So we're nearly there now, I'm counting down on one hand the number of sleeps!

Still time to post info on Christmas bargains but I'd also love to hear how the gifts you got went down on the big day and also share notes on sale finds

HAPPY CHRISTMAS,!!!

Thanks Madonna, just ordered a couple for the present cupboard!

NoWordForFluffy · 27/01/2018 19:25

I just ordered 9 items for £18, so thanks, Madonna.

Thanks shakalakababy. Got the Chinese wok and paella dish for £12.50.

Also thank Madonna picked up the car, crane and catapult today and even the shop assistant commented on how good they looked for that price

HI, do you have a link for the tile set please, I can't seem to find it!
Thank you

Thanks, will keep an eye on it :)

YuleABUnREASTIEable · 01/02/2018 13:20

They have various books 3 for £10 on Amazon atm if anyone is thinking of stocking up.

OhRex · 01/02/2018 21:19

That screenshot has the offer still visible Agnes and tulipz - see the box that says 'buy one, save 40%'.....

AgnesBrownsCat · 01/02/2018 23:28

The screenshot is from the day I bought it and sent a screenshot to my friend. Sorry .

OhHolyFuck · 03/02/2018 18:26

(We'll know who's on the Christmas threads now when your kid gets one of these for their birthday! It's the Christmas version of the mn scarf!)

NoWordForFluffy · 04/02/2018 09:46

Xmas Grin That's true...I got loads of them!

GinAndSonic · 04/02/2018 13:38

Does anyone use Wish? I know a few people here use AliExpress. Any recommendations or things to avoid from either?

wornoutboots · 05/02/2018 12:57

have ordered (on click and collect) one of each of the stanley things from Halfords, thanks!

Helpotron3000 · 05/02/2018 22:10

GinAndSonic avoid any complex electronics, they don't often work. Clothes are hit and miss too

FireflyGirl · 08/02/2018 17:53

The sale has started at character.com - PJs from £1.95. Free delivery over £25 and it's not hard at those prices!

Just bought for all my friends' kids - 18 pairs of PJs and 3 t-shirts for £65. Really can't argue with that. I always size up, but the kids I buy for are all tall.

Iwannasnack · 09/02/2018 12:36

Ahh found you all. My present cupboard is looking empty and I realised it’s because I haven’t been on these threads since Christmas.
Does anyone know when the next Tu 25% off will be?

wornoutboots · 09/02/2018 13:10

Got my Halfords Stanley kits, they are all age 5+ in case anyone wonders!

LostMyRubySlippers · 09/02/2018 13:24

I think next TU 25% starts on 13th Feb- so next week! Can’t remember where I read this though sorry!!

NoWordForFluffy · 09/02/2018 17:22

Melissa and Doug cuddly pug for £10.00

FireflyGirl · 09/02/2018 18:29

I heard 13th as well, LostMy.

Iwannasnack · 09/02/2018 19:49

Brilliant. Thanks lostmy and firefly I will hold out until next week. I also bought the Stanley kits. Massive bargain!

YuleABUnREASTIEable · 10/02/2018 06:21

Thanks for the tu info, might be good to get a world book day costume ready for March as well.

FireflyGirl · 10/02/2018 23:13

WIBU to recycle last year's costume, if it still fits? He's only 3 and nobody at nursery saw it last year! That would be lazy parenting in the spirit of bargain hunting, right?

NoWordForFluffy · 11/02/2018 07:09

YADNBU, Firefly. If mine deign to dress up, they're going in the single dressing up outfit they already own!
