Christmas 2020 summer bargains!

New Christmas bargains thread!

Hobbycraft have a sale on art stuff - those looking for colouring pencils they have since good deals on derwent the wooden set would be good for a beginner, and the inktense are great for anyone.

Thanks for all the great tips. Has anyone seen any lovely interactive dolls at a good price? The Argos Baby Borns are all out of stock anywhere near me, and I have looked absolutely everywhere for a really nice doll that sucks a dummy.

My first duplo box is down to £11.50 on amazon, bargain!

Thank you @Christmascaker for the duplo tip, ordered for my will be nearly 3 year old to go with his other sets

For any LEGO experts, may I ask do the duplo blocks fit onto the generic brand base plates? I’ve seen some in home bargains but wonder if the duplo will fit on? Thank you!

Thanks @sorryiasked I was looking for colouring pencils but I was wanting to upgrade to prismacolor - she has similar to the Derwent already and watercolour pencils and pens. Good buys though. We got promarkers half price from there last Christmas.

I guess the Duplo boxes are gone? The link doesn't work and I can't find it on amazon.

Sorry @alwaysraining123 I’ve just checked and they’ve sold out.

@pinkdaydreams thank you so much for checking anyway.

Has anyone received their orders for typo? Is the quality good? I am pondering ordering a few as token gifts. The little ones are £4.50, the big screw too ones £7.50

Sorry for the terrible attempt at a link, glad you benefitted though @PinkDaydreams

Thank you for the Lisa Angel 20% code - it only works on full price items but in my search for bargains and already having loads of the sale items in my basket I decided to have a browse of the "new in" stuff and managed to get my office secret santa gift in budget (with the 20% off) and the 2 main presents for a good friend so hers is now all done. Altogether £138 worth at full price for £38 delivered.

My bargain of the day - just popped to Tesco at lunch and they had Blume dolls for £2.50, they were marked as being down from £10 but think they average about £8 on Smyths etc and bit less at times on Amazon. Not a type of toy I’m very enthralled to give into normally but at that price they’re fine.

Sounds like something I would do TK great save

@SodoffCovid my Typo order arrived and I am very happy at the quality and even moreso the price. I didn't order water bottles more stocking fillers but everything is good quality and nicely packed.

Someone already mentioned Moonlite upthread, but there's also a starter pack at Bargain Max for £7.99. The RRP is silly but they seek to go for around £12 on amazon. It doesn't say which set it is but i received the Eric Carle one.

@hiredandsqueak thank you. I've gone ahead and placed the order as I saw it was free returns so I have nothing to lose really. I'm pleased you were happy with your purchases... I find it exciting opening a big parcel of goodies

Saw these Scentos sets in Tesco. They're big boxes and would make a great gift, especially if your tween girl present pile isn't looking impressive enough size wise

Early Learning Centre have up to 50% off brands such as Little Tikes, Vtech and Leap Frog. And you can use the same discount code as The Entertainer - 5off25 for £5 off £25 spend

Me again 😂 does anyone know of a good go to place to look out for gift boxes from? Or stick to somewhere like card factory? I'm thinking some of the little bits and bobs I've brought from Lisa Angel may be better in boxes. Thanks in advance

SodOff Studio are good for gift bags and boxes so are maharani closer to Christmas.
