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

Thanks so much for the scalextric tips! Hadn't considered a remote controlled car as alternative. Going to take a look at them all now

My peppa pig rocket arrived, it's brilliant.

I'm looking for a pencil case for dd(4). Something not too big, with a zip, and personalised either with a name or initial. Wanting to spend less than £5-6 if possible!

Half way through already, I wonder if we can eat last year's record for thread numbers although I have no idea how ,any we got through

Smyths have up to 25% off Fisher Price

Banoffee thanks for the Studio link with the personalised Christmas decorations. I really liked them, so I tried to order them and a bunch of other stuff but when I tried to register as a new account my basket emptied as if by magic . I then went back and filled my basket again and again tried to order and again the basket contents disappeared. I order a lot on-line so I don't think I was doing anything wrong? Any suggestions?
I couldn't face having to search for all the things I wanted again so that I could order over the phone and when I tried to call the customer services I was left hanging on the phone for ages, until I gave up, - I've sent an e-mail to complain.
On the upside I have saved myself a considerable amount of money by not buying the stuff I wanted

Sorry itmustbemyage no suggestions though the site was a little temperamental!!

NotPennysBoat what about Personalised pencil case £4.99 with free delivery using code 057

Thinking back itmustbemyage I'm pretty sure I had to refill my basket after registering

I was in Lakeland today and if there are any Star Wars fans out there or parties on the horizon then they had star wars cake toms and cookie cutters from £2-5
Thought they looked ace but had spent up by that point!

Thanks Banoffee I'm glad it wasn't just me! I have had a reply to my e-mail asking me lots of technical questions (implying my computer was at fault - it's a work one so it's fine) and suggesting I order over the phone, I'll think about it overnight and see if I still really like the stuff enough to persist but I'm still appreciative of your link.

I got this KNEX nerf type gun for £7.50 in store at Sainsburys earlier. it's got reviews on Amazon.

Link is Ocado, as I can't find it on sainsbo online!

I wouldn't recommend Studio at all - I've never actually had anything delivered from them, despite placing 3 orders.

The last time, as pp, I couldn't get the site to work so ordered over the telephone. 3 personalised items, which had to be done separately.

3 weeks later, I got a letter regarding my account, that the items were out of stock. Funny how the lady didn't mention it on the phone for any of the 3 items I individually ordered! I've washed my hands of them, which is a shame because they do nice products. I just can't be doing with the hassle!

I managed to spend enough to get free delivery on the allthingsbrightonbeautiful site- thanks banoffee!

A few silly wee bits that I've found on Amazon:

Cheaper version of Pie Face Splat Game - £5.99

Pretty scarfs from £1.40

Swear tin or fart tin for £2.99 as an Amazon 'add on'.

Christmas Monopoly I'm keeping an eye out for the price dropping, as it's currently £26.95

The monopoly was £14.29 in April according to camelcamelcamel so well worth setting a price alert.
