Christmas bargain present ideas thread 2: the one with a baby chips?

[Reastie]

Hello all,

Hopefully the second message on the thread will contain a list of potentially useful links. I haven't checked through all of last years useful links so if I've missed any good ones please let me know and I'll amend.

I'll do my best to keep it updated with each new thread.

DD was watching some kind of Disney Christmas cartoon this morning so I'm feeling rather festive today :)

Neddle my husband told me off for wasting a £1, he then took them upstairs and tried them out on the blackboard decal in our son's room. He came down and ate his words. He is talking about buying blackballed paint for the kitchen he likes them so much. Much thanks.

Shh! I've just ordered another pack but I don't know who for yet!

I may try decorating our new van with them

I've given in to the chalk pens. I've got prime so got £1 back for choosing normal delivery. This week I've bought the adult colouring book and the chalk pens on Amazon, paid them £1 and got £2 back in credit.

I am very happy.

poop thanks for the Cayla tip off !

Please can someone tell me about the chalk pens ?

Thank you so much for the build a bear code - I went halves with a friend, so received a gorgeous my little pony for £12!

Love this thread I just ordered the chalk pens! I have to admit I have almost finished my Christmas shopping!! My bargains include pack of 6 Ciate nail varnish for £4 reduced to clear in boots and Peppa Pig scooter in Asda for £10 in the sale. I bought a few things earlier on from Argos and have noticed the 3 for 2 isn't that much of a bargain as the basic prices have been increased so do still shop around! :)

Seen loads of goodies the past few days...

T Shirts on Amazon Starting from just 22p - lots of sizes & colours
Not all of them are 22p, most of them are around the 1 to 3 pound mark, but they are free delivery (no minimum spend) and all still a great bargain.

You can get 25% off Lego sets at the Entertainer in their "secret Sale" using the voucher code: LEGOSALE.
PLUS - their "Penny Sale" (Buy one get aone for a penny) is ending very soon- on Wednesday 30th September - so get a move on if you want to take advantage and get some bits in for Christmas.

Argos 3 for 2 must be popular - apparently the whole site crashed earlier today. Haven't really had a proper look myself yet, but there are usually good offers in there.

Wilko Christmas Shop is open and pretty good for bargain decorations etc and prezzies as well

Groupon have a Christmas come Early section too, but thre are some weird items on there. Wouldn't call some of them Christmassy at all, but maybe that's just me :)

Tesco Direct Christmas shop is also live and filling up with bargains :)

ebay wow deals are back this weekend. There's lots of offers from the ebay outlets of highstreet shops - and the Argos 3 for 2 stuff is on there too

If anyone is - or knows someone who is - a student, then there are lots of special offers on Amazon. New and existing Amazon Student members will also get an extra £5 off with Promo Code STUDENT5 Amazon Student Deals Week

There are quite a lot of monster high dolls reduced on Amazon and also some of the bratz (I think) glow in the dark beach dolls.

Amazon have the vtech kidizoom camera duo for 36.99 down from 49.99. Pink or blue www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00UX9PNSM/ref=pb_pd_lutyp_mr_1_2?pi=SS115

Got another goodie - LEGO DUPLO Number Train More than a third off at Amazon
Plus free delivery as an add on item if you're getting something else.

Something - maybe too late but you can never go wrong with cars/trucks/tractors for small boys
DS2 is 20mo and now deeply into the "TAK-TAR!!!!" Phase - basically anything with wheels will do - lights, noises, pull back and go functions all good too.

Swimshop.co.uk have a Zoggs flash sale - 15% off for three days only. Code is: ZOGGS15
I have bought pool toys from them before which went down well as presents.

Can't find the chalk pens - have I missed them?

Playmobil my secret police box down to £11.67 at Amazon. DTS doesn't need any more presents but with price drops like that what am I to do?!?!

joycey look for neddles post from 21:something last night

Hi lovely ladies, anyone know much about Baker Ross (crafty site)...looking to order quite a few things but wondered if anyone knew if there are often discount codes floating around? Signed up to their mailing list which gives £5 off, but hoping for something a bit chunkier! This fab thread makes me even more keen for a bargain! Tia

insomnia unless it's something urgent you need wait a bit - they regularly have 15% off everything sales (excluding sales stuff) but you can't stack codes with them so you have to figure out which deal is better. I use them all the time for craft stuff and their stuff is good quality. They're the same company as yellow moon - same stuff although baker Ross more aimed at schools and groups like brownies etc (no reason why you can't shop there though). Oh and don't forget cash back through quidco.

Ordered the chalk pens. Not sure whether to give them to Ds or someone else b

Thanks to all for links. Have just bought the lego princess set and also the chalk pens. It's a dangerous business this MNing. :)

Thanks v much scrappy, will hold out for a bit longer!

Ride on little tikes pirate ship - usually around £35. £18 on Amazon.
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004RSGAQY?me=&ref=olp_product_details

Anyone have a link to those photo blankets?

Yesterday Tesco had Robofish reduced from £10 to £4 which make a nice stocking filler.
The Book People discount code "TREE" gets you 15% off selected categories which includes childrens. The discount drops to 12% tomorrow and 10% on Monday. I've just used it for a few items that were sitting in my wishlist waiting for a discount.

Thank you chocolate
