I did go and get my links direct from amazon, MN add them. it's a pain!
look at your bakeoff calendar link, Firefly

didn't include that one because it wasn't reduced

I'm not too fussed about affiliate links. People posting here are only trying to be helpful, not scam us!

@tattyboggle89 thanks for the pandora link.

And please keep posting Flowers

Anyone with younger children to buy for, I picked up a weebles patch the dog for £2 in the factory shop today. They don't seem to be available anywhere else.

They also had the cow, sheep and horse that go on the little train carriages for £4. The only other places doing them at that price are online retailers with postage to pay.

I bought 4 bracelets in the Swarovski sale as I wasn't sure whether to get small or medium, plus if you spent a certain amount you got free postage (with free returns). Now they are here I love them and want to keep them all! Desperately trying to think who else I can give them to. definitely keeping one for meeeee

For anyone with creative children, both Argos and Very have jumbo packs of Bunchems reduced from £39.99 to £29.99.

I've just ordered for my 5yo DC.

If anyone knows where I could buy a giant gummy bear jelly mould from, please point me in the right direction. I've found little ones, but I think the one she's picturing will make more like a big centre-piece jelly. She has recently taken to watching YouTube videos and a girl on one she watches makes a huge jelly gummy-bear, so of course, she'd like to be able to do that herself. X

Thomas and Friends Daring Dragon Drop reduced to £9.99 at Argos. Looks a decent set for this price!

Pewterhooter earrings ordered, thank you for link :)

PamelaEwing · 23/08/2017 14:23

Went RW (real world) shopping this morning and saw superdrug had their pretty hair accessories half price at 69p upwards. Could make useful stocking fillers or party bag gifts. Grin

Also saw all the Harry Potter bits in Primark! PJ's, mugs, slipper socks, socks, fleece throws, tshirts, etc. etc. Primark were selling off lots of their kitsch tokidoki stationery (bit like Smiggle stuff) for half price. Picked up a soft strawberry milk carton style pencil case among other bits for £2 and am going t fill it with cute stationery bits for DD.

I've also ordered the earrings. Was trying to think who to give them to but I quite fancy them myself! Grin

Iwannasnack · 23/08/2017 14:32

Oh and the little flying helicopter things from a while ago (that I'd forgotten about) turned up today. They look quite neat. One is for FIL so I showed DH and he was impressed. Good job there's one for him too that he doesn't know about.

Annwithnoe · 23/08/2017 14:43

Not really a bargain as such but just a reminder that Tiger change their stock monthly and have excellent stocking fillers for tweens and teens. I like to buy bits and pieces over the next couple of months before they are shopping in there for Christmas gifts themselves.

MrsCrimbo74 · 23/08/2017 14:47

Disney Frozen 14" bike was £99.99 now £64.99, cheapest place I can find it.

Ju Ju parrot wellies sizes 3 or 4 only £14.39 instead of £40.00

Personalised Wooden Garage was £58.99 now £29.99

I know people are a bit dubious about paying for Studio, however you just wait for your goods to arrive and then receive an invoice which you can pay straight away so no need for a credit account or anything.

Anyone looking for paw patrol stuff? I've received CCC alerts today that amazon have dropped the price of both the lookout tower and paw patroller.

DisorderedAllsorts · 23/08/2017 15:00

I've just restocked my gift drawer with inexpensive items from the dotcom gift shop.

gifts under £5

Coldilox · 23/08/2017 15:05

Thanks Dillie for the Swarovski link, just bought my neice a lovely bracelet!

Tattybogle89 · 23/08/2017 15:30

Have given the pewterhooter earrings a go myself. Clicked on seller and there is actually lots and lots of well rated jewellery around the £5 mark at the moment so worth a look.

Now that's what I call sing 2, game and microphone pack for PS4 only £9.99 here at amazon

TellMeItsNotTrue · 23/08/2017 16:08

I won a pair of pewterhooter earrings rrp £75, I would say they were fine to buy for yourself but the presentation and everything made them look cheap to me wasn't hoping to use a prize as a gift, noooo I would never do that Wink

Whoever posted about Tinc, and the people who commented they had bought (bumping it on to my radar!) my bank manager wants a word Wink Grin

WreckTangled · 23/08/2017 16:38

Fatty the PS4 game is up for £25 Sad

WreckTangled · 23/08/2017 16:38

Argh bloody autocorrect Tatty!! BlushBlush

ZIGGY911 · 23/08/2017 16:52

My helicopters arrived I ordered from Amazon. Boxes all crushed so can't use as presents, feedback now horrendous too so don't fancy using them either, any idea if I have any comeback as it's a seller not Amazon directly

lifelongfrugaleer · 23/08/2017 16:54

My Lisa angel necklace is beautiful and has been round my neck this afternoon

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 23/08/2017 16:56

Blimey christmasunicorn didn't know Cox & Cox did Christmas stuff! Dangerous for my bank account Grin. I give them full marks for starting nice and early, like us!
