@SymphonyofShadows have you seen the funko pop kong ? Not exactly shaking his fist but perfect size, there’s also this one which is cool but more expensive. Are you theming your tree decs too?! Would love to see that.

I’ve got an email from groupon, 2 odeon cinema tickets for £10 or 5 for £20. Don’t know if it’s account specific but worth a look. They also send me primark and Tesco £10 vouchers for £5 so worth registering.

@Reastie my dd went to primark today and said the only Xmas thing out was a couple of candles in tins and Reed diffusers. She said the autumn clothes had all changed though so shouldn’t be long.

Thanks so far for the bargains, managed about 60% of my list.
For those waiting on the marshmallow kits, mine arrived this morning and the date is February 2020.

Still on the lookout for a cheapish wooden work station for DTs.
Also if anyone has any recommendations on weighted blankets it would be great. My mum has asked for one so hopefully I can catch a good offer.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but for those looking for Ladies Christmas PJs, Peacocks have quite a few sets on sale atm.

Thanks JammieBammie the Funko Pop one would have been great if it wasn’t holding the plane. It’s for the top of the tree and I’m going to hang a little plane from the ceiling. I had a Funko Pop of Eleven from Stranger Things on the top last year, and I’ve had various rock stars with angel wings, who have died in that particular year too. Such as Lemmy.

TalkingOrmer · 07/09/2019 13:42

@Zillaindie Amazon have deals on weighted blankets today.

Becles · 07/09/2019 14:00

I'm £6 short of free delivery at the Works. Anyone have a particular bargain to suggest?

imsorryiasked · 07/09/2019 14:17

@Becles they often have more unusual board games for £10 instead of £25+

imsorryiasked · 07/09/2019 14:20

Abebooks have free delivery and no minimum order - new and used books of all kinds, often cheaper than Amazon.

CoffeeAndEnnui · 07/09/2019 14:22

@Becles, two of their Jacob's Ladders would come to exactly £6 and they make fantastic stocking fillers/spare pressies for every age group. We have a couple on a side table in the living room and everyone ends up having a play!

margaritasbythesea · 07/09/2019 14:35

Not for Christmas really, but amazon have the kindle version of the World's Worst Children on for 99p today. Thought it might be useful to someone.

imsorryiasked · 07/09/2019 14:44

@PhannyMcNee How about a charm advent for DD, lots on Amazon.
For DS the Revell model ones are great but usually around £28.

Chocolateteabag · 07/09/2019 15:25

Wow - my Beer52 order just arrived by courier! That is less than 20 hours since I ordered it - Thanks @NoWordForFluffy!

Now I have to call them on Monday to cancel Blush

NoWordForFluffy · 07/09/2019 15:26

That's speedy!

You can email too, @chocolateteabag. Saves an embarrassing phone call! 😂

whereareyousleep · 07/09/2019 16:06

That a for the Nintendo switch advice looks like he'll probably be ok so just need to find a bargain price for it now.

Loads of board games/science kits/ slime kits reduced to £3/£4 in b&M today if any use to anybody.

DelurkingAJ · 07/09/2019 16:08

Lego advent calendars in the 3 for 2 at Boots online! Hurray!

SymphonyofShadows · 07/09/2019 16:11

Picked up the free Boots make up box today. It’s a nice selection if you are buying from the included ranges anyway, as I was. The ‘worth £40’ on the box is printed, not a sticker, but it would be a nice gift in a make up bag, or for stocking fillers.

My nip+fab package arrived today - fab bargain present. At least it would have been if I haven't stupidly left it all within a toddlers reach who managed to open an eyeshadow palette when I wasn't looking 😳🤭😵

tabbycat985 · 07/09/2019 16:41

@PhannyMcNee
have you seen the fancy popcorn calendars?

I also thought this looked lovely for a younger girl I'd DD has her ears pierced?
Avon Advent Calendar Addie Earring set "CHRISTMAS GIFT" https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B076DJ1P9M/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_gy5CDbKHX67Y1

Paperchase have an advent calendar coming out but I don't know if the price has been confirmed.

PhannyMcNee · 07/09/2019 17:12

Thank you @imsorryiasked and @tabbycat985 - unfortunately DD doesn’t have pierced ears or wear jewellery as I liked the charm idea! She does however love popcorn!

I like the idea of the revel model ones for ds

BanoffeePieIsMyFave · 07/09/2019 17:23

Not sure if this has already been mentioned but just got a camelcamelcamel alert on this coding robot, looks like a good deal

Whoever mentioned the mountain warehouse discount sale is my hero! My coat arrived today - yes mine not a gift but never mind Grin - and it is fabulous, still has the £159 price tag on but cost me £34 including postage!!!!! Hurrah for this thread!

imsorryiasked · 07/09/2019 17:26

If anyone spots a deal on a personalised calendar please let me know - all I can find are for photo books Sad

NoWordForFluffy · 07/09/2019 17:27

Groupon has Colorland photo calendars now (or did on 3rd!), @imsorryiasked

NoWordForFluffy · 07/09/2019 17:28
