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So I will start a new op at some point but since it's only July and things will be slower the links will portably be out of date by the time the next thread starts so I'll save that for later.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

Found these Vaseline lip therapy tins in a Xmas bauble at Poundland.

Thanks for mermaid tips so far!
Found Ariel wash mitts in Poundland too.

Need bargains more than ever as seem to be spending about 50% of our income on bloody nit solution

Zavvi have got Blurays 5 for £30. Individual prices are between £8.99 to £15.99 (for a Star Trek film...), but there are some good titles, including BFG, The Snowman special editions and It's a Wonderful Life (seeing as we're on the Christmas thread), some Downton Abbey sets, Audrey Hepburn collection...

2.5% (I think, DVDs count as entertainment, right?) cashback through Quidco.

I've never had a problem with IWOOT, I think last year they mispriced some blenders which lots of people tried to buy, which caused issues

Found you a bargainous solution, Haudyerwheesht...

It was the absolute nightmare battle for refunds on returns with IWOOT that makes them utterly dire. Took forever to sort out. 😡

Every year I struggle with grandparents and aunts and uncles. Although, as dd put, I'm really lucky to have [great] grandparents still because everyone else we know, theirs have died! Still tricky to buy for though....

2-in-1 kitchen/dolls house £26.99 from Argos on ebay, with free delivery. It's quite small, and very pink, but might suit someone who doesn't have a lot of room but would like both.

The Argos shop on eBay is worth keeping an eye on. They've also got Mega Bloks Thomas and Friends Hidden Treasure Adventures for £13.99 and free P&P. This looks to be a decent sized set, especially for that price! It's £19.99 from a third party seller on Amazon, and according to CCC, has never been lower than £15.50, so a pretty decent price.

Mamas and Papas double decker twin set pram £14.99.

This is black and yellow, for whoever was looking for a non-pink-pram for their DS. And a good price - it's cheaper than the simple buggy styles! It's just a bit too big for what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the link to the storage boxes from the works Llamacorn i was just looking through and have ordered the unicorn ones if anyone is looking for unicorn stuff

These could make a lovely gift- a set of 6 mini glittery ciate nail varnishes in different colours, each housed in a seperate see through bauble for £7.99 on wbay

6 ciate bauble nail varnishes £7.99

Thanks firefly that might be just the ticket - not sure how Dd will take to it .....

HobbyCraft have a sale on their art stuff. Paints,brushes,storage etc. Masks to paint for 1.50. Got tricked a bit in there today. 😬

Hollister have got a 60% off sale currently.

ELC have a sale on, and I just found this climbing dome with slide for £79.99, reduced from £169.99

Ive just had an email from the perfume shop. The free clutch bag that comes with the perfume has ran out.

Anyone else waiting on Lisa Angel stuff? I emailed customer service to see where my order was, got an auto response but no actual answer. I was hoping it would be here as one item is for a birthday gift.

The code BB4BM gives 20% off any size order at the works.

Can people give a shout out if they spot any good TV deals? Think it's time for a new one. Looking for an Ultra HD smart to, 40 inches or bigger.

Christmas pressie to myself?

I've just received my order from the online pound store of the loccitane stuff. Just so people know. It is from loccitane au Brezil not loccitane en provence. I'm not too worried as they are still lovely and will still make a fabulous gift but if you wanted them for a fussy mother in law you might need to think again. I'm just trying to see if they are sister companies as the Loccitane font is exactly the same.

Actually it looks like they are sister company's as they have a link on the website

I've been looking for fairy garden bits and pieces for DD. I've seen some gorgeous little chairs and tables and bridges, etc. that look like they are made of twigs but are suitable for outdoors. But the prices! £5-7 for a chair that isn't even the size of my thumb .

imsorryiasked I've had my order from Lisa angel. I didn't order jewellery, I ordered personalised items and they took less than a week.
