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

For the fluttershy build a bear my little ponies are lovely my dd has one. Think there was a code mentioned up thread to get some discount.

My fingerlings came from France. I'd been on with amazon complaining that they hadn't been delivered- thought the parcel had been sent by relatives in France as they often post gifts from amazon fr. Looks real to me pink panther.

Thanks to that's my santa, I only checked the parcel after seeing your post ;)

There were soft My Little Ponies in home bargains recently, approx £8 but I didn’t notice the colours sorry.

I only realised after tracking mine the other day, Mrsmomo, and seeing it started in Paris. Which explains why it's arrived via DHL!

LOL pets are available on Amazon France if anyone has an LOL loving child. I have just ordered 2.

They also had LOL big surprise in stock when I was looking.

I got some fab hard back books in WHSmith yesterday. All heavily discounted including these two Brian Cox Ones. They had lots of cookery books in the same offer.

Ooh my the fingerling I pre ordered from amazon with an original delivery date of Dec 19th is now apparently coming next week Hopefully that’s true - I had one reserved at Argos that I was meant to be able to pick up Thurs/Fri but that still isn’t in stock.

Just used my o2 priority moments in whsmith to get a nice little Star Wars book for £1 and a free bag of chocolate coins. Unfortunately only managed that one shop before ending up in soft play to keep lo happy (Whose idea was it to take a toddler shopping?!) Any other rl bargains to be found on the high street before we head home?!

DS has announced that he would like a pair of pink crocs. FML!
Has anyone spotted a pair in (adult) size 6 at a bargainous price please?

Finally found a fingerling in Argos today.

I had also reserved 2 this morning in the Swansea city centre store...I have the reservation number and they must be picked up before closing tomorrow. If anyone wants the reservation number please PM me.

If anybody is a Cosmo subscriber you can get their party box for £20 instead of £25.
Thought I'd be cheeky and ask for anyone's code who may not be using please

DM has asked me to get a gift for a 13yr old boy, that is all the information that I have to go on that and a budget of £15. I know absolutely nothing about him, he is son of DMs friend and they've had a tough year so she wants to treat him.

This is out of my normal age range anyway and it's hard having nothing to go on, so can anyone suggest something for 13yr old boy - budget £15

tellme My 12.5 ds would love a nandos voucher as he likes to go with his friends.
Steep on Xbox or PS4 but you probably don't know if he has a console...

Thanks all, it's cos I saw the baby monkey and didn't want anyone to be disappointed on xmas day ☺

tellme I would second a voucher for somewhere like Nando's or can you get a cinema gift card for that price?

Otherwise my DS (12.5) is getting both of these things - both maybe a little more unusual than the standard but maybe that would work across the board no matter what he was interested in?

Galileo Thermometer

Powerball Gyroscope

@cataline not sure if a bargain but pink crocs size 6

@onedayatatime fragrance direct is good for bargainous aftershave. Worth a Google for voucher codes before ordering and checking if they're on top cash back.

@bigarse1 if son not good at reading what about one of those solar systems you hang from the ceiling? Might do the trick. I think I saw that toymaster and Hawkins bazaar had them.

catalineif you aren't after brand name Crocs,then Aldi do pink,fur lined clogs.They are £4.99.

I'm pretty much done, but my DM is searching for a deal on a handheld Dyson, tabletop thing?

@gingerbreadman they are very very cool. he is breaking everything at the moment so I'm wondering how far the hanging one comes down. id love it for him to lay and look at (has very bad bedtimes, been sick 7 times so far tonight) but if it was anywhere within reach he would wreck it. might buy it and see if it says when it arrives. thanks x
