It’s nearly December, Father Christmas is busy putting the final touches to his toys on the workshop and we are busy elves preparing for a somewhat different Christmas this year.

please post any bargain info IN BOLD to make it easier to scroll through the thread.

To make things bold you:
Put a star each side of what you want to make bold like this but without the space between the star and the writing *

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 Thanks

I was one of those confused ones in the Aldi website at midnight without the need to queue. Got the phone and AirPods so pleased. Now I just need a Windows laptop for under £300. So hard to find any in stock. Am I missing any obvious retailers? I’ve tried Curry’s, Argos, Amazon, John Lewis, Very and ao. Would love to get this sorted out today.

Agreeing with @famousthehero that Little Blue Hen shampoo bars are the best..and I've tried loads of brands. Worth the money.

Grin I got up at 6 and panicked something really bargainous had happened in the night as when I left you you were on page 3 and it was suddenly page 11.
Reminds me of mates queuing for Live Aid 1985 tickets and asking if we wanted some and we said "nah, not bothered" Confused

EMP are doing hourly changing offers today. Deals were better yesterday, they had some loungefly bags 70% off! (I dithered and missed them though!) Hoping some decent stuff comes up, dd has a massive wishlist from there 😂 i did get her a slipknot hoodie for £15 and pusheen tshirt for £8.

qwertee has reduced all tshirts in the tee shop and free postage and Xmas socks when buying 8

If anyone sees stranger things bits cheap im looking for some stocking fillers for dd. (Shes only on season 1)

TheCrow · 27/11/2020 08:41

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts toys for s pound had stranger things dorbz figures for £1 and I think they've just added some other figures but haven't got time to look as I'm doing the school run. Doing a search for stranger things should bring them up 🙂

ClaraTheImpossibleGirl · 27/11/2020 08:42

Harrys Chocs have 15% off with code BLACKFRIDAY15 - lovely chocolates made and designed by people with autism - I'm not being greedy when I eat them, I'm doing my bit for charity Grin here

As mentioned upthread, Buckley London jewellery have everything on sale here - it's costume jewellery but really nice stuff - shame they don't seem to be doing their Christmas baubles again this year.

Thank you to everyone who has recommended bottles of bubbly to me!!

pasinphoebe · 27/11/2020 08:42

Sorry this might be too vague to be helpful
Grin but Amazon lightning deals do have some orchard toys games across the day (you can watch deals) as well as k nex sets and I noticed a set of COPIC pens later today too.

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 27/11/2020 08:42

Oh and I've seen boggle on offer on amazon. My mum and boyfriend really enjoy playing scrabble and bananagrams is it worth buying this too or is it too similar? If it is any suggestions on a gift for them?
(I'm not a fan of any, would rather a board game or card game!)

SomethingInTheWaySheCooks · 27/11/2020 08:49

I was really hoping that somehow I could find a discount off the new Apple Watch...

Graffitiqueen · 27/11/2020 08:50

I need a 2020 iPad and a kindle paper white. Really disappointed as camelcamel says it was £85 last November but no decent deals this year.

CoffeeAndEnnui · 27/11/2020 08:52

50% off almost everything at pop culture gift site Fan Grrrl today with BF50 Smile

As in previous years, worth noting that this is a one-woman operation so shipping can take a couple of weeks but it's well worth the wait as there as some very cool goodies on there.

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 27/11/2020 08:54

50% off personalise Santa sacks at The Handmade Christmas Coo* with code BLACKFRIDAY

ClaraLane · 27/11/2020 08:58

Can any of you lovely bunch recommend a website to send houseplants in the post please? I’ve googled but not having much luck!

FluffyFluffMonster · 27/11/2020 08:59

I just got the house bag from olie Ella from the link above with one holdie folk. Any ideas for other little dolls at a good price?

ActionsLike · 27/11/2020 09:03

I’ve had a successful morning, managed to get everything on my list at a discount. The Thomas Sabo bracelet I wanted suddenly became out of stock on their site but was cheaper and in stock in John Lewis.

Neom has a free candle with purchase today

Notlongnow1 · 27/11/2020 09:05

@anydreamwilldo12 aaaw I'm glad. Made my morning! Would love to be 5 again for a day!

thelegohooverer · 27/11/2020 09:08

SparklingLime · 27/11/2020 09:10

@Famousthehero, “a clam and a claw” has finished me! 😂😂

Pawpawpaws · 27/11/2020 09:14

@SpamIAm I used code PAPWP at Very last week to get £20 off (can’t remember what min spend was but it worked for me in basket of £60) don’t know if code is still working as you can only use once

Just about to put a popcorn code on the Vodafone thread if anyone needs one!

Adelais · 27/11/2020 09:24

I don’t know much about video games but this seems like a good deal for just £5.99?! They do a version for the PS4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox.
