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

Merry Christmas, one and all! [santa]

Anyone else get a MB bauble??? I opened one of my gifts and lo and behold... DH couldn't understand why I was laughing

Kat3L · 25/12/2015 20:36

Yes Goosey, I got one from one of the people I gave one to so now need to work out if she's a mumsnetter!

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 25/12/2015 20:39

Merry Christmas all.

The Tssimo machine and Minecraft Blockopedia were massive bargain thread inspired hits today!

MaryMagdelene · 25/12/2015 22:44

Well my husband took one looks the 'the slippers' and refused to put them on his feet :) thanks to everyone for the bargains though. Happy Christmas x

FabFlo · 25/12/2015 23:27

Very happy DC today thanks for all the bargains.

littlesaintnickdrakeslovechild · 26/12/2015 08:41

for the poster who linked the Paw patrol plush on ebay, my DD loves it.

Strawberryfield12 · 26/12/2015 09:16

Bit late merry Christmas! Hope everybody enjoyed their presents! DH was very impressed with the infamous 'Jaeger shits'!

itsonlysubterfuge · 26/12/2015 10:01

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Neeko · 26/12/2015 10:53

All bargains well received here. Had a lovely day. Belated merry Christmas to you all.

Hadiever · 26/12/2015 11:04

Thank you for all the bargains posted. Hope you all had a great Christmas

I popped to sainsburys for some juice and returned with batman Lego torches for £2, Lego watches for £4 and luxury Christmas cards for 40p!

backinschool · 26/12/2015 14:35

I need some cheap aquabead refills or small sets. DD1 got a starter set for xmas from the ILs and she has used almost all the beads already. It has been a HUGE hit with her and her sister. The refills are just £4.99 from amazon but after a couple of months on this thread I cant but anything full priced

Thanks again Reastie. DDs were very very pleased with all their bargain gifts.

trixymalixy · 26/12/2015 15:32

Merry Christmas everyone! If anyone sees a good deal on a babyliss curl secret could they let me know please!

I bought my first Christmas 2016 present the other day - Wentworth Puzzles have a sale on. I was really pleased to see the Kandinsky one I've had my eye on was included, so I've ordered it :o

I'm hoping for the Christmassy Lego to be reduced soon. I was gutted last year - ordered the Santa's Workshop one, and it went through and everything, only for me to get a phonecall saying oh sorry we made a mistake it's being retired. Only for it to magically reappear a couple of months ago at full price.

OhHolyFuck · 26/12/2015 16:25

I've started a swap thread too, just in case something you got was hideous wasn't quite to your taste...

NowBringUsSomeFuzzpiggyPudding · 26/12/2015 16:31

Fab. There weren't any bad presents :o but a few things we have amassed as duplicates etc which I never got round to selling before Christmas. Would be easier to swap!

NowBringUsSomeFuzzpiggyPudding · 26/12/2015 16:35

Oh and I may have just bought the DCs' Santa present for next year too. Quadrilla Autobahn marble run on Lightning Deals here - have been lusting after this for years, and I've just thought, fuck it. They really don't need anymore Playmobil I said that this year too and ended up getting the playground for £11 thanks to this thread! which is usually what Santa leaves - but the marble run will certainly have the same wow factor. DCs will be 9 and 7 next Christmas so I feel I'm slightly running out of years to give it to them!

Plus, I can't wait to play with it myself.

SisterMoonshine · 26/12/2015 18:42

Thank you Reastie and everyone!
My DCs are having a lovely time with the bargain presents found mostly with your help: the little lights for the bicycle wheel valves, the iPad airbrush kit etc. (and me with my bargain price Baileys )
I hope you are all having a lovely time.
Thanks again

woodwaj · 26/12/2015 18:54

ohholyfuck can you link the swap thread
