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

beady there were quite a few in Sainsbury's when I went the other day (online here). Even better value if you have nectar points to double up.

girlwiththeyellowhat there are some lovely handmade dream catchers on Etsy. Search Dreamcatcher and then filter to UK sellers.

Victoria's secret have got massive Black Friday reductions.... perfumes reduced from £50+ to £22, and all bras and gym gear 50% off. Perfect for older teenage girls, although I think most women would like the fragrances.

I was looking for a nice hair dryer for my teenagers, found this Tresemme Keratin Smooth one that comes with heat protection spray plus a nice bag, reduced from £45 to £19.99, and also buy one get one half price. So I got them one each, for the total price of £29.98! Free delivery to local store (Lloyds Pharmacy).

Large Tsum Tsums £6.99 on Argos, down from £11.99. Medium ones are down to £3.99. www.argos.co.uk/product/5542680

Sorry if this has already been mentioned (I cannot keep up with these threads this year!) but Lego Millennium Falcon is £84 at the moment - that's my DH sorted (according to CCC lowest price was £79.99 so not too bad)

If anyone was thinking about getting a Kano build your own computer kit, their black Friday deals are live and pretty impressive. The kit with screen is £50 off. £40 off the kit without screen.

Arrgh.

Having asked ds2 for months which advent calendar he wanted and being told that he didn't want one or wanted one that I made with Pokemon cards or similar - he turned around this morning and started talking about when he has his play mobile advent calendar...

So I've had a quick look at all the places I thought of online for them (and a lego one too as back up) - the supermarkets, Smyths, Toysrus, Argos and Amazon... They all seem to be out of stock or back up to full price.

Every time I've seen them mentioned cheap on here I've double checked he doesn't want one.

Am I doomed to paying full price for the first time ever for an advent calendar or is there anywhere that people have spotted they are still available for a bargain please?
Thanks!

Has anyone got codes for Next and Boden, pretty please?

Not a particular bargain (£10 for a tea-towel!) but definitely one for the hard to buy for folk. www.shop.katyblades.co.uk/Dave-Grohl-Tea-Towel-Dave01.htm

She does other icons, and if you search on ebay you can get them there (I think the postage is free on eBay, not sure about the above link). I saw them at a local Christmas fayre yesterday.

confuugled, Amazon.de had them reduced the other day.

confuugled1 playmobil.co.uk have them. Full price but you should be able to find a code if you ask these lovely people nicely

How do you get a playmobil.co.uk discount code? Are they only sent to existing customers?

I am looking for the waterpark with slides which I've only see in stock at Amazon or Playmobil both not barganous

I am looking for any only fools and horses stuff for my hubbs but cant seem to find anything ....anyone seen anything please

My Dgrandfather has had a rough year- was briefly paralysed, but has regained mostly the use of his hands. However he is not yet able (or daring) enough to use a proper razor. He is using an electric one, but is not as happy with the closeness of the shave. (It was a cheaply bought light one for whist he was in hospital.)

He would like a better electric razor, but no one I know uses one. Can I be cheeky and ask whether anyone's DH/ DP has one they are happy with that give a nice close shave?

Thanks.

People looking for iPads- just been to John Lewis and spoken to an assistant who couldn't confirm or deny any Black Friday deals but said they'd got pallets full of iPad Air 2s and mini 4s in the back so he wouldn't be at all surprised if they were included. Also said that if we bought today and went in after Black Friday they'd refund the difference whilst they were on sale at the lower price (within 28 days of purchase). Hope that's of use to someone!

MrsMad Clintons had OF&H stuff in the other day. Mugs, glasses etc.

Can anyone help me with a search term please? I'm looking for one of those cylindrical toys which make noises when you turn them upside down - they always used to have farm animals printed around the outside (as they make a noise like a cow). Not the wands - it'll be too big for DD2 as she's only 7mo. Any ideas?!

LBOCS2 - search for Moo Box

LBOCS

Try Tobar animal sound maker. Is that the type of thing you mean?

Delurked to answer, thanks for the shopping help all

I know it was said upthread but code AN443 gets 25% off at White Company - I m an existing customer & it worked for me plus used my £10 voucher & even though order under £50 there was no P&P.

Perfect, thank you featherhead and sunniest - that's exactly what I was after!

Mrsmadevans strangely enough Debenhams have some

Thanks LondonPia I've just bought one of those tea towels for a hard to buy for friend. I bought via eBay saving £3.95 on P&P.

Bea thanks for the code, I had a £10 voucher and using the code too meant I've bought two Winter votive candles for a grand total of £5 rather than £10 each + postage. They will be lovely in the mini hampers I'm making for DS's two key workers at nursery.
