Thread 7 - the one with the hook a fuck game

[Reastie]

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

A bit of competition for the thread title this time - thanks for all the contenders and nominees and @Someaddedsugar for the title. This says a lot about your phones autocorrect I think 🤣

Anyone got any codes for free delivery at smuggle?! My daughter would love a few of their bits, but I don’t want to pay £5 (!) for delivery

Anyone seen any reduced Le Mieux mini pony toys or accessories? They're very expensive. I've already tried second hand but same price as new. 🙏

My tea pigs arrived as a stocking filler for DH but he spotted them on the credit card bill. Oops. Turns out we already have a subscription so compete fail 🤣

@badbaduncle I don't know if it's the same place, but this site does personalised minifigures fab-bricks.com

I got 4 of the glossy boxes. 2 x timeless treats and 2 x April.

I gave one to my daughter already and she was really happy with it and il give her the other one for Xmas (although I will add a couple of small bits into it that I know she will like)

The other 2 are going to my step daughter for Xmas as a stocking filler (again with a couple of extra bits in. Nail files, mud mask etc)

I think for £9.50 for 2 you can’t go wrong. I wouldn’t pay a £15 subscription for one as I don’t think it’s worth that but for less then £5 a box it makes a nice little extra treat.

Contents of both boxes included.

@livingthegoodlife have you looked at crafty ponies? My 11yo DD has asked for these for her Xmas as she wanted the Le Mieux ones but these are better value. They do mini ponies

Crayola scented markers £3 (select other sellers under the listing to get this price). I had them in my basket last year and then didn't order and they jumped back in price. A nice wee stocking filler for my youngest. Out of stock just now but I can always cancel if they don't arrive on time.

Thanks @LostMyRubySlippers I'm going to stay on the hunt and cross my fingers

Thank you so much, I have used this twice now!!
Free delivery too!!

Thanks @Arewesureitisntbedtime for the Spurs tip , just ordered a few bits...bargainous indeed

@mac1974 thanks, I have looked at crafty ponies but they have different eyes! The le mieux ones have such pretty eyes with eyelashes! I was all for the cheaper crafty ponies until I saw that. I'm thinking that maybe I can get away with just pony, saddle pad, saddle & grooming bag. But I know she wants full kit with fly hood, bandages, bridle etc. Aaargh!

Has your dd seen the crafty pony ones? And likes them?

So difficult to balance cost!

Sorry someone mentioned earlier wanting pokemon lego for DH, can't remember who. I don't know about the lego, but my DB (35) really enjoys the pokemon nano blocks about £10 each per character, I usually hunt around ok ebay for a good price.

Oh!
My first box isn't quite the same...
I think £10 is fine but I was a tad underwhelmed.

Try equiflairsaddlery.com for lemieux pony EQUI10 will give you 10% off

@livingthegoodlife no she hasn't seen them irl but she has watched videos of them and tells me she has wanted them for a while. I ordered them early as I believe they ran out last year and it is nicer than I thought it would be tbh. I was surprised she asked for them but she is obsessed with horses. I got her a starter kit, bridle and something else & it was over £100. Not cheap. I must admit I haven't checked out the eyes in too much detail!

@mac1974 very sensible, I believe they regularly sell out! I hope your daughter loves it, I'm sure she will.

Thank you @mum2three48 I'll give it a try!

What did you have in yours verses mine? Just curious.

I'll be gobsmacked if I get my 2 spurs orders but thank you so much for the code in case 😀

@mum2three48 amazing - great discount! I've just done a trial order & it comes up. Just need daughter to say which pony she wants the most then I'll order tomorrow! Thank you!

Does anyone have a discount for Crafty Ponies? My dd announced at hoys she was going to ask santa for the palomino one but search as I might I haven't been able to find a discount anywhere!

Yes I'm thinking it's way to good to be true but I'm hoping!!

@Ziggerty I couldn't find one when I ordered so I just bit the bullet.

I'm hoping at least some slip through the net but I expect most orders will be cancelled.

The Crayola markers are back up to £10 now!

Gruum have a "free" trio box, you pay £4 postage which doesn't seem too bad for 3 items. Hoping it will be suitable for my SIL

Thank you @Soscrewed that was me! The nano blocks look ideal 😃

@Willow4987 PM me if you still need an AO.com code as I have a 10% one from McDonalds which I won't use.
