Thread one - the one with no name of note

[Reastie]

It feels bizarre setting up the first Christmas thread on one of the hottest days of the year, yet here we are!

Lovely to see you all; take a seat and grab a mince pie as they get passed around.

Please do alert me to anything for the next thread's page of links (I'm starting fresh this year). Hope you've had a good year and looking forward to celebrating and sharing our bargain buys.

White Company has a sale on with an extra 10 % off sale prices. Some nice candles and bath sets

Can anyone recommend a good powerbank? The last one I got didn't last long

Just bought some gifts from ESPA under offers they have a Christmas section
www.espaskincare.com/christmas/view-all.list

they also do keyworker 30% discount but not on sale items.

Mine have been delivered today and also primark - very disappointing

@FoxsSocks1 and @InDreamland the rest of the Acorn Wood books (8 in total) are on offer for 50% off on Amazon at £3.50 each

I can't be bothered sending them back and paying the postage. It's the chance you take with those sites I suppose. Oh well, snuddies it is

Oh no - worried about my oodie/kuddly now :(

Did it come in any packaging? Mine is in clear plastic with a kudd.ly piece of paper in. I wasn't going to open the packet but now I'm thinking it might be Primark?

@WhatICallMyUsername thank you ☺️

Just caught up on the thread and have seen this message. I am 😊, baby due in November. Trying to get organised now, so have everything for Christmas sorted before baby arrives!

Was in a grey plastic bag/packaging. The label has been tampered with and the primark writing cut off.

Thinking that the kuddly and oodie labels are probably fake and stitched in to be honest.

If it makes you feel better, the "Oodies" from there aren't genuine. People were comparing genuine to the bargain ones and the differences were fairly obvious if you had a genuine one. I also saw someone contact Oodie who confirmed using the label details. One the bright side we have a mix of Oodie, Kudd.ly and Primark here and the Primark are comparable with the Kudd.ly. You'll still be snug!

Thanks. DS1 has a primark one which he loves. I'd have gone for a better design than boring blue but still, for £14 delivered they will be fine I'm sure!

We have the primark ones from last year and they’re snuggly. Not sure if that’s any consolation though, soz

I've moved on

Bargain game, even if the instructions are in German. I'll Google and print them off before I wrap.

Ubongo £2.90

I'll disappointed if mine are Primark with that cut label, partly because I avoid shoping there and second because at least one was to be a gift. I know the recipient probably wouldn't mind Primark, but that doctored label doesn't look great for a gift.

I have some plain (fake?) oodies on order - I agree that I wouldn’t normally shop at Primark but I wasn’t expecting proper branded ones really.

Out of interest, how much are the primark ones when bought in store? Does anyone know?

Thanks for the thread - have lurked for many years.

I was actually planning on ordering one of those oodies for my son tonight. How much do the age 2-4 ones cost in Primark? I don't want to order and then find out I could have bought it in-store in Primark for cheaper.

I was expecting real ones 😂 no idea why!

I think the adult sizes cost more in primark but the cut label is annoying.

My lot will be too distracted by suddenly having to learn German anyway

Bought the lego dots for my 8 year old, thanks to the poster who shared the bargain.

They're advertising plain grey kids ones on the website for £12. I think I paid about £12ish for a Minnie Mouse one for DD who was 6 last year. Smaller sizes might be cheaper

watching with interest. Christmas yay!!

Hi all, don't mind me, just place marking!😚had to ask for help to find this thread! i was looking for a thread four!😆😁

that Lego dots voucher has never appeared for me on that offer not sure why. Have checked a few times since originally posted

The chicken "oodie" I wanted is out of stock on that 5poundstuff website :( I might just hold off and see what other oodie-type bargains come up over the next few months.
