Christmas bargain thread 1

[Reastie]

Greetings folks, it’s that time again!

Starting a fresh for 2021, so if anyone has any specific links they’d like or think would be handy to add to the list for the next thread please do let me know.

Hope you’ve all had a better year so far than last year and here’s hoping things will be at a point for a more celebratory Christmas with friends and family (and lots of bargains) this year.

Zatu have a sale on, they are often cheaper than other places without a sale. Board and card games, figures etc, adults' and kids'.

I’ve ordered some bits from pound toy, I was impressed last year so will hopefully be good again this year.

If anyone is looking for fillers for your own advent calendar Mama Tigerlily is offering 25 pairs of handmade earrings for £40, just search on FB.

Just seen this Lego dots desk tidy set on Amazon reduced to £10. Bought a couple for the present cupboard.

@merylsqueak I don't know a brand to recommend but I can tell you to avoid sensatanail. Its supposed to last 10 days chip free and it doesnt even last 24 hours. Waste of money!

Julia Donaldson’s loft the flap books Hide and Seek Pig is only £3 and Cat’s Cookbook, new release, is £4.50 which are great prices for very popular books for up to 4 year olds. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1529034361/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Checking in. Just got the lego friends glamping set bargain, so thanks for that. My daughter will be 12 in January, getting harder to think of things for her but she still plays with lego friends.

Also ordered the hot chocolate shaker

Good to know@woodwaj. Thanks

30% off at Selfish Mother today only with code 30%TODAY

Thank you all for the doctor's kit idea, plenty to browse through! Also to @Thisisbatshit good idea to get real things, I'd thought about doing that myself then questioned whether I was a bit mad!!!

Good morning all.

Thanks to the prequel threads I'm not far off being completed. Certainly for Nieces/nephews/cousins etc.

Mine will be 6 and 4 this year and I think we're going to upgrade their tablets for Christmas.

Their birthdays are Nov bland Dec so it really is so much easier to spread the cost now. Ds4 is paw patrol obsessed. He's asked for a lookout tower. Any recommendations? I know they are quite expensive so any bargains would be hugely helpful.

Last year's candles came in handy as thank you teacher gifts. So that saves me lots of hassle.

Thanks so much, I cannot wait for Christmas 🎅🎄☃️

Does anyone use Topcashback? I’m thinking I should probably sign up - is it worth it?

We have for years and buy nearly everything through it. Got thousands back.

Does anyone have any suggestions how I can get a Robo dog paw patrol figure? I have seen they come in the big transporters etc which I really can't justify buying (cost and space) but feel slightly guilty as DS asks all the time 🙁 the ones on ebay are really pricy for what they are and will blow a chunk of budget for not alot!

happy puzzle co have a good sale on. 1000 piece jigsaws from £3.39, brain teaser puzzles, HP 300 & 500 piece puzzles, logic games etc .

Morning! One Hundred Stars LINK
Have a sale on at the moment - some lovely dressing gowns and kimonos there

Yeah my son says we have 2! Just got to find it!

Wow that's incredible, thank you. I can pay you for it of course. I'm so pleased 😁

(I'm assuming your son doesn't mind of course!!!)

I have just bought LEGO 75967 Harry Potter Forbidden Forest: Umbridge’s Encounter Building Set with Giant Grawp and 2 Centaur Figures from Amazon it is £22.99 but there is a voucher to add for £7.03 off so worked out at £15.96.

Yes definitely, I don't do loads of shopping online but even so I probably get about £100 back a year through it

@MerylSqueak
I use the manicure company and have for a few years. I'm currently adding in the mylee range as I find it good quality, bigger bottles and cheaper.

Thanks just got the Lego dots and Julia Donaldson books
