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.

Ordered my daughters oodie yesterday so that’s a present off the list

@SpamIAm thank you. I have just ordered mine. Couldn't work out how to get it for £25

@ScarlettDarling

There’s some great stocking fillers in the Nails inc sale I loved the crystal infused lip glosses reduced to £7.50 and the sparkle like a unicorn nail polish duo reduced to £10.50. If you use the voucher code VCUK342 at checkout then you can get three items for the price of two. That works on sale items too.

Thank you for this! Just got my teen daughter a make up bag filled with lovely bits for £16!

@Reastie I can't thank you enough for these threads. Just the spirit of them made it feel like Xmas last year when everything else was so strange. Thank you ❤️
And to all who post bargains, cheers and merry Xmas shopping! 🥂

@Scout2016 Kukubird had a leggings sale last month (I think), which said it was the last 2 for £5 offer 😫

If anyone sees a bargainous one of these, I’m after one for DD. This one is from Dunelm called a cuddle cushion

@PaddingtonPaddington aldi had these last year around November.

Football puzzle book only £2 - good for stocking stuffer.

Saw this online PaddingtonPaddington haven't checked my local Home Bargains though.

@FoolShapeHeart oh no! Here I am thinking maybe I'm starting too early and I'm actually too late. Thanks anyway. Might try my luck with the terribly named Rainbows and Sprinkles.

Thank you that’s fab, I’ll go take a look tomorrow! The one in Dunelm is £25

Thank you will keep an eye out if I can’t find one at Home Bargains

@Scout2016

I have two pairs of rainbows and sprinkles leggings (turtles and clown fish) and love them. They are so comfortable, but definitely size down as they are very generous sizing. They wash very well, I've had mine since April and they still look brand new

Did the previous poster (so sorry my mind has gone blank) who had the Amazon happy nappers in their basket buy them? Just wondering what the quality was like as still deliberating - DS is still talking about the bloody things 😂

Not sure if it's been posted but Hobbycraft have a load of craft items on sale - paint your own moneyboxes for £2 and colour in carboard castles/rockets/shops etc for £10 (reduced from £17).

@msssm that’s lovely to hear. Happy Christmas shopping!!!

@Scout2016 I've bought from Rainbows and Sprinkles - they're lovely :)

@SpottyBumPony

I ordered a Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser for myself, there was some chocolate reduce to £4.00 (best before Aug but that's OK for us), I got the £35 off with VELV35KCFMICIT and a pop up came up offering me a free Everything Sleekster box. I deleted the sleekster code and added the velvetiser code but the sleeker still came up free. Woop, my code was Sleekser-BT6HCMNG5D. I don't know if that would work or if you'd need your own pop up code.

Quidco too

Thanks so much, just ordered! You get your own code for the chocs!

Jumped on the cookbook offer bandwagon - thanks for the tip off!!

Typo order arrived and, like last year, super pleased with all the items. Gave a shower speaker and teen quote candle as part of a birthday gift today and they went down a storm. The shower speaker is a bargain at £6 instead of £20. I've ordered more for Xmas gifts. The paper lights also brilliant at £5.

@Someaddedsugar I'm not that poster but I've ordered one, every time that advert comes on DS reminds me he wants one so I bit the bullet, it should be here in a couple of weeks I'll update you on the quality when it gets here!

Thanks @Onlyahalfbottle. I'd rather not pay the extortionate happy nappers price if it can be avoided

Thanks for the rainbows & sprinkles into. Not heard of them but they’ve got guinea pig leggings & horse leggings which are my DDs fave animals so I’ve got some pairs for them

Looks like the free chocs are out of stock, but went for it with the velvetizer as wanted one for ages, thank you!

@Someaddedsugar I was the poster with them in my basket but I wasn't brave enough to buy. @Onlyahalfbottle I hope that you are pleased with yours.
Thank you everyone for this thread. I was a lurker last year and it is just such a lovely atmosphere here.

Lots of reduced toys on argos at the moment, got some half price peppa bits for DS :)
