freezing do they look like the original EOTS?

Polkadot1974 · 12/09/2017 21:44

Place marking. My Aldi has the nice candles back in if anyone thinks there a nice little gift.

whyhastherumgone · 12/09/2017 21:52

If anyone sees any good deals on Elemis gift sets or products please shout! Keeping my eyes peeled for any bargains so I can contribute.

Debenhams currently has 30% off in the 'gifts' section in store - some nice Mrs Bridges hampers etc in there.

JangleJangleJangle · 12/09/2017 22:32

Barginous finds in Sainsburys sale rack today.

Shopkins slippers for £2.10 and a Peppa pig top for £3. Slippers for the Xmas eve hamper and a present for impossible dd3 who needs nothing as she's only 3 & the third daughter. God knows what else I'm going to get her.

Not much help to anyone else but it made my day 😂😂😂

Sogrowjo · 12/09/2017 22:59

Ooh I found some bargains in new look yesterday - there was 20% off the sale items, so I got a couple tops for £4.20 each and a pair of teen pjs for £2.40!! Also flowery earphones for £2.70.

Chocolateteabag · 12/09/2017 23:21

Nearly all my Quidco cash backs have been rejected recently - but TCB rarely have it rejected (even when I returned stuff!) therefore I tend now to stick to topcashback

BWatchWatcher · 12/09/2017 23:31

Thank you for the switch deal!
Here it is in HDUK

Bwatcher - great, thanks for linking!

@whyhastherumgone Elemis - not sure if this is a good offer but code Trending takes 20% off selected items at Look Fantastic. Have just checked and it worked for this gift set bringing it down to £31.60 and no delivery charge hydrate collection You could also try code MISSYOU, as apparently that includes a free gift when spending over £50, but I have used it before so it didn't work when I just checked. Topcashback up to 10% but not sure if that will work alongside offer (it has in the past for me).

Actually on Look fantastic it seems as though the current Beauty Box is a birthday edit - apparently with £72 value at £15 cost, it looks as though one of the items is an eve lom cleanser and cloth (prob small) . If you sign up for three months it is £14.50 per month and potentially £6.30 cashback throughtopcashback. Have decided to go for it and give the next two months as xmas gifts. I will put the birthday edit away for my birthday as not supposed to be treating myself! this is what might be in the box but it might vary I am not sure unboxing

Important you do need to cancel or the subscription will continue beyond the three boxes.

yumyumpoppycat · 13/09/2017 01:04

£6.30 from Look fantastic already tracking on TCB!

Reastie · 13/09/2017 06:36

Whyhastherumgone I'm also keeping y eye out for elemis. Last year I got a lovely set for myself via qvc for a great price. I'm hoping they do something similar this year.

DillieDoily · 13/09/2017 07:14

Sorry if it's already been posted out for f you are a Sky customer you can get a free Amazing Spider-Man DVD and download - I think it is for today only. Claim it from Sky Store free DVD

chicaguapa · 13/09/2017 07:56

Thanks for the Tesco offers. Not Christmas-related but DS has just bought himself a Nintendo Switch with £25 off and a game with £5 off. He'd been saving up all year and whilst he finally had enough for the Switch itself, he didn't have enough yet to get a game too. So this made it possible for him to get both. Flowers

peterpancollar · 13/09/2017 07:58

Thanks for the Switch deal - have ordered using my Tesco points/vouchers to bring the price down to £235. Was going to wait for new bundles to come out in the lead up to Christmas but I'm happy with that price for the console itself.

LostMyRubySlippers · 13/09/2017 08:09

Thanks the free Sky DVD- always glad to get something off them given that we pay them a fortune every month!

weebarra · 13/09/2017 08:10

20% off kids' accessories at Accessorize. They have Jojo bows for £6.80 but I have no idea what the normal price is. (Trying to keep DD in ignorance!)
Absolutely NOT barginous but the Molton Brown advent calendar is available to order at £165.

Rhodiolia · 13/09/2017 08:14

Maybe not any use for Christmas stuff, but mountain warehouse have a sale on plus free delivery on everything, no min spend. Code SCHOOL also takes a further 15% off on top.

yumyumpoppycat · 13/09/2017 08:21

Actually Reastie you probably already know this Grin but Elemis is on today Special Value from midnight Saturday into sun 17th Sep, so this weekend by the look of it - possibly this won't be THE deal for Christmas but worth a look, and usually they will give a clue during the intro about whether it is likely to be back on TSV before Christmas.

Here's a link to the QVC tv guide if anyone is interested qvc schedule - anything being shown at 12.00am is usually the special for the day.

ProseccoandPizza · 13/09/2017 08:26

Thanks for the Spider-Man DVD offer just completed it.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it but my local Tesco extra has assorted NERF guns reduced. I got a Modulus II reduced from £25/27 to £11.01 and an Elite Strike down from £15/18 to £10.

Ratbagcatbag · 13/09/2017 08:36

I keep dropping off the threads but now need to get on it.
First xmas as a single parent so need to be even mor bargainous than normal.

No idea what to get my just started school 4.5year old dd as her main present though.

RJnomore1 · 13/09/2017 08:49

Thank you for the Spider-Man DVD dh has just "bought@ it.

Fandabidozy · 13/09/2017 09:11

Ooh thank you for the DVD link.

I will probably never open it but I'll watch the download at some point :o
