15 mini ciate nail polishes for £19.99 delivered- 9 of them glittery so perfect for christmas/ popping into advent calendars
(Especially considering the ciate advent calendar contains 24 pots for £50, this works out about half price)

15 ciate nail varnishes

What are these pj masks you keep mentioning? Isn't it a bit dangerous to wear a mask to bed?

StubbleTurnips · 05/10/2016 07:29

itsonly they had giant Elsa, Rapunzel and Aurora soft dolls when we were in Costco on Sunday.

pantherfootballforever · 05/10/2016 07:30

Ok - next request!!!! Vtech secret diary visual - the one with the camera in it. It's £40 everywhere except Argos who have it for £25 but of course it's out of stock there! Any vouchers for Smyths, entertainer etc or anyone seen it cheaper anywhere else?

TheImprobableGirl · 05/10/2016 07:36

always pj masks is a tv series on Disney junior (featuring gecko, owlette and I can't remember the blue one... Cat boy?)

Just bought nerd Rebelle power blaster guns Hmm reduced from £13 to £6.50, extra darts for £3.50 from £7, and the grafix fashion wheel already mentioned for a fiver, all from house of Fraser. Seem to have free click and collect for any amount!

Oreocrumbs · 05/10/2016 07:51

Panther thee vtech diary is on my list too, although I think I'm going to get dd a tablet this year, (waiting for Black Friday) so I probably won't end up getting the diary.

It's new and an 'in' toy so your best bet for a reduction is to look at shop discounts, smyths (and most others) regularly do £x off £xx spend codes. I think (possibly) Argos might do another 3for2 event before Christmas, or boots will probably sell it on their 3for2. Of course it helps If you have 3 £40 toys to buy if going down this route!

Changingagain · 05/10/2016 07:58

I'd been holding out on Beatbo since missing a £16 lightning deal last month but seeing as it says dispatch 1-2 months I've decided it's not likely to get another lightning deal and gone for it at £26. Thanks for the link.

RJnomore1 · 05/10/2016 08:01

Robert has made the mumsnet email Grin

pantherfootballforever · 05/10/2016 08:05

Thanks Oreo - it's for my niece so I really have no clue about it other than she wants it and I'm not paying £40 for it! Was all excited when I saw it for £25 on Argos until I realised it was out of stock! Will keep looking! Thanks for the info!

NorbertDentressangle · 05/10/2016 08:12

Thanks to clicking links on this thread my email from Amazon today is full of Ride On Unicorns!!

It's not as though I have anyone to buy one for! Not sure teenage DD or 12yo DS would appreciate one TBH.

AdmiralCLingus · 05/10/2016 08:28

Definitely a most unbargainous day in the admiral household today as we have the glaziers in to fit new windows :( bye bye 2k! So definitely need some good bargains!!!

ShoopShoop · 05/10/2016 08:33

If any of you have an espresso machines and are about to do a pod order anyway.....they have a offer where if you order 350 at once, 80 of which must be their new Brazilian pod, then they add a set of Pure cappuccino mugs and espresso cups worth £30 to your order. I was going to do a pod order anyway this morning and then saw that offer, so amended the order so it qualified. I'll hide the mugs from DH and give them to him as part of a coffee themed gift I was already planning for Christmas. Probably only worth doing if you need the pods anyway but thought I would pass it on. Cups look quite posh....

Freezingwinter · 05/10/2016 09:12

Anyone seen any push along cars? The one with a parent handle? I'm after the step2 one but its so expensive so any brand would be fine!

Haudyerwheesht · 05/10/2016 09:45

If anyone sees any deals on baby born please please let me know. Dd wants the baby born boy doll and the baby born horse - together they're £100!!!!! I've already bought her a coach built pram so really need to save cash elsewhere

StubbleTurnips · 05/10/2016 09:56

I believe the non bargainous m&s Christmas food brochure is out today.....

Balletgirlmum · 05/10/2016 10:01

I am now the proud owner of a 15 year old.

She loves her new tablet bought as a joint present between us & her grandparents on offer at P world. She also loved her make up bought on 10 % off.

BadlyWrittenPoem you can find some Hunters discounted on Shoeaholics or MandM direct. Hope you find something you like

stealthsquiggle · 05/10/2016 11:18

I am much tempted by the unicorn onesies, but...

I have to stop buying stuff for DD. Even given that she has a birthday next week, I already have a heap that I can split between birthday and Christmas and there will be plenty.

Every single child I buy presents for has a birthday between now and Christmas, so I need Birthday and Christmas bargains for

1 * 14yo boy
1 * 14yo girl
1 * 9yo girl
1 * 10 yo violently anti-pink girl
1 * 13yo girl
1* 7 yo boy
1 * 6yo girl
1 * 4 yo girl

First one is DS, but I already have one biggish present for him, so budgets are probably about £25-30 for birthdays and £15-20 for Christmas each.

Gah. It's scary when you write it down like that.

wowwee123 · 05/10/2016 11:23

just been eyeing up some of yhe food hampers on m&s and theres a couple of good ones for dgp. anyone know if ever get discounts on those?

also after a bargain coffee pod machine which i know will be on offer but if anyone spots one that would be great. thanks.

StubbleTurnips · 05/10/2016 11:25

wow not sure about discounts for m&s hampers but Costco had hampers that looked lush for about 30quid.

We save our topcashback all year for our m&s Christmas food so I'm off to town at lunch for an actual brochure that I can admire Grin

gaggiagirl · 05/10/2016 12:09

B&M have Disney/marvel activity box things £4.99. In them you get at least 6 mini figures, a plastic play mat that is like a game board and a story book.
DD has the frozen one they are really good value for money.
