Christmas bargain prequel thread 2020

[sideorderofchips]

Hello!

Welcome to the annual Christmas Bargain Prequel thread! We run through till about September which is when Reastie takes over for the run up to Christmas

So feel free to post your bargains or questions here

Pirate Pete’s potty board book is £3.49 on Amazon. Checked ccc and it was last that low back in 2011.

Thanks for the superdrug tip! Website was slow but got a few bits!

QVC have a sale on Christmas bits at the moment, and if you're new to QVC you get £5 off with your first order with code FIVE4U

Matalan have a good 70% off sale. I got some socks, hoodie etc.

Will have a look at QVC, thanks!

@Courtney555, was it you who was having twins last year?

Yes!! They arrived 30 December! Fat little buggers they are now

Ah, lovely! Belated congratulations! 👶 👶

Here they are, giving someone a filthy look in the supermarket

Super cute! 👶👶

They're so cute!

Very cute

Thank you

I can't wait for this year's bargain thread. I've just got to remember that 1yr olds barely need a present at all, and don't go completely over the top like a #babydarlings1stchristmas #blessed Hun

@Courtney555 they don't need loads but still.... def recommend the rocket and rose fiver Friday offer mentioned previously- I've had a few of their things previously and all have been lovely . (Have just ordered the latest offer for my 1 and 3yo and my 4yo goddaughter!)

You can always get slightly older things for a 1yo to open. The fun is in the opening for them! So cute clothes a size up, things for next summer eg a sand / water table for the garden, ride on car etc.

Ooh thread babies! Very cute 😍

Beautiful babies @Courtney555! Can anyone remember anything about the shampoo bars from last year's thread? Really want to get these for my 5 DD's stockings. I'm sure there is a storage tin or something too if I remember correctly. Would love guidance / recommendations - TIA

My little one was born 15th December, going to struggle coming up with enough ideas for his birthday and Christmas, especially given his sister basically already has every toy that exists 🙈

@recklessgran was it Friendly Soaps as they do lovely soaps, shampoo bars etc with a travel tin? They are doing 20% off at the moment if you buy 14 bars.

Congratulations @Courtney555! My twins are almost 5 now and much more demanding with their present list, enjoy choosing for them whilst you can

I just bought loads of stuff for my daughter's stocking from Rex London - absolutely amazing value so thanks for the tip!!!

Amazon have this wind up Santa book at £7.64 - I’ve just bought it for Christmas Eve. We have the tractor version and it’s played with over and over!

@recklessgran if it isn’t friendly soaps could it be Dr Botanicals? I think lots of people got a fab bargain on there last year?

I'm on the right thread - I also have baby twins born late last year and a toddler who already has all the toys I might buy for them! Hopefully we can swap present ideas (not that I have many yet!)

Thanks @Someaddedsugar - that book looks great, just ordered one!

@NickMyLipple, I've just completed my kids' stockings from Rex London too. Nothing plastic or destined for landfill!
