Thread 12 - where we hope Black Friday doesn't turn out to just be slightly grey

[FireflyGirl]

@Reastie is obviously busy getting her sprouts on, so I've set up a new thread just to keep us moving.

Previous thread here with Reastie's usual helpful posts.

Remember everyone, it's only a bargain if you need it and check it hasn't been cheaper before/isn't cheaper somewhere else! Happy Thanksgiving

Looking for a groot dressing gown from Argos - anyone know if any stores have them in stock?

@TheGirlWhoLived weeping with laughter

@DillieDoily
Am making advent calendar as well, for 7 year old b/twins
Girl stuff may not all be suitable, as your DD is a lot younger, but it will include

Shopkins
Bath bombs (£1 ones from Superdrug
Lip balm
Lol stickers
Clip on earrings (sets from Claire's that were discounted)
Sqeeze egg thing
Mario figures (set of 18 for about £8, from Ebay) not great quality but DS will love them

They get a present in turns, except for the 1st December, the other one gets a chocolate coin.

And on Christmas Eve they both get a slightly larger chocolate figure

Beaga good suggestions. I bit the bullet and went out and bought a load of miniature whiskies and travel size toiletries. Going to make my own. I am not arty at all but even I can't go wrong with paper bags and pegs

@MinorRSole stockfinder says not available to collect from any store.

at the wanking auntie

@imsorryiasked typical but thanks for checking that - how did you do it?

Has anyone seen the My Busy Books sets anywhere for about £6? The ones that come with the little figures and a playmate. Ideally I'd like Frozen, Trolls, Disney Princesses, Paw Patrol, Ninja Turtles, Superheroes or anything like that.

The only Black Friday "deal" I have purchased is this bluetooth speaker from Amazon. Almost half price at £49.99 and cheapest ever according to CCC. Quite a few family members have one of these and they constantly rave about how brilliant they are. I imagine they are quite 'cool' for teens too, though am many years past having any actual knowledge of what teens like.

@DillieDoily mine love moshi monsters and I just get second hand bundles from eBay quite cheaply. They fit in little advent calendars perfectly. You've probably still got time for that!

@DillieDoily Asda has loads of them. I picked up the Moana one for my DD. I can also remember Paw Patrol, Beauty & the beast, Disney princesses, Shimmer & Shine, Cars, and many others in my local.

Please can somebody explain the Glossybox? I can't seem to find the original post. It looks as though it's sold out? So please how do you get the Karl Lagerfeld for £1?
Thanks to anyone that's got the patience to explain it to me.

Actually, I think I've just found some gloves for DH at M&S - are they still doing the 20% codes? If so, does anyone have a spare one that they could PM me please?

DILLIE I got my niece a paw patrol busy book from TK Maxx, they had frozen as well maybe a couple of Disney ones too. I’m fairly sure I paid £5.99 for it.

If I extend my search radius Milton Keynes have one Groot Robe left again.

Dillie I got a superheroes busy book for £6 from WHSmith here;
www.whsmith.co.uk/products/marvel-avengers-assemble-my-busy-books/9782764324905
They had a few others but they mainly seem sold out now. I bought a few and used code BLACK18 which gets £5 off a £20 spend if that helps you at all.

That MK robe will be the one I reserved and couldn't collect 🙈

Where in the country are you minor?

Scotland 😢 I have family all over but not near Milton Keynes sadly

reckless thank you for Monsoon tip. Several dresses winging their way to me for trying on!

Don’t buy power banks from Poundland. I bought some and none of them worked.

Loving this thread!

Has anyone seen a mini super Nintendo on offer anywhere? Cheapest I can find is £5 off at Smyths making it £65. Holding out for more of a bargain...

Thank you for all the advent calendar and busy book suggestions- this thread is amazing!

dilly Tesco’s definitely have them in the book section -usually two for a tenner or something

Reckless; re Glossybox- I typed in “advent calendar” in the Glossybox site and it came up with the calendar for £99. Added it to my basket. Then typed in “Karl L box” in the Glossybox site and it came up with the Karl Lagerfeld beauty box for £30. Added it to my basket. Then went to ‘my basket’ and it took £29.99 off the Karl L box (now totalling £99.01) finally I typed “FLASH65” in the promo box (either on basket page or checkout page, one of the two but I can’t preceisely remember which), which took the advent calendar down to £65 and totalled £65.01 for the pair!

Sorry if that is completely patronising. My sole job is to look after a toddler all day so I forget how to do grown-up speak

Burgess Hill Argos has a groot robe
