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.

Ignore my previous post it sold out while my payment was being processed

whatsonyourplate have you thought about making a jumper for him? I saw a link recently for a tutorial to make mittens out of an old jumper, basically just cut out the shape and sew the open bits up. You could do it with a jumper or t-shirt and use some felt or pens to decorate?

Something like on this ...

Thanks elvish I might have to resort to that, but I'm not very crafty. I'd ask my mum to help as she's better at things like that but I know she'll be in flat out pre-Christmas panic mode.

Who was looking for a white toblerone?

What's on your plate- I was in boots yesterday and they had clothes in for cuddly toys, they didn't look very big so not sure if they would fit? Sorry I didn't catch the make.

I ordered a robofish as my last minute twitch. It was on dds xmas list

Lots of Christmas decs half price on John Lewis website.

on HDUK theere have been a few posts about toys r us having stock of snow glow elsa so maybe call your local one if you can. (Are people still looking?)

Should say- this si even though they appear out of stock on the website- so it seems worth actually phoning the store.

BHS has free next day delivery today for any last minute bits.

Twitched and bought the Maps and Animaliuk books. Thanks Reastie! I, not sure they're for anyone but I think they'll be fab additions to an otherwise fiction packed bookcase and hopefully DD will like them when she gets older assuming she'll be a geek like me

Iggi I got a free trial of Amazon family, like prime but lots of other stuff too, might be worth a look.
thanks all for these threads, I am pretty much sorted now and have saved so much money! I am still looking for two photo frames, some food to add to the fattoria goody box I got sent to a date night box I'm making for dh and now dd is still going on about a bloody ninja turtle! I don't want to spend more than a few pounds, she has no idea what they even are but has not stopped saying that Santa will bring her one!
help!

I should add that I really, really hate them and she is 4.....
they had bubble bath in sainsbos I think but all gone now..really don't want to have to buy one but she's not asking for anything else..

missmake, I bought photo frames in boots today, they were all half price. You might get some turtle stuff there too?

Oh yamas did you have to post that about the my little pony stuff in home bargains.

I think I have half of toys r us in the loft but...such good prices and I don't have those ones!

I'm being strong and not ordering Thr website ones but I am going to be in m and s next door to a home bargains on Sunday and if I pop in and see them there...

Whats onyourplate have you thought about buying premature baby clothes to fit the toy monkey. My ds was prem so I know that they can make them really tiny. Try boots, or mothercare for prem clothes.

Probably too late for Christmas but I have bought a few of these for the present cupboard, One Stitch at a Time only £3 and Knit One Purl One only £2.50 at the Book People, free delivery over £10 with code AFSNOWY .

I popped into Smyths today to see if they had a kaos trap for Skylanders after reading about it on here. They didn't (apparently they had a delivery of 8 yesterday and they were sold in an hour) but they did have Skylanders giants - packets of 3 and single ones all reduced to £4.99 instead of £25/£12 ish. And it was buy 3 for the price of 2 so I managed to get 3 different sets of 3 for a tenner that can all be used in the new game, which is just over a pound a toy. At that price I'm considering keeping them to use individually as bribes rewards for ds2 over the next few months!

Whatson a smart suit is a very cute request. Obviously a monkey with standards. I don't know of one I'm afraid but these are reduced if the measurements look any good -

missmakesstuff House of Fraser have half price photo albums at the moment. I bought a really nice one from there today.

I think I'm finally finished! Just waiting for a couple of items to be delivered, but other than that I'm done.

Thanks so much everyone for the bargains, and especially to Reastie for starting the threads

Not a bargain but an article on how important it is to look after your mental health at this time of year.

Thanks for the photo frame suggestions, will try boots as I have a few points to use too on myself

I have a moral dilemma. I ordered one of the sassy bloom boxes from several threads back. Paid £9, it took forever to come and was pretty underwhelming for the full cost. I complained about the lateness and told them I wanted to cancel the subs, they did but still took 30 quid fron my account. Refunded a few days later...
yesterday, a sassy bloom box arrives. Few nice things, again, surprising it is meant to be over 40 squids worth of stuff...checked my account, they've not taken any more cash.
what do I do? Own up and send it back? Really don't want the hassle or the postage. What if they send another?

I have just received a £20 book from Littlehampton Book Services but I didn't actually order it and don't appear to have paid for it - very strange!

miss make whsmiths had busy books in for £5 and had ninja turtles. they are books, with 12 little figures and a playmat. my dd's 6 and 2 love them.

If anyone is still here, can ypou he me a deal on a digital camera for 7yo dd1?
