Wow, prequel is all filled up and it's not even august!

So I will start a new op at some point but since it's only July and things will be slower the links will portably be out of date by the time the next thread starts so I'll save that for later.

Welcome everyone to Christmas Bargain Central, a place to post and share ideas and offers .

Woo hoo! Thanks reastie!

Have decided on the dc's main presents. Dd is getting a kindle, will wait for Black Friday and Ds a bike. It'll be a decent one, wonder if anywhere does good deals on proper bikes on Black Friday? Looking at claud butler ones at the moment and that's top of our budget.

Our local high street bike shop did BLack Friday deals last year. They're not online, but had lots of discounts.

I've read this dedicatedly but not bought a single thing yet. It's getting quite late in the year for me

Aw Xmas Grin it almost feels like Christmas already!

Checking in!

Ds has a December birthday so I'm well and truly starting the shop now. Just had some books delivered for him from the amazon 3 for £10. Also have ds2 this year and quite excited to be buying for a baby!

Probably most keen to find out the magazine subscription deals this year. Last year's Good Housekeeping went down a storm with MIL. I've signed up to the 5 issues for £5 for myself to include the Christmas issue. It's out in October so not even that long to wait, hurrah Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 30/07/2017 21:28

Checking in for any twitch purchases! 😂

VoldemortsNipple · 30/07/2017 21:31

Whoop whoop!! Thanks Reasie. I've made quite a good start already but never completely finish before 24th December. This year I'm hoping to finish early so I can relax and enjoy December with dgd. I'm on the lookout for a nice toddler pram something like this moover pram and I'd love a handmade rag doll if anyone has any recommendations.

Can I also suggest for people buying for teens, Holister and Abercrombie always have decent offers in their clearance all year round. Holister had some nice aftershaves reduced from £28 to £10.99 last week.

Place marking in new thread :)

Rockhopper81 · 30/07/2017 21:33

Thanks for the new thread - I wasn't here last year, but hope it's okay to be here this time around! Smile

SharonStrzelecki · 30/07/2017 21:34

Thanks Reastie :)

Turnbacktime101 · 30/07/2017 21:35

Oh oh it's back

I'm so happy people are talking about Christmas 🎄

Pixie2015 · 30/07/2017 21:37

Been picking up stocking fillers in sales already going to try and not go over top this year x

drinkyourmilk · 30/07/2017 21:41

Every year I start put with the best of intentions and then end up panic buying in December. Not this year. Oh no!

Penhacked · 30/07/2017 21:43

Must be more organised this year so thanks Reastie.

NoParticularPattern · 30/07/2017 21:44

Oh I've found my people!! I tried to ponce one year but I don't have the required attention span I don't think.

Bargains are much more my bag! Especially with 8(!) nieces and nephews to buy for, plus all the usual attached parents/in laws/siblings! I already feel behind and it's not been my birthday yet!!

OhOurBilly · 30/07/2017 21:48

Thanks Reastie

Settling in. Am quite excited to be part of this this year! Dh is incredulous that I'm already excited about Christmas, pffft, I've been excited since January.

Fancythat69 · 30/07/2017 21:53

Just checking in, ive made a small start already and got an Amazon wishlist as my arm. Bring on the bargains 🌲❄

valeriarrgh · 30/07/2017 21:56

Place marking!

DD's first birthday is in November so I've already started.

Groovester · 30/07/2017 22:08

Loving these from AliExpress. Clip on earrings for my wee girl who loves jewellery. £6 odds for all of these and the wee heart display case (including postage.) Sorry that the photos aren't great.
Also got the mini lalaloopsy figures to put inside her advent calendar. We have wooden ones with drawers that I fill myself each year.
