Christmas Bargain Thread 1

[Reastie]

Welcome all to the 2018 Christmas bargain threads. Once it gets underway I’ll start compiling some of the main links to put in the next thread, if you have a link you’d like me to stick in please let me know.

Placemarking here. I'm looking for toot toot driver sets and role play outfit set for a dd age 4. But I live in Denmark so it need to be from a place that ship to here.

Thanks hoop, I’ll be picking up the Romans tonight!
If you sign up to the birthday club on the playmobil website, you get a 20% discount voucher (single use I believe, and only valid with playmobil.co.uk) on your child’s birthday - came in very handy last year with my two having autumn/winter birthdays! They service is excellent, and every time I’ve ordered I’ve had a free gift - a figure with accessories and dvd. They will also email the list of discontinued/broken box toys which are typically 50% off

@Coffee thank you

@OhHolyFuck, I think they have a Robin stocking at The Christmas Boutique but my shoddy internet won't let me search right now

(There's also a beautiful robin one at The Owlery Prints on Etsy but it's not really a bargain!)

@ipswichwitch have playmobil had their broken box sale this year yet?

Looking for a playmobil or Lego advent calendar. We have the Santa farm one and I have two girls so some they're not as interested in

The Argos clearance has added some more Lego and a few other bits and bobs. Worth checking out as there are some good deals

For those looking for Sylvanian Family, these were in TK Maxx today for £4.99

All different ones

GirlWithTheYellowHat waterstones had a couple of playmobil advent calendars, can't remember which ones but they were £10 in their sale.

Great thread!

Thank you hoopdeloop just ordered the Romans set for DS6 - he'll love it :) x

hoop, there has been a broken box/discontinued sale but I’ve had an email every 2-3months with a list of what’s available, so there will probably be another soon. Sign up for their newsletter and you’ll get the email too, just get in quick as there may only be one of a particular item available!
Just picked up my Romans and the box is massive! Excellent for £10.99

@ipswichwitch, I’ll get straight on the list!

Glad so many have got the set, will pick mine up later and attempt to hide it from DS!!

DDU(TM) Charming Women's Sterling Silver Ear Hoop Earrings Ear Stud
by L-FENG-UK

Price: £0.17 & FREE delivery

These have arrived. Not tested the claim to be silver (they're a gift so I can't wear to see if they cause my allergy to kick in)

But for the price they're worth a shot, and they look really nice.

That playmobil Roman set mentioned upthread is available from Irish Argos stores for €13.99 here
Not quite as good a price but still a bargain.

hoop thanks for the heads up on Romans have it ordered

ipswich I am registered on the website but don't get the seconds email do I need to tick another box ?

Looking forward to the bargains I managed to get the playmobil fire engine on last year's thread

Purple I don’t remember ticking an extra box when I signed up. I’d drop them an email to make sure you’re on that mailing list. I’ll post on here when I get the next one

Argos have a couple of Lego Technic sets for a good price on their clearance.

For anyone wanting to do short links but not sure how:-
It’s double square brackets start and finish like this

paste your link and then leave a space and then write what you want to call it

Ps don’t leave a space between the brackets and pasting your link I had to or it would have turned the above into a link 🙄

But all links are great long or short 😄

Lots of My Little Pony things in Home Bargains today, including the £60 pack of Power Ponies for only £20!

@CoffeeAndEnnui thank you! I looked at that briefly but was put off by the segways! Will take another look.

Another one still subscribing to Red magazine and Good Housekeeping from the previous years threads. And I still have some of the dandruff shampoo they sent as a gift, since they ended up sending me 3 sets instead of 1.

Thank you for the magpie link, I think my GP sister is going to get a work mug with lungs on!

Find Me a Gift has 10% off £30 (code SAVE10), 15% off £40 (code SAVE15) and 20% off £60 (code SAVE20). The discount should work on sale items too.

Use discount code I7O2TI3N To get this wireless bluetooth microphone/speakers for £12.99 - RRP is inflated at £89.99 but currently listed at £25.99 so not a bad saving.
