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.

6 and 11 - I need both

Has everyone had their party bag order? I ordered on the 23rd and still nothing

No I ordered on the 22nd and still nothing here

Hot chocolate shakers just arrived. They’re lovely. Really pleased. Paid £33.95 for 2 bundles with the milk choc drops, including delivery.

Best before date on the chocolate drops is May 2023 👏

Lego Duplo brick box is down to £15.99 on Amazon.

Lego friends Emma’s art school
is also reduced to £38.39, again on Amazon.

Two items off my list!

Gin Club
it I recall I got the Black Friday deal last year for £19.99 ?? And it was really worth the money I can’t quite remember all that was in it but might be worth looking out for if you missed out this time.

Tokyo laundry
currently have a clearance sale and additional 10% off everything with code extra great for t’s and boys trunks

Have you a link for the chocolate shakers please?

Is there any offers on jelly cats anywhere? X

Looks like they’re back to full price, so one to keep an eye on. They were on sale at 30% off, with a 20% new customer code that stacked on top.

So far the plan is for our early teenage DD to get Stranger Things bedding/room decorations, clothes (probably band/gaming t-shirts), scooter, Lego, some sort of sports equipment (seems to be trying new ones every week at school at the moment!) and art supplies.

This isn't exactly a gift question but I've ordered my DS an experience but I want to gift it a better way then in an envelope he's only 9, does anymore e have any suggestions?

You could get them a little gift related to the experience? We got monkey world tickets one year, along with a small inflatable monkey 😂

@NightOwl101 could you do a little treasure hunt of clues and have it in a box at the end? You could get a toy to match eg animal/car or accessory (climbing gloves).
Be wary of hiding it in a big box as at that age they're still disappointed when it turns out to not be a massive gift!

We used these before and little kids liked them

Just found hugehoods on Instagram, they have the oversized tees similar to oodie for £18.99.
There was also a discount code for first purchase which got me free delivery.

benefit mascara & brow gel
nomination charm
joma bracelet
co ord set (leggings & long sleeved cropped top) from pretty little thing.

Previous hits have been: Silk pillowcase, Chanel book from Paperscapes. The Paperscape books are beautiful and have several different themes.

Just popping a quick reminder on for the Amazon Shopper Rewards app - for those that are eligible to sign up you just need to upload 10 receipts a month and you'll receive a £5 Amazon voucher or charity donation, and there's the odd 25p survey available every few weeks.

My Doisy and Dom just arrived. Thanks for the shared code to get them!
i bought for DD who has dairy intolerance but they’re not suitable as may contain milk.
all the more for me tho!

shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ has 20% off everything with code OUTSIDE20 and free delivery. They sell the Den Kit Company den kits and the puzzle books that were popular in previous years.

code summer20 for 20% off at Paddy & Scots. They do lovely coffee my dh likes their coffee bags and I know the gift packs have been popular in previous years.

I had a quiz to do for concert tickets one year. You could make him a little puzzle book for clues; wordsearch, maze, code word type thing if he'd be into that. Or a detective kit with one of those invisible clue pens but have already done the clues for him to lead him to it .

Aldi 8th September. Love the key rings for stocking fillers.

My dds are 14 and 10 at Christmas. Some if their favourite things are
Hama beads (well fuse beads off amazon). Both love them and spend ages making things!
Drawing and art supplies.
Floor cushions.
Cooking appliances- we've had a churro maker, bread maker and looking at a candy floss maker this year!
Games- we play alot of family games.
Dd1 I did a baking box with all the bits she would need.
Sheet masks, we love doing them all together.

This year we are going for experiences but have got a few bits for them each mostly adding to their current collections and interests!

Anyone know if the Lego shop ever do free delivery? Don't want to pay delivery for a £25 set!
