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.

@alrightfella Amazon USA have these ones come to about 25 quid with shipping to the UK

£3.99 delivery on the radios though. I just can't do it 🤣

I did it as it was still a bargain!

Absolutely love these threads, my twins are 14 next week & been on here since they were about 4, can’t imagine how much money I’ve saved over the years. If any teens are looking for Calvin Kline boxers, House of Fraser have a pack of 3 reduced to £19, there is a £4.99 delivery fee but still a bargain.

Any bargain ideas for a 12 yr old boy - £15-20 range. Not football and not lego.
I really don’t want to resort to a gift card.

It's cheaper to preorder from the Bloomsbury website than Amazon and you also get an exclusive tote bag.

LostMyRubySlippers thank you that's exactly the kind of thing I'm after. I've got that saved to my list hopefully it drops it a little to make it a bargain.

Thank you I'll have a look for something like that. I'm pretty useless when it comes to football stuff and he's only just started getting really into it and now it's the only thing he's interested in

Thanks for the prequel threads. I have blanket hoodies on the way (loved mine so much last winter I bought me another one and 2 for the kids). Plus the megalodon shark technic set.

I’ve been on these threads for 9 or 10 years. Very thankful for the bargains and ideas. I don’t usually find much myself but this is a nice Lego gift for £10.

Lego Dots Message Board.

Make sure to tick the voucher box to get £7.99 off and bring it down to £10.

Worth checking your Amazon wish for any random vouchers to apply.

Warning - this is a bargain but it’s a bit specific.

armani have last years advent calendar in sake for £175 down from £250. The 7 full size items alone are worth £215 bought separately. There’s then 9 travel and miniatures and 50ml of Armani perfume in 5/7 ml bottles.

also if you spend £80 there is a free gift - a nude Armani vanity case and another 7ml perfume.

When I click there isn't a voucher just the price of £17.99

@NightOwl101 it looks like the voucher deal has ended now. It was there about 30min ago ☹️

Just joining - feeling very disorganised this year, which seems an odd thing to say in August!

Bought the magic maths game for DD and the Lego dots - I have a couple of people I could give this to - what sort of age would it be suitable for? (My two are younger so no idea about older ones!)

They are price matching with Argos, this is in the Argos 2 for £20 sale if that helps?

Just ordered this Lego set on Amazon, £8 reduced from £18.

LEGO 60325 City Great Vehicles Cement Mixer Truck Toy, Construction Vehicle Starter Building Set for Preschool Kids 4 Years Old amzn.eu/d/3OzyEOK

Maybe books on a football theme as well?- there is the Charlie Fry/ football boy wonder series and also a big series of player biographies which are aimed at kids

Oh no! Sorry about that. It was definitely still there when I posted.

I was planning to get this Lego dots set for my DD- she is 6 but v nearly 7 by Christmas.
last year she got a Lego dots bracelet set & she has played with them a lot

The voucher is still there for me for the Lego dots.

Hi everyone i love these threads i think its my third year on them!

Amazon have some good reductions on magnetic tiles just going to be getting some for my niece for her birthday. Sorry for the link not very good at them!

My second is due November 18th though i am hoping for earlier as having a csection, does that count as a thread baby?
Im hoping to have as much of my shopping done as possible as i wont be able to drive and want to be organised

Me too.

Yep the voucher is back! Go go @NightOwl101

Lego dots voucher still working for me. I got DS nearly 6 some dots recently and they went down really well, he loves making pictures with them but if I'm being honest, I think I play with them more than he does 😄

Thanks

I have bought the lego dots for my nephew, but am very tempted to keep them for myself or buy another set for my home!

If it is of use to anyone, youknowwhos.co.uk/ are offering free discount on orders over £10, until midnight tonight. I've not purchased from her before, but came across the site from last years threads.
