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!

This could be a good advent calendar if you wrap the gifts.

Alanamackree I got one from Primark! it was about £7 and holds 2 phone charges, we took it away recently and it out peformed DP's one which was a lot more than that.hes a snob and wont do primark

Strike out fail!

@whereareyousleep try the works wooden boxes they have a few different ones to choose from

Just placed an order at Tinc. They have last years advent calendar in their summer clearance down to £16.80 which is 40% off. Got one for my DD who didn't have it last year so won't know. Lots of cheap stationery bits in their sale too & free delivery over £10 at the mo

Out of stock now Stare

Rip off Smiggle advent calendar purchased for biggest ds, at least I saved on smallest ds's one - toot toot drivers calendar for less than £15 with free delivery through argos clearance on eBay :)

On the lookout for an action cam that can be attached to a scooter now. Saw Vetch one on offer through Amazon but dodgy reviews!

Thanks for the blindbag tip Honeydragon, I've started collecting small pieces already but it's awkward because although we've got just the one boy I absolutely adore advent calendars and we usually end up with five it's not spoiling him as they're for all of us iyswim? I didn't have one as a kid so I'm compensating lol I want to incorporate all the best bits of the expensive calendars I usually buy!

superdrug have a set of real techniques flawless base make up brushes/sponges for £6.99 this week on their star buys things, going to pick one up for my sister and one for me i think as a cheeky reward for myself for doing so well with my shopping

Gutted I missed the tinc calendar in the sale

Alana All my seriously geeky friends reckon that Anker are the best brand for power banks. Depends on how big you want a powerbank to be to carry around and how much power you need but worth looking at some options on amazon and camelcamelcamel as the prices do fluctuate and they do have them as deals of the day sometimes.

@Getoffthetableplease I looked at the Spy Gear one tree otter fatty ave couldn't decide, but Amazon currently have if for £15.89 (£24.99 elsewhere)

FGS "the other day and couldn't decide" no fatty otter or tree (our penguins) involved!

Alana, I've taken a photo of my Belkin now, it really is ace!

@imsorryiasked we got that spygear camera for DS last year and it broke the same day, just stopped working for no reason - don't recommend unfortunately!

I'm fact, I made it a rule not to buy anything electronical so early last year as I didn't have the receipt anymore and couldn't return it...

There were small teepees in Sainsbury’s - in the clearance section not the toy sale (it’s near the freezers in my store) - £35 reduced to £10

Considering this Thomas minis advent calendar, am I right in thinking that it’s a little cheaper than last year? Wondering if anyone’s seen any discount codes for Debenhams or other ways of getting any cheaper? (As an avid bargain hunter it pains me to pay full price for anything and don’t get me started on paying for postage!)

Link fail!! Pic attached!

Thanks for the Grid-It idea. DH is not particularly gadgety but this sounds good for holidays as we are always losing chargers etc. I can't access the link given up thread. Could anyone else give me a link for a decent 'fake' one? I've never bought from Ali Express and I don't like in the UK so can't get to Primark. Thanks in advance!

I have a boden code for £10 off if anyone wants it just pm me.

I got the Thomas mini last year. Asda reduced them to £10 late in the year.

Fiver Friday shark t-shirts on rocket and rose postage will be added I think

Those kids spygear/spynet camerasare £9.99 in homebargains ag the mo!

Lego aleepkng beauty castle lowest £21.79 amazon

*sleeping beauty

Thanks woodwaj for the rocket and rose tip- postage £3.95 for anyone interested as have just ordered for my little boy

@BanoffeePieIsMyFave
Last year I got the Thomas advent calendar from Asda. It started off that price, but by about October/ November it had dropped right down. I’d hang on
