Christmas Bargain Ideas Thread 1. We have lift off!

[Reastie]

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So I will start a new op at some point but since it's only July and things will be slower the links will portably be out of date by the time the next thread starts so I'll save that for later.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

If anyone sees hype bags going dirt cheap again can you tag me. Sproutstheeldest wants one

marking place

Strap for bass guitar is a good shout.

Debenhams have Labyrinth board game for £11

Not my cup of tea but elf on the shelf birthday edition at the entertainer for £2.95 link

I got loads of little bath toys (light up animals,etc) in Sainsbury's toy sale last year. Sorry can't remember who asked.

Thanks for the thread Reastie. Talking Christmas with the wind and rain outside I can't believe it's actually August. I'm even in my cosy snowflake xmas pj bottoms!

@SideOrderofSprouts lots of hype rucksacks in the sale here www.justhype.co.uk/bags/backpacks?dir=asc&order=price

Thanks fancy :)

I'm waiting for them to go cheaper like they did last year and I miss out at the last minute grr

Please, please, please if anyone sees a Hey Duggee Norrie toy can they let me know? It doesn't even need to be cheap but DS is continuing his tradition of only liking toys that are discontinued and/or impossible to find.

Simply they have some on eBay:

Hey Duggee Squirrel Soft Toys Norrie/Betty/Tag/Happy/And Roly All 5 New

Or a talking one at ToysRus though it's quite cheap so possibly quite small.

SimplyNigella Hey Diggle Norrie in stock here and ships internationally.

My little pony Pinky Pie Party Popper (pops balls out of its head) suitable from 9 months reduced to £11.99 from £34.99 in the Entertainer here

Thanks for the Birthday elf. I've just bought 2. One for GDG and one for work as I work in a nursery.

knex education into structure bridges £16.49 reduced from £39.99. Looks a good STEM toy
janod magnetic rocket £23.96 reduced from £30.76
playmobil wildlife safari truck £17.80 reduced from £39.99

That Janod rocket is a disaster, the pieces never keep together unless played with very delicately (🤣🤣🤣) And it's pretty small. Just a heads up!

Someone was asking for a non pink baby and buggy.

We have that buggy. It's fairly robust (and gets loads of use from our two!).

£3.49 for a pack of 12 sharpie highlighters on Argos clearance page on website . Good for teens stocking filler

That's a shame about the Janod rocket I'd heard such good things about the brand! Kind of you to warn others though, a bargain is not a bargain if it's a bad product

Knex is a favourite here thank you

There are some discounted K'Nex stuff on the John Lewis website

We have the Janod rocket and quite like it - it doesn't stay together to be played with robustly but I don't think thats the intention. DS liked putting it together over and over. However, defo not worth £30, or even £23 imo. Ours was a gift.

Oh yes, don't shop at IWOOT. They took months to deal with a simple replacement for a faulty item which required many emails from me to sort out last year. Never again .

Does anyone remember when disney do the bogof promotion?
I am after quite a few for my own dc and other family members.

And I am off, thanks to this thread!!

4 x PJs from Character.com sale (2.95 each)

www.superdry.com/womens/sale-accessories - superdry sale. I checked and you can beat the ebay shop on some stuff (not the snow stuff or sport though). Bought DS1 a jacket for £27.50

Sass & Belle has provided some stocking fillers for DD
