Christmas bargain thread 22 - single figures until Christmas

[GodReastieMerryGentlemen]

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.

I've been a bit rubbish and not updated from last thread. But things are settling down for Christmas now so I'm working on the basis it's more a share of sales bits coming up/how the presents went down on the big day.

Thanks for posting the pirate ship. That is DS' present for next year sorted. Can't believe the hotel is down to £40...although I'm not sure a 5yo would have appreciated me saying santa was bringing her present next week!

Yes, thanks to all, I've lurked/contributed minimally to these threads - it's been three years, hasn't it?

I've been largely organised for all three Christmases, and my present drawer is always very well stocked also.

Merry christmas!

Reastie My relative thinks things would go down on boxing day but wouldn't go to really low prices until later. She doesn't know anything for definite tho. As soon as i know anything for certain i will post. Not very helpful sorry!

Thankyou Reastie and all.
HAVE A LOVELY CHRISTMAS!

Boots online sale is on!

Thanks Nanny, could you keep me updated? It's the end of sale stuff where it's heavily discounted I like the best

ohhelp well done for keeping things Christmassy in the face of adversity, keep it up

Thanks to everyone here too for posting everything and being so lovely, it's not down to me, it's down to everyone

Hope everyone enjoys their presents tomorrow, will be interested for present updates for what went down the best etc.

Merry Christmas everyone and thanks as always to Reastie. I worry if these threads stop and I have to buy `normal' presents people will think I am pissed off with them as the quality of the gift will nosedive
And to get back too it, last year Argos had Lego advent calendars half price on Boxing day I think which was great, I'll try to keep on eye out this year but I have the in laws coming so if anyone sees them for a good price I'd appreciate a shout.
And now for prosecco and Madagascar 3.

Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks for all your tips especially reastie. I shall miss catching up with the thread each day.

I am a saddo with a spreadsheet in which I put all my gifts, how much they were and how much I have saved compared to the usual selling price. I haven't used the rrp as they are often so inflated (though may sit and work it out later for my own pride.) So for example I have given a cook book and put the usual price in as £10 since you can almost always pick them up for that even in waterstones rather than the £25 rrp.

So I have spent £438 for a usual selling price of £886. So about 50% off. I used some Amazon vouchers I got from last years quidco. Thanks to their festive bonus I have earned another £67 of cash back to use next year.

Thanks for all your help. I will let you know the rrp saving if I can be bothered later. I am SO SO pleased. We are in the car now on the way to PIL and it looks like santas sleigh in here- we both have big families so buy for about 25 people. Thanks again!

Thank you to everyone who has posted and a BIG thank you to Reastie for the time you have put it in to organising the threads.

I have bought some great gifts and saved loads. Already looking forward to next years!

I hope you all have a great Christmas and sending an extra sprinkle of Christmas joy to ohhelp

Want to wish you all a very lovely Christmas.

Big thanks to everyone and especially Reastie for putting threads together.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Fab work for another year.

Reastie, a star as always

A massive Thankyou to Reastie and all you other lovely bargainous posters. I've saved a bundle this year. Hope Santa is good to you all ;)

It's Christmas ?? . Happy Christmas

Happy Xmas currently feeding 5wks old, 4yr old still asleep.

Now do I buy the toot toot animal thing on offer on Amazon for baby for next Xmas. (Bear in mind ds1 plastic toy kitchen for 2nd bday was brought when he was 4weeks old as was a bargain £5)

Large lego sets in stockings was inspired. The kids are quiet enough for me to chill watching Lion, With and the wardrobe.

Funny moment when dd opened little troll keyring and it's hair came off with the wrapping paper. Oops.

They loved the inflatable globes and weird little make up storage box.

Merry Christmas all x

I am now owner of an ikettle and DH hadn't even seen this thread.

I have bought some lovely clothes for my dc from the BHS sale for next winter at half price. BHS now stock Pumpkin Patch clothes. I wondered where they disappeared to.

I am also keeping an eye on the Woolsworth sales too.

I ordered some clothes in the Debenham sale and Next sale for DDs. should keep them going for the next year. All half price.

I got xmas cards and wrap too for next year.

Thanks to all the bargain hunters who offered codes and discounts especially those who suggested zombie themed gifts for dd1 as they were a HUGE hit and I'm now SuperMum

Thank You to everyone who contributed to these threads. My family have all had an amazing christmas

Well they all loved the finger lights! When DH asked where I'd found them I answered, "Christmas bargain thread of course..." To which he replied, "I should have known!" I then explained how you all had them last year and I'd wished I'd bought them, so got them this year... Went on to explain that there was a new version with fibre optic bits this year, and was then asked, "are we always going to be one year behind the rest of Mumsnet?!" Made me laugh!!

Hope you all had a brilliant Christmas!
