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.

@coldilox www.justhype.co.uk/search/?q=SpongeBob this site often has old SpongeBob stuff in their sales. Only full price t shirts today but I got DD a backpack and swim bag from here very reasonably priced in the sale.

Oooo place marking - thanks

This is going to be dangerous. We've massively decluttered this year.

I can't just buy a load of Christmas bargains to replace it all.... can I...? i can

Thank you for the Waterstones link, got my older brother some Star Wars bits for Christmas. Xmas Smile

Swishy I find tkmaxx great for toys etc, worth a look especially their clearance stuff.

Itsbritney that’s one good haul for less than five squid!

Just ordered the playmobil roman arena, this read is making me spend too much!

I’m really looking forward to seeing the magpie order, wonder how long it’ll take to arrive.

I think Magpie have suddenly experienced a surge in orders, so we may have slowed them down a bit!

I'm resisting the Romans. We still have a load of Imaginext taking up room here!

princessbear80 · 09/08/2018 07:09

Have now caught up and ordered some gifts from Waterstones along the way. Thank you, great ideas here!

@Coldilox

I don't know where you are but there is a nickelodeon shop in Leicester Square and sure they had stuff ......

Wait4nothing · 09/08/2018 07:35

On I’m going RL shopping today so will keep my eyes peeled for bargains!

Madonnasmum · 09/08/2018 07:39

Just bought the Playmobile Roman. Big thanks to whoever posted. As usual I missed the original post and just turn into a sheep once I hear everyone else getting it!

Coldilox · 09/08/2018 07:50

Toomanycats I'm in Manchester unfortunately.

SparklingXmas · 09/08/2018 08:22

Thanks to the poster re- Argos.

This thread saves me a fortune every year! Grin

BadgerFace · 09/08/2018 09:09

DD1 wants a Schleich horse advent calendar this year. In prior years I’ve always managed to get her a half price playmobil one for £10 so I’m slightly balking at £25 for a Schleich one... Does anyone know if the Schleich ones drop in price at some point or should I just bite the bullet now?!

Girlsworld92 · 09/08/2018 09:18

Completely late to the party but thanks for the magpie link. Although I want to buy everything on the sale page! . I have to buy xmas pressies for customers. Last year got them chocs but going for the tall tins. £2 each & seasonal imo. Thank you. Following this thread with interest now.

SheStoodInTheStorm · 09/08/2018 09:30

Think I need to scroll back and find magpie! Feel like I'm missing out! Grin

Coldilox · 09/08/2018 09:39

Thankyou gruffalo! I just bought that as an extra birthday present for him!

CarrotVan · 09/08/2018 09:43

Also got a Playmobil Roman Arena waiting for me to collect

Just placemarking before I finish reading the thread

Thanks firefly for the makeup organiser perfect for my sister. Shame it was only black but that's probably better as it won't show the makeup stains so much 😂

Those looking at the new Polly pockets shopkins are releasing a range that's v similar called lil secrets - there's lockets, playsets and dolls that come with mini polly pocket sized ones. I'm currently waiting for deals as dds love shopkins and little toys! They disappeared from Argos during the 3 for 2 😣

Now off to carry on reading these fab bargains 😁

lurkingattheback · 09/08/2018 09:46

I'm always thinking practical. I've found a couple
If bargains here. thegrowingtree.shop/. I love the drugs dresses.

lurkingattheback · 09/08/2018 09:47

Frugi definitely not drugs!!

CarrotVan · 09/08/2018 09:48

For jewellery I got some from here last year for my niece and they were very nice

newsparkly if it's not too late. I'm a nursery nurse and where i work we would love pretty stationary - different coloured pens, post it's, little pocket sized notebooks. As we are always taking notes for observations and often buy our own. Pretty stationary is always nicer to use 😁 or as said before nicer tea/biscuits for the tea box is always appreciated.

blitzen · 09/08/2018 10:00

Thanks to the poster who recommended Lisa Angel's sale (which is no longer on). Managed to get a load of bargains before it ended.

oneofthose · 09/08/2018 11:03

I accidentally put two identical orders through with magpie as I didn't get a confirmation of the first one.
I emailed them to cancel one and they responded and did it straight away.
Great customer service Smile
