I thought I'd get the 'What have you bought today?' thread started a little earlier this year as I noticed a lot of us have already started our Christmas shopping :)

I've absolutely loved this thread over the past couple of years as it's given me so much inspiration when I've struggled to think what to get for people and has also helped me stay organised.

Happy Shopping!!!

Just two little items for stocking fillers today.
1x lipsmackers emoji mickey mouse shaped lipsmacker
1x coca cola cup lipsmacker
Both £1.49 Home Bargains rrp £5

That's stockings almost complete, just need to add perishables nearer the time (lush bathbombs, sweets, shiny red apple and tangerine).

Mario lego starter kit with mario tshirt for 32.99 from zavvi.com.

He's been asking for it for ages and it didn't seem worth it when it was £50. Just over 30 seems a good bargain coming with the tshirt as well.

We are likely going to order the new luigi set for his stepbrother for Xmas too so they can play together x

Not today, but I managed to pick up some physicians technique make up from Home Bargains recently which I’ve put up for my friend who I know likes it.

I start my Christmas shopping in December at the boots Boxing Day sale!

RainbowMumzy · 01/07/2021 23:09

Disney have a sale on! I've just ordered 3 Disney dolls (barbie style) for £20 in their 3 for 2 offer. These are for my friend's daughter. Then I got my daughter the disney princess bath toys. Really cheered me up.

Iseeyoulookingatme · 02/07/2021 14:15

I got some Harry Potter stuff from Aldi, they have loads in at the moment and I got some Harry Potter bits and bobs from Primark, including a lovely blanket which ds will love snuggling under. I'm doing ds a Harry Potter themed adventure calendar this year, I've got 19 bits so far so will probably fill the rest with sweets.

Shufflebumnessie · 07/07/2021 14:15

I haven't bought anything today but my Disney Store sale order arrived a couple of hours ago (that counts, right?).
For DD (4):
A Tiana doll (Barbie style) which I've just realised plays music and lights up when you press a button on the skirt. It's lovely!
A Frozen style hoodie (with a little cape!)
Pack of princess knickers (for stocking)
Tinkerbell tutu and wings.

Recently arrived for DS (9) via the Amazon Prime day deals & Disney sale:
Lego Ninjago Dragon set
2 x Harry Potter Lego sets
National Geographic experiments set
Harry Potter duvet set

AliceMcK · 08/07/2021 21:59

Got FILs gifts today, shirt and merino wool jumper in the sales

At the weekend I got a few stocking fillers, mainly for my to be 4yo from home bargains, lol lipstick case, Princess set (shoes, tiara etc..)
A unicorn play set.

Timeisavirtue · 08/07/2021 22:43

Brought my first thing today but only because it was a limited time deal. DS13 has been bugging me for a gaming laptop the last 2 years. He’s so serious this year he sent me a link for one he wanted. I managed to find it on very in thier limited time deals so to get £150 off and I get10% back as credit for selecting a buy now pay later option which suited me. I will check it turns on when it arrives and put it back exactly the same so he doesn’t suspect anything. That’s all he will be getting along with a few stocking presents. I don’t usually start my Christmas shopping until after dd birthday in September, but it was time sensitive.

73kittycat73 · 09/07/2021 11:37

Bought some stocking fillers in the Rex London sale. Nail files, lip gloss, etc.

NameChanged15729 · 10/07/2021 08:19

I’ve bought both of mine there main Christmas present. Probably seems early for that but they both have ASD so there interests are unlikely to change so much that they suddenly want something completely different.
I’ve bought the hot wheels T. rex garage for ds. This was a massive bargain on prime day. £36 instead of £90!
I’ve just ordered dd the Asda wooden princess castle. It’s been out of stock every time I’ve checked so ordered it just in case it goes again.

Bazoo23 · 10/07/2021 08:22

I've been buying since January, I already have loads Blush
So far today I've ordered an Our Generation doll outfit half price from Amazon.
