Thanks @GoblinDaughter for the title

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 struggling with what to get ds3 aged 7. So I've just got him Osmo for the fire tablet in Amazon's cyber Monday deals

Has anyone seen the V-Tech husky on sale still? It dropped £55 to £30 on Black Friday on Amazon and I nearly bought for DD2 but she hadn’t mentioned it. Today she’s decided to ask Father Christmas for it... Aaaargh!

Queuing4Fergs · 30/11/2020 19:31

For the PP who was looking at gaming chairs

I tried to buy 2 on Friday at Argos but couldn't get the ones I was looking for in any of the stores. Looked on eBay and was so desperate I was about to buy the one I wanted at over £100 more than the price Argos advertised (I know i deserve to be kicked off this thread Blush)

I was just about to purchase when I thought I'd check Argos one last time and lo and behold the ones I wanted were available from my local store! So happy (and richer as I could also use £100 of my nectar points towards the cost Grin)

So moral of the story is if the one you're after isn't in stock in your store, check every few days just in case.

FYI, my DSs wanted the Xrocker brand. I've heard that Brazen is also a good brand. And I was advised to check the Amazon EU sites also

HTH

I’m acting as personal shopper for my stepdad. He wants a “long silky scarf” for my mum. She’s 76. Any ideas? I don’t have a clue where to start for silky scarves!

Puffalicious · 30/11/2020 20:32

mrsdiddlydoo I can concur wooden is best. We have a very similar one with wooden, coin disappearing box that DS3 8 still pulls out 3 years later.

PinkJam · 30/11/2020 20:37

@BadgerFace It’s showing as back in stock on Amazon from 6th December but at the higher price unfortunately.

ItWasTheBestOfTimes · 30/11/2020 21:03

@BeauticianNotMagician81 I added the mellow Christmas collection and the Black Friday special to basket, added the £20 off code first and then the free delivery code. I’ve just tried again and it said the voucher was not applicable to my basket so they must have realised and pulled it sorry.

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 30/11/2020 21:04

@ItWasTheBestOfTimes thank you. I was hoping for a bargain. Grin I'm not doing very well this year.
