[Reastie]

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

Thanks @tabbycat985 for the title

If you have a referral link for a website, do post it on this thread

See post 2 for some (hopefully) useful links.

£15 cashback with Asda rewards on this lynx gift set. Might be good for pre teen / teen boys , or could be split up for stockings

Thank you for this. My DD got given a crinkly newspaper from a friend and loves it, might get her another one

Has anyone seen any (DIY) gift baskets that come with the cellophane wrap? I want to do one for dss for Christmas but also for friends who will be moving into their first home in a couple of months.

@torthecatlady, The Works has them.

@torthecatlady you can get the baskets in card factory and Poundland do rolls of cellophane

They are soooo good if you get the offer then cancel

Thanks @NoWordForFluffy and @ThisUserNameIsAvailableOk

I'd completely forgotten that the works had them and didn't even think to look for cellophane from pound land... might be a good shout for the gin for MIL.

Was it last year people were buying fancy ribbon from somewhere online?

Do you mean the cheap ribbon place? I recall it, but not the name. And as they've totally buggered the searching ability since the update, you'll have a hard time finding it!

Otherwise, Cox & Cox for fancy ribbon!

Really recommend awesomebooks.com for those looking for any new or second hand books. 20% off your first order, free delivery and they will donate a book to various literacy projects for every one you buy (and fantastic customer service for the one time I had an issue with my order!).

I think the ribbon Place is fantasticribbons.com

I got lovely velvet ribbon from Amazon last year - 10m for under £4 delivered.

Can I please say a huge THANK YOU to whoever posted about the Avengers Book Advent Calendar on Thursday. £3 plus £2.99 postage. It came today and is HUGE!!! The price sticker says £20 original price at The Works. It’s so brilliant, I went to order another but it’s back up to £14.99 now, shame!

Also thank you to whoever posted about the huge bag of fidget toys yesterday. Mine came this evening and I’m super happy. Will be dividing them between all the kids stockings 😀

Hope I can find some bargains to post for you all soon

Thanks for this! Nails inc polish was on my mum’s list, got her a set at 67% off, plus a polish for myself (10% off with code FIRST10), then added a £2 lip balm to get it over the £40 threshold for the free nail polish (& 4.5% cashback via Quidco) 😀

Do you have a link to the ribbon please @NoDairyNoProblem ?

For anyone that hasn't seen them before - Olive & Sage do lovely garden ornaments (fairy doors etc) and have a sale on at the moment.

Suck it & Say have a sale on some personalised Christmas lollipops including some for the dreaded Elf on the Shelf

Scottish Fine Soaps have a 4 for 3 offer using code SOAPY4F3

@torthecatlady I saw some in my local b&m this week now the Christmas stock is coming out.

Plenty of snuddies in primark yesterday. This one was £20

£5 postage for the bic pens so I'm putting up the standard warning to not just click buy now and get a surprise!

Thanks for all of the suggestions for the ribbon!

Cox and Cox is beautiful, but so pricey. I'll end up buying stuff I don't need but forgetting the ribbon

I'm going to go down a little ribbon rabbit hole now! 🐇

Cheers for the heads up. Picked up two lovely pairs of pjs. 50% off.

Harry Potter chocolate frogs are 65p in M&S and on Ocado. Fun stocking filler for a HP (or chocolate) fan.

Green People have 20% off with AUTUMN20 and free delivery in September. They have some nice gift sets and a few reduced items like the scent free hand cream £5 down from £15

"£5 postage for the bic pens so I'm putting up the standard warning to not just click buy now and get a surprise!"

I ordered earlier and just double checked. Free postage on mine.

Asda Christmas Pyjamas are online now. These are more winter themed and if anything like last year ears will wash great. DD is still using hers from her 1st December box!

Free postage on my order with prime.

There is a gravitrax advent calendar which is apparently its best amazon price ever at around £26. You need to select other sellers and it isn't due to be dispatched until October, but the reviews look good.
