As someone else said on the other thread, its actually quite depressing trying to finish the one from December off.

So lets try and fill this one instead :D

Not sure if someone else has posted this but Amazon are doing fuzzy felt advent calenders for £2.58 rather than £12.99. It is an add on item though so have to spend £20, but good deal of buying other stuff anyway. The calender opens up like a 3 page card with square fuzzy felt in the middle and each day opens up a Christmassy felt to stick on square and make scene.

Loving this thread even tho it's june lol

Zipzap - I'm definitely interested in the Lego head, so I'm going to pop into home bargains.

LondonBetti · 18/06/2015 18:14

Playmobil rock band and stage on sale at Argos here

Looks like a good price as it has a girl band and keyboard extras

poppetina · 18/06/2015 19:19

Went to my local home bargains, but no Lego heads there. They did have some good little playmobil things though, little boxes with people and an accessory in (I got a boy on a scooter and a lady with a pram), reduced from £4.99 rrp to £1.99. Thought they'd make good stocking fillers. I also bought a toy lawnmower and gardening tools (plastic, fairly cheap feeling) for £6.99. Cheaper than the elc one which is usually £15, and I have two delighted DC's. It's not a Christmas present, obviously, just a bit of a bargain!

Mipe · 18/06/2015 21:57

These Water Beat Speakers from B&M are really good and only £9.99 at the moment Smile.

FireflyGirl · 19/06/2015 04:27

Asda have got a toy sale on. Not sure how good some of the offers are as DS is only 3 months so I've not needed to look, but I've heard people mention the Octolab before and it's £15 here!

FireflyGirl · 19/06/2015 04:33

Also, scuttlebugs for £15. The full selection is here

Don't know if this has already been mentioned but argos have a Christmas craft set for £3.99 reduced from £19.99. This is my first 'Christmas 2015' purchase :)

InNeedOfANap · 21/06/2015 17:10

Can I Join? Have a lot to buy this year and last year I was so organised and my DDs birthday is quite close to Christmas so I'm hoping to have everything done for Christmas by November then I can just pick up any extra little bargain pieces I find

Lupercal · 21/06/2015 20:52

I spent a happy couple of hours the other night searching on here for threads like "what to buy for 6 year old girl" and similar (adjust as applicable).

Brought up some fab threads full of ideas I would never have thought of myself, which I have added to my special Amazon Christmas buying wishlist and even put into camelcamelcamel.

I really feel like I have a grip on it now - I've got a fairly good idea of what I will be getting, and how much I am likely to be spending, but plenty of room for adjustment. I've got about half a dozen things already, bits I know will be loved, not particularly bargains, but spreading the cost.

AdmiralCLingus · 22/06/2015 20:31

If anyone is looking for the equestria girls rocks dolls, I saw them in home bargains for £1.99! I got a pinkie pie, princess lulamoon and a dj pony one too for £6 less than half of what I paid for the last bloody one

SideOrderofChips · 22/06/2015 21:03

Apologies if this has already been posted, but dotcomgiftshop have some lovely stocking fillers in their sale.

wigglesrock · 23/06/2015 12:20

AdmiralCLingus - thank you, you're a star. Have stocked up in Home Bargains - we are the house of MLP at the best of times Smile

Reastie · 23/06/2015 15:21

Loki I was coming on to post the sMe thing! Bought three but disappointed as the boxes are completely battered so can't use for anyone other than dd who will now get all three and Argos isn't near me so not going all the way back .

AdmiralCLingus · 23/06/2015 15:47

wiggles did your home bargains have any different ones? I bought dd a rainbow dash and fluttershy from asda today as they were reduced to £9 and SHOULD have been 2 for £14, but didnt notice til I was home that they hadnt gone through on the offer so paid £18. Not the home bargains type offer but still better than full price!

Also picked up one of the christmas craft boxes which was battered too reastie... looks like theyre a bit of random stock theyve found shoved under a pile of something else. Good job mine is only for dd!!!

wigglesrock · 23/06/2015 17:10

admiral No they just had DJ Pon and Pinkie Pie when I was there

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 23/06/2015 18:53
