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 Thanks

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.

Hi bargain hunters,

Have been faithfully following this thread for 2 years so not a newbie!
I desperately need your help!

My son is obsessed with a show called Team Umizoomi and the only gift he has asked for is the Umicar! (Remote control or push -not fussy!)

I can not seem to find one anywhere in the UK, I previously ordered one from the US but sadly it got badly broken in transit.
Please help?!

Must say hats off to Tesco customer service. I've had a shocking time with delivery of a coffee machine that I bought on black Friday (well Yodel are to blame) and Tesco have replaced it (for free!). Well done Tesco :)

If there is anyone left still without a house full of chocolate not me ho ho then Thorntons now have stuff half price or 30/40% off plus XMAS 25 is giving an extra 25 at checkout.

DrankSangriaInThePark · 18/12/2014 12:39

Hope dh is recovering Iggy.

Iggi999 · 18/12/2014 12:48

Thanks Elvish and Sangria, he should be fine just all very unexpected. Have gone through all the dcs gifts this morning and they all seem fine (and enough!) so big relief there. Will look through adult stuff tonight.
Need to send something to family overseas (Europe) so might need to attempt Amazon in a foreign language tonight!

Hello all, I've been quietly lurking for months! Furby boom crystal editions are on sale online at John Lewis for £45.

SparklyReindeerShit · 18/12/2014 13:49

Bloody toys r us are cancelling my snow glow Sad gutted.
There's no way I'll get one now.
Argos keeps saying can reserve in 4 days but how the bugger so you do that?!

PamelaEwing · 18/12/2014 14:24

So there I was in Asda doing a bit of a food shop and what do a I see on the toy shelf?? A £10 PLAYMOBIL CAMPERVAN!!! Ive only been looking for that (at multiple branches) since about October!! And of course I don't really need it now, but had to buy it anyway Xmas Grin!

TK Maxx had loads of great Melissa & Doug wooden and felt play food toys in stock as well as Melissa & Doug sticker books.

PamelaEwing · 18/12/2014 14:26

Sorry to hear that sparkly. Someone on this thread last night was offering a snow glow for sale last night as they had an extra one. Look a page or two back, can't remember who it was.

BettysFestiveFrolics · 18/12/2014 14:32

Ah hear you are, the old thread disappeared from my page! I've been struck down with tonsillitis, DD has a virus, DH has man flu and I've still got a list of things to do that is literally as long as my arm and yet I've still come to find you lot for the last minute twitch

I forgot to buy anything for DH or my parents from toddler DD. Any ideas? Obviously it's now too late for calendars etc that are my usual fall back.

OodKingWenceslas · 18/12/2014 14:39

I'm twitching but bought baby wipes jnstead!

glentherednosedbattleostrich · 18/12/2014 15:24

Sparkly, its to do with their deliveries. I was dubious too but got my Elsa a while ago

glentherednosedbattleostrich · 18/12/2014 15:27

Mama, they have 2 on eBay, on phone so cant link

AuntieMaggie · 18/12/2014 15:38

FFS emailed amazon seller about DPs present being late delivered and they have said they'll chwck with royal mail and refund it which is code for looks like we didn't really send it isn't it? otherwise why would they refund so readily? and it's a bloody expensive tool he wanted so now he's a present down and his others look very unexciting... any ideas as I'm skint?

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 18/12/2014 15:58

Maggie - Amazon have fab customer service n do refund v readily or replace n ask if original order eventually turns up you return it.

bizarre1 · 18/12/2014 16:45

I have a spare snow glow Elsa doll reserved at Argos in Cambridge (selected wrong store then managed to reserve one at the correct store too) for collection sun/mon. PM me for the reservation number.

WildFlowersAttractBees · 18/12/2014 17:17

Seriously good buy's in Sainsburys today. Most gift sets, pj's, christmas clothes (and lots of non christmas clothes) etc half price.

70% off decorations and wrap!

WildFlowersAttractBees · 18/12/2014 17:25

I also have my snow glow elsa reserved from my local Argos!

temporaryusername · 18/12/2014 17:36

Rymans have free next day delivery when you spend £30, and they sell a surprising variety of things. Also have 3 for 2 on gift wrap things if anyone needs any.

Gray and Osborne - GHWR8 should give 50% off and free next day delivery, haven't been able to check it as you have to sign in and I've forgotten my details, but you can sign up a new account too. Not massively bargainous but might be some accessories etc worth a look.

Thanks for the tips re crystal growing things - found a snowman for £2 in Peacocks!

Has anyone seen anywhere that has the middle size Baileys (20cl) in stock?

Petal7 · 18/12/2014 17:44

Just started on my Christmas stash for next year! I ordered cute Christmas long sleeved t shirts from Boden for £6.80-£7 odd. V happy!

Scaredycat3000 · 18/12/2014 18:13

WUME The capes are nice, second lot I've ordered, double layer of material, nice print, normal Velcro closure.
If anybody else is expecting orders from Ali do not panic about one shipment of post from China getting stopped. It's probably a miniscule amount of Chinese import post getting stopped that day.
