@SparklingXmas i was coming on here to ask the same thing! Was quite a while ago now I ordered my sacks and nothing has arrived yet either x

@SparklingXmas
Ahh ok i looked properly and it can take up to 10 working days to be dispatched so that’s probably why taking so long.... good job we orderd super early

@ilikesweetpeas try asda for matching pj's kids were £6 and adults about £8 I think last year. Should be out by beginning of Oct I think

@Ilikesweetpeas Peacocks is good for matching Christmas PJs - st the end of the month they always seem to have a 20% off event as well

Before BH I picked up some matching PJs from the next clearance site. Still had a few Xmas options on there. Might be worth a look.

Best price on camelcamelcamel for this

@MyIncapableOne thanks for the Lego amazon suggestion - just bought that for DS.

Was someone looking for chocolate oranges or was that a different thread?? They're £1 in b&m bargains.

Someone has left a Christmas catalogue out in the staffroom at work (probably sent with a lot of other crap). I was almost lynched for making "squee" noises at it.

Some bargains for decs or even the festive blazer and matching tie:

Peeks

@UrbanMage Haha I’d be the same! I just love Christmas and the build up is a major part of that

For any Disney cars fans

Matchmakers are 75p in Tesco. Excellent price to pop away for Xmas and also excellent price for me to be already on my second box of Maple and Pecan flavour.

Joules have 25% off this weekend with free delivery

@NoWordForFluffy if there are any more referrals left for the beer I'd love one please. :)

I follow Hannah from Giftpop in instagram - she has 50% off her scarves this weekend with SCARF50
(Not the cashmere or wool ones though) but works on her £12-18 range which
Postage is £3.95 still though but lots of jewellery and bits sill in her sale too

It's all vv colourful so maybe good for tweens/teens?

All the beer has gone now! Back to 'normal' bargains.

Hi all, Been lurking for a while and want to thank whoever mentioned Sass & Belle as got a lovely gift for my goddaughter and some nice bits for the baby's room (in progress). Never shop this early and may never again but expecting a baby at Christmas and have a busy few moments ahead so trying to minimise what is left to do when on mat leave!

If anyone has someone to buy for who is as mad about socks as my husband, Happy Socks have some good discounts on the website at the moment - click outlet in the drop down menu. Not sure if their stuff is often discounted as I've not bought from them before, but there are items marked down 30% and 40%. Still expensive for a pair of socks but my husband genuinely loves them so much that he will love the present 😂 I find it endearing that he gets so much joy from them... I think it's a very impersonal present but I know it won't be to him! Sadly, only the regular socks and boxers are discounted, none of the athletic ones that he is obsessed with, so I didn't get to use the discount myself, but I wondered if someone here might benefit.

I’m picking up the Boots beauty edit freebie over the weekend with some bits I ordered. I’ll update in what it’s like once I’ve got it.

I’m after a King Kong figure shaking it’s fist, if anyone sees a cheap one. Not the big movie spin off one, just a normal 6 inch or so one. It’s for the top of my tree

Does anyone know if primark have all their Christmas stuff in yet? Want to get some bits for stocking fillers but want to get them as early as possible to get them done and ticked.

I don't know, but can look on Monday if nobody else knows before then, @Reastie.

Thanks fluffy. I don’t want to get there and find it’s not all out (as these things are logistically more tricky with baby Reastie who is buggy and carrier resistant!) so can wait a bit longer but if it’s out I’m there 😁

I'm thinking of odeon and nandos vouchers for sticking filllers for ds1 (16)
Can you buy these online?
Matalan xmas shop is open :)

End clothing have a good sale on www.endclothing.com/gb/sale/all-sale
If you register with them an extra 25% comes off at checkout.

I've not seen them online, but every supermarket has them, Hoooo.

I'll pop in at lunchtime on Monday, Reastie. Now the kids are back at school it won't be utter carnage. (I'm not fond of the place, and the one in L1 is a massive PITA to navigate!)

There was nothing out in my branch on Thursday night @Reastie
