Thread 5 - show us your haul

See message two for links etc

I was trying to stay away from this thread and Christmas buying until after my little ones first birthday but I caved in today and bought (all from Elc)-
Happy land zoo reduced to £35 from £70
Happy land advent calendar (pricey at £25)
Happy land puzzles for £6
I used an Elc birthday code which got me 20% off meaning the three items cost £53.
I have already used the code once to buy birthday presents but it let me use it again. Sadly there is no point sharing the code as it is linked to email address but there is 50% off lots of happy land toys at the moment.
Now I need to concentrate on buying for two teenagers.

Don't know if it has been previously mentioned, but has anyone ever bought anything from wish. it seems similar to Aliexpress. Looks like there's some good deals.

5 little bags (I made them from gold fabric, but you can buy cheap little gift bags)
5 sucker hooks
squares of card with a hole in the corner to fit on the hook with numbers 1-24 written on them.
and 24 little gifts wrapped in scraps of paper.

reusable advent calendar!
just remember to refill them and change the numbers every 5 days.

awww..LikeSilver . Lovley puppy wuppy smooshy-wooshy

ahem

Could just wrap everything and put numbers on, in a box with shredded tissue and they have to rummage around for the right numbered item?

Smyths 20% off is this weekend

Hobby craft code has gone

My mini wooden Christmas train arrived from China this morning.mits taken weeks and weeks but it's lovely, I'm very pleased considering how cheap it was. Link should be in long list somewhere under amazon.

Cannot believe the amount of money I have just saved at The Works!

Bought DD a Where's Wally puzzle, some Harry Potter playing cards, some mini highlighters, a pack of bouncy balls, a 16 book collection of children's Shakespeare stories, a 10 book collection of the Dork Diaries and I got 4 furry monster notebooks - one for DD's stocking and the other 3 for presents.

Used code PLAY25 for 25% off and got free delivery for spending over £20. How have I never used TW before?! The whole lot only set me back £36.00!

Cath someone was saying they use Wish and recommended it. I've downloaded it and it looks good- but haven't bought anything from it yet so can't vouch for how good it is.

Frugi have just reduced their sale bits. Some items are down to 70% off. There are some very cute baby Christmas T-shirts here and here.

Ooooo more good advent calendar ideas. You lot are like Christmas fairies

Just noticed that on TOPCASHBACK If you search for The Entertainer you can click through and sign up for the birthday club to get a special discount before their birthday (or make the "birthday" whenever you are likely to spend) and you get 52p for signing up every little helps!

Tescos had Star Wars Darth Veda 3-D men's slippers reduced from £20 down to £5 this morning. So picked up a pair worth a look.

Not an amazing bargain but I'm happy anyway - Jelly Belly 1.8kg jelly beans are £12 in Costco. I've been cradling the tub like a baby. . I wants them, my precious.
