Bargain thread 4: the one where we all await our Molton Brown orders

[Reastie]

As ever links etc is are in message two in the thread. Apologies if I've missed anything good out, please do let me know and alert me to anything not working or expiring

My gosh I want someone who likes unicorns to buy for now! Might have to make it 1yo ds's new 'favourite' animal...

Thanks LovelyWeather!

If anyone is in the west of Scotland I just bought 2 Benefit lipglosses (Dandelion and Bella Bamba) for £6.99 each instead of £19.99, and a set of 3 Clarins lipglosses for £9.99 from Watt Brothers. Annoyingly they don't do online shopping. I may have also bought myself a sparkly Christmas jumper after swearing I would not become that person...

Ooh my dd asked for a unicorn last Christmas. She didn't get one . This year I have bought the pink one from build a bear and it's fab!!!

BHS have already reduced some of their gift wrap

The unicorn step in outfit is lovely, I got DD it last year and she wears it all the time. It has wings too so she pretends she is Princess Celestia from MLP

Ill report back on what the lights are like when ive bought some batteries :D

Anyone with girls?

I popped to Boots this morning and their 3 for 2 was excellent. I got the following for about £40.

• bubble bath set for 8yo
• 2 x doodle pencil cases
• 2 x purses
• 2 x packs of scented pens
• body spray set of 4
• bath fizzers
• 3 x choc coins
• 3 x Sanctuary votive candles (perfect teacher gifts)

If anyone is after Toot Toot stuff, I've just been to Wilkos and found the large interactive car carrier for £20 for DS2. The cheapest I've seen it elsewhere is £25 so a nice little saving.

They also had individual Toot Toot vehicles for £4.50 rather than the usual £6-7.

OOooh my Boden parcel just arrived.

Sadly I have also checked my bank balance and may have to curtail my Christmas shopping for a bit until my student loan goes in but I can't remember the payment schedule

Oddly the boys sizes appear to be bigger than the girl ones. I got dd a top from the girls range and one from the boys (she likes mammoths) and there is a considerable difference in size. I've never bought any of their tops for boys before, got a couple for ds1 too and they are huge! Oh well, they'll grow.

Panic over, remembered put student loan in my savings account

I got some other bargains when I was out shopping today - but not sure if anyone can face actual real live shops!

Beautiful scarf in nice packaging for £5- colours are much nicer IRL (bright teal and vibrant purple/pink)

Mini wooden bead activity stand for £2 - good stocking filler for baby

Tree Foo Tom 14" plush figure for £1 from Poundland - same as this one at £14.99

Also from Poundland I got a Hotwheels Batman car and some Transformers Construct-bots as stocking fillers

Oooh, didn't know Wilco was online - thanks. Anyone got any top tips for buying BMXs?

super I (well dd3) has that unicorn pillow pet and it's good. I find that one of the colours isn't all that strong (green, perhaps) and it needs a dark room but it does work and it is effective.

Does anyone else's Molton Brown orders still say pending in Paypal? I made 3 orders, one came today but no sign or confirmation of the others.

MooseyMoo Thank you so much for the Boden live chat tip - I've just been on and got a £10 credit as I didn't get a voucher either. Gorgeous 40% off jumper for DD now ordered plus cheap swimsuit and leggings for next summer!

Scrap that, I do have confirmation but still says pending in paypal. Hope they don't cancel!

I've just been into the Tesco Extra near my work and they had Tattinger Brut Champagne in boxes reduced from ?36.99 to ?18.50 - weirdly on-line it only seems to be reduced to ?26.99.

They also had Krug champagen reduced from ?130 to ?70 - but even with that reduction it didn't qualify as a bargain to me!

Me too NoManJan. I placed 3 orders. My baubles arrived today but nothing, not even a confirmation email from MB.

Itsonly I find your posts really useful

8p leggings?! Love it!

My Amazon ordered jigsaw puzzle arrived today (think it was £5.75) and I spotted pretty much the same one only a bit smaller (but same number of pieces) of the same picture in pound Land! Thought I'd take a photo to compare box sizes. Seems a great bargain for £1 so that's another present ticked off the list.

Oh glen glad to know I'm not alone. Have all your baubles arrived now?

Thanks for this thread
I can't get the build a bear code to go through

Ooh, I'm so worried about my 5 MB orders, I want them all! Also going to trek to the city on Sat & hope to get click & collect & actually buy the good housekeeping mag & use the voucher, would love someone else to get all their orders! Off to home & bargain tomorrow so fx for more bargains!

My MB is still pending in PP as well. Ive had confirmation email but no dispatch
