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.

Ah thanks @Trumpton but booo no Saints balls! Might have to go for a plain one! Thanks again

Plain one and a mug? I like this one

@newroundhere or this VW Campervan picnic blanket from the range

@FilthyforFirth have you tried the main site? They have a size 5 ball and a few bits in the sale Inc wrapping paper. Pretty sure I've bought a le tis top from there before as a gift and it was decent quality. store.southamptonfc.com/sale/view-sale/

Um thanks @MiltonRoad going to get that for DH as he is a massive Saint too!

Thanks @Isonthecase I will check there. My phone is playing up so cant find it right now, will try again tomorrow!

My local Tesco had the smiggle range they stocked down to from £1 with a Clubcard. Large set £6. Complete bargain for the right age.

Well Iv had 1 box of 2 from turtle dove.

2 pairs seem to be slim fit. I didn’t think I had big hands but I couldn’t fit them on mine properly and the women I wanted to give them too are a few sizes bigger then me so even less chance of them fitting them.

I didn’t ask for slim fit either.

The other pair is yellow and have a tiny hole in but fit fine. The material isn’t as nice as the others though.

all 3 had a line through the turtle dove too.

For hand warmer people - I bought one of these rechargeable ones last year & they are really good & fit in a pocket or bag

@Reastie we nearly need another thread!

Thank you for this as I missed out on them last year so have ordered one for my DC and one for my DB's children.

Argos have got some decent things in their clearance section. This Zog Tonie is down to a tenner, which they rarely are! Annoyed the Winnie one was out of stock!

Oh, this is perfect for my always cold Dad! Thanks so much @buckeejit.

@IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile I'm wondering if there might be a retailer that would do a large order of books, like The Works do the 10 for £10 offer, but cheaper? Must be a retailer who'd do an offer for such a large order?

Depending on injuries/stitches etc some sort of toiletries/bath stuff set? I imagine she’d appreciate a bit of pampering.

@newroundhere thanks so much for sharing that. Have been on the lookout for a picnic hamper and CK had a lovely one - and a great sale reduction too!

@Willow4987 thank you! That diffuser will be perfect for my DD.

Phew, just in time here

Thanks for the prompts - I was working yesterday (and this morning) so couldn't update.

@IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile - I'm buying from here this year: www.cutpricewholesaler.com/seasonal/christmas/christmas-stationery-activity?disp_order=3.
I'm getting Xmas scratch art sets, colouring sets (with crayons) and stationary sets all under 50p/unit and diaries (for older children) which were a bit over 50p/unit - just remember to factor in delivery cost.

Well that’s my healthy eating out of the window! So hard to get these days

we used to do something similar I think we used these
gemmabooks.com who are based at chesterfield they used to make sets matches to the ages of the kids too

One year Dd's toddler club leader gave each child a silver bell with a parcel tag attached using stripy twine, similar to this. I'm sure you could bulk buy bells within budget and it wouldn't need wrapping.
We hang it on the tree every year

We used to give books to 400 children
Then a cheap novelty toy/item

But now we dont. The older children are well aware of the need to be eco and of Greta Thunberg. We stopped and no-one complained and who wants to add hundreds of bit of tat into the eco system. Being an eco school is quite important to our children.

Over 24 hours without a new post .. I'll try to contribute something.

If you think socks are OK for stocking fillers, then the teal and cassis socks on this page in the Seasalt sale are £1:20 per pair. If you leave the price label on the recipient will think they cost £7.

There's 20% off the sale prices, no code needed.
Postage is free over £50, but delivery to any Seasalt shop is free.

There's a new thread @Yalz , afraid you'll have some catching up to do 🤣

Thank you @Reastie If I hadn't posted I could have been watching this thread for days before I noticed the new one.
