Thanks for mountain warehouse code was dithering over something in my basket and 20% sorted it :)

@HamWater Your dragon request was AGES ago upthread but I hope you see this! We have a dragon-mad child and the Schleich dragon range (available on Amazon and other online shops) is amazing and well worth any extra cost. Most dragons around £20 or less. The detailing is fantastic and they are really robust. In real life there is no comparison between them and other makes.

Amazon have the lego friends lighthouse for only £30.89, lowest ever price according to Camelcamelcamel.

lifelongfrugaleer · 01/12/2019 07:57

Thanks @imsorryiasked.

thaegumathteth · 01/12/2019 08:00

Im seconding a request for the tip about the HP sprocket paper if anyone can remember it?

VividImagination · 01/12/2019 08:26

Does anywhere ever do smyths toy shop vouchers at a reduced price. Dgs wants them for his birthday and Christmas so any way of cutting the cost would be appreciated.

ArthurChristmas2 · 01/12/2019 08:33

@eastmidswarwicknightnanny how do you get two jeans for a £5. Can’t find the multi save and desperately need new jeans!!

villamariavintrapp · 01/12/2019 08:37

Dotty Fish has a sale on mystery bundles which include a pair of baby slippers/newborn shoes and some accessories by the looks of it. Cheapest one looks like it's £6.25. I've not bought the bundles so no idea if they're good but we've had the baby slippers/shoes and they're lovely. Here

villamariavintrapp · 01/12/2019 08:38

Oh and free shipping over &20 with BRIGHTFRIDAY

HamWater · 01/12/2019 08:40

@DustOffYourHighestHopes I'm starting to look at Schleich. They really are quite beautiful for dragons! Thanks

30% off Kite Clothing with VIP30

SleeptightDaisy · 01/12/2019 08:48

Ds has finally written his letter and has only asked for Donkey Kong characters and a pirate advent calendar for next year. Any ideas of wear to get at a reasonable price.

Luxplus · 01/12/2019 09:07

@SlipASomethingUnderThe thank yoy for you top regarding lol from Amazon warehouse. Ordered both, came today. One has a little bump on the side but nothing damaging and the other neither dh or me can see any fault on at all....

Thehollyandtheirony · 01/12/2019 09:10

Turtledove London have started their 12 days of Christmas. Going off past years they will have a different item reduced each day. Today’s offer is all dungarees for £12. They are all organic and lovely quality clothes for 0-5s in mostly monochrome colours. Perfect if you know anyone who likes organic but wants a change from Frugi brights. I’ve bought a lot over the years and they are now being reused for my second child.
Now for the bargain bit- I have a referral code for 30% off and it works on the reduced prices. You can get organic dungas for £8.40. Minimum spend of £20 but I think that’s before the 30% discount.
I’ll stick my code on the referral thread.

Lc2006 · 01/12/2019 09:23

I know a couple of people were looking for myla the make up unicorn which is on amazon for £23.40

coffeetofunction · 01/12/2019 09:52

I have nothing to return for your knowledge, but I'm really really stuck. I need slipper boots (with thick sole) for my sil...I've tried landsend when I got bil. She fabulous and in her 30's. I want to spend about £25 (can stretch). Any ideas greatly appreciated 🌷Flowers

NoSquirrels · 01/12/2019 09:56

coffee I’ve been wearing my slipper boots from Next all year - they have a hard sole and have been great on our tiled floors. Think between £25-30 in a range of colours.

FatimaLovesBread · 01/12/2019 09:59

Morning!
Has anyone seen Chanel Allure Homme sport deodorant at a descent price? Its £23.60 on John Lewis but sold out online.

Also need a DAB radio for the in laws

Themazeoflife · 01/12/2019 10:04

Simply Be

I think it's the two pairs of £7.50 jeans, if you add them it takes the prices right down.

WineandDine · 01/12/2019 10:06

Anyone else looking forward to putting their mini wooden tree up more than their actual tree today?! Grin

I’m almost done but need a Vtech Kidizoom smart watch for DS. Anyone seen one at a good price? Amazon had them for £32 in November but I missed it and now most places are £40ish.

Can anyone also recommend a nice set of books for my DS who is 4.5. Some ‘proper’ books from which we can start to read a few pages before bed every night. Is he too young for Enid Blyton or something classic like that? Budget £20ish.

BernardBlacksWineIceLolly · 01/12/2019 10:09

not really a present (for yourself maybe), but just a reminder that it's the last day of the H&M black friday sale. I just bought this coat which I nearly bought instore for £80 for £45

it felt lovely and heavy when I tried it on, so I'm hoping to be a bit warmer this winter than I was last winter!

andi76 · 01/12/2019 10:13

English Heritage have 10% off most of their gifts today (some exclusions eg sale stuff). Code MSS10

shop

WineandDine · 01/12/2019 10:13

Thanks @BernardBlacksWineIceLolly for the reminder. I need a couple of stocking fillers from H&M.

Topshop still have 25% off everything plus they have some fur coats down to £39.
TSEXP10 will get you an extra 10% off.

Elphaba17 · 01/12/2019 10:14

Luxplus, were they in outer packaging or could you see what they were please? Mine is out for delivery today and of course DD will be here all day.

GymSloth · 01/12/2019 10:16

Wineanddine mine loved Enid Blyton's Magical faraway tree series at that age.

Also some of the easier Roald Dahl - The Giraffe, the Pelly and me or Fantastic Mr. Fox.
