What about something on a theme she's interested in? There's a few space sets that are good, minecraft, landmarks etc

@Givealittlebit

God I can't keep up this year! Pretty much missed the whole of the third thread. Is it just me or are they moving much quicker earlier this year? Trying to figure out if it's yet another effect of Covid (always welcoming new bargain hunters - these threads have been amazing for me the past few years!)

Yes they are flying by! I'm nearly done already this year.

Wow, I have a day off MN because of work and cone back to 250 messages and it’s only September...!

My Mountain Warehouse order turned up yesterday, so many thanks again to the poster who highlighted them. I forget about them every year and then buy one bargain package due to this thread! New showerproof spring coats for the kids just in time to start school today...

@Scbchl Friends central perk went down well with teen DD.

Olive & Sage have a summer sale on. I hadn’t come across them before but they do home and garden accessories. I bought the DDs this dragon for the garden which they will LOVE. £16 down from £22 and free delivery.

Although I suspect he may end up living in the sitting room once they see him...

Le Cruset Wine Set

Not quite as cheap but this one is £26

LE CREUSET Wine Accessories Gift Set, GS-141, including Lever pull Corkscrew and Wine-Glass Markers, LM150+WA151, Shiny Grey, 59210024700028 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00Q7CEZTM/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_KXhuFbPDWH575

Lego Friends Central Perk set is currently at its lowest price on Amazon at £50.39 according to ccc @Scbchl. You could grab a bargain!

This Estee lauder glow getter goft set is half price at boots from £100 to £49

Estee lauder

Out of my budget but brilliant price!!

@lilythepink32 it’s a Christmas thread where we all post bargains/offers/codes to help each other out to keep spending down!
I also like this thread as we recommend gifts for recipients too.

It’s generally a very friendly and happy thread, but be warned you may become addicted to finding bargains!!

Got the castle, many thanks!!

Now if anyone sees that blasted pirate ship on offer again....

[quote HaggisTheGreat]@pasinphoebe I have the urbanista wireless headphones. Never had the AirPods so can’t compare but I am happy with them. They are around £27 on Amazon, so a bit cheaper than the ones another PP linked to.

@Luxplus DD had the Barbie advent calendar one year and TBH it was a bit of a disappointment - most of it was the rubbishy plastic accessories such as shoes, headbands, “handbags” etc for the dolls, rather than actual clothes. And the shoes get lost very easily....[/quote]
You are a God among women. Been looking at those headphones for ages but they've always hovered around the £60 mark and I am cheap!

@Courtney555

Got the castle, many thanks!!

What castle?! What have i missed!

I need to buy a ps4. Not for Christmas but because I'm in the midst of a separation and he's taking the ps4 with him, which my DS1 is super sad and concerned about.

I don't know whether to buy a preowned one, or just buy a new one knowing its going to work and not be a gamble. I could stretch to a new one just about but can't see any offer codes or ways to get cashback etc.

If anyone sees any good deals or codes please let me know.

@YourHandInMyHand have a look at Cex add they do a 24 mth guarantee on their preowned consoles. You need to find one in stock near you though as the P&P otherwise wipes out the saving.

If your DC are into Pokemon books these manga style sets are a good price.

We got our PS4 on a lightening deal on Amazon, worth waiting for those! It was a bargaining came with about 6 games too.

[quote 999caffeineplease]**@Yeknom* @HanPanPeg* secondhand would definitely do just fine, it really is just the storage of it!

Might just need to make the cupboard of doom under the stairs off limits if I find one for a good price [/quote]
They went on offer last year via Ikea family because we got one for DD, if you sign up for Ikea family then keep an eye out. I reckon it was around November time. It wasn’t hard to build, took me and my Dad about an hour if that?

Have you seen this site for escape room games? I have visited their rooms and enjoyed playing the actual 'games'
If you find them on Facebook and message them they have mini games you can play online and win a discount code but not sure if it can be used to buy the puzzle games.
Escape games
On Facebook they're 'The panic rooms - Gravesend'

Lego movie maker is £21.99 down from £44.99

It’s for stop motion animation, rather than the usual building type set. Might be a good one for Lego obsessed kids if you don’t want to add more bricks to the Lego mountain.
