The Christmas bargain thread 1 - the one with no name

[RoastieToastieReastie]

I couldn't think of a name for the thread.

Hopefully links in message two work. Thanks to chips with helping me ok so she basically did it compile the initial list.

Here's to Christmas 2016

If I can find the picture I'll put it on here

I've got loads of pokemon stuff off aliexpress in the past few months. All arrived promptly and I've been very pleased with almost everything.

Lego/nanoblock type things:

36 mini pokeballs with stickers and mini figure inside. The quality of these was pretty poor, but my son didn't mind at all. Could be good for advent calendars? Only 8 quid.

Got these today, very pleased with them, 50 little figures you can pop on your fingers. £13 delivered

I have more if anyone's interested yes, I have got carried away!

Here we go

Chips that's hilarious.

He spent ages trying till I took it off him.

After I kept removing it from his head

Aw, that's so cute! Bless poor ChipCat.

FireflyCats are also dicks who sleep everywhere except the expensive bed/radiator bed/fecking great cat tower that takes up half the living room and cost a small fortune but was 'worth it' so they had somewhere to escape the toddler

I bought the bed for DSis' dog

I am now considering ordering a strawberry bed for Chucky. He's a giant and it would be worth it for the photo. Dreamies may need to be deployed.

Love the photo!

PP who, mentioned someone that liked gin, how about a little hamper with a teeny tiny bottle, candle, Joe&Sephs do gin and tonic popcorn...

Chips that made me spit out my magnum!poor bloody sideofchipspuss!

Awoofcat (amiaow?)Is also a bit of a twat but also deploys a 'if it fits I sits' policy do I am silently hopeful

Drinks by the Dram do taster sets of gin, I've bought them for gifts on Amazon. They do whisky and rum too.

I think everyone else has given some good ideas for gin. If not I'm happy to look further

Ha! That cat snap is classic.

My aliexpress Pokemon baseball caps arrived today and was really pleased with them. Gave them as gifts already as sure novelty will have worn off with my eldest DH and DS by Christmas but don't mind when they were only about £1.30!

Do you have the link for the hat please? DS is desperate for a Pokemon hat!

Banoffee & smurfy loving the suggestions she loves candles so that could be a big winner - who knew gin candles were a thing

Pedro thank you for all the Pokemon links

Candy love the miniatures and think I will treat her to a few drams

Great links so far....Woo hoo.... roll on Christmas 😆😆😆

Hello!! It's the first 2016 thread!! And nearly half way already (godamn holiday)
I now have a ridiculous number of EB referrals - very happy that lots of people have spotty mugs but I have no use for all the £15 off£75 full price spends - if anyone ever can use it please pm me
And my last order is also vv delayed too (too many spotty mugs!) I bet they are watching these threads!!

Just succumbed and bought the shark bed.

I had told myself I wasn't going to start buying so early this year.. As the more bargains I saw last year the more I brought!!
So as I'm refraining ive only brought my mum and myself a Yankee calendar.. I did t even need one of them but now we have one each! Thankyou

Thanks for the cat shark bed link - although I was eyeing up the strawberry bed haha would have been worth ordering it to see my cats trying to maneuver their way in

Any outdoors / scout / guide type people to buy for? There's a sale at millets at moment
