Christmas bargains prequel thread

[Sideorderofchips]

Come one, come all it is time once again for the Christmas bargain prequel thread for 2021!

Hi everyone! I followed the Christmas threads last year for first time - or tried to as they moved too fast! - and thought of you guys this morning when I got a camel camel alert.

Jolly Christmas postman is down to £8.46 on Amazon - lowest it's been for a year.

Hi all!! I followed the thread last year. I found some of the Acorn wood board books, Postman Bear, hid and seek pig, Rabbit's nap and Fox's socks for £2:49 in Aldi. This is the cheapest I've found.

The Entertainer has their B Friend doll range reduced. Just bought 3 dolls, a 4 outfits/accessories and a loft bed for £72 instead of about £200. I think my 4 year old will love them. There’s more I want to buy so hoping they’re still on offer next month when it’s pay day again.

The cinnamon roll bake kits are down to £3.08 this morning BUT you need to buy 2 at once. They were delicious so won't last till Christmas! Not sure if the date would last anyway but a good price 😋

I still have my cinnamon roll kit because I had to stay home with cinnamon hating people. Its going to be a half term treat for when I finally get to my parents house.

Could anyone help me with the cheapest or best way to buy an Xbox console for ds's birthday in July? We're looking either for the new s series of the Xbox one S console second hand. I may just have to bite the bullet.

We also need a TV to go with it.

And if anyone can explain to me why I have agreed to this, I would also be grateful.

The Entertainer have a sale on, online and instore. I saw some jigsaws instore down to £1 each - sadly DS1 was with me at the time so I couldn't pick up anything!

Also Entertainerthey have some fab bits for kids who are into our generation/designafriend/18 inch dolls. B friend's tent and working lantern £6 was £20, hair styling chair £6.25 was £25, they also had loft bed I think it was £8 or less and wheelchair set £6 ish. Bought the tent a few weeks bag for £10 and thought it was a bargain then, the little lantern makes cricket sounds.

Boden code here for anyone who wants it?

@Tolouse have a look at Cex - second hand but guaranteed for 24mths.
Ds got an xbox one s for xmas and it's been great - definitely need 1TB or an external hardrive though, 500gb is not big enough.
Also, unless you specifically want a tv, it's best to get a computer monitor as they give better results (lots of tech specifications about refresh rates etc!) magicsize

Some fab HarryPotter stuff in Aldi. The 500 piece jigsaws for £4.99 look great and I can’t find them online but instore yesterday they had amazing 3D jigsaws for only £9.99.

@Someaddedsugar thank you!!

@sorryiasked This is Tolouse - l name changed. Thanks very much for that 24 months is really good. Thank you even more for the computer monitor tip. I'm completely new to this and didn't know that. We have a spare already, so you've just saved me £100+

Happy to join you all, I think it's about my 6th or so year now. Normally, I use this thread for specifics and fill in little bits from the charity shops. Due to the closures, this is my least organised year to date, I normally have about half the stuff I want, and this year I have...precisely zero.

I’ve picked a few “free” just pay shipping, things up off wish already as stocking fillers, Harry Potter themed necklaces, makeup, fidget stuff. Got a peppa pig cardboard house to colour in from Aldi for my peppa obsessed 3yo.

Unfortunately I havnt done my usual January blitz in the sales for Christmas themed bits for obvious reasons. I like to rummage in the shops rather than buy online, but hoping to make up for that now. I still plan to be done by October though.

Does anyone know if Marks and Spencer will have a 20/ off anytime soon

This was on hot deals U.K. boots have half price Champneys items. The hand set with bamboo bowl looks nice

You've got this all wrong. Surely the best time to make delicious cinnamon treats is while you're the only person in the house who's going to eat them?

Poundtoy have 50% off their clearance items with MOVE50

I’ve just spent £46 on some lovely stocking fillers for my girls (not all from the clearance section but still good prices) pikmipop toys, watercolour paint set, play doh bath soap and of course the naff little bits, reindeer poop putty, those little bugs with the wiggly legs in a little wooden box, slinky and touchable bubbles etc.

Typo have a big sale on at the moment. I've just had some lovely bits for ds new bedroom but they have loads of gift things.

If you out galt craft into amazon there's some good bargains for age 5-8

I've just ordered the 2 in the picture

turtle doves have got 25% off their from the box gloves
