Hi all

Was about to post about a bargain and saw thread 2 is at 999, hoping to post a link to this as 1000, wish me luck!

Thank you ponder I wanted a tee pee for DD1 but has been finding it hard to find one for less than £80!

The smiggle calendar does look a bit rubbish, I must be the only person who doesnt love Tinc, bought a few things from there and had issues with them and the products are just not as good imo. Thinks like the smelly pencils arent at all smelly. I might have had a bad experience!

Got the Thomas mini train blind bags in Tesco today for 56p God for stockings or general bribery 😀

A couple for the Irish bargain hunters ☘️

Art n Hobby have lego mini figures Series 18 for €3.99 or 3-4-2. Not a spectacular saving but best I’ve spotted so far.

Easons have 24 sharpies for €14.99 half price

Mr Price have plush zipper poke ball with pikachu for €9.99 like this

And a Science Museum Detective Lab for €9.99 that looked like fun.

Anyone with Teens wanting fancy make up. Bobbi Brown have 20% off everything. Only 1 day left tho.

For the poster who was looking for a space book the Dara O Briain book beyond the sky was a big hit with DD age 11 last year.

Whistlefish have currently got 15 christmas cards on sale for £8 - and if you order 30 cards or more you get a free tin to put them in.

They're nice quality cards - I've used them having first heard about them on this thread several years ago and would cost about a pound each if you buy them individually.

Exploding kittens has just dropped to £14.99 on Amazon. Great game for kids and adults.

nickdrake - Tinc not popular in this house either - but then again I´m not keen on Dobble so you might not want to be in my gang.

Thank you for exploding kittens ! Been wanting it for ages for my dn🐱

Oh I didn't realise tinc was shit. Dd has had some bits from there from her teacher before and really liked them. Now I don't know what to do. Maybe I should just get the smiggle one!

Can't believe that mum suggested a PS4 game as a present!!

I need cheap (but nice) presents as I am so out of money...but don't even have the money for those! DD birthday and Christmas are going to be tight this year.

Is tinc like smiggle? I've never heard of it but if it's cheaper than smiggle I'm may be interested.

Those Christmas cards are lovely! I don’t need lots and lots of cards, so being able to select ones I want individually will be great - thanks so much!

Had anyone ordered from The Range before? They have quite a lot of bargains in their Clearance but delivery seems to be £3.95, which eats into the savings.

Got some of these in Wilko today- road base plate from their fake Lego range. Reduced to 50p each in the sale

DS was 8 at the weekend and got some TINC stationary it was heavily scented he loves it and I had no idea it was posh stationary til we went in John Lewis.

Up to 70% off at Frugi. Looks like things are selling fast.

Anyone got any suggestions for a 2 1/2 year old girl (I only mention girl as she's very girlie, loves dress up dollys etc).

I'm a little stuck as she has lots of things, and as a second child what she doesn't have her sibling does 🤯

I've ordered from The Range before - ordered at 8.30pm and it arrived at 10.30am - was very impressed at the speed. Also website sells things the store doesn't. Their art materials and stationery are good value.

Aldi getting good kids musical instruments in.
Is a guitar a good idea for a 7 year old? Lol

Halfords had scooters down to £45 from £80 and lots of small bikes well reduced. The guy working there said they were clearing out before new Xmas stock arrives

DD doesn´t like the style of the Tinc stuff.

Glad others are at the PS4 game and it´s not just that I am tight.
