[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.

Place marking. This thread is my saviour every year.

You guys found some amazing things for my family last year so I'm placemarking too...

Got my first christmas bargain today, the Ozbozz light burst scooter in my local Tesco today for £10.50. No ticket on shelf so lucky that we used the scan as you shop to check the price!

Red and white version, the tesco websote says they no longer stock it, so may be an in store bargain sadly.

The pink and white one is on argos for £39.99 with some good reviews so hoping my daughter will love it.

Ooo they are a wonderful idea thank you rosie
I've got some of these www.temptationgifts.com/product/east-of-india-penguins-strung-bags-xmas in different sizes for stockings and the dcs presents. Saves so much wrapping!

@duckling84 thanks for the cat in the hat bargain - always buy our son books so first present done!

Checking in as the summer birthdays are now over so I’m on full countdown Thanks!

Have just bought the snitch bracelet so thanks for the tip (as well as a whole bunch of other cheap jewellery bits for the dc's advent calendar).

Thank you Reastie! Had such a great time on these threads last year, very excited to be back with you all :)

Oh hello my favourite thread of the year! How many years have you been doing this service to the mumsnet nation now Restie?

woodwaj I bought the Lego Junior fire engine set in a case from a mention on this thread last year, it's perfect for age five and it has a motorcycle and fire engine with a wagon thing attached. I highly recommend it and maybe Amazon will have it cheap again this year?

Wow, some great bargains on the Kite website, especially with the extra 20% off (love their things so got loads for son and and pressies for others) - thanks weebarra!

Must get organised for my bags for the advent calendar. Boys...11 and 6. Ideas?

Ooh but I did get my first present today cotton pjs £5 at Primark

woodwaj particularly bargainous sets are 60171 (£7.00) and 60136 (£12.50) both are vehicle ish.

Thanks lilmad I think I know what you mean. Was it a red or blue case?

Literally the only reason I'm on Mumsnet! Excited already! Lol

Another placemark here. I bought loads of stuff last year that you guys found so don't want to lose you.

All these less-than-£1 earrings etc on Amazon make quick and easy teacher gifts, btw..... I try to have a few pairs here in case (staff members have been leaving fairly frequently at my kid's school...)

Woohoo! I'm very excited for this again this year [santa]

Placemarking.

Someone was asking about the robot wars toys. If you go through hexbug site and sign up to their news letter you can get 30% off! I saved a fortune

This must be about year 5 or 6 of the threads I reckon, seems to get more popular every year!

Place marking, first Christmas where I need to buy for 2 children so starting early. Gutted I missed the Amazon 3 for 2 though..

I’ve bought quite a few stocking bits and pieces in The Works for £1 and £2.

Ohh I’m excited. On a very small list this year (Just had dc2) as our house is full!
Trying to cut down on people we buy for too (just getting a kids if other family have them) so only 7 adults and 2 kids and a dog (along with our 2 kids and dog). Not buying each other but bought tickets to see a comedian next year.
First on my list is balls for Ball pit (that I got in the summer sale) for less than £5 for 100 (standard price) but would rather in store than online. That’s going to be baby’s ‘big’ present and will hopefully be less than £10 all in!

As if I wasn't excited enough for Christmas (is it too early to crack out the Christmas cds?) it's the third year I have followed these threads and they make me excited for Christmas!
