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

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

Open double square brackets
No space
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

@Luxplus Amazon have some called Giotto Stilnovo Skintones Colouring Pencils -Set of 12 Pencils which look quite good. They're about £5. Sorry, cant link on my phone.

Love browsing the Christmas bargain threads although I don’t always post.
I had a code from Fragrance Direct for 20% off which lasts until tomorrow. The code is Take20 for anyone who doesn’t like clicking links.

That’s the Fragrance Shop sorry not Fragrance Direct

Real Coffee Bag have just sent through a code (30%EXTRA) to get (you guessed it!) 30% extra with any order this weekend. They were quite popular last year for small gifts/hampers. Lottie Dolls also have 20% off an £80 spend.

Thanks for the replies on outdoor toys, it would tick so many boxes if we go with that (and avoid the number of new plastic toys in the house!) so will give it serious consideration now

Does anyone ever shop at body shop? I wondered if the offers in store are the same as those online? I'd like a few bits and I'm weighing up doing an order or waiting to pop in. Thanks 🙂

Yay for the first @reastie thread! Been out most of the day and am now paying for it. 6 months pregnant but look and feel ready to drop! Am going to have a mooch back through now.

My offering is Ollie and Nic still got a good sale on, 60% off. I absolutely love my two bags I got earlier.

I loved Ollie & Nic bags last year. I did 2 orders as I liked the gifts I bought so much that I then bought 2 bags for myself!

Thanks for the new thread reastie

I've also got student discount codes if there of use to anyone

I also love the Ollie & Nic bags, I have 2 in a backpack style and they're so comfortable, hard wearing and look smart too. Must refrain from buying more this year

Haha let me tempt you to the dark side ladies! I did get one for my mum for Christmas but the tan backpack I ordered for myself is so nice. I love it!

I got the Hygge bands last year and the dcs( male and female) loved them. Even better this year for use as face coverings so have ordered again. Its really a very good deal

Thanks for the Lisa angel link. I was surprised to get a fiver back on Amex shop small! Great deal

@SodOffCovid no the body shop offers are not the same online as I'm store! I've made this mistake before. I always find you can get much better deals online.

Definitely Body Shop online! Always loads of extra discounts.
L'Occitane is the same.

I'm excited by this! Just used entertainer, smiggle and Lisa angel

@ScorpioSphinxInACalicoDress and @tinyradish thanks! They have £5 off and free del atm so I will take a look online thanks

Woohoo first officially thread! Thanks Reastie, and thanks chips and pink for the interim ones.
These threads are so handy to browse when up with the baby at night (for an hour and a half so far...for no apparent reason...)

Our Lego duplo arrived this morning, so pleased with it!

It's back on amazon but for £18.75, still a good deal though just not as good as the £11.75

If anyone sees deals for PJ masks vehicles etc please give a shout!
Its pj masks, playmobil and sodding barbies here. I'm hoping to delay barbie for another year or so though

Superdry and Jack wills both have sales on atm

just hype sale
