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

Nooooo baby chips can't be nearly one although my baby from Xmas bargain threads in 2014 is 2 in Nov my eldest is 6 in couple weeks time flies by... Baby chips is v v cute :)

Hmm maybe it's my phone it's doing it with them all....

OK, I'm whizzing through gifts here...only problem is that it means I'm whizzing through money too!

Must tell myself that there will be loads more threads full of bargains, save some £ and people to buy for!

Thanks to the poster who introduced me to All Things Brighton Beautiful

Hi all, loving all the bargains, aliexpress is great, have ordered some nice hoodies.!

Was hoping to get my DD a nice wooden kitchen for Christmas this year if anyone has seen any bargains please let me know

Haudyerwheesht I think it might be your phone, all links seem to be working on mine. I love your name btw, my granny used to say this all the time

Banoffee thanks for the All things Brighton beautiful link, some really nice stocking filler ideas.

Reastie I think we have found all the links for the next thread!

McNo This wooden kitchen at Tesco is half price from £150 to £75

That's nice too Rum, thank you.

I'm going to check with her again she definitely wants a kitchen as its early I'm worried about buying a main present and she has changed her mind by Christmas.

IKEA kitchen best present ever here. Played with every single day. I "decorated it up" but DD 2 1/2 adores it!

Awesome thread. I'm determined to buy early this year!

I've just bought a few things today in the Traidcraft sale, so if you know of anyone who might appreciate an ethical/unusual gift it might be of interest.

They have quite a lot on sale, some things still quite expensive, but here are a few bits and bobs:

McNo, we have the ELC retro kitchen. It's about £150 at full price, but always goes down to half price (about what it's worth) at some point. If you have space, it's nice and large, so all the kitchen accesories/ food etc can be stored in it. It's also great for multiple children playing together.

I obviously can't link to this one, but just wanted to mention checking out local independent toy shops for random bargains. I usually consider then too expcensive, but today I bought the large M&D wooden castle for £39.99 in one ear me. That's DS1s main present sorted.

Thank you TKRed and Equimum will check them both out. I like the idea of a large kitchen and we do have the space. I will keep my eye on ELC

Thank you for allthingsbrighton link, sadly the this tshirt folder is out of stock. Anyone seen it this cheap elsewhere?

My baby will be 8 months at Christmas, any suggestions for what I should get him? So excited for our first Christmas as a family I want to start shopping now!

Clothes or balloons in a box. Baby will get loads from other people, go slow this year. First Christmas for my ds1 we just did a stocking, clothes and some board books.

This is gonna be our first Christmas as a little trio. Me and my 2 DC.
I can honestly say I AM SO EXCITED AND CAN NOT WAIT!!
STBXH was always such a moody joy sucker.
I've been planning and prepping already!
Got quite a few pressies stashed away.
Been making scarves and hats for everyone I know with my looms

Ginthief this one is £4.65 but that includes postage and it's plastic rather than cardboard (which the one linked is)

Place marking! Massively lurked last year and it saved me a small fortune.
DD is going to be almost 2 this year so little bits won't cut it!

I've got that t-shirt folder. I've had it for two years according to Amazon it's a good one.

Long shot but has anyone seen a bargain Baby Born I can swim doll? They seem to be about £29 ish.....

gamma What is he showing interest in? I bought summer toys for my ds who was 9 months cozy coupe etc he also has a winter birthday so i had things ready for summer that he would be able to use. My son like things that spin so car wheels, cogs & spinning tops were a massive hit and all quite cheap!
