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

@teaorwine Boden’s up to 50% off sale starts on Thursday so it’s likely your item will be reduced then

AmberRoseGold · 15/12/2020 06:41

@Delahot otherwise maybe have a pack of Christmas pencils from the Works (10 for £1) usually in case of any surprise issues or chocolate haters?

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 15/12/2020 07:01

@Delahot, Mini Moos have a Santa and a snowman in their collection this year. Most supermarkets carry them.

teaorwine · 15/12/2020 07:31

@recklessgrangran thank you, that’s so kind of you. @dolphinsdot, thank you. Is it possible to use the discount code on the sale?

Dolphintrainer · 15/12/2020 07:46

@teaorwine it would be unusual for Boden to allow the code on the sale. Plus, depending on the value of the item you want to order, prior to the sale the code may give free delivery too, where as with the sale they charge delivery. Until the end of the sale period and then your item will probably be sold out. So one to weigh up.

Has anyone seen the leapfrog leapstart 3d on offer please? Gutted I didn't buy it when it was reduced to £28 on Amazon Sad

villamariavintrapp · 15/12/2020 08:42

The leapfrog ice cream cart is £17.96 in Costco.

TildaTurnip · 15/12/2020 09:11

Thanks everyone on here. From this year’s threads, I have got £50 off the Nintendo Switch, 2 x £14.99 Blokus, the hedgehog Sylvanians for £10 ish, books, puzzles, a beautiful little initialised pouch bag from Anthropology (£30+ down to £8), a wooden pull along rabbit for a baby gift and so much more that I don’t remember and have likely already wrapped! Brilliant ideas and savings!

TheGirlWhoLived · 15/12/2020 09:20

@thaegumathteth I’ve gone for the other one Grin the £1 cheaper just stood out to me Wink

sugarplumfairy2010 · 15/12/2020 09:52

I've just twitched and bought blokus.x

Bezzi · 15/12/2020 10:27

I do not need Blokus, I do not need Blokus 🐑 🐑 🐑

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 15/12/2020 10:42

Pretty please does anyone have a working myhermes code I could use

Haveyoubrushedyourteeth · 15/12/2020 10:44

@Delahot, if you're near an M&S food store it might be worth a pop in there. Ours seem to have reduced the festive dairy free kiddy chocolates already, I think I possibly spotted a chocolate penguin?

Lovemusic33 · 15/12/2020 10:49

@Bezzi

I do not need Blokus, I do not need Blokus 🐑 🐑 🐑
I have been telling myself this too 🤣
ZIGGY911 · 15/12/2020 10:51

I've now decided I want to do a cushion cover for my daughter made up of a college of photos. Can anyone recommend anywhere?

PinkDaydreams · 15/12/2020 10:52

@eastmidswarwicknightnanny

I’ve used Hermès regularly for years and have only ever once had a code that worked. I can’t seem to get any codes to work for them sorry
ZIGGY911 · 15/12/2020 10:54

Sorry collage not college!

SomethingInTheWaySheCooks · 15/12/2020 11:05

Oh dear I’ve just bought a snow machine 😂 and I can’t even recommend it as it wasn’t bargainous 😊

TheCrow · 15/12/2020 11:11

Buyagift 25% off with code RUDOLPH extended until tonight

I'm recommending them as both times I messaged with an issue I've had a response and a solution really quickly

I'm also absolutely going to have to buy an Among Us colouring book now that you've told me they exist 😂

Chunkychipsohyeah · 15/12/2020 11:31

Does anyone have a Lakeland code, please? A £5 off £30 would be perfect. Thanks in advance!

ClaraTheImpossibleGirl · 15/12/2020 11:48

*Buckley London jewellery have a buy one get one free sale on here

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 15/12/2020 12:08

@PinkDaydreams was hoping some kind person may share a uni days code for myhermes????

sorryiasked · 15/12/2020 12:12

@eastmidswarwicknightnanny if you have two Ebay accts (or know someone who won't mind) set up a listing for a box weighing whatever you need for 99p with free postage. Then buy it yourself using the second acct (so in effect paying yourself 99p). You can then get Ebay's discounted rates to send it wherever you need ad you can edit the address details. (I did it yesterday on a ups next day which is currently half price so I sent 3.5kg for under £4)

whoknows1230 · 15/12/2020 12:41

Does anyone have a Matalan code they could share with me please? I have one but it's for instore use only and they don't have the colour I want instore.
