Christmas Bargain Thread 1: They closed our old thread!

[SideOrderofChips]

That was a surprise! Reasties annual links in the next post

Does anyone know if the build a bear thing is in store as well as online?

And if not does anyone know if you order online do they come in the carrier boxes? I want a toothless for dds 16th from dd2 and I would like princess Luna mlp for dd2 birthday but Luna is out of stock online

Yes, it's in store too - just says til stock lasts on email...
Don't know about boxes if you order online, sorry.

Our online Build a Bear came in a box 2 years ago.

Fab thanks both

This isn't a bargain as such but might come in useful for anyone doing an advent calendar with tiny pockets/drawers.
At the moment, if you spend £10 in Lidl you receive a free collectible Stikeez. They are really tiny but quite cute they've even got their own app

The build a bear come in a box with a birth certificate to fill in. £4 delivery and try as I might I've never been able to get free delivery

By box I meant the white and blue carry box thing inside the cardboard delivery box. At least they did at easter. Sorry stupid brain this week

Lots of reduced thortons gift sets

www.thorntons.co.uk/product/Hampers/Gift-Collections/Thorntons-Signature-Gift-Bundle/pc/2390/c/2564/939.uts?icid=HPfeatureM_signaturebundle30

This one has been reduced down to £30 I'm going to split it up and use it in different hampers that I'm making

This Cross pen is nice. It's in the Pen Shop for £60. www.amazon.co.uk/Cross-Century-Medalist-Chrome-3302WG/dp/B000EWS060

At what age are Build-A-Bears good for?
Soon to be 2 DD is showing an interest in dolls and I'm wondering if the Lalaloopy BaB would be any good?

Careful with the Thorntons dates. I've been stung with that before!

onehellofaride That pen is lovely, my OH has a new job and was thinking of a nice pen. Are they better than Parker??

Seasalt have some canvas shopping bags in their sale for under £5.

Allbeauty.com are doing an end of season sale if you are after perfumes / make up plus there are codes floating about. Just about to try one for 15% of MIL perfume

Nickdrake I'm not sure really, I think they are lighter. I just saw it and thought it looked like a nice gift. Doesn't look like we're getting one for FIL though as DH has said no one can get excited about a pen

Nickdrakes I would say that Cross pens are better than Parker pens.

Those of you who ordered through build a bear. did you get a confirmation email or dispatch email?!

I haven't. Had to phone build a bear as they didn't take the discount off. They said they'd refund me after dispatch.

just been to build a bear second time this week! (dd's had pocket money to burn!)

they ask for a code from the email to get the discount in store. I didn't have an email but spoke to manager who put it through as its not automatically being deducted even if u are a vip member. so check with manager before building if u haven't got an email

I ordered a build a bear with discount but had a few issues, had to use my laptop in the end and a credit card as I couldn't get payment to go through on my usual card.

And I did get a confirmation email straight away.

Seen a few good things in the last couple of days:

There's another Flash Sale at Sports Direct
Be quick though - ends midnight on Saturday 22nd August

There's the Entertainer Buy One Get One For A Penny Sale - I couldn't really see a lot in it myself, bnut others have said there's great bargains. I suppose it depends if what you are looking for is in the sale or not.

There's this ELC Wooden Castle -There's a massive price drop on it at Boots
It says it was £80 and is now £24 (or 2,400 points)
So a saving of £56
It's part of a big toy sale online at Boots
Up to 70 percent on selected Toys and Games

The Playmobile Princess Castle is 44% off at Amazon right now

Also on Amazon these calculator watches are just £2.45 - make great little stocking fillers :)

And there are loads of good stuff on the Tesco Direct Clearance section- especially in the toys section
