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.

@Heartshapedrocks I also agree with Lnix about the old shape / new shape thing. I felt this one was a bit sturdier and better quality than the new shape one. Although DD wanted the old shape one the same as her big cousin anyway so it was a win win for me.

@HarveySpectorWins
Good to know!!

@UrbanMage

I was just on the hobbycraft website and noticed that they do craft/ art courses through classbento. So I checked out the site and there are some great ideas for the potentially difficult to buy for/ crafty types. Not exactly bargainous, but definitely might help someone

Amazing! As you say, to bargainous. But loads on there that DD will love. I've bookmarked it to see if any deals come up.

@BigGreen

I bought the baby pink with tropical foliage Rex London backpack in the sale recently, which was a particularly good buy for £3.95. Link here.

The reusable coffee mugs were great value at £1.95 as well - little larger than a regular cappuccino though.

Thank you also got the backpack and a few little stocking fillers

Just seen previews of some of the supermarkets Christmas food ranges have been released for this year, this made me so happy (and hungry!)

Ooooh @Doghairismyglitter where did you see those?

Thegrocer.co.uk, Co-op, Asda, Aldi and Tesco 🤗

For those with nerdy / fact-loving kids aged 7-12, TK Maxx have some fantastic hardback books.

Darwin kids book £5.99

Life on earth origins book £4.99

Engineering fact book £4.99

20,000 leagues puzzle book £4.99

Thanks for the Happy Puzzle Company sale shout via TCB. Got some amazing looking games!

im looking for a river island discount code if anyone has one x

Sorry can't remember who posted about not being able to find the bluey grannies figures, they appear to be in stock along with loads of other sets on the entertainer toyshop website x

Has anyone ever used Amazon Black Friday sale? I've always been finished for Christmas by then so never taken much notice before but wondering if it'd be worth hanging on this year and ordering things in the sale.
How good is it usually?

@MrsMercury same! Im desperate for a river island discount , my basket is rather full 😂

@MrsMercury have pm'd u a code for river only 10% plus free delivery over £50

Has anybody seen any good deals on schleich unicorns?

@17caterpillars1mouse the cheapest I found last year was from Toys and Learning
www.toysandlearning.co.uk/search.php?pg=1&stext=Unicorn&Search=Search

Hamleys had a 3 for 2 last year that included some less unusual Schleich but they struggled to fulfill my order on other stuff last year so not keen on them.

@17caterpillars1mouse Ride on Toys have a few in the sale too

@17caterpillars1mouse rideontoys have some unicorns in their sale.

Cross post!

This is a brilliant toy! Wasn't it a tenner last year? I'd already ordered it at over £30 from Very, but grabbed the bargain one, as even without Prime and having to pay postage it was an amazing price!

Hi @Reastie and everyone else. Have been on these threads the last couple of years but have name changed again. Thanks for all the bargains posted so far!
Just adding that baker ross have a clearance sale on at the moment plus 10% off when you spend over £25. Really good quality art and craft bits

@NoWordForFluffy- CCC lowest was £14.99 July 2020.
