I've got a next account but I'm clueless at how to refer. If anyone needs it I can look it up though.

I'm still waiting for the predicted 20% off in House of Fraser (according to MSE). I have a coat for DP in my basket that is already reduced a bit so I'm worried its going to go.

Are Amazon going to do 'proper' Black Friday as well as all this other stuff that is running now?

Notsure1234 · 19/11/2016 10:34

Don't know if it's been mentioned already but Argos have Playmobil 123 police and ambulance set reduced from £59.99 to £13.99. I think the £59.99 is over inflated but still seems a good price at £14

confuugled1 · 19/11/2016 10:37

I've just had my inflatable reindeer toss games delivered as mentioned in some early threads.

After several people said they hadn't got theirs off amazon, I had a look on ebay. I chose one of the sellers that had a good feedback rating and had plenty showing in stock. It wasn't the cheapest but only by about 30p and it still cost less than £3. It was ordered 2-3 weeks ago so if anyone is still wanting one it might be worth a shot.

Mummyshortlegz · 19/11/2016 10:50

Not sure - brilliant price! It's £31.99 on Amazon.

ipswichwitch · 19/11/2016 11:08

Playmobil western goldmine is half price at £24.99 in Argos. I got one a couple of months ago for DS1 for Christmas for the same price from Amazon, and it looks pretty substantial and a real bargain

RoastieToastieReastie · 19/11/2016 11:17

Confuugled thanks for the idea, might just do that

If anyone needs a Boden £10 of £30 spend code pm me. Expires today.

I've found a great company doing personalised maps. Look very stylish imho. No offers that I'm aware of but worth a look.

I've also been emailed about good Friday deals at Runaway accessories. It was mentioned a few (10 probably!!) threads back. I've ordered 2 handbags as gifts for people and very pleased. Saw the same handbag in John Lewis for double the price.

Serendipitystardust1 · 19/11/2016 13:46

Seems to be 3 for 2 for toys at my local tesco. Not sure if its a nationwide/instore thing or available online too.

Iris1 · 19/11/2016 15:39

Thanks for the heads up about Jaegar. Anyone know how they size up, can't work it out well from the chart. For a 10/12 would you buy small or medium!?
Thanks
Xx

gaggiagirl · 19/11/2016 15:45

I have 2 £10 off a £15 spend at next.co.uk for new customers codes. Exp 10/12 pm me if you want one.

ASpiderInTheBath · 19/11/2016 16:00

Sorry I can't remember who it was but on the last thread someone recommended the cheeky elf company. I ordered some bits from them and I am really, really impressed so thank you to whoever it was Flowers

reastie is it worth putting the link in the op? They do products for elves and are great quality and very reasonable prices, I had a lovely little sleeping bag and a Christmas jumper for my elf and an elf hat for my dd, came to around £11 including delivery. Here's the link www.thecheekyelf.co.uk/

winewolfhowls · 19/11/2016 16:02

Shopkins sticker wallet four pounds at the works. Also seen there..

Free tape and dispenser with code xmastape (in capitals)

20%off with Xmas20

ASpiderInTheBath · 19/11/2016 16:03

Sorry, I also meant to say, tesco have got 3 for 2 on toys which I know someone had already posted, but they were out of stock in a few things i wanted. I looked on Amazon instead and quite a few of the toys I wanted were reduced, I don't know if it's to keep the prices in line with tesco or just coincidence but t might be worth a look!
