That quote tickled me after a poster asked for a bargainous parachute Xmas Grin

Look at posts 2 and 3 for links and quotes

Thanksfor areas tie for the new thread.
I'd love an M&S code too, I thought they might do one more 20% before Christmas but it's looking a bit unlikely now. Does anyone have any inside info?

MissRainbowBrite · 07/12/2015 16:37

Sorry, that should say Reastie

The Doctor Who lego is much cheaper from the Lego site direct than from amazon.

Has anyone got any ideas that aren't clothes or books for a bookish 10 year old girl? She's all Minecraft'd out and has just had a birthday so doesn't 'need' anything.

AttitcusFinchIsMyFather · 07/12/2015 17:01

Poosey, nice, fun stationary? Paperchase have some lovely stuff in.

Ive seen a link on Savvy saver uk on facebook saying that Sparkle cardholders can use the link to get 20% off today only.
when i use the link it not showing any discount. Its driving me spare!

I really need a neutral throw for my really fussy gran.

It will need to be delivered to her directly.

La redoute- I had to phone customer services to put my order in and they accepted the code that was about 1:30 this s afternoon

Rakuten.co.uk (the old play.com that's been taken over and renamed over the last couple of years) has currently got a sale on. Plus if you use the code XMAS10 there's an extra 10% off.

And if you use them regularly then there's lots of extra bonus points on their loyalty thingy.

Think it's valid until the 9th December.

Not sure if they're much cheaper than Amazon any more but for example they've got a set of 3 sandisk jolly coloured cruzer memory sticks for £11.99 which is the same as Amazon and then you get the 10% off so a bit of a saving if you need that sort of thing.

They also have flip tshirts which can be quite funny presents for hard to buy for boys/lads - tshirts that have 'ask me about my trex/gaming/alien/gorlla/ninja/etc on the front - and then if anyone does, they have an image printed on the inside that if you pull the tshirt up over their heads then acts like a mask of a trex/pac man/alien/gorilla/ninja etc - kids ones on rakuten are £7.99 minus the 10% currently.

I got an email from M&S, as a Sparks card holder, and there was a code on there to copy across when you clicked on the link

Angry just had an email to say my hover balls have been cancelled. Need to find presents for a 9 year old and 4 year old again now.

allisbrightandshiney · 07/12/2015 18:10

Thanks to the La Redoute OP Flowers. I finally got the code to work and saved £200!!

neddle · 07/12/2015 18:12

Slumber Buddies half price - there's a frog, bee and butterfly at £12-49 and some others a little higher.

Freezingwinter · 07/12/2015 18:13

The Christmaa That's not my... Books are only £3 in Sainsburys. Mine had Snowman, fairy, donkey and penguin.

ShebaQueen · 07/12/2015 18:23

Me too re Hoverballs Voldemort, they were too good to be true!

RoastieToastieReastie · 07/12/2015 18:41

Oh, and just to test your hunting skills, also looking for book of mazes (the puzzle sort where you follow the maze from one end to another) as cheaply as possible. Small is fine as it's a party bag thing but I can't find any less than £2 each and was hoping for a set with loads of really cheap ones.

VoldemortsBaubles · 07/12/2015 18:50

I didn't even want a hover ball before that offer and now I think they're perfect. I wouldn't mind, but you'll be able to get them for about £3 next Christmas.

Superdrug had Lynx gift sets in for £2.50. Loads of different fragrances. They contain a deodorant and shower gel. Ideal stocking fillers for most teenager boys.

woodwaj · 07/12/2015 19:12

Thanks for the La Redoute code I just got 3 skirts and a jumper for £19. Some of the things had been in my basket for a while! Xmas Grin

I also passed on my M&S code and it worked as I wouldn't need it. So codes aren't personal

YaMasYaDaWithAWigOn · 07/12/2015 19:18

Picked up an unofficial Minecraft hints and tips book with 2016 on the front (like an annual) from Pound world. Asda has the same book for £4

babsmam · 07/12/2015 19:21

Fab title Xmas Smile

MaryMagdelene · 07/12/2015 19:29

I've just placed an order on Amazon and it says the delivery date is 24th Dec - 30th Dec!!! I'm just wondering if there's any chance of getting it sooner or should I just cancel and order somewhere else? Do they tend to stick to the dates?

Also if anyone would like £10 off at flavourly they can use my code flavourly.com/ELAINEMXK and I'll get £5 credit.

Thanks for all the bargains so far. I'm done apart from stocking fillers!!

Jenni2legs · 07/12/2015 19:33

Don't know if it's been shared on earlier threads, but Superdrug's tubes of facemasks are 3 for £2.50 (or £2.59 each)

www.superdrug.com/search?q=%3aname-asc%3asuperdrugGeneralPromotionText%3a3+for+%C2%A32.50+on+selected+Superdrug+Face+Masks

Excellent stocking fillers alongside the new toothbrushes and paste I put in ours (huge stockings!)

Neeko · 07/12/2015 20:07

Just marking place. Thanks for new thread. Thanks

Eva50 · 07/12/2015 20:21

Thank you for the code woodwaj, that's me finished apart from "supermarket" bits i.e. shower gel, sweets etc and something for the dc's violin teacher.

snappydragon1 · 07/12/2015 20:42

Did anyone get the La Redoute code to work without phoning up? Phones aren't being answered at the moment.
