Bargain thread 1 - Christmas shopping on the hottest day of the year!

[Reastie]

Title inspired by the sweltering heat today but I’m still planing Christmas!!!

Thank you to chips for keeping the seat warm for me.

Just a reminder you can watch the thread by clicking on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first message. It’s much easier for everyone than so many place marking every time which can use up a fair chunk of each thread to scroll through

Thank you too @sorryiasked. The elusive Duplo set has finally been bagged.

Duplo back at £10.99 on Amazon!

Can anyone recommend a drone with a camera that isn't huge? There is that many different ones online with different reviews and specs it's giving me a headache in this heat

Yippee got the Duplo at last too. Thanks all. [This is a great day for DGD who is 3 in October - if only she knew!]

I missed out on the vtech turbo car down to £5 on Amazon, price is back up to £12. So annoying as it's £5 on Argos but not available in any of my local stores!

@nomorewinedayfriday keep an eye on it, it's going up and down hourly. I've managed to get a couple now

This spa bag is currently £12.80 on amazon from £31.99 with code HVPY7OCP Spa bag

@babycakes1010

Sorry if it's already been posted but has anyone seen any Ryan's world bargains?

Not sure if mentioned but Tesco are doing Yankee candle gift sets half price...was £40 now down to £20

www.character.com/search?type=product&q=Ryans+world normally various bits on here but not particularly bargainous!

Thank you Useless that’s a proper good bargain! Not sure who it will go to yet but that’s another in the bag!

On the look out for decent hair and beard grooming for teen DS that look cool but dont cost a fortune. Any ideas?

Argos have a few small Ryan's world bits in the clearance. Only available in certain stores though.

Has anyone seen any good deals or ideas about toy advent calendars?

Dd (almost 12) is interested in a make up/nail varnish one - must be cruelty free.

Ds10 likes minecraft, lego (had these calendars last few years), Percy Jackson/mythology, Harry Potter a bit, nerf.

Ds 8yrs loves minecraft, dinosaurs, dragons, nerf guns.

Thanks!

Just before I press continue to pay for the spa bag at what point do you pop the code in? This will be perfect for mil birthday present in August.

Go to continue to checkout @Marypoppinsisnosaint and then on the next page about half way down it should have gift cards and promotional codes box

It's under where your card number would be

Sylvanian Families Town - Grand Department Store (Gift Set) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B079GKKB3Z/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_nIxmFbA1YYJCT

This is £40/£50 off!

Lots of offers on SF if you scroll through... the house mentioned earlier is back up to full price for me though

@UselessInDisguise thank you so much. I've managed to get it, I've paid for postage though as I don't have prime however even with that it was a fantastic bargain. I had ordered her something from the Lisa angel sale but that might not be here until after her birthday. Her Christmas present will be sorted now too! Yay!

What a barg! I've ordered this for my Nan, thanks. She's nutty about lavender.

Pleasure

@SodOffCovid someone recommended mrs snowballs bubble boutique to you. Mine arrived today this was just under £20 for the monthly box (not a subscription) but you can buy individual ones too

Fantastic thanks so much have ordered for my mil. These threads are amazing. I've nearly sorted both dcs and one of them have their birthday at the start of Dec. And my dsis and bil. Only my dh and parents to do now. Amazing!

Mountain Warehouse have a sale on. If you use the the code CUST20 it gives you an extra 20% off too.

Thank you @THJ8LL for the Boots recommendation. My husband has been after the Oral B Genius for ages but didn't want to pay £170. £85 was a much nicer price!

Worth keeping an eye out for Boots £10 Tuesdays as well. Some decent deals on previous weeks

Thanks for the code, I've just used it for a set x

Home bargains had a large white oil burner in with four chunky wax melts for £4.99. Think it maybe an Easter edition as the box pretty white and yellow flowers in it.
