Zulily is worth a look and has new stock every day. use this link to earn me some credit for referrals thanks My tip if you’re buying something big with hefty delivery fee is so buy something cheap and small from their site first then you get free delivery for the rest of the day so then go back and buy bulky order.

YAY thank you!!

Crikey that suddenly got filled quickly. Thanks for the op update helpm deduct points for me being organised, must do better.

Checking in I am sooo behind on last year!!

I was in WH Smith earlier and they had all their stompeez on offer at £4.99, can't find it on the website so it must be an instore offer only but it might be worth while going in if you were thinking about getting them.

Harking back to finger lights - job lot here

My DD invented a light sabre last night by taking the ends off two lights the same colour and sticking them in either end of a straw. Looks surprisingly cool!

Smyths have got a toy sale on. They've got the Skylanders Swap Force starter sets for £10 each - a couple of christmas's ago they were about £70 and have been about £30 until recently. They've also got the characters reduced.

Ds2 (7) loves skylanders trap team which was the one from last year and is already asking for the new version for next Christmas. However as we have a wii I think it's too old and they're not doing a version for it so will have to go retro instead. Fact it's a bargain is a bonus

Smyths also had some reasonably sized Kreo 'Lego' sets reduced from £13 to £3 - might be useful if you need filler presents on the cheap.

Right that's it I'm taking this as the sign to start shopping for Christmas. I was really organised last year but left all the wrapping too late and so this year I bought a load of wrapping paper in the sales and I'm wrapping as I go. I'm determined to enjoy December this year.

Current bargain rather than a christmas one but could be useful if people are looking for cheap cinema tickets between now and mid October!

Groupon have got an offer on Odeon Cinema tickets - £10 for 2 or £20 for 5. From what I can work out, you can use the tickets individually. Max of '10 tickets per guest' which I assume means that you can buy 10 tickets and/or that they don't want you to use them for a party of 20 people but no doubt they'll tell you if you try to do something wrong!

Could anyone recommend where I could buy an Elsa Coronation Dress? DD has just announced she'd like one and I'd prefer to order one on recommendation. She'd like the gloves too - so any suggestions on Elsa gloves (for a 4 year old) would be great too!

Yay it's officially Christmas shopping time! ????

?Lego? Movie 70815 Super Secret Police Dropship set ??reduced? by 49% to just £35.99 at ?Amazon. Pretty sure I read that the Lego Movie stuff his is going to be discontinued soon.

Police Dropship

Thanks for the Odeon link.

I lurked last year but am delurking now. People just don't get my want to discuss Christmas yet. Although made them set the secret santa date today.

Some Lego Agents on offer at 50% off too

UltraCopter vs. AntiMatter click on other sellers to see the Amazon price

Hurricane Heist

Ooooh marking place. I'm with you every year and thought I might be a bit late to the party but not as late as I thought.

Wahey! Let the shopping commence!

Dropping in too to place mark on the first thread

How early can we demand request the Christmas emoticons?
must do for now

The amazon links just seem to open up this thread in another window for me. Am I doing something wrong?

Same problem with the Amazon links here. Some work and some redirect to the Mumsnet page.

I'm almost finished Christmas shopping but there's always room for more bargains.

Chocolateteabag they are always here!

Showgirl I've just bought an Elsa coronation dress from Shenzhen Excellent Trading Co on Aliexpress. Was about £8, quality is nice, cotton and velvet, as good as a supermarket costume once I've ironed it. But watch the sizing - go by cm not age. I got the biggest age 7 140 for my tall slim Dd and it will just fit her for her 5th bday soon. I looked again and can't see a bigger one anywhere.

No idea where she got the idea to ask for the coronation dress though!

Oh and her gloves were just the plain cheapy set with tiara, etc. Might get her the gold tiara too.

We're having teething problems with this thread unfortunatly because im a bit blonde

It will be fixed when Reastie takes over!

issynoho thanks - I'll have a look at Shenzhen Excellent Trading Co and thanks for the guidance on sizing.

Re. the gloves/tiarar - did you also get them from Shenzhen or from a supermarket?

Anyone seen a decent Cinderella dress?
