I don't know why I get excited about Argos - they are masters of the out of stock item, why not just take it off the website? Trying to get paw patrol vehicles for ds, no luck.
25% off women's clothes at BHS today might be worth a look, and Sports Direct have running clothes which could please someone.

Asda have got a set of three disney dolls (barbie size) Aurora, Belle and Ariel with three outfits for each doll for just £30. It's a lovely set, the Ariel doll comes with the removable tail too and one of her outfits is the one she wears in the 'kiss the girl' song which I've never seen sold before. My dd would've loved it but she already has an ariel and aurora so I don't think I could justify buying these. It's a really good price though for a lovely set and I was sooo tempted.

If anyone's looking for INside Out toys, I found this set of five on Amazon for £10 off, but there's only 7 sets left (after I bought one each for dd and my niece!)

neddle · 03/11/2015 22:54

And Skylanders starter sets are around £30 from Tesco (can use boost vouchers) and price matched on Amazon.

Scaredycat3000 · 03/11/2015 23:41

Those inside out toys are just a little cheaper on Ali £12.50 and posted within 5 days should arrive with plenty of time to spare panic and get something else .

My Lost name book arrived today. Just beautiful so thank you all for the idea and I can't remember who's code I used but thanks!

spaghettiarms - the gin and tonic crisps were interesting... Not a whole lot of gin flavour and not really salty when compared with most crisps.

If I'd had to guess a flavour I'd have gone for a generic citrus - not identifiably lemon or orange or grapefruit, but a definite hit of sharp/sour rather than salt when you eat them.

Dmum (who loves gin and tonic) wasn't that impressed with them. DH (who is more of a beer and red wine drinker) realised that he'd enjoyed them so much he'd been munching through the rest of the packet and suddenly it was empty Grin

Not my favourite flavour by a long shot but interesting to try. And could be quite interesting to have depending on other nibbles or food you have to go with them at the same time...

Now wondering if anybody is going to be doing some festive potato wine to go with all the alcoholic crisps Xmas Grin

Hoping that somebody will come up with some baileys quavers or whiskey hulahoops to complete the set to go with my m&s prosecco crisps!

Somebody was wanting detective dvds for their - aunt (I think) - Have you considered the Inspector Montalbano (or young montalbano) ones?

My aunt adores them - they are italian but have been dubbed I think and they have beautiful Italian/Sicilian scenery to watch as the grusome crime takes place... dh also rates them very highly!

Has Argos 3 for 2 not started yet?? Or is it me?

outputgap · 04/11/2015 02:06

No, I can't see anything about 3 for 2 either. Sad

SparePantsAndLego · 04/11/2015 06:37

Just popping back to thank PP who suggested Gotrovo and gave the 40% code. I've ordered it and it'll be perfect for DS.

Iggi999 · 04/11/2015 06:39

Gap has 40% off "new collection", whatever that includes, with code PQKP736N478W

mummy23kiddies · 04/11/2015 06:47

Just saw on another site someone said argos 3 for 2 is Friday not sure where they got info from tho doesn't say

curriegirl · 04/11/2015 07:11

QVC has a candle bundle today from Prices. just under £20. A bit of P&P but would make a candle and pack of t lights at under £5 per person. Good for teachers may be?

curriegirl · 04/11/2015 07:12

Sorry. Candle link

RJnomaaaaaargh · 04/11/2015 07:32

No sign of the Argos offer.

The 2 for £2 selection boxes is live at morrisons however. It's the medium Cadbury or nestle ones. Also includes advent calendars if you're needing them.

yaffle · 04/11/2015 07:38

Apparently the Argos 3 for 2 is now starting on Friday to coincide with their pre-Black Friday , Friday offers they're doing . Not sure how accurate that is but that was according to an Argos staff member on BB4BM facebook page .

The Book People are doing 20% off of hand-picked favourites for today's Xmas market offer , Boden have 25% off with code X8X8 until Thursday .

Petal7 · 04/11/2015 07:41

Thanks, Iwanttobeadog - will investigate.

gruffaloshmuffalo · 04/11/2015 07:52

I've done one set of people for Christmas, just another million to go...

I'm looking for something for girls who are 14, 10,and 3. And a boy who is 12. The only one of the kids I have seen this year is the 3 year old.

Any ideas?

House of Fraser do sets like this plus flower pressing and others for 5 pound maybe idea for older girls :-)

MissRainbowBrite · 04/11/2015 09:10

20% off at M&S until midnight tomorrow, no code needed. Not sure if it will let you include the 3 for 2 but worth a try. Also, they have lowered the free delivery to £30.
