If you’re posting anything specifically for me please do @ me or I may not spot it. It’s helpful if when sharing bargain info you bold it to make it easy for people to differentiate between chat and bargain links.

[quote TuftyMarmoset]@RevolvingPivot I do a combination of looking out for bargains on the specific things on my list, and using these threads for inspiration for people for whom I don’t know what to get.[/quote]
I do the same as Tufty, I look out for what’s on my list but also get inspiration for other gifts for those I don’t have an idea for yet. It is such a great resource for that, and for present ideas for me too (Fiorelli bag looking at you!)
I also use these threads to fill up my kids party present box, whenever deals on things like craft sets or Lego sets are posted that are the right type and price I buy them then we gift to my kids friend’s whenever they go to birthday parties etc.

Lolly34h · 15/10/2021 09:16

@RevolvingPivot I don't write a list I use this thread and a couple of bargain pages on Facebook for inspiration. My older kids are 16 and 19 so don't ask for a lot. And my dd3 she just has what she's bought she's a bit little to ask for stuff yet.

brightwhite · 15/10/2021 09:19

@RevolvingPivot I find these threads useful for inspiration!

For example I'll always spend the same amount (ish) on dh but the other day I got a couple of reduced bits from fossil after seeing they had reductions on here so he'll get a lot more for his money.

DD doesn't benefit so much as I have a list and shop around myself for the bargains - sharing as I go!

I got me 2 F bags that will be presents from family so it passes the saving onto them too as they never know what to buy/ I don't know what to suggest!

The biggest help has been teacher gifts for the teacher and ta's and I've got them lovely stationary useful things rather than things they'll re gift like mugs and candles!

Everyone on here is so genuine and lovely too which is the icing on the Christmas cake!

I don't get my kids to write lists because I don't want them picking some crap Roblox toys for £40 that never get played with (as that's what happens when Granny takes them to Smyths for their birthday). This thread has given me some good deals on lego sets and games, also I just bought a £9 lava lamp so thanks for that tip.

toffeeshock · 15/10/2021 09:29

I don’t have a list of items either, I have a long list of people I need to buy for and these threads are great for providing inspiration. I bought a Fiorelli bag because I saw one in particular and thought it would be perfect for someone on my list. I wouldn’t use one myself but I have a £30 budget for this person and I know that they’ll love it. It’s a bit rude to call them ‘nan bags’ because plenty of people on here do like them.

Changingagain · 15/10/2021 09:34

RevolvingPivot I struggle to think of what to get for people so I mostly use it for inspiration, and as a bonus when it's suggested on here it's generally on offer.

The only time I've bought things simply because they're cheap is a couple of things each year for the local salvation army childrens presents collection but I will only get a maximum of two.

Elpheba · 15/10/2021 10:02

I saw Luna Skye playmobil world mentioned on here and then stumbled across this bundle they’ve got on clearance. I’m not a massive fan of the boy/girl aspect Hmm but looks like a lot of playmobil for £34. Have ordered one to split between stockings/party gift box/random presents.

I’m likely to be in primark in Leeds today. If anyone wants me to look for one of their oodies in anything in particular to purchase & post on let me know.

Hi guys, can I ask if there was any Spicery codes on the Legend kits? They're on sale already but wasn't sure. Thanks 😘

Daffodilthanks for posting - just ordered both my mum and my MIL the navy ones in large which were only £4 each!? Some reviews say large is too big but thought worth a punt at that price.

Just wanted to say a massive thanks to everyone posting so far. I've been lurking until now and never been on these threads before but it has been a brilliant help in getting organised/great value for Christmas.
So far have used the 10% Halfords voucher, got some fab games reco'd on here (blokus, skyjo, Pokemon battle), sorted my niece's bday and Christmas (hype tracksuit and beanie for £20! And a Joma bracelet/earrings - had not heard of this brand but all lovely/perfect for a pre-teen).

So thank you to you all Star

psuedocream3 · 15/10/2021 10:53

@RevolvingPivot I only buy what's on my list unless something comes up as a good filler present for the kids or stockings etc. I've resisted the wine, a F bags for example but agree the hype stuff was a massive bargain but middle Psuedo needs clothes so it was needed. I think I'm posting more than I'm buying!

20% off £50 spend at shopDisney with code MAGIC20 - ends Monday 8am

@RevolvingPivot like a lot of others I like browsing for inspiration but not just for looking at the items but sometimes there are shops or websites I've never heard of so I like having a look. I try not to get sucked in if there is nobody I can think of who would like the item Smile

IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile · 15/10/2021 11:00

This looks like a good stocking stuffer for hard to buy tweens. Maclaren remote control car with working lights in gold. Voucher takes it down to £7.50.

Please can you tell me what the offer was, I missed a large part of the last thread and my son is desperate for some Nike things. Have followed all 11 threads can’t believe I missed this.

It was posted on the last thread OCT21 got you an extra 20% off sale items but only until end of day Tuesday. Sorry you missed this one. There's still sale items, though.

Does anyone have an Argos code for a 40 pound spend that won’t use that you wouldn’t mind PMing?
