Christmas Bargain Prequel Thread

[SideOrderofSprouts]

I’m late this year!!

But here lies the Prequel thread to run until Reastie comes back in the Autumn :)

Hello everyone, I’ve just made my first Christmas purchases.

LSA half price gin glasses

www.ocado.com/webshop/product/LSA-International-Gin-Balloon-Glasses-Set-Blueberry/408416011?from=shop&tags=212920%7C212912

smelly I'm sure the card factory had similar last year aswell. But once you see it buy straight away as they sell out fast!

Reserved.com update

Although, not much of one. Their response to my e mail asking why my orders were cancelled and how to reinstate them was to explain that my refund will be processed soon. NOT what I asked, or wanted. But at least I know not to every order again or to recommend them to anyone else in future. I'm disappointed because the goods looked lovely, but I will spend my money elsewhere.

@nococonuts thank you! I’m super excited for Christmas now!!

I think the one I got was £8 smellybears but it was a few years ago so give or take a few £

Not Christmas related but figured this is the place to ask! My daughter is adamant she wants a mouse backpack for starting preschool - I can only find Minnie Mouse ones which don't meet her approval...anyone spotted any? TIA

Would this one be big enough ice lemon?

This back pack is adorable but has other woodland animals too

Pay your age day at Build-A-Bear on Thursday looks like a good deal. It's unlikely you could hide/withhold the bear until Christmas but you never know. Seems a good bargain anyway. You need to sign up to the free members club in advance. Full details on their website: www.buildabear.co.uk/brand-about-events.html

spendy but super cute and personalisable with her name

I got a pop up pirate refund straight away. They didn't say why it hadn't arrived.

Further reductions in the JoJo Maman sale including wellies and shoes for less than half price. Some toys left too

Any ideas for an end of year gift for an 11 year old boy I know nothing about? Budget £10.

It’s my 5yo’s school buddy and my 5yo is not being useful about ideas

Exploding kittens £14 down from £28

CarrotVan he'll need plenty of stationery for September, maybe a calculator from the pound shop and some funky pens and pencils?

Carrotvan most kids play fortnite so vbucks would go down well but you'd need to know if he's on Xbox or ps4

carrotvan you could get a keyring for his bag. Fortnite, Minecraft, roblox and 5 nights at freddys are popular among dds friends. Or a book mark/clip on reading light for his book if he likes reading. Some funky headphones - Primark do quite a few.

Carrotvan what about £10 cinema voucher or voucher for ice cream or milkshake place? They could go with their friends over the summer?

@OhHolyFuck thanks for the heads up on Exploding Kittens, I've been back and forth on it for a while, it's now officially my first Xmas present of the year!

Ah, I procrastinated for too long and Exploding Kittens went up to £19.99. Bugger. Maybe it'll drop again!

Ello. Emma Bridge water Christmas mugs are 4.95 each from now

Just bought a job lot of reindeer ones for the kids to give them with hot chocolate for Christmas evening. Might be good for those who endorse Xmas eve boxes too!

Olieandnic have got a sale on at the moment, they were quite good last year for bags and purses, plus you get 10% off if you're a first time buyer.

Managed to get exploding kittens. Hoping it's a good as the reviews say.
Family board game... check😀

There's a big sale on at Portmeirion - some good gifts! www.portmeirion.co.uk/offers-1/clearance.html
