Thread 2 - the one with a bath humbug.

[Reastie]

Ho ho ho and welcome to the bargain Christmas thread - home of the discounts for Christmas shopping.

@BeautifulDragon I think the link you've posted may fall under the "if it seems to good to be true then it usually is" motto. The brand of the bag is Kanken and on the site it's spelt Kenken. Seems a bit iffy.

Haha, yes, and I do love mine even though I look ridiculous in it! However, there’s wide and there’s so humongous it will probably fall right off DD so was wondering if there are ones aimed at older children or ones which aren’t quite so big adult size that others might recommend.

Thank you so much for the discount code and newsletter tip. Those look perfect, seen one she’d love.

Got my party bag order today- 39 items ordered and 33 arrived. I’ve emailed the list of 6 items (£10 ish worth out of a £90 order) and got a generic reply that said they’re auto processing refunds for items that were out of stock so will wait and see. Very pleased with what I got though- some great bargains, not that I’d have paid full price!

I’ve ordered some mini (5cm) Squishmallows from Smyths, 4 Squishville dogs for £7 instead of £12. Seemed a good price to me! Certain stores only, not available home delivery.

My bargain max isn't giving 25 off, only 12.5...

@Pigeonnoir of you can wait until Oct HT for the Guinness Book of Records then it will be half price in most places.

My 6 yr old also wants everything Gabbys Dollhouse related. I’m hoping there will be an offer on at some point…..

Check Amazon before ordering from bargain max a lot of things were cheaper on there for me even with 25% off. Did manage to order some good stocking fillers such as pop figures etc though!

Thanks for the Adidas gift card deal - very handy for my sons, particularly when they often have 30% off on the website that I can combine the gift cards with!

Thanks MissRainbowBrite I'll get my post deleted, thought I had found a bargain!

Stockings from lands end are beautiful. Thinking of getting one for the eejit puppy. Have them for dc with theirs names embroidered & they are so lovely hanging in the mantel.

Shows me a 40% off offer if I sign up.

What gin did you get?
Mine haven’t arrived yet and I’m super impatient 😅

@BuffyFairy my kids have these kids hooded blanket from Dunnes Stores online. I am 5ft and have been known to borrow them during the daytime in winter when I'm working from home and kids are at school 😆 The length is not particularly long but they are less bulky than adult ones. Highly recommend these actually for anyone else looking for them for kids! (And to all you Irish in UK MNers... if you didn't know already, yes you can order from Dunnes in UK 🥳)

Thank you *@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts

I went ahead. Brilliant site that I will keep an eye on. I’m just a bit wary of anything I haven’t heard about before!

@Gooseysgirl I'm looking at the reindeer hooded blanket - what age for you think they could wear them from? I have a 3, 5 and 8 year old. I'm thinking of the complaining and fighting if it would work for the eldest but not the others! They're so cute and my kids love cozy things.

Ignore me. I seen the pics after I wrote this comment. 😂

I honestly thought this was going to be a bottle of Cherry Sourz 😂

Think/hope I've caught up with adding potential links to new thread <crosses fingers>.

I'm sure I remember a previous year there was somewhere you could send an old cashmere item and they would send you something free in return and would recycle it - does anyone remember where that was? I put one of my lovely cashmere socks in the wrong washing load and it's ruined (sadly, wearing just one sock won't cut it!).

Thanks for the Aldi sale link and Dino Dig kit.

I posted this on the last thread not realising that thread 2 is active. Adidas Stan Smiths and selected trainers are 30% off RRP with the code SCHOOL

Anyone buying Adidas gift cards from Groupon just a heads up that on hot deals uk a few pple have said when they went to use the cards there was zero balance on them. Could be different this time but I'd hate it if anyone got scammed.

@Reastie i think it was turtle dives but it had to be a jumper or cardigan/coatigan as they needed enough to make a few pairs of gloves out of it. There was also a processing fee and in exchange you got a set of gloves.

Calendar Club has a few nice and cheap things in their sale. Books and socks which could make nice stocking fillers
