2019 Christmas bargains thread 1

[Reastie]

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.

Thanks for the dust & things site. Perfect for a wedding gift I need to buy. If you sign up to the newsletter you get a free key ring too.

The llama is for a 19 year old with learning difficulties, she saw an advert (or YouTube?) and was hysterical laughing at it, she loved it! She's watched it over and over but then she's forgotten about and not asked since that day, so I really want to get it for her because she will be really excited to see that it's real. Her mum is fine with it, if it makes her happy she'd have baby shark played at full volume on a continuous loop!

It's certainly not something I'd inflict on a family without checking first!

Hoping to get it for a good price, but not sure it's going to reduce at all

Thanks for the tip about the Sue Ryder Advent cottages. Mine arrived and it's lovely! Really excited to fill it, particularly as it has the four big drawers as well as the little ones.

It sounds perfect then! I hope you find a good price for it, and that she loves it

Thank you for the ecookshop link. I just bought three lovely baubles as gifts.

Not sure if this is just Ireland but Sylvanians beechwood hall half price on littlewoods.

Also the LOL Glamper.....5 year old has decided she wants it...... any reviews???

Not sure whether it helps anyone but I've just passed a Smiggle shop that had a sign outside advertising a discount for multiple buys of the advent calendar - I think if you buy 4 you get 20% off - might help if 4 people wanted it on here and could post on to each other?

For anyone who lives in Durham, Shincliffe garden centre always have baubles and Christmas decs similar to those on eCook shop and reduce them at the start of the December and they're always at bargain prices. I usually buy them as gifts for grandparents.

Smyths has all kind of discounts. Worth a look.

I'm sure I saw the twerking Llama on sale in Matalan? Worth checking. I think I looked at it in horror for a little while hoping my LO wouldn't ask for it...

I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but there are some lovely reduced bits on the Piccalilly site, including some organic cotton baby things with robins on. Great if you have any babies coming this Christmas!

Also, August10 gets you an additional 10% off your order at Piccalilly, including sale prices. I've just ordered some things for a friend who's due at Christmas.

Thanks so much for the Piccadilly link - a cousin is having a baby just before xmas and I was able to get a very cute little outfit!

Twerking llama?! That’s got to be a thread title!

booty shaking llama £19.49 on amazon with free delivery

Have I made the first proper thread title ?!?! #ThreadGoals #HaveIPeakedTooEarly #TwerkingLlama

The Joules eBay outlet have 24% off this weekend - I've just bought this jumper for under £19 with free p&p - saved about £5 vs the Joules website. The discount is applied automatically.

I reckon so, @TellMeItsNotTrue! Congratulations!

Placemarking. I have a 2.5 year old and 1 year old 🙂

Poundtoy.com have a bank holiday sale on some items 1p 5p 10p or 20p as well as the usual clearance items reduced.

Embroidered purse/clutch bag on amazon for £1.81. Reviews are pretty good.

@Coffeeonthesofa thanks. That was all the reamaning packet calendar sorted

Spam that looks great but delivery whacks up the cost :(

i cannot let dd2 see that llama, bad enough she drags cock llama from last year's thread everywhere 😂 he's had his ear sewn, back stitched although he will need re stuffing soon as he's getting a bit floppy!!

It's free delivery, @Reastie. It's probably done the usual Amazon trick of defaulting to the paid option in the hope you won't notice.
