Ooooh I feel all virtuous over the Olay tip! Grin

@PaddingtonBearHardStare Sainsbury’s have their toy sale on in the middle of October and there’s always good Lego deals in that

Notlongnow1 · 22/09/2019 18:45

@notpennysboat decathlon have them

Jessica78 · 22/09/2019 18:50

@notjustamother I think I've seen that walker on brandalley or similar...

LBOCS2 · 22/09/2019 19:07

Sainsbury's instore have reduced a whole load of their crafting kits so they're between £1-3, and would make good stocking fillers. You can craft your own cushions, llama pennants, etc.

@Jfw82 thanks! Just got a scooter!

TellMeItsNotTrue · 22/09/2019 19:19

@FireflyGirl Thankyou, I didn't go to the next stage so didn't see that option

Sunshine196 · 22/09/2019 19:25

Don't worry I've seen this so answered my own question. Will be £30 off so definitely worth the trip!

Ignore my Lands End question, I just found the code mention on the last thread which took me to the referrals thread which gave me a code which forced me to buy the stockings. Oops[santa]

recklessgran · 22/09/2019 19:47

@Noaddedsugar thank you so much for the L'Occitane and BobbiBrown tips. That's 2 more stocking fillers for DD3 ticked off and free hand creams too.Brilliant.
I love this thread.

recklessgran · 22/09/2019 19:48

Sorry! Should have said @Someaddedsugar. Too excited!

beccarooney · 22/09/2019 19:53

Could I please ask @verbithien where you found your £15 cut glass cocktail shaker (from the last thread - playing catch up!) as this sounds like a really nice gift.

Also I am looking for a Longchamp Le Pliage-style tote bag and/or rucksack for DD - thinking I might try to get from an ebay seller - wonder if anyone can please recommend a seller for this?

And if anyone can suggest where to find a bargainous Exploding Kittens?
Thanks for all the other tips already planning to look for Whip and choc oranges tomorrow :)

Bluewavescrashing · 22/09/2019 19:54

Any bargainous Molton Brown around please?

Someaddedsugar · 22/09/2019 19:55

@recklessgran I was so pleased with the BB code - I've had a list of presents from there for ages and managed to get the mystery gift too which I'm sure will come in handy!

applepinkierainbow · 22/09/2019 20:12

@beccarooney They has some Longchamp La Plage bags on Zuilly today - not sure if it's a big discount though!

sparkle789 · 22/09/2019 20:13

I’m tempted to get the lol house with the symths deal. Has anyone got one, what’s the quality like?

Whoopstheregomyinsides · 22/09/2019 20:23

Just got some lovely stuff in Lisa Angel sale thanks for the tip off
Those liking Chillys bottles, the mountain warehouse ones are pretty good and they always have a sale on

CheeseToastMarmite · 22/09/2019 20:35

Just bought Don’t Rock the Boat game for DN4 on Amazon almost half price. Pleased with that Smile

No argos 3 for 2 ? that's how I get most of the kids presents!!

Fantababy · 22/09/2019 20:47

Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but does The Entertainer do any kind of deal like the Smyths one? Smyths doesn't sell Happyland.

I have noticed that the prices of a few things i have in various wishlists have gone up recently so I'm hoping that's in preparation for some big drops later on.

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 22/09/2019 21:00

beccarooney Tesco recently reduced exploding kittens to £8ish. loads left in mine with the clearance stuff :)

IHeartKingThistle · 22/09/2019 21:00

Argh so much catching up to do!

Sunshine196 · 22/09/2019 21:01

@sparkle789 it's got mixed reviews but I think my daughter will love it. She's well into lols. One thing I have read is that you should coat the bit that has the pool with a waterproof varnish as the house is cardboard & if it gets wet it can damage it.

PaddingtonBearHardStare · 22/09/2019 21:11

@yumyumpoppycat no one knows, they have a countdown to something on their website which actually says 3 for 2 when you cut and paste it but the general consensus is they wouldn't do 3 for 2 again

beccarooney · 22/09/2019 21:27

Thanks for the tip nocutsnobutts - will look tomorrow when I go to stock up on choc oranges!
Also thanks for the Longchamp link applepinkie - actually it's not a genuine Longchamp tote I'm after this time (too tightfisted to pay that kind of money until she's of an age to look after it :) but a lookalike Longchamp tote/rucksack if anyone knows of any.
Thanks also for Lisa Angel tip off - just picked up a pretty constellation necklace for DD for £4 (though note that some star signs are more expensive than others!)
