Hi everyone . I’ve been lurking for a while . Going on holiday today though . My summer holiday wouldnt be the same if I wasn’t ordering stuff for Christmas from this thread . It’s become a little tradition now after the last couple of years . Sorry haven’t got anything to add yet but keeping my eyes peeled.

Catanddogmake6 · 27/07/2018 09:34

AllHallows I'm exactly the same. It's summer holiday - well it must be time to be on the Christmas Bargain thread! Yet another really good start to Christmas shopping this year - just today DH has been sent off to Argos to pick up the Ninjago movie maker and a Harry Potter Lego Dimensions set. Sorry nothing to contribute yet.

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 27/07/2018 10:11

Ds would love the Star Wars pop up! He's going through a right phase of it. We've already got the pirate though so am trying to resist...

Am going to pick up a Lego blindbag in the local Argos later so thank you very much for that! Was very close to ordering for party bags but really trying to keep costs down this year.

Almost filled the thread already! I've only been on the threads the last 3 years but can't remember having filled the prequels thread before Reastie's takeover?

Fisher Price Dancin Tunes Mat only £5 in Asda.

SideOrderofSprouts · 27/07/2018 10:44

YuleABUnREASTIEable · 27/07/2018 12:32

I won’t start a new thread until this one’s used up, but we’re getting close!

Got dd a Christmas book for 50p second hand this morning. Doesn’t help anyone else obviously but good for dd!

SideOrderofSprouts · 27/07/2018 12:41

Not strictly Christmas but the next Sainsbury's TU 25% will be 14th August according to HUKD.

I know the lottie Doll Amazon offer has been mentioned up thread but if anyone is looking for more substantial Lottie bits there are some fab bargains. Some things are already 1/2 price but the 40% of works on top. I have just got the tree house, the stables and a horse all for £40!

PurpleTigerLove · 27/07/2018 19:40

Thanks for the Lottie deals , I showed my mum and she got a doll , horse and showjumping outfit for £23 for my nieces birthday . Great bargain !

Just to add in relation to the pop up bb8 game above- remember if ordering anything from the entertainer to sign up to the bday club. You can add up to 10 children- don’t all have to belong to you!! & you get a 20% off voucher 3 weeks before their bday. If you stagger them throughout the year then you would rarely need to pay full price- it’s a single use code but valid on sale items too

NotPennysBoat · 27/07/2018 20:58

Looking for some stocking fillers for little girls (3 & 6) if anyone can help? Especially any recommendations for stuff to occupy them on long journeys!

  • Origami/Sticker Art books?
  • Any recommended hair chalks?
  • Kids travel/neck pillows?

Also, this has just popped up on Facebook, but it's from Wish which scares me! Any idea what they're called so I can google?

They are called sticker pens, loads on Amazon.

YuleABUnREASTIEable · 28/07/2018 06:30

NotPennys I got a hello kitty one of those from the paper chase sale a few weeks ago, might still have them if you happen to go by one.

newsparklythings · 28/07/2018 07:48

Reastie is back!

duckling84 · 28/07/2018 08:17

Seen in-store at Matalan- letter lights reduced from £12 to £4. Perfect to bulk out teen dds teeny tiny but incredibly expensive stash!

NotPennysBoat I got this from Tesco for £4. bloody 50 and dd who is 5 loves it, there are other character ones available as well, Paw Patrol, Peppa, Trolls etc

Kraggle · 28/07/2018 08:44

Also I’ve bought lots of things from Wish with no issues, would tend to just avoid toys/plushies just in case but stationary and costume jewellery has been fine.

Hopskipjumping · 28/07/2018 10:45

Thanks @Kraggle for the suggestion. Bought a few things including the colour wonder books & signed up for newsletter for further 15% off.

deste · 28/07/2018 11:04

fisher price zebra walker £33 down to £14, looks a nice 'big' present. I’ve just looked and it’s £29.90. Was I too late or am I doing something wrong.

Unicornmammy · 28/07/2018 11:09

Ooh xmas!! Placemarking to peruse this later Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 28/07/2018 11:30

Probably too late, deste. Many reductions don't last long.

torthecatlady · 28/07/2018 11:39

@deste It was only reduced for that one day, the next day it went back up.
