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.

Does anyone know of anywhere that might have last years Lego City advent calendar for a reasonable price? It’s £34.99 on amazon which I think is almost double the RRP Hmm I’ve seen that there’s a new one coming out soon but I think my son would prefer the little items from last year.

Looking for ideas for gifts 11 year old boy with a new interest in anime. Naruto especially but can’t find much that isn’t really expensive. ( or from wish or Ali express but have no experience with those?!)
He’s so much harder to buy for this year.

@Wait4nothing Yes, have ordered direct from Yoshi a few times with no issues at all. I wouldn't expect amazon style instant delivery, but we've got lots of time til Christmas! I've got one of the book shelf style ones, I've had for a couple of years and it's still looking good!

Charlotte tilbury have a sale on. They’ve got a mystery box with 7 full size items for £134. I don’t know much about the brand tbh but apparently this is a good deal. You can find out what’s in the box by Googling it as there are some reviews on YouTube. Just make sure it’s the aug 2021 box you look for.

CoffeethenCrochet · 09/08/2021 22:50

@Puffalicious did you need a code for the buy one get one free oodie deal? It's only giving me £25 off not bogof on the oodie website? Would be amazing to get bogor Smile

Tesco have big Scentos scented colouring sets for £10 instead of £20 if you have a Clubcard. I picked up a couple tonight - the box is big and they look really good, definitely worth £10. You could even split the contents into gifts / stocking fillers for multiple children.

There is also a £20 Scentos craft box which is £10 Clubcard price.

Not a bargain sorry but argos have ps5 in stock just now if anyone is looking for one

Thegirlhasnoname · 10/08/2021 06:53

Slightly odd one but [https://twolittlepickles.co.uk/collections/sale Two Little Pickles] have a sale on. Mainly a cloth nappy shop (have used many times) but they do have some wooden toys and other such gifts. Doesn’t work on the sale items but TLPEMMA gets you a discount too

I’m not Emma that the discount code was generated for! But I did add some discounted wooden toys to my latest nappy order… and there I was naively thinking cloth nappies would save money in the long run 😅

Thegirlhasnoname · 10/08/2021 06:54

Well that was a quick link fail 🤦🏻‍♀️

Two Little Pickles wooden toys and other gifts (plenty of cloth nappies too!)

Wait4nothing · 10/08/2021 07:03

Perfect - I’ve found a wallet that fits the brief and 10% off first order by signing up for mail list plus free standard delivery! Thank you!

Now to keep the sale bag for myself out of the basket!

Givealittlebit · 10/08/2021 08:16

Ahh it's so exciting seeing lots of familiar names popping up! My (slightly odd) contribution is if anyone got superhero obsessed kids I found this in the book department at Tesco's last night. £1.50 for an activity book and magnet play scheme with magnets too. I thought it was a bargain!
Hoping to pop back this morning to get a few for the present cupboard

Just realised it's £14.99 on Amazon so it really is a bargain!

Jumpingintosummer · 10/08/2021 09:28

Teen DD is obsessed with the TV show Friends. Has anyone seen any bargain Friends stocking fillers?

Oliveandsage · 10/08/2021 09:35

If anyone is near Lakeside in Thurrock, I went to the Disney store yesterday and it’s closing on the 12th August. Everything is coming up 50% off at the tills!

Yeknom · 10/08/2021 09:44

@Jumpingintosummer Sainsbury's had all their Friends stationery reduced to clear in our local store

Doghairismyglitter · 10/08/2021 09:45

If anyone knows of any great car encyclopaedia type books suitable for a 5 year old can you please let me know? As in makes and models and lots of photos. DC is car mad and loves being read about all the specifications etc!

Soberanne · 10/08/2021 09:48

Anton that's the Oodie message I'm still getting on FB. Thanks for linking. Good luck coffeethencrochet

Daisy829 · 10/08/2021 10:04

Friends trivial pursuit on amazon has been down to £3 recently. Worth keeping an eye on.

CoffeeAndDryShampoo · 10/08/2021 10:22

Thanks @Iwantahippopotamusforchristmas just ordered for DS!

StarfishSleeper · 10/08/2021 10:47

There were quite a few Friends bits in my local Aldi some of them reduced if I remember correctly.

Does anyone have a code for argos? I have a basket worth £85 and I can't quite bring myself to check out
