Thread 5 - Jesus I sent you a pm about a pug hoodie

[Reastie]

See post two for some helpful links. Here's to a budget conscious yet amazing Christmas.

Feel Unique have a tenner of a sixty pound spend with the code SEASONS-

Thanks for the new thread Reastie.

Anyone else abroad? I am in Spain. Toys are incredibly expensive here (think at least a 30% hike on top of the exchange rate) So frustrating that I can´t snap up some of these bargains. I find amazon and ebay quite reasonable for international delivery if you are putting in a big order. ASOS is free so that´s good. John Lewis is ok but won´t send most toys etc. Asda doesn´t either and is shockingly expensive anyway. I tried to do an order once and they wanted to charge me ten euros per item! I would welcome any tips others have.

Thanks for the new thread! Just bought the House Boat from Asda, it was on my list for DD.

Margarita I'm in Ireland so often use parcel motel to avail of free uk shipping and then pay for them to deliver to RoI. It exploits the land border with NI but occasionally saves lots on shipping costs.
I know there are companies you can use to order from US and Canadian sites and then ship to EU
Obviously Spain is a different situation entirely but have you looked to see if there are any address/parcel holding companies doing cheaper shipping?
I do sympathise with watching all these lovely bargains flying by.

wentworth have 15% off all their personalised puzzles with the code WPERX17 their puzzles are not cheap but beautiful quality.

RockySpeed I'd love one of those Wonderbky discount codes if they're still available please? TIA

rocky when do they expire? I want to buy DS a Willy Wonka book from Wonderbly but can't do anything till next payday next week if they expire on or after 25th September, I'd like one please

Wonderbly - Get 15% off when you buy more than one product. Use code MULTI15

Someone was asking about Cashmere socks upthread I think. Woolovers has 25% off and there is 9% cashback via TopCashback.

Please can you give me some advice...

I just opened a Very account to get dd's hatchimal and the last of her presents, including more little live pets. Got the 25% off and paying over 3 months. 👍☺️

Dh is planning to open a Very account to get an XBox bundle. Is this the best place for this, does anyone know??

We are also considering the echo & dots. Do we get the echo and dot with a code (for how much???) Or two dots? Would this also qualify for the 25% off?

Thanks!

If any one is after a little rocking horse iv been shopping around and this one in the Asda sale is nice and I think a good price .

rocking horse

Does anyone have an M&S code I could use? Please? Thanks in advance!

Re Echo/Dots- might be worth waiting for Amazon Black Friday as they usually reduce them then- that's when we bought ours last year.

If anyone is after lovely warm Scandi socks I have these, fab quality and super cosy-

Sorry-meant to tag Penguinbeaver in that last post!

Thanks you. Someone posted earlier that we could get the echo and dot for £99 with the code LLW46, but I've just tried it and it doesn't work 😬.

I think I may have misunderstood? The echo and dot come to £129 for both, but no code was required for that.

If you put the echo (which is currently reduced by £50) and a dot in your very basket, it automatically takes another £20 off making it £130 for both. I think the poster who said about getting them both for £100 was meaning that you can then use the new customer code aswell to get the ectra £30 off. I really want to get it and use the dot as a present but DH is grumpy as he was going to get me one for Xmas.

Thanks Changing - we might do that with new account dh is opening... the echo will be my present to him and the dot can go to teenage dd ☺️

Did I miss 25% off at very? I opened an account last year for advent calendars but not used it since. Would love a £20 off a £50 spend or something like that.

At the risk of sounding completely thick .... can someone please explain what an Echo and Dot are. I presume they're something to do with the Amazon Alexa thing??

Oh no, I missed the playmobil hospital. If anyone sees it back in stock at that price please let me know.

MrsGotobed every year I am flummoxed by various items mentioned on this thread! Haven't clue what either a Dot, Echo or Alexa is

Margherita I'm in France and I generally have things delivered to the UK rather than here. Then I pick them up when I go back. We are not spending Christmas in the UK this year so I am doing a special trip back in October to get parcels. Not sure what I will do for deliveries in November/December. Toys are generally more expensive here too with less bargains on offer year round.

@theromanempire - I'm going to order a couple of the Wonderbly books as presents this week and if I get a 15% off voucher/s will PM you one if needed
And obv put the rest on here!

For those of you buying Alexa's echo and dot please look at this articke concerning privacy and this tech.

*article!

Emgee / thanks for that. I am not able to get back to the UK until next August. So frustrating!

Annwithnoe - I hadn´t heard of a parcel holding company before. I shall investigate. Thanks.

If anyone is buying from asda sale, don't forget you can go through topcashback and use it as a chance to get the £3 cashback if spending more than £15.
