@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 Xmas Wink

Free diffuser if you spend £40 at neom. I just opened one of their pine & eucalyptus diffusers that I got in Tk maxx last year reduced to £3!!! & it's lovely. Love their candles too.

Keep treating myself instead of others! 30% off ABH palettes, (Modern Renaissance is amazing). Dh has ordered me the soft glam one. Also got the glossy box deal Shock

Thanks @YahBasic

I finally managed to find a free delivery code for Studio that works. 040.

Lots of bargainous wrapping paper and a storeage bag ordered. I hate Studio with a passion, but with free delivery it would be rude not to.

Does anyone here love Studio?

@ReindeerPoop my big m&s has a whole huge section of animal onesies and they look lovely quality x

Ewock Argos is you friend. Great deals on Lego Ninjago but they're for BF so hurry. All the top 4 or 5 at least are great deals. May have twitched.

For anyone who has bought the Hobbycraft gingerbread house what on earth do you fill it with?? I’ve just taken it out to paint it, planning on giving it to my 3 to share. The drawers are tiny!

Anyone any thoughts on tiny fillers other than chocolate?

thaegumathteth · 25/11/2018 21:33

@cheekyfucker just to make you aware the studio paper is often only 50cm wide.

imsorryiasked · 25/11/2018 21:33

@Carrie76 we have a lucky dip bag with three colour counters in the drawers and corresponding wrapped gifts in the bag. If there are things you don't want them to pull out until last then just don't put them in the bag!

CheekyFucker · 25/11/2018 21:40

@thaegumathteth yep. Had it before. I prefer the narrower stuff.

Carrie76 · 25/11/2018 21:41

@imsorryiasked genius!!!! Thank you so much that’s exactly what I’ll do Smile

woodwaj · 25/11/2018 21:50

@iheartkingthistle I usually find what I want from not on the high street then Google the seller. 9 times out of 10 they are cheaper direct as it cuts out the middle man!

IHeartKingThistle · 25/11/2018 21:54

@woodwaj yes me too, Literary Emporium seems to be the exception to that!

LutherRalph1 this is completely left field I know and depends completely on his personality and interests but have you seen the stuff about boxing for Parkinson's? Could you get him some boxing gloves or a session at a local boxing gym (after speaking to them first?) Feel free to completely ignore!

Thanks to those who helped with the Amazon pantry deal. For some reason on my mobile the banners weren't showing.

Ewock · 25/11/2018 22:09

Margaritasbythesea thank you

Lovemusic33 · 25/11/2018 22:13

Ewok I think smiths have a ninjago Lego set on offer but I think the offer ends tonight. Amazon did have some on offer too.

SimplyPut · 25/11/2018 22:38

Thanks for the monsoon stacking code... I got several bargains!

sepsisandAKI · 25/11/2018 22:45

Does anyone know a good place to buy brown parcel wrap? Was thinking of trying wrapping some presents this way for a change.

Elphaba17 · 25/11/2018 23:27

Very have the joules coast jacket in navy and red for £55.

FrederickCreeding · 25/11/2018 23:31

Ooh, the lucky dip advent calendar idea is genius! I think I will have to borrow that. I've been pondering what else to put in my refillable ones.

Tiggles · 26/11/2018 00:04

I have bought the gravitrax for ds for Christmas when it dropped to just over 20. I was surprised at how big /heavy the box is. Actually feels like it might be worth the money.

WardrobeDoor · 26/11/2018 00:17

Just booked my Xmas Tesco food shop which has made me very happy

HoneyDragon · 26/11/2018 00:49

OMG for 50% off Claire’s. Works bargainously with the buy 2 get 2 free. Just checked.

Asj0405 · 26/11/2018 01:07

Kano Harry Potter coding wand kit reduced to £79.99 on Kano website. I have also posted a link on referral thread here if you find the link and order through the we both get a £10 Amazon gift card.

Wilko have several small Blox sets half price, starting from 50p, which would make good stocking fillers or even for homemade advent calendars and crackers. This is their own brand building blocks compatible with Lego. It receives mixed reviews but seems good for younger children or as stand alone presents (ie not mixed with Lego).

They also have a Blox advent calendar with 25% off and a giant Blox cracker (full price at £5).
