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

Lucy - IKEA does some cheap large frames about that size for around £6 I think.

Just had an email from Best Years - www.bestyears.co.uk - they have £10 off some crochet animal toys and apparently are going to have different offers on every couple of weeks in run up to Xmas so may be worth registering.
I bought my nephew a knitted dinosaur from them last year and it is has become his constant friend and companion. Wondering if we should get a 2nd one in case it goes missing - could be a disaster!

Disney Store has buy one get one free on selected DVDs and Blurays - got Sleeping Beauty and Snow White for £9.99!

Disney DVD's are also buy one get one free on Zavvi, and standard delivery is free.

Has anyone managed to use the Hawkins Bazaar code 'ACORNTEN' for 10% off? It should still be valid as its emblazoned all over the page when I go to look at my basket, but whenever I input it, it just says it's invalid. I refuse to buy my basket full of stuff without my 10%off!

Spoken like a true bargain hunter Scarlett

Thanks for the tips folks-dc have recently started playing with playmobil again (nearly 6 & 2) so thinking of a joint big playmobil pressie now, any big recs appreciated. Lambfan- that site is full of lovely stuff, I want to get a crochet doll for dd but can't see what is £10 off. Will have a rummage but love the humpty dumpy too. Am also getting the Melissa & Doug advent calendar-you can't have too many right?!

Speaking of ikea - does anyone know when they usually get their Christmas stuff in please? Hoping to make my annual trip for yummy Christmas food and cute decorations before I get too pregnant to bother!

Lamb and evelyn crochet toys are really easy to make if your in any way crafty. I learnt last year from watching vids on YouTube. Made a giraffe and a dragon using pound shop wool. Cost me about £5 all together with wool and stuffing (which I still have 3/4 of a bag left). I often wonder about making them to sell.

I'm sure I read on the Christmas thread about when Christmas stuff arrives that the Ikea stuff is in. I think there were photos someone had taken too. Maybe an earlier one of these threads??

tiredoftiredness last year IKEAs wrapping paper, decorations etc were in around Halloween. I was there picking up stuff for a birthday party and came away with a lot more than I popped in for. I picked up a few packs of Christmas themed gift bags - they were like paper treat bags - weren't dear and were the hit of last year. Everyone that got one commented on them, especially good for smaller, fiddly, hard to wrap stuff. I used them for all of my 3 kids teacher presents. I'm not a natural wrapper

tired I was at IKEA today and they were just putting Christmas lights and decorations out AND I SAW THE RED GOATS!!! They also had the gingerbread houses, hanging gingerbread biscuits and gingerbread slotting 3D trees to decorate.

Binglet- do it & send us the eBay/shop link-copies of all those lovely ones please! I thought someone said ikea Christmas stuff was in-there was chat of the gingerbread house at £2.75 I think, of course I could just be dreaming about Christmas shopping by now!

I think this is the matalan code G6C8M22

It's 20% off minimum spend £30. Doesn't include sale

Hope it's ok to mark my place.

evelynj - just checked and it is tiger, otter, gecko and elephant - they are usually £24 and now £14. I agree, they are lovely. I love the cowboy & mermaid dolls. Binglet - maybe when I am retired and have time on my hands I may learn to crochet - but if I set out to learn now, I would be lucky to be able to have a gift ready by Christmas 2017 judging by past history. I bought a knitting magazine which included patterns, wool, knitting needles, etc and managed one arm of a teddy - that was about 5 years ago and it is still in the bag. One day ....

Hi, new to this thread but used last year's and it was fab!

So this Molton Brown code. Can someone advise me on the best way to max out/get the most out of the £15 off a £30 spend please? Would it the shower gel baubles?

And something to share...code for additional 20% off Boden sales prices plus free delivery and returns: A2G2. Act quickly if you want to use this as it might get pulled. I've just used it and sorted all of my Christmas presents for kids I know, plus my DS and upcoming birthdays. Yay!

EvelynJ.. I've just ordered the Playmobil Church Wedding for my kids.. Looks really lovely.
