Afternoon!

In the absence of @SideOrderofChips (I hope you don't mind me jumping in, Chips Flowers ), here's the first bargain prequel thread of this year.

Use this thread to post any bargains you may have until @Reastie comes back in a few months' time! Xmas Grin

@NoWordForFluffy can you link to any of the reduced Lego please? Or has anyone seen any great deals on Lego? I'm looking to spend about £20-£30 on a set and would be nice if it was worth £50+!

Also looking for ideas for a 13yo boy I don't know - budget £10.

@NotPennysBoat (did you find the end of Lost disappointing?!) is there any particular type of Lego you'd like? What's the age and sex of the recipient? I'll have a look for you.

@NoWordForFluffy I'll not hear a bad word said about Lost! Loved it all!

Recipient is 7 year old boy who I don't know very well. I usually spend about £10 on him but his family have been really kind to us this year and I'd like to get him something a bit special!

Playmobil fairies ship with 3 figs reduced from £29.99 to £14 at Amazon when you collect the voucher under the pic. I've just got one for my nearly 4 year olds birthday Smile

I’m sorry- no bargains but am just adding a comment so this comes up in my “threads I’m on”

Penny, I like this one though it's a touch over budget. You can probably get cash back somewhere though, and there can be discount codes floating round. It's selling at the RRP on the Lego site.

Mrschrimbo I did try to look but wasn’t really sure what to search for and got a bit confused by the options! I’ve ordered some nice looking coloured pens from China via amazon today and have a notebook already so might look for some post its or something on eBay and see what I can find.

Thank you to the pp who suggested office outlet. I went in today and bought loads of stuff at 70% and 80% off. A few Christmas gifts sorted. (No I don’t gift ink cartridges by the way, they have loads of craft kits and stationary for nieces and nephews Grin )

Lots of glitter Christmas ribbon, 3metres for 90p, in office outlet. I don’t know if that’s cheap or not? They also have packs of Christmas cards and wrapping paper, Christmas stickers and Halloween stuff.

Star Wars paper aeroplanes book is on offer for £4. I ordered it the other day and it's a good size I'd say. A nice activity to do together for the family.
