2019 Christmas bargains thread 1

Jingle those bells because it’s time for thread 1!

The aim of this thread is to share ideas for Christmas bargains and present ideas and a little bit of Christmas chat etc. I’ll try my best to do a post with the most popular links, if there’s anything specific you’d like me to add or if something I’ve put up doesn’t work please let me know in bold . Thank you

As usual no affiliate links (I’m still not exactly sure what they are but consensus was not to have them) and if we have any sites to post personal sign up links we’ll do this on a separate thread so all can post their links, I’ll do this when —I get around to it— soon.

@Topbird29 Have a look at Hotter for supportive slippers.

Herat1986 · 20/08/2019 19:17

Anyone know where I can get matching parent child pyjamas - not Christmas ones specifically - that don't cost the earth? X

NoWordForFluffy · 20/08/2019 19:21

eBay usually has a number, @Herat1986. If they're from China, size up though!

Ginandsonic · 20/08/2019 19:22

Just been on Sue Ryder charity website as I was after another of their dolls houses but it seems they've stopped doing them Sad
But they do have a sale which includes some Xmas cards and decs etc.
I particularly like this Advent House and this (not in the sale) Llama doorstop.

MsMiaWallace · 20/08/2019 21:17

I just £10 off with Hype when you spend £25.
They have a new pay system called veloop. Pay through this & you can use the code HYPE10.

Just got DS x2 pairs of joggers. Delivered £22!
Joggers in sale anyways but are around £30 each normally.

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 20/08/2019 21:33

Those le toy van budkin figures they have had in for about 2mths and keep getting different ones I have quite alot ready now for a guft to nursery when ds leaves in a couple of weeks. Sure the rrp is around £6/7 each on them!!

For those who are looking at the Argos clearance, the items that are shown on the site but are out of stock everywhere appear to be available in the outlet stores of which I think there 5 in the UK. We have one near us called Clearance Bargains that has loads of bits and pieces that I’ve seen as out of stock on the clearance pages eg Playmobil.

DarkHumour · 20/08/2019 22:37

@HeartshapedFox Thanks for the character.com link. 5 pairs of kid’s pyjamas, 1 T-shirt and a lovely Paddington Bear backpack for just over £25!

Spend over £25 to get free delivery and sign up to their mailing list to get 10% off your first order.

Redwinestillfine · 20/08/2019 22:46

Scruffalicious · 21/08/2019 00:05

Rex London (used to be DotComGiftShop) sale section. Good for stocking fillers!

buckeejit · 21/08/2019 00:38

@Luxplus thanks - though I've just spent £35 instead of about £10 to get free delivery. Every year I say I won't do this....

We were never a romantic couple. Post-kids any pretence we had at romance has GONE!

I could tell you a story about a lost tampon and a head torch. But won't!

Toomanycats99 · 21/08/2019 10:26

Funko pop fortnite and Harry Potter advent calendars now on pre order at Smyth's.

HeartshapedFox · 21/08/2019 10:32

@DarkHumour You’re very welcome! I was a bit suspicious of the site at first as it’s so cheap, but I’ve ordered from them loads of times now and they’re always great.
Also love your user name, I feel we have much in common Grin

Can anyone recommend any weird or wonderful kitchen gadgets for DH stocking? He was thrilled with the lime green silicon pastry brush I popped in for a joke last year.

I thought this "We love our Grandad" frame would be cute to pop a photo of my DDs with their DGD a nice token gift for £2.81 + free delivery here

PandaAtTheZoo · 21/08/2019 12:02

Can anyone recommend any good Christmas eve boxes?

recklessgran · 21/08/2019 12:14
