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.

Mine looks exactly like that one , when I say mine, I mean dd3s, although he's wild cute, might have to snaffle him.

Popped into Sainsbury's on Friday and they had reductions on some of their craft stuff.

Got a paint your own flower pot set for 2 pounds and a make/paint your own wooden car for 1.50. Will be great for presents for friend's children.

They also had big tubs of Roses for 5 pounds and lots of Christmas bits like chocolate money and shortbread.

The Card factory had great deals on Christmas gifts bags (6 medium or 4 large for 1 pound) and lots of wrap and cards.

No selection boxes yet! Hope they get them out before my last trip to the UK in 2 weeks.

calling There was some small selection boxes in Poundland today. I know Tesco has a xmas food isle so might be worth a look there too.

Izzy Thanks. Sadly not big enough for DD1 though who's 6 :(

Aaw that's a pity pigley. They had all sizes in stock a few days ago so may be worth keeping an eye on?

Thanks pigley - we have one last trip in 2 weeks before I will be over here (NL) until our Christmas baby arrives. Will check out Tesco and Poundland if I can. Christmas isn't Christmas without a selection box!

Does anyone know if there will be another bargainous Red subscription this year? That will be mil's pressie sorted. Am now buying up bargains for the present cupboard as DS has started nursery and they seem to do whole class parties, so any under a fiver boys/girls/neutral pressies spotted would be appreciated.

Sorry but how do you go about getting NHS discount at Boots?Worked for the NHS for years and didn't realise I was eligible for a discount!thanks

John lewis had loads of unbargainous Christmas stuff out

Pigley, do keep an eye on the Matalan website. With the duvets they seemed to sell out but then have more in stock within a couple of days. Definitely worth keeping a look-out.

Pumpkins, Home Bargains is your friend. Whenever I go in I tend to pick up a couple of bargainous items. I have two separate boxes, one for boys and one for girls, full. I would say to make sure you get things for their age +2 years. Some stuff that I've bought I haven't used and now it's a little young for DD's age (and her friends)...

Has anyone used one of these? Tempted to buy a couple...

Is it just the loom bands from overseas that may have safety issues? I've bought some other plastic bits such as the tooth paste squeezer, and wondering if I should get rid of them?

Co op have festive haribo and giant choc coins in :)
Am off to John Lewis next week so shall report back!

I have used the Google Cardboard. Amazing. Amaaaaaaazing. I cried.

And thanks Maranello, I have some Frozen bits for Christmas now. Phew!

Really ItIsnt? I'll have to then... Sounds fab.

That looks interesting GREYCROW, just ordered one for DH, he loves gadgety stuff.

Seems to be quite a few apps on Play as well as the official one too.

Playmobil Native American set on Amazon £12.84 (from £32.99). No idea if DS will have a clue what to do with it but couldnt resist.

ItIsn't and Grey, DH loves gadgets and even though I work for a technology company, I appear to be phobic. What on earth is it??? What does it do (other than make you look a little crazy if you wear it...)?

Wilko and poundlans has all their selection boxes and advent calendars out :)

I got this baby monitor today from sainsburys reduced to £21. It said the original price was £69.99 - currently reduced on Amazon to £46.50.

Right there with you loader thanks for the tip x
