Christmas bargain thread 18 - a goat for all seasons

[Reastie]

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

If I’ve missed anything good from any last threads onto the list please let me know.

badvoc Isme have the lego city train. It is £80 on there and then you could use the £30 off a £60 spend code (google isme codes). That would make it pretty reasonable.

wildflowers tesco f and f have some checked flannel PJ's in cream and lilac I think , and they have 25% off at the mo - not sure if that's just online?

SPARKLE gives free delivery over £15 and £5 off a £30 spend at the Book People (until midnight tonight).

Iamapaleontologist yes, but cheaper. Think I'm going to have to find a poundland and hope they have them.

i thought that was pretty cheap, it includes postage so by the time you get bus or use petrol to find a poundland, pay for parking etc. Never mind.

£2.50 or thereabouts delivered is not a bad price at all. Most supermarkets will have them in larger branches, if that's any use. I definitely saw some in a Waitrose the other day, but didn't notice the price (suspect more than £2.50 though!)

For the lady with dementia, would she like a bubble lamp? You can get large ones or table top ones.

Maybe one of those things that project stars on the ceiling? I had one of those for my son when he was a baby and it was lovely to look at.

The other thing I thought of which is very similar to the cuddly toy idea is that I have heard that a lot of people with dementia having a doll. A realistic baby doll might be appreciated. I am aware that could seem like an odd thing to buy an adult as a gift though!

As she likes bright colours would a bright picture for her wall might make her room feel more welcoming.

rosie what frequency is smooth christmas on please? (for my non tecky mum!)

I need a cheap snowman snowglobe for my downstairs loo if anyone has seen a good one. Am at my mums and she already has hers out and I have realised my life is incomplete without one

Christmas presents are now done so starting to shop for myself except I know I will keep buying for others as well

Liquidstate I was supposed to have stopped Christmas shopping for DS, but found myself buying the Melissa and Doug pirate chest on lightning deals this morning, plus a periscope as I had saved money

Wildflowers they had some red tartan check girls pyjamas in Primark a few weeks ago but they were with the Christmas stuff so I assume they'd still have them.

Found a book I really want on the book people, and it's only £2.99, anyone know any good codes so I don't have to spend the same again in postage?
I'm sure I can make the price up a bit, but don't need £25 worth of books though I probably could as book buying is addictive

Hi, Linzer had mentioned that SPARKLE gives free delivery over £15

beady Was going to mention SPARKLE, but see that nodrama got there before me. You could also try SPEND10 or AFTADAH (both were giving free delivery over £10 a few days ago) to see if they're still working.

The Book People also have this Lego Star Wars Visual Dictionary for £6.99 (£10 off), mine arrived last night and it is a lovely big book with a minifigure too .

Have just tried them out myself and neither are.

reastie - AFTADAH and SPEND10 no longer work at the Book People

Liquid, the card factory had mini christmas snow globes for 99p. Pretty sure they had snowmen.

Sorry if this is a repeat but Paperchase have £5 of if you spend £20 with the code XMAS14 from now until 27th November. Is online, or if you can get a voucher (I got one outside a shop yesterday), in store.

And I should have said Reastie in that above post!

If anyone else makes biscotti, fudge, brownies, cookies, whatever for gifts and is always searching for cheap cake tins to put them in I found a lovely set of three (biggest 10 inches) in Lidl for £3.99. They are all red with white snowflakes on. I usually try TK Maxx, Ikea and Wilkos but this Lidl deal seems very good.

Does anyone else remember a spate of mega cheap popular children's books on Amazon last year? Stickman for a pound or something silly. Anyway, does anyone know if that's likely to happen again and how you find out which ones are reduced to these crazy prices please?

Playmobil discontinued and damaged box list is out. Annoying the bits I would twitch for weren't on there phew x

Oh, and we got our 22 month old one of the wooden multi-storey car-park/garages from Lidl for £8; looks fine to me if anyone was wondering.

How do you get eh playmobil list?

Does anyone know what the M&S food gift offers are this week?

I have tried the M&S website but cant see it anywhere.

This is the list iama if you would like to order, you call playmobil. They will put you on the list for the next sale too x

Now umming and ahhing over playmobil castles......
