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So I will start a new op at some point but since it's only July and things will be slower the links will portably be out of date by the time the next thread starts so I'll save that for later.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

Boots Summer Clearance

Pre order sega mega drive flashback here for christmas

When do most retailers stop discounting things because it's almost Christmas?

I would imagine they tactfully put their prices up because of demand at the time, surely?

I will have a few week old baby come December time so not sure how I'll do my usual frantics of shopping like a mad woman down the shops.

I don't like online shopping for Christmas

Thank you tatty for those dates. I'm waiting for the Sainsbury's toy sale and the 18th oct would be perfect as I'm off work that week but the dc are still at school!

Oh my god it's here! I love this thread every year and I can never keep up with you lot, no matter how hard I try.

I am continuing my quest for really really awesome outside lights this year, especially for our back garden.

I have already purchased the first few things for advent fun in the ELC sale. On the day we go to see Santa kids will open this Santa set and when we write letters to Santa we have this postman set.

Both bargains!

I've ordered then BBCgoodfood wine club wines for my dDad. If you follow the link in the picture, you can choose from a mixed, white or red case (I got red) and it is £52.99 for £125ish of decent wine. Also with the code in the picture you get an extra free bottle of Rioja and a Darlington Decanter worth £50.99 (instead of the prosecco and champagne flutes shown) and free delivery! On until the 30/9 I think

The cases are 12 bottles so that's 13 bottles of wine and a dartington decanter delivered for just over £50

maybe giant bears are this year's Robert the unicorn equivalent?

sanctuary make a wish box £20 reduced from £45

Do you know if there are ever any deals on Ray Bans? My daughter is desperate for some aviator the ones.. thanks

playmobil 123 safari set £29.19 reduced from £56.63. Ccc lowest ever price was £29.07 so a really good price. Only 2 left in stock and prime members only

wishing the hexbug had shown up yesterday, I did an order made almost entirely of add-on items!

Thanks for the Boots tip, Melina.

DSis has been after one of those Woodwick crackling candles for ages (she has a thing for candles...it's not an affinity I share!). I was going to buy her one anyway, but £10 instead of £25 for the big ones is a great deal!

Playmobil Secret Pirates Treasure Island advent calendar £15.99 at Thehut and if you use discount code PLAY you get 10% off bringing it down to £14.39 and postage is only £1.99

Dangerousmouse Sunglasses shop are doing Ray ban aviators for £69.00 was £84.00, can't get a discount on top of that unfortunately but a damn good price, plus it's free delivery

Everything I've clicked on in the Boots sale is Out of Stock

Morning all. Glad to find the thread up and running again. I only discovered it last year and I got some great bargains. Thank you Reastie for all your work.

This is the first time I have few ideas for my will be nearly 7 year old at Christmas and for his birthday in January. So hopefully this thread will provide some inspiration.

I am going to look more into the coding Lego as that might be a possibility.

The one thing he would really like is Monopoly if anybody finds any cheap deals, thank you.

I had a new fake tree delivered yesterday;

'tis lovely.
Delivery driver was puzzled. I could not stop grinning. Our old tree will go in the kitchen, new 6footer will go in the living room. 99 quid, down from £179

Only place I could share it...

Amazing, thank youCrimboI've ordered those ones.

This lego coding - I haven't heard of it before, do you think its ok for a 13 year old? My daughter is starting computer science in september and is just getting into coding, but do you think its too young for her?

You might be better with a Raspberry Pi dangerousmouse

Most things out of stock on boots sale unfortunately, as some great bargains there. I wonder if the items saying 'stock coming soon' will come back while the sale is still on?

DangerMouse what age is your dd? I bought my dd (15) the youth ones as they were so much cheaper - about £50! And they actually fit me too - I don't particularly have a small head either

@DangerousMouse keep a look out on very, usually bank holiday sales. I got ray ban aviators from £150 to £60.

Now when they email me about a ale I look instantly at ray bans

ooh Raspberry pi, sounds tasty I know nothing about this stuff! just had a quick look at the lego and its too expensive, not looking for a main present.

I have ordered her ray bans now thanks Lexi I'm happy with the ones from sunglasses shop, £69 isn't a bad price at all I don't think - although I would have checked out the kids ones if I'd have known.
