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

It's gone worth putting it on camelcamelcamel for when it price drops again

Amazing thread! Thanks everyone (shamelessly place marking)

This is very good quality and half price

Ok never mind, still have 4.5 months to go, hopefully it will pop up agai

I felt my heart quicken when I saw this thread! This thread and Strictly Come Dancing symbolise the start of the Christmas countdown for me!
Thank you so much Reastie and Chips for getting the party started!

My first bargains just arrived. Two storm trooper watches and loads of captain America sticker packs. Now to get everything hidden!!

Sorry can't remember name of poster with 8 month old but our DS has adored his micro scooter with the seat and used it from 11 months. It meant we could walk quite far and he would fly alongside. It is my number 1 buy

If anyone wants to sign up to quidco give me a shout and i will send my referal code. Mine is set to £2 to me 50p to you and i presume thats once a purchase has been made

Lunar - where were watches and stickers from ds1 would love both :) thanks

Admit it, who came straight here when they logged on this morning? first page I check

I am looking for stickers, as many as possible for as cheap as possible doesn't matter too much what they are as long as they suitable for under 6

I fill shoeboxes every year and like to use them to decorate plain notebooks (cheaper) and put some in the boxes to be used by the children, and I have a nephew who will happily sit quietly for an hour if given a set of stickers at the moment

They were from the John Lewis sale. Really pleased with them.

They are the stickers and watch, fab bargains.

I'm looking for a plastic wendyhouse for DS2 who will be 2 and a half at Christmas, hoping it will also last for DC3 due just after xmas, so a good few years. We had the one in the picture for DS1 but he got frustrated that the door never closed properly. Ideally want to spend around £100 or less. Would like it to be quite large too.

Any other ideas of things I can get DS2 that will last for DC3 too would be great.

I love this thread, it has helped me loads over the past few years, I'm a regular lurker but thought I'd say hello this year. My 3 dc all have winter birthdays so bargain hunting is a must!

I'm looking out for a football goal or similar this year for ds

Checking in
Aldi have large bubble wands for 79p each. They have finding dory/Thomas the tank engine/peppa pig.

FeelingSmurfy - still need deas for 5/6 year old boys? How about a JointPaint your own Tee Pee from Hobbycraft? it's £35 but you can often get 15% discount codes signing up to their newsletter and there is 3-6% cashback from TCB.

Thanks for the lego star wars watch link - first thing got for DS. They have a few other designs for slightly more at 9 pounds each.

As usual, character.com have some good deals on PJs and tees etc.

There are the bits that came from John Lewis this morning. Got two of each for my two. Plus a few watches extra for school party birthday presents!

Anyone who a dream wooden toy love but has the budget of a normal person then I have found a cheap version of the Grimms rainbow from China ordered last week so waiting g for it to arrive from measurements iits between medium and large bigger than medium but samre amount piece's you watch it will be like the Olaf from couple yrs back that was not 10" but 10cm if that must have been a man with issues a bout sz listing them :)

Oh, while I'm here - anyone who loves islabikes but balks at the price, they have warnings on their website that the price of the cnoc and beinn bikes is going up after August the 15th, how much I don't know.

I also saw advice on a preloved islabikes fb group to ring the store and ask about any discounted bikes they may have (eg, dented boxes, seconds, trade ins etc) regularly. They go for so much second hand (even old ones!) that a seconded bike would cost similar to a second hand one anyway!
