Thread 20 - I want a present shitting log

[GodReastieMerryGentlemen]

Nope, I have no idea what a present shitting log is either.

See post 2 for links etc and note the addition of a link with more info to the mn Christmas appeal, a very good cause if you're looking to donate to charity this Christmas time.

In other news, is anyone else disappointed with the sales? I usually manage to kit out ds with clothes for the next year, but this year I haven't found a single thing. Was also hoping to stock up present cupboard, but nope!

I haven't found anything other than a couple of bits in the sweaty Betty sale yet. Looking for Christmas cards but haven't found anything I like in stock and decently reduce.

JL still have most of their Christmas cards full price which is irritating. I'm trying to get organised but am being thwarted!

Paperchase had lots of cards reduced.

I've just bought some This Works bargains from their website.
I love their stuff but it's very pricey.

Some good annual (the books) offers on Amazon Prime including Minecraft, Lego Star Wars, and The Secret Life of Pets for £1 each

Thanks for this year reastie, chips etal
Loads of great pressie that went down really well and not a full priced item in the lot.
Sales, not so good I don't think. Got some soap and glory in boots and Christmas bits for 50p in poundland but not much else.

Whoever recommended a) Dobble and b) those cheap Barbie mermaid tail outfits from Amazon THANK YOU as both have been a huge hit here.

Really disappointed with The Sales though.

Elc toys have gone down well here! Thanks for the inspiration and kick up the arse just to get things bought asap! Much less stress than usual! But I am shopped out now, can't be bothered with even looking at the sales!!! See you next year!

Massive lion and tiger cited as the best presents in this house! Just done a top up on wrapping paper from John Lewis ready for next year. Thanks all!

sits waiting for next years thread, watching the tumbleweed...

I need a nice present for a 1 year old boy around 10-15£?

BWatchWatcher My boys all love this light up musical drum that we got from The Early Learning Centre 4.5 years agp. The one in the link is from Argos and is currently in the sale.
We got ours 4.5 years ago for our eldest (now 5.5yrs) for Christmas and it's still being played with by our youngest who is 18 month old. All 3 of them play with it and it still looks brand new.

😂 Girl thats how I feel

Girl for president

girl I know what you mean! So sad when these threads slowed down! When do the Christmas bargain threads start up again?

We could always pop over to the Parties section for a few months? Talk about bargains and ideas for birthdays, weddings, christenings, Easter etc? There used to be a really popular birthday party thread but it seems to have gone.

I went to the pound shop yesterday where Christmas stuff was 50p and got a dozen stocking fillers for dd for next year to go in the loft [organised]. It was practically empty and I was the only one looked excited in the Christmas section

Brilliant! @doctorboo! I'd forgotten about that toy. Will order one!

Good present for a 7 year old girl? Likes drawing.

@BWatchWatcher no problem, it's one of the few 'original' toys that have been kept (DH is anti clutter).

My cousin is 7 in February and I've got (stashed away) a My Little Pony figure that you 'doodle' on and decorate. Would that type of thing work?

Thanks Reastie for leading another year of fantastic bargain sharing. It's been great fun and I'll look out for you all again next year. All the very best for 2017!

Jamie Oliver's Christmas Cook Book down to £8.50, lowest ever according to CCC.

Ooh something I am very tempted by JO christmas but trying to resist...I feel like this thread has turned me into some stocks and shares type I am hanging on for £6.50 before I buy!
