Lovely busy books down to £3.49 on amazon. There’s a few different titles in the range.

So I'm nearly done with the family presents and they've decided to do Secret Santa instead! I hope I get someone who likes soaps and gin!

Dreamingofwalden · 12/10/2019 10:54

Thanks @CordeliaScott v useful x

FireflyGirl · 12/10/2019 11:13

Misread PinkDaydreams' post slightly, and found Amazon have got the Disney busy books with figures from £6, including Toy Story 4/Moana/Lion King.

FireflyGirl · 12/10/2019 11:15

And also, if you have eBay check your account - I had a voucher for £5 off a £10+ spend! Limited categories, but it could be added to about half of the things I was looking at.

ClutchinMahPurrrls · 12/10/2019 11:30

PoopaPoopa glad someone else has made use of the link! What food did you get?

Onlyahalfbottle · 12/10/2019 11:34

Sorry I don't have any offers but thank you to everyone who has posted this really is the best thread on Mumsnet, especially thank you to @CordeliaScott I've used one of your M&S codes you've saved me a fortune if I eventually get any I'll post them for anyone who needs them.
We have been to Tesco and they had a lot of bargain Lego and a clearance section with lots of bin lorry and fire engine toys if you have toddlers that like that sort of thing!

CoffeeAndEnnui · 12/10/2019 11:36

Perhaps a bit spendy to qualify for true bargain status but Liberty have up to 20% off in their customer loyalty event (can still sign up today) and it has brought Grimm's toys, for example, quite significantly down. They are rarely discounted by much.

Liberty Christmas decorations and the rather lovely (paper, not beauty, that's out on 16th!) storefront advent calendar are also included so well worth a browse.

onedayatatime73 · 12/10/2019 12:15

Sorry can someone post the link to the tiny doll food?

NotPennysBoat · 12/10/2019 12:19

@ninjaturtlesmum hope this works...

ninjaturtlesmum · 12/10/2019 12:24

@NotPennysBoat, thank you so much, that worked. Not sure why I couldn’t find it on the site.
DS2 has been wanted one for ages! Also want to thank @recklessgran for the M & S code, I too have saved a fortune on the pyjamas (and shoes, winter boots and tights which fell into my basket Grin)

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 12/10/2019 12:27

thanks for the codes@BellsaRinging
used the middle one for money off a sloth onesie for DD and some boring bits (tights and a heathen top) for me

SkintSanta · 12/10/2019 12:35

@Luxplus super cute! We got the same print in a vest in DDs bag. I love it 🥰 seriously excited for my next orders from Småfolk to arrive Grin

BellsaRinging · 12/10/2019 12:37

You're welcome ClosedAura. My mother would say that a heathen top would be most appropriate for me!

SheStoodInTheStorm · 12/10/2019 12:38

My local TK Maxx has loads of BigJigs, Melissa and Doug, lots of lovely books and sets (I got a lovely fuzzy felt play farm for £3.99) and nice toys in.

Kraggle · 12/10/2019 12:43

If anyone sees the Trihorse wooden marble run for less than £42.99 please let me know! I’ve fallen in love with it for my 2 year old but it’s a bit pricey. Got pipped in the last 15seconds for a second one on eBay last night which made me really annoyed!

Sunshine196 · 12/10/2019 12:43

@ninjaturtlesmum sorry just seen this. The link that has been posted by @NotPennysBoat is the one I got

Kraggle · 12/10/2019 12:44

TwistedAnkle · 12/10/2019 12:50

None of the m&s codes worked for me ☹️. I've got a load of pyjamas in my basket. Any more codes going please?

MrsLeclerc · 12/10/2019 12:58

Home Bargains had extra large Christmas Mickey and Minnie soft toys for £19.99 and medium ones for £9.99. There were quite a few Toy Story toy sets there too. They also had men’s Star Wars T-shirts for £5 (some plain black with just the logo on).

Dunelm had hamper basket sets for those looking to make their own hampers starting at £6. They had small children’s rocking horses that played sounds, ours had a dinosaur, dog, horse and unicorn ones for £35.

Matalan had family matching Christmas t-shirts and PJs if anyone is looking for some.

Poundland had chocolate liqueurs with Jim Bean, Teachers whisky, Gin and Irish whisky fillings £1 each.

imsorryiasked · 12/10/2019 13:08

@Kraggle there are a couple on Amazon.de warehouse deals but shipping to UK is £6.25 so knocks out the saving. Worth keeping an eye on though.

CoffeeAndEnnui · 12/10/2019 13:09

There's 15% off any £40+ spend at Firebox this weekend with the code EARLYXMAS15, if you have anything on your lists from there to tick off.
