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.

If anyone is after the Playmobil City Hospital - last year I got it for £30 in the Asda Christmas toy buys.

You can only hope, @torthecatlady!

Reastie, good news!

I love my bamboo socks. Might look at the kids' ones!

B&M are selling kids dvds at £1. I stocked up on a few to take with us on the plane when we go on holiday later this year but would make a good stocking filler. Lots of Bing, Spider-Man, Blaze & Paw Patrol. Includes the 3 pack ones that are usually £6.99

Brand Alley have deals on Playmobil, scooters and wooden toys among other things at the moment. Deals are constantly changing so it's worth checking it from time to time.

Thanks @SushiGo just ordered snake socks for ds. Gutted dd is now out of size for kids socks

This place has loads of really nice discounted trees and decorations on sale until midnight tomorrow. I got my tree from there and can recommend.

There's sometimes a new customer code found by googling too.

I wonder if there will be any Spode discounts like we had last year? I got started on my Christmas Tree colllection and would love to add to it this year! Does anyone know if TK Maxx will have their stock in yet?!

@FilthyforFirth I went to homesence last week and no Christmas stuff in there x

Definitely hoping I can join here and grab some bargains

Just got the metal tea set from sass and belle - was in my list for Dd and are £15ish on amazon. Added a plate for ds and still came in at £12.50 with delivery. Stacked 20% with welcome10
That’s my first things 😬 apart from some stashed grimms blocks I won in a competition in the summer. Trying to buy less this year (again) as they get so much.

As @HerkyBaby mentioned, Emma Bridgewater have 20% off almost everything this bank holiday weekend. But if you sign up for their newsletter you get a code for 15% off which works on top of the discount. Might order the EB Chillys water bottle, £25 down to £16.25 by stacking the discounts.

Ok thanks @Whitecandle. Too early I guess!

There's 25% off playmobil at Argos at the moment. Not sure how long the offer is for

I'm going to be after a balance bike and toot toot pirate ship for 2 year old DS. Will send any bargains I see! Off for a day of mooching about the shops so hopefully will have something to report back.

Does anyone have ideas for lovely cup and saucer sets? Looked at the Emma Bridgewater but reviews say they chip easily. Thanks!

@sushi thanks one pair socks turned into loads socks and a coat for me whoops £65 later :)

Was in B&M earlier this week & they had metal play tea sets in a very pretty design for under £10. Can't remember exact price but it was a peach and pale blue print. Very pretty.

@FilthyforFirth you might find some Christmas Tree bargains here

Sometimes they do flash sales/bank holiday discounts but I can't seem to find any codes for this weekend.

@fanta we had happyland for eldest boxed it away when he was 5 (youngest was 1) and he had it for bday n xmas when he was 3yrs he is nearly 5 now and sold one bundle on Ebay recently for about half what we paid new (and we brought it half price new). Its stays like new and we cleaned it with anti bac before selling but wouldn't be assured all sellers would do :)

There are some real bargains in the Skinny Dip section. I've bought makeup bags, initial necklaces for DD and DN, and a replacement phone case for DD.

Sale section that is

Filthy (oh that sounds a bit ) try the tkmaxx clearance, I haven’t looked recently but I got some spode Christmas tree stuff in my local one as recently as June

@FilthyforFirth looks like BH15 should give you an extra 15% off at ecookshop this weekend.

Book people have upto 85% off.

Haha I dont have the best username to be shortened! Thanks very much for the code @TheWoollybacksWife, will check that link now.

I'm going to try the TKM that is in the next town over, our one is rubbish. I shall report back!
