star wars zip bins are good value:

Reastie I have sensitive skin and eczema and I found the lush dream cream expensive very very good for me. They'll give you a small sample if you. want to try it.

I went to my local Primark today and they didn't have the silvery stag bedding. I very unfortunately will have to visit the city to track one down, so please don't take them all!

I keep buying things I didn't know I needed
