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 :)

Massive bargain - playskool transformers rescue bots headquarters
Down from £50 to £15!

Wow that's great @OhHolyFuck! Ds1 would have LOVED that last year. Tempted for this year but will hold off as I'd only be buying it as a bargain.

If anyone sees that cardboard colour in castle at a good price could you let me know please? DD Just said she'd like to colour in a castle, not knowing that such a thing exists!

@NoWordForFluffy try Hobbycraft for colour in houses/rockets etc

They're £17 on there. I'm sure they were available really cheap from somewhere the other year. I don't recall where though!

They had them in Aldi recently?

noword I'm not sure where you've seen the castle already but have a look in aldi; I bought one for £7 a few weeks ago.

Ooh. Thank you (both!).

If you can't get one there. Hobbycraft have it half price quite regularly.

What age are the small EB mugs suitable up to please, can anyone suggest a top end?

Only have a few hours left but the works have half price squishies today.

Bought two EB mugs for my auntie I completely forgot how much she loves them till I was FaceTiming her today. She adores them, but never buys anything for herself, so she just has two.

Now she has four more I may have gone overboard.

The Aldi one is sold out online (and claims to be online only). I'll keep checking Hobbycraft though, thank you.

Did anyone go to build a bear? I walked past one today and the line was insane!

No, we didn't have time to go. Thankfully!

I was planning to go, had a few other things I needed to get from nearby shops anyway, but the queue was ridiculous. It was 4 hours apparently, which is a lot better from some stores from what I've seen online!

I saw a video on Facebook and there must have been a thousand people waiting for it. Insane

We didn't go, but it was in the news that the one near us had closed the queue by 10.30. It was crazy!

Thanks for the Ollie and Nic tip - my handbag is falling apart so I need a new one to save me being poked in the leg by a metal bit whenever I walked. I hadn't seen any I liked but bought a lovely one from there!

Thanks for all the tips so far! Just ordered a load of stuff from Lisa Angel and Rex London, no idea who for but I'll work that out later... Also picked up some reduced Christmas tea bags in whittards earlier, £1.75 down from £5 I think it was. They also had tins of loose Christmas tea, all with good dates.

Ooh. I also found a bag on Ollie and Nic. I actually found 3 I like, but managed to just buy 1. Plus a ditsy shopper each for DM and DMiL. And I've failed to buy a bag for over a year as I've never found the right one!

Oh, and an extra 10% off as a new customer too.

For any M & S Sparks card holders, I had an email from them today offering a free piece of jewellry. No purchase necessary. There was a choice of earrings or a bracelet. Might make a nice stocking filler.

We went into town after school I hadn't checked social media so had no idea build a bear was so busy.... the girls were disappointed for a whole 5 seconds until I promised them a mcflurry instead 😂

Amazon have loads of enchantimals on offer. The house is down to £23.99 and dolls £5.99 each.

I picked up unicorn hair chalks in Poundland today which will make a good stocking filler :)

Thanks @thesoo that's a set of earrings for my daughters stocking.

No email from me from sparks. I mustn't use it enough 😥
