Christmas Bargain Thread 1: They closed our old thread!

[SideOrderofChips]

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

Don't look, Reastie. You'll want but your wallet will not be happy with you!

X-post!

It's too late for me, they're all on my wish list now.

The clear ones look cooler than the solid coloured ones. Trouble is, are we putting adult standards on our DC? Like because we think they're great; they might not. And then that's £40 down the drain although I've done worse

The clear ones are my favourites, just look so luffly as well as fun.

I'm going to wait and see if your DS likes his for his birthday before I buy, milk.

Though mine love Lego and making random stuff from cardboard boxes so can't imagine they would love these. And if they don't then I can have them!

I just noticed on another thread that the NERF Rebelle Heartbreaker Bow is down to £7.46 on amazon just now (free delivery with prime).

I have no idea what these are but I know my friend was looking for one for her DD and was trying to find it under £10 so assume this is a good price. Hope it helps someone.

^ it is a very good price ^

Camel Camel thingie shows it has never gone below £11.00

Marking my place! I have bought some porcelain painters with the idea that I can make some presents for people to save money. I've spent about £30 on six of them, so if I can make presents for ten people using ikea for the plates etc I'll be happy.

I've just bought the crossbow thing for my niece, she's 7 so I hope it'll be appropriate.

Would that crossbow thing be good for a 9/10 year old or too young?

I don't understand the nerf thing. Do they just fire the darts around indoors?

Mine would just annoy each other firing them at one another all the time.

Ooh! TU at Sainsbury's just launched their online clothing store. Not sure if the 25% sales will apply online as well as instore, guess we'll have to just wait and see

Will be handy for school uniform and dressing up costumes, can never get the right size school tights instore.

Pamela, I shopped using the TU pilot and unless I'm very much mistaken the 25% events and any sale prices were applied online as well as instore.

Here goes my first bargain post....

For those of you doing Xmas hampers this JL box is half price. Lovely size and comes with red filling etc

I'm in!

Shopping my for an almost three year old and an almost eleven year old (boys) here!

Thanks to those that do these threads.

I think Nerf Rebelle is for 8+, so fine for 9 / 10 year old, and for (7 year old too I'm sure). The reviews say they need a bit of strength to pull back far enough for a good shot. It's for outdoor use really, although the darts are soft so probably can't do too much damage in the house.

Worth a punt at that price, anyway :D

I've used the tu pilot site too and 25% was always on there too. Thanks for the prompt, due another baby in three weeks so can get some basics.

Great to see that TU are finally online - I keep finding things I like then they're out of stock in my size.

Anybody doing beauty type hampers or wanting beauty things to pop in stockings etc, poundshop.com have some Revlon nail varnishes, eyeliners and other bits and bobs for a pound each, there's also OPI, Jessica, Bourjois stuff and more.

Postage is free if you spend over £30, before that there's a sliding scale of £1-£3 depending on amount spent.

Worth signing up for their newsletter as it has offers in and there was a pop up that offered me 5% off for my first order.

I've just been looking at other stuff they have - it includes vaseline little tins of lip salve, Johnsons baby lotion, plenty of stuff to look through that could be added to stockings for kids. Some brand name stuff, some strange brands that look cheap but they seemed easily avoided!

Going to join in, have no bargains to add but I've been on Amazon and my wish list is full of Minecraft.

I'm buying for Ds1 19, Ds2 9, Dd1 7 and Dd2 she'll be 1 1/2

I've been lurking on this Christmas section for the last couple of weeks. Nice to see so many other fellow Christmas planners All my friends and family think I'm bonkers and tell me to shush if I try to discuss anything festive related But it's okay now, I am among my people here...

Couple of things I've bought this week, might be of use to someone:

For those of you who are interested in Amazon Prime, you do know you can get a month's free trial right? You must remember to cancel it before the month is up though as they automatically take the payment in full if you don't. Plus... ... if you have more than one email address there's nothing to stop you doing more than one trial
