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

Sorry for the wrong referral link but I think people are posting now in the old one as there seems to be new cox codes near the end

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts pikmi pops do some llama corn theme toys, poopsie do a llama and maybe there's a squishmellow. The entertainer has offers on the boppi ones. Have you entered all your birthdays on the entertainer? You can add all the family's birthdays and get 20% off on top of the discount. I facebooked them and they sent me a code for my nieces birthday. Thanks to a previous poster tip as I only had my DC registered.

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts not sure how old she is but amazon do a llama 3D puzzle and orchard toys have a llama theme game and where's the llama book on amazon. Offers come up regularly on the orchard toys games on amazon

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts have you tried eBay? Argos sell through there and it is showing in stock at the same half price discount as the Argos website

@Mumto3thatsme thanks very much for the Lego link. Its £44.99 in the Lego shop. He

Captainjacksparrow - there are some NASA jigsaw puzzles, pyjamas and t-shirts on truffleshuffle.

Thanks so much for the John Lewis code. I bought a full size bottle if Sipsmith gin for £14.50 click and collect. It is currently £28.50 at Tesco. That's one present down!

My first contribution this year is HMV. In store yesterday they had lots of good quality wooden board games reduced to 99p, Harry Potter Dobble for 4.99 and several other reduced games. No idea if this is nationwide but should imagine each store has it's own bargains.

@greyinganddecaying

Yes they seem to have only medium and up, but there is another Harry Potter bundle here, a T-shirt, mug and coaster for £10.99

I know it was pages ago but thanks so much for the Lisa Angel tip.
My first order has just arrived and I am so impressed with it, I've never ordered from there before and the stuff is lovely!

Not sure if the sell by date but Handy Candy has reductions on several of its sweet hampers atm.

Just been into b&m they have lots of toys on 2 for £20 including dolls, cheaper brand duplo, toy cars, lots of baby toys, board games and craft kits

Thanks bunny that looks ideal

Thanks for the JL code. Got a lovely silver plated frame for my uncle's 70th for half price. Happy days!

scanner20 thank you lots of great ideas ive added them to her wish list so I don't forget! She has some who's you llama toys, the wheres the llama book. Shes 8 but has a v short attention space so not sure she will manage the aquabeads or 3d puzzle but if I find them cheap enough its worth a try. Shes got some pikmi pops didnt realise there was a llama, will look out. Poopsie is not allowed though as I don't do slime 😂 and good idea on the discount, it was a purple one she saw and can't see it on there will keep trying!

22giraffes i did look but you still have to collect and its not in stock near me.

Does anyone know of the different boppis play different songs or are they all the same?

15% off Converse with code VCUK15 and it works on sale items (but need to spend £50 for free delivery)

Some Acorn Wood books are on offer on Amazon. I found foxes socks and Rabbits Nap, board books for £3. I'm not sure how to do links.

Wilko had some Frozen and Harry Potter things reduced. They had a bracelet and lip gloss set with for 50p (I previously paid £3.50 for it) soap confetti things and mugs for 50p -75p. Sorry I didn't really checked out the HP ones but they was the same price. Hope that helps someone.

Does anyone know if there's any codes for studio atm?

Dh and I have bought ourselves an early Christmas gift today from amazon daily deals, a robotic hoover and mop. Cannot wait for it to arrive!

Thank you for this thread Reastie, I always loiter and appreciate all the bargains people post!

Thank you for the JL code- a chilly's food pot is on its way for my daughter in secondary school. Also for the lego which will be for my husband :)

Popped into the local town and lots of shops have got bits and pieces for a few £. Would have been great for stocking presents if my DD's weren't with me!

Just snaffled the French Lego.

If ever a more Mumsnet sentence were spoken

I'm quite tempted by the lego for DH who insists our nearly 3 yo doesn't build anything 'right' with his duplo... But he will inevitably want to 'help' daddy alongside my 1 yo... I'm in a quandary whether it's a good idea 🤔

I’ve got my rex London order Which was fab - really pleased with the quality and that’s the girls at work sorted with hot mugs!
Then I’ve ordered loads of tops from hollister and jack wills for my ds’s and a pair of vans trainers.
I’ve ticked off my 3 nieces with perfume, pandora charm and the Holland and Barrett set from the first thread.
I’ve ordered the gin from John Lewis which will be my gift to my boss.
Checking this thread daily has become my guilty pleasure!
Tesco has some systema ‘Chilly’ Style bottles for £5. Nice colours. I got one for ds’s stocking.

Loads of bargains on Cath Kidston website. I've just ordered make-up & cosmetic bags reduced from £27 to £4!!
