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

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

Here’s Barbarara’s instructions from last year on doing clicky links:

Open double square brackets

Paste link
Space
Name of link
No space
Close double square brackets

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.
If I do it again without the extra spaces only the word bargain will appear in blue

Downloaded an xmas gift tracker app and having a very satisfying evening adding what I have bought so far, theres even a notes section to add things like 'stashed in attic'. You can add if its bought/ ordered/shipping and if its wrapped and ready, love it.

Ooh what's it called @noodledoodler?

30% off selected electricals at Very. I got some Bluetooth headphones for £29 and also, randomly, 2 pillows for £6 to get free click and collect (orders must be over £30).

@Juiceey
Bit late to help now, but with Amazon prime you can have two separate accounts and I think they can both do a lightening deal each.

Its called 'The Christmas Gift List' ha ha ha I didn't realise that was its actual name.@whoknows1230 there is an upgrade available to allow you to carry over to next year, don't know the cost tho.

Thank you (and thank you for your earlier post). I've just downloaded it, so will have a play with it tomorrow

Spotted Lego architecture London on the hotukdeals webpage.
It’s comes from amazon France but think it’s a good price at £27.50

I feel I'm late to the threads this year!I have several boxes full of bits and have in my wardrobe already, though. As they agree it gets harder to buy for.

My 10 year old and 7 year old have asked for impossible things like a dog, top !of the range gaming pc, and my 5 yeAr old says she loves everything!

So far everything has been toysforapound, poundtoy, wish, gearbest, Hawkins bazaar clearance, Argos clearance, and Amazon bargains.

Oh, and homebargains. All online, tbh!

If anyone is looking for wooden train bits, extra track, accessories, trains etc. then www.pramworld.co.uk have some good offers I thought. There's an extra 5% off with EXTRA5 too.

@mumto3thatsme thanks so much for the Lego heads up. Just bought it and it gets great reviews. I find it quite rare to get a Lego bargain!

@eastmidswarwicknightnanny thank you for Mountain Warehouse code. Having posted about kids stuff I realised DTD2 his outgrown the biggest kids size, but still managed to get a great price on an adult sized waterproof for her for school.

@Mumto3thatsme thanks from me also for the Lego- I've had Lego as a possible in list for DH ever since I missed out in lego Eiffel Tower deal a few years ago. He will love that abs makes a change from clothes which is what he always seems to end up with

Glad it was off use, I’ve just ordered a second set for my nephews birthday next month.
On my amazon receipt sent by email it doesn’t say my full address though just name, Town and county...hope it gets here alright!

Thanks for the JL code, I too signed up to use it and now have a gin set on it way...not sure who it’s going to yet though 😂

@Mumto3thatsme wow that Lego is a bargain. Must resist. It's only a bargain if you have someone to give it to repeats to self

Its probably already been noted but there are lots of reduced knex items at argos. This crane looks like a good saving at £25.99 down from £46

And I've brought this for my DH. Not the most exciting perhaps but a DAB radio with wireless Qi phone charging £25.99 down from £42.99

Would someone please link the referral thread. The one on the reasties post is last years. I would love a cox and cox referral code as I regretted not buying the beautiful ribbon all year.

Amazon have a big bag of Megablocks for £10.

@3isthemajicnumber, there's a few on the bottom of this thread.

What’s the JL code I can’t seem to find it. Thanks

MYHOME for £10 off, no minimum spend. You have to be signed up to My John Lewis (the new incarnation, post-merging card numbers with Waitrose etc) and logged into your account. Even then it can take a few attempts. Home and Garden dept only.

On my amazon receipt sent by email it doesn’t say my full address though just name, Town and county...

That appears to be standard now, mine have been like that for a couple of months (maybe...I've lost all sense of time...)

The lego set looks like a great gift for my DH. Is the £27.49 price correct that everyone is paying with delivery? My French is poor!

Yep includes delivery

Fab thank you! One lego set ordered! x

Can anyone help? Looking for llama bargains for my youngest daughter who is obsessed. She would love the hatchiwow its reduced on argos but not in stock anywhere near me. She already has boppi but has seen it in 2 other colours which she now wants - preferably super cheap 😂
