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.

Ohh, I'm back with my people!

Ooh, that playmobil calendar looks great. I have 2 dc that will fight over love that!

Yay- it's real!

Thanks for the Switch advice on the prequel thread

Hooray!
I've started buying already. Paperchase had some great bits in their sale last week...anti tangle peach scented brushes in funky Japanese style packaging, rubbers, pens, note books etc. All sorted for my tween nieces. 😊

Firefly thanks for finishing old thread

Hi folks! Just checking in to my favourite place on mumsnet🎄

Also marking my place: thanks for the thread . Had a fairly rubbish Christmas last year due to illness so am wanting to make lots of memories this year and bargains are a perfect way to start!

Thanks for amazon 3 for 2, got playmobil aquarium (which was already a good deal), Lego Harry Potter great hall and knex. Over £180 of toys for £120. That’s most of dd done for Christmas now and dh will also like the Lego!

For those looking at Lego in the 3 for 2 I would say so compare between Amazon and Argos. Amazon is coming up quite a bit cheaper on price on some of the Lego sets I’m looking at even before the 3 for 2 offer. Thanks for the heads up as definitely got 3 pieces on daughter’s list.

Got a couple of Harry Potter boys in the bargain bin at primary yesterday £3 honey dukes fleece blanket and £1 3 pack of fobby socks. My daughter likes the less mainstream HP references so perfect!

Also got velvet cons in the next size up for my 11 year old for £17.99 from sports direct.

My older kids want fitness trackers/fitbits this year so looking for really good ones for really low price!!

Harry Potter bits lol not boys!

Yay!!! This thread has made me happy.

Thanks Reastie. I live for your bargain threads every year!

Has anyone had a problem with the Amazon 3 for 2 I am at the "buy" button and it's not taking the free item. All 3 items defo qualify! 🤷‍♀️

I think it comes of at checkout @woodwaj

When I click on to the Amazon promotion it keeps giving me a "promotion expired" message - anyone else?

I got "promotion expired" as well

Thanks Rainbow Brite, will have a look in HB for Robert’s sister!!

I get promotion expired too!

It's August, it's absolutely ridiculous to even think about Christmas right now, stop wishing time away... Blah blah blah sorry, couldn't keep up the pretense mince pies for
EVERYONE!!!

After an awful few days, I read through the 2017 thread, then caught up with the previous one I was already on & now here :)

Lovely comforting reading & bargain hunting!

I bought the Harry Potter lego quiditch set when it was released as my ds8 spotted it & said 'Wow, that's going on my christmas list' 😀 it has arrived & is tucked away safely. Bit gutted that i could have done a 3 for 2 but hey ho, you win some you lose some.

Will be watching for bargains & ideas! [santa]

I couldn't get the Amazon 3 for 2 offer to work either, but I did find their Toys Special Offers page which is where they seem to list everything that's on offer, lots and lots of deals available! I've bookmarked it so it's easy to find again
