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

itcouldbeworse i think Anorak do 15% off with new newsletter sign ups!

That magnetic easel looks great Haud think I'm going to get one

Style B is £30 reduced to £13.95 - a little more but from a higher price go begin with

Paw Patrol Pup Racer £10.99 from £19.99
Seagull Splat 1/2 price £9.99
Hot wheels star wars £1.99 from £5.99
mine craft box heads £3.99 from £9.99
Minecraft Paper craft over world pack £12.49 from £19.99
All Argos

lots of sticker books reduced to 99p

For all the paw patrol searchers - the paw patrol busy book is worth a look. Think its usually about £5 in Asda. Has all the pup figures in (except Everest) but they are quite small for true littlies but my 3 year old plays well with them. Not a bargain in the sense of money off but a bargain compared to the rest of the range.

Actually the busy books are also good for my little pony as you get lots of figures. Frozen is also in the range (and possibly TNMT). A great tip I got from last years thread - so much cheaper than buying them individually.

Pirate Jigsaw £2.77

paw patrol girls pink pjs £3.40 18 months

And because we all know someone that loves unicorns!

slippers £5.15

Great idea re Paw Patrol. I got the Frozen one because it was a good way of getting the figures but didn't think to look for PP.

Sorry I don't have any bargains to share yet but I'm putting together my kids wishlists so I can add them to camelcamelcamel and I wondered if anyone could give me some advice. I saw blopens on amazon and they look like the kind of thing my DD would love - does anyone have any? Are they any good? Also I picked up the playmobil hotel really cheaply after xmas and was thinking about getting a pool to go with it but there are loads of different versions now. Are they all good? Some have big slides and showers and I wasn't sure how well they worked or if they fall apart - we've never had any problems with playmobil in the past but these look a bit fiddly.

Totally place marking

I'm usuallu back from my hols when I join these threads but I'm going later this year.

Let the countdown begin!!

backinschool we have the playmobil pool with a shower and yellow twisty slide and it's actually really sturdy and not fiddly at all.

Thanks Haudyerwheesht, that's really good to know (love the name btw)

feelingsmurfy I have two open mn pages on my phone.. This one and the usual talk topics page.. I can get to it even quicker then lol

Poppies I have left it open too

backinschool we got DD blopens last Christmas and has fun using them.
Can be used with or without the stencils.
I'd say they're worth buying.

Thanks featherpillow - I'll add them to the list.

I got the paw patrol soft plush from Ali express last year and they are great. We have the playmobil pool with the blue slide, shower and squirty whale and its played with constantly.

Those looking for magiclip dolls, the aliexpress ones are a bit off as someone has mentioned above. But the main thing is they are not making them anymore, they have been replaced with the little kingdom dolls which are the same size so if you have lots of the dresses they can wear them but the little kingdom dolls have rubber snap in dresses IYSWIM? so if you see anything magiclip get it!!

If anyone sees a good deal a balance bike I would be grateful! I missed out on John Lewis one - gutted

Another vote for Playmobil pool with blue slide, shower and squirty whale. My DC love it and all visitors head straight for it (generally children!)

Thanks nickdrakeslovechild and Petal7, its good to know that either pool would be good. I can watch out for a deal on either one. I love the whale pool but it's out of stock in a few places so its good to have options.

Following with excitement!

Amazon have some cheap cheap wooden baby toys, will do for DS who will be 11 months and oblivious

Another vote for Playmobil pool with blue slide, shower and squirty whale. My DC love it and all visitors head straight for it (generally children!)

Oops - over enthusiastic double Playmobil pool posting. (but it is great)

We also have the whale playmobil pool and it's played with loads. Camper van and camp site are great too.
Blo pens are great but can be a bit messy. We've got quite a lot and the best ones are the scented ones. Pick up a selection of cheap stencils too and they are a great present. Can also recommend colour stackers , colour change and wipe out pens (got ours from Hamleys) Can do great colouring with them and all their friends make a bee line for them when they're over
