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 for the thread! So excited to be joining this year last year was my first year and I got loads of my shopping done from this thread.
I have ds2 due in October this year so trying to be super organised.

Iv bought a few things from here:
They have some Christmas books for £1 going out of stock quick though:

Have had lots from the prequel thread already, but this is my first Christmas thread. Baby #2 due in sept so trying to be organised.

Place marking! Last year was my first year with you guys and I loved it!

Bellefleur bike with stabilizers

I bought this for dd2 last year and its lovely!

No more socks is £2.99 so I am using this Manage Christmas - Christmas Gift List Manager by Simon North
appsto.re/gb/FAYgT.i which is free. Seems reasonably easy to use.

Have ordered a few of these...

Also, not a bargain, but I thought worth flagging up, cath kidston are doing a Disney collaboration - collection launches at the end of September...

I saw this in active and went, hang on - there was no "thread 1" yesterday morning - how has it got to 131 posts already!?

Am now off for a little browse to see if there's anything I can get for my purposes - I actually have my old Christmas planner with me to renew in the quiet this morning before the rest of the office arrive!

Morning All. Lakeland have a sale on at the moment, thought these ring ice lolly moulds down to a tenner looked fun.

I am hoping that Molton brown do the bargains again this year, can anyone remember when it was that they did the 50% / 40% off? Pretty much done for the little ones just need a few adult presents.

Oh, just had an email from The Book People, 20% off their hand-picked favourites today only, with SAVE20.

For those new to this thread someone posted on the last thread about Amazon doing 4 sticker and activity books for £10. Just got £24 worth of books for £10.

I'll be on the look out for ugly slippers again this year please, DH could do with some more

Cocoa what is very satisfying is writing the price you paid and also elsewhere the price the item is full price - the difficulty is not buying more as you have saved so much!

Sliding right in to get on with more bargain hunting.

Thanks so much for the prequel thread chips

Thanks for the link to character.com ipswichwitch I have just found some great bargains on pjs and t-shirts (not all of them will make it to Christmas!) Also some football team pjs for my nephew.

Ooh I love this thread!
What better way to distract from morning sickness than presents- shopping

Hmm weird, I've looked for No More Socks on both the App Store and Play Store and can't find it on either. Any clue what I could be doing wrong?

I could not find it either bicycle so I downloaded a free one called Christmas Gift List. It links to amazon and looks fairly simply to use.

You do have to go into settings though and change currency and set country so it links to the right amazon site. A simple job!

Thanks all, have bought a series of Disney books for DNephew, and some story books for DS1 due in October from the Amazon link.

Well that's a nice big chunk off -ranks to whoever posted the john lewis clearance! Picked up some.lovely wooden builder animal things for baby niece, cards, tags, crackers and a cushion all for 16 quid!

Thanks Reastie , DS has a Christmas Birthday so I need to be more organised this year!

Bicycle you have to search "for iPhone only" to find No More Socks.

Bought my first Christmas cards from the RNLI shop on holiday this week then saw the thread was back. Yay it's time to start! I love this thread, I like not being the only one getting organised early

Morning,

I posted a few things on the last thread and am so excited reading all of these new ideas.

I'm after some Blaze and the monster machine trainers for my 3yo, I think at the moment you can only get them from Target in America and including postage it's £55.00!!!! So if anyone sees them cheaper elsewhere I'll love them forever
