Thread 17- it's all about the advent calendars

[RoastieToastieReastie]

Rubbish title I know, I panicked! And we are collecting a lovely collection of different advent calendars.

See post two for links etc

cheeky is it brighttree village he wants? My daughter loves that one too! She's not getting it. Either they make very few, or they only made a limited run (very likely for an high end lego set) because they are never reduced. The only slightly cheaper way to get one is second hand.

For serious lego fanatics, you can use websites like brick.com to help work out what you can almost make with bricks you already have then order the instructions and individual missing bricks from various sets. But bright tree village has so many unique minifigs that it's probably not a cost effective way of doing it.

Thank you MrsBellefleur for the play dough bargains

Not particularly bargainous but maybe useful stocking fillers - Peacocks have large sweet lollipops in flamingo, pug and unicorn designs.

Loads of Harry Potter stuff in Cwmbran shop, the duvet covers, pjs ,tops ,picture, sox. onesies and a lovely boxed set for £13 I bought my dd for xmas

She is a vegan as well and after seeing vegan hampers on Amazon and various vegan places I bought a lot of vegan sweets chocs and cakes and desserts and popcorn and marzipan bars for her choc shot on offer in Waitrose cost about £30 but it really will be one of her best pressies I know mainly bc I bothered to check all the stuff was vegan first !

TheKids thank you that could be just the thing

I have a very random 22% off IWOOT with the code WBACK

Anyone want a challenge? I need a good quality hen or chicken themed mug as cheaply as possible.

Thanks notsure for the Playmobil tip off, that's my new nephews present for Christmas 2017 done!!!

Also thanks to whoever mentioned the Kipling bag, MIL's birthday sorted.

Try TK Maxx, Reastie I've seen them there, also Sainsburys - my mum has some from there.

Anyone know if Argos will have another 3for2 on toys before xmas?

Need ideas for a silly suprise present at work. No budget, so am working on £10 or under, and suprise recipient. I'm a bit rubbish at that kind of thing!

Thanks acsec, I will try tkmaxx if I get time to go to my local one (it's not that local!)

Or the Emma bridgewater ones are about £15 that is expensive for a mug though

How about Clark Rooster Dream Mug, Multi-Colour, 325 ml [[https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004TS2QUG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_S9kmyb8DD7DE3 this one]] Reastie

Alex Clark Rooster Dream Mug, Multi-Colour, 325 ml www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004TS2QUG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_S9kmyb8DD7DE3

Try again!!

I got these in Card Factory today. Plushes were £1.99, wind up toys 99p and the sign was £1.49. They had little Lego type santas and snowmen for 99p and in lovely little boxes. They had lots of elf and fairy things very cheap.

Does anyone still have next vouchers? Would love one please.

Do you still have the next code by any chance? Thanks

Sorry above was for mamma

Rj that was the best one I could find too!

Rockchick definite maybe!

Just a reminder on a totally different note if you have amazon prime and a delivery is late do contact them as they will extend your prime for a month for free (this happened to me yesterday although I'm still awaiting said parcel)

Any not on the high St codes about?

I just bought the rooster mug for my chicken obsessed friend , thank you!

For those of you buying Sylvanian families have a look at the Sylvanianian shop in Highbury, London. They might stock the more obscure, hard to find sets.
