What were the hit presents that you bought from Reastie's bargain thread?

[Iamblossom]

Mine were:

Memory sticks shaped like a guitar and an ice cream
Banana rubbers
The star gazer light up contraption - it's fabulous!
Converse trainers
Womdee scarves
Pin art

I was a bit too late for most of the stuff not he thread, but I did get the Womdee scarves and they were great. I wasn't too sure that they would arrive in time. But they came Last Tuesday so I could return the ££ stuff I'd bought as a back up. Really pleased with them. Though not sure what to do with the odd necklace things they sent with them. Not my 68 yo MILs thing!

What is the star gazer light up contraption?

Man tin - as OH keeps a lot of crap

I know I didn't get those either red tinsel....

Lamblossom - Might chuck them into the 'crap for the school tombola' box.

yy to Molton Brown with discount codes.

Am giving the bargainous Furby to DD for her birthday next week so am hoping that will be a hit too.

Boots half price straighteners for dd reccomended by someone in the thread

The tassimo I bought for my mum for the bargain price of 35 pounds after someone posted the link on here.

I also bought a couple of play doh flip & frost cookie sets as spare gifts. They came in very useful as last minute gifts.

Bumpy rings and play doh flip n frost big hit with dd1 and dd2.

Lots of new chapter books a big hit with dd2 so for all the codes. I bought regularly throughout the year from The Book People so was glad the thread ran from January.

Finger lights, a year behind everyone else, but there was serious envy at the panto yesterday as kids flashed them round spite the overpriced light up toys on offer for £8!

Google glasses built today are a huge hit.

Zoo book also went down well, was almost as tall as nephew....

The snow glow Elsa for £27 i posted link to

Also the twin tiny tears dolls for my niece

and lots of other little bits :D

The frozen dolls from ali express. I think they were about $8 each and they were bigger and better quality than the one's for 20 quid they were selling in sainsburys. My daughter's taken them everywhere with her!

The Amazon miniature microscopes with LED lights on.
Fascinating (and freaky) what things look like up close!

The scarves - I gave one to Sis, one to MIL and one to a friends teenage dd. All alongside other gifts (mentally couldnt get past the price tag and only give that) - all were loved.

The leather make up wrap.

The soft Anna and Elsa dolls from Ali Express. I think I paid £10 for the pair of them. My girls love them. Thanks again to whoever tracked them down!

What's the star thing? I NEED to know!!!! please and thank you etc.

Oh yes - Aliexpress a MASSIVE success. I got big plush Frozen dolls, big plush Olaf and a massive bunch of frozen hair clips for pennies.

to scaredy for that

The snapfish photo boards. Gorgeous and only £1.99. Wish I'd bought loads more...

Oh yes, Ali express! Frozen dolls and football kits! Fabulous bargains!

I gave dh the tassimo for his birthday and it has been a huge hit. We all love it. Kids can make their own hot chic...

Aliexpress frozen dolls here too and the Google cardboard caused much hilarity at a party give hit for about £2.50!

The mini amazon microscope was a hit here too. Other hits have been a pom pom maker, toothless toy, mp3 player from lightning deals and blankets from debenhams- half price in sale and bought with the £30 voucher for £15, so £15 for 3 instead of £60. The double nectar point toy wheat warmers have also gone down well here.

Womdee scarves!
Made our own crackers and put them in them inside!
