Thread 18 - Remember, it's only a bargain if you need it or will use it, otherwise it's still a waste of money

[Reastie]

Welcome one and all, see post two for links.

Any referral links to go on this separate thread please

I’ve just had a Lands End catalogue through with a code for £15 off a £60 spend. Code is GIFT15 and ends 19th December. Hope that’s useful to someone!

(Doesn’t say anything about single use and was just printed on the front of the catalogue so I assume lots of people can use it)

Thanks someaddedsugar

I’m going rl shopping tomorrow and wondered if there are any good deals in the shops to look out for? Im

I am desperately looking for a padington bear from m&s but I don’t think I will get one, is anywhere else selling them?

Hi just wondering if anyone can help. I got my daughter an Our Generation doll for Xmas, but she has fallen in love with the unicorn onesie for the Design a friend doll range. Does anyone know if they fit or not? Anywhere that sells the OG outfits other than Smyth's please

Lovemusic - you’re probably nowhere close to it, but a few weeks ago we were in Rye, East Sussex and there was a small independent toy shop that had a whole window full of Paddingtons.

Mammy Dd has OG doll and I previously read that DAF are slimmer so some clothes don't fit. OG clothes available from OG U.K., Smyths, Debenhams & Amazon

I’m not near Sussex, maybe I will see one in a different shop tomorrow, I know amazon have a some if I get stuck, I’m hoping I can still get the book from m&s, I wanted it for dd’s Christmas Eve box as I have got her sister the carrots and book from Aldi.

Waterstones are selling some lovely Paddingtons. They are £17 but worth it considering how nice they are.

Smyths and sainsburys both have Paddington teddies x

Thanks @batbear you are very sweet. Think I just need a kick up the bum tbh. I know what to get dd1 now (she listed stupidly expensive make up) I just need to actually order it. Stuck for dd2 (nearly 11) and not a clue for dh's 40th or Xmas. Actually feel like running away until the new year. We have his party in 2 weeks and I haven't even been able to get out of bed, never mind get anything sorted for it. This year is starting to be the worse yet sorry I will stop moaning now, bringing down the tone of the thread!

@mammyaroundmadness dd3 has an American girl doll and an our generation doll. She has a onesie from design a friend which does actually fit (it doesn't have feet). Design a friend are a lot slimmer but the clothes just fit a bit tighter. Daf shoes don't fit the others at all though as their feet are a lot smaller too.

I've received an email from L'occitane for 20% off next purchase if anyone wants it? Doesn't seem to be a minimum spend.

I will check Waterstones tomorrow, I don’t have a smyths or Sainsbury’s near by.

Wow, thanks so much to all who helped with Magniband info and pics! They look as dinky as I'd imagined so will hopefully fit into the tins I have in mind...

Not a bargain as such but I now have 2 spare Haribo advent calendars if anybody is looking for one? I can post them tomorrow if needed

Not a bargain as such but HOW CUTE?!! I just bought this for my niece off groupon and am totally in love. They have a black cat and a red fox too but this is my fave. Might be an idea for something a bit different for little girls? Almost forgot...was £10 something delivered. I’ve excitedly shown all my family and my 11 yr old son was very underwhelmed, DP laughed and called me a div, so thought you lot might appreciate it at least!

I got £5 off with one of the Argos codes posted on the other thread - thank you very much.

I passed a card factory today. I bought this box for £1.79 and it fits the Emma Bridgewater mug perfectly. It's taller than needed but I might add some tissue paper/chocs

Argument Aversion that´s a cute hat. Can I ask what it was described as?

Can someone link to the miband, the only ones I can see are £28 on Amazon, is this the right one?

margarita if you search for ‘animal hat’ you should find it. There are three different types. I love it-just hope she’ll wear it! My sis thinks she will so fingers crossed!

Thanks I found it.

Thornton's have 3 for 2 and free delivery at the moment.

If you buy 3 Snowmen or reindeer and use the code VC15 you'll get them for £10.20 instead of £12.00. They come with free personalisation too.

I have one for DD, one for DS and one for me and DH to share! ⛄️

Lovemusic the pop-up Paddington book was half price (£12.50) on the Harper Collins website yesterday. It was also £20 on Amazon so either option would be cheaper than M&S or Waterstones which both have it for £25 full price
