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

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts

Joining here! I've bought some lol pets reduced from Argos.

Looking for ideas for dd1 - going to be 12 in November. Not girly at all, a bit geeky loves collecting funko mini figures, her favourite clothes are a bonkers adventure time printed skirt and Harley Quinn jacket!

Also on the lookout for descendants stuff for dd2, shes obsessed but I am not prepared to pay the crazy ebay prices for costumes when they are reduced to £16 in the disney store (I don't live near a store and not in stock online) will consider anything descendants themed!!

You've just described 80% of my DD - even the birthday!! - she has recently discovered make up so that will probably play a part of the gifting this year.

I was thinking a laptop due to starting secondary school, but haven't made the commitment yet!!

DD2 wants LOL and sweets....

Ah, I have fond memories of the Playmobil fire engine. That was a Tesco bargain in 2018, I think.

These were reduced down to £2.50 in asda, magnetic tiles

Sorry I was meant to type £2.50 each. I bought both sets to put away for Xmas

@PinkDaydreams The kaleidoscope was from home bargains for £1 in a dinsosaur pattern although the works sell the same in astronaut for £2. You can so get rabbits, unicorns etc. The bell musical shaker was from flying tiger tiger

@SodOffCovid thank you!

Thanks for the accessorize sale - teacher/cousin/cleaner/stocking fillers and a few bits for party presents all sorted for £60!

hi all, can I join you. have been on a couple of these threads a few years back and they really help to keep me focused and keep costs down! Last year I was very last minute with everything and it was mega stressful, so resolved to be more organised this year. Already have a fair few stocking bits, christmas ojs for the girls and advnet calendars bought in Jan sales but need to up my game now really.
Buying for 6 dc aged 22, 21, 18, 16, 14 and 12 and DH. Plus Mum and dad, sister, BIL, and neice.
Right, have grabbed the new game from amazon mentioned up thread, thanks pp, now to read thread properly and track down bargains to share with you all.

@mosscarpet which amazon game? I can’t see it. Thanks

@myhouse2011 it was this one: www.google.com/search?q=rash+and+swollen+eyes&rlz=1CAEAQE_enGB768GB768&oq=rash+and+swollen+eyes&aqs=chrome..69i57.5517j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 someone posted it at some point on this thread - cant recall who sorry, spotted it when reading through full thread!

oh bugger- totally wrong link , please ignore!! Try this one:

Thanks @mosscarpet 😊

Not sure if I saw it on here, so apologies if I'm duplicating - Sophie Allport site has 20% off their Dragonfly range.

Also Campus Gifts have a great sale on their Jellycat items.

Does anyone have any suggestions what to get a 18 yo niece my mind is blown. She's a typical trendy young woman.

@SodOffCovid anything Charlotte Tilbury

Makeup brushes? DD2 is a makeup junkie and rates Morphe or Real Techniques.

@SodOffCovid Morphe usually have some great offers on their makeup brush sets and they're great quality.

Mac also have lovely makeup brushes.

Another option would be a Beauty Pie gift subscription but that would involve her spending money on the actual products in the new year...

Rock On Ruby also do fab t-shirts and jumpers that might work @SodOffCovid - occasionally they have 20% off and sell via NOTHS where there are sometimes other offers on their range.

Brilliant thanks 🙂 I'm off to Google!

Ernest Jones has a good sale. You get an extra 15% off with a code EXTRA15. I bought a watch and got it less than half price. Jewellery, watches etc.

New Christmas thread!

@SodOffCovid cult beauty have their starter kit for £30 just now, worth over £95, got Charlotte tilsbury benefit etc in it but you would need to be quick they sell out fast

Happy Christmas to all...

... and to all, a good night 🌲
