Thread 16 - the one where Dairy Milk broke a tooth in half

Hope it's all sorted @nickdrakeslovechild

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

A reminder not to use affiliate links in the thread.

Please do watch the thread rather than post to mark place to make it easier for everyone to keep up and find relevant info.

See post 2 for some (hopefully) useful links.

How to do click links -

Do two [[

Paste in your link without a space between the [ and the start of the link
Do one space at the end of the link
Write what you want to appear instead of the link
Put 2 ]] at the end without a space between the end of the word(s) at the end and the ]]
So it looks like www.reastieschristmasbargains.co.uk click here but with no space between the and the start of the link and the next to the here

I hope that makes sense…

Present tracking apps might be of interest eg Santas bag, gift list.

Here are some useful websites:

Amazon free delivery tool here

Aliexpress www.aliexpress.com here . Useful tips here from sorryiasked: Aliexpress is a Chinese site that sells everything! Assume all branded stuff is fake. I personally wouldn't buy baby toys or electronics from there as I don't have faith in the product safety. But for fan merchandise, dolls clothes, "lego", household items etc it's great. Check the size guide on clothes and lower your expectations!
Use a seller who has a 4.5 star rating or higher.

You can pay via PayPal and there is an excellent tracking system, but be aware express postage is usually 2-3 weeks and standard postage up to 2-3 months.

Bargainmax here

Camelcamelcamel is a brilliant site that tracks prices on amazon here

Lisa angel sale is popular when on, apparently arrive nicely packaged too here

Magazine subscription offers here and here

Netpricedirect has discount toys and party bits here although be aware reviews of the site is mixed

Toys for a pound here

Any additional websites or recommendations to add - just let me know . I should add something about Ali express maybe as we’ve had that before…will get my brain thinking about what other sites/products have been popular.

Thank you! Checking in! X

Thanks Reastie!

Thanks Reastie .
( even though I said to myself not to check these threads out any more !!)

I'm not caught up for the afternoon, had anyone seen mario party on the switch for a better deal than 37 at amazon please? I already have a very credit account!

Thanks Reastie et al, I’ve been passing on bargains to family members too help ease the cost aid and abet of gift buying.

Thank you for the new thread! I'm finally getting started! Next have a good sale on at the minute.

Thanks Reastie!

Woohoo just caught up & joining in xx

Thank you reastie 😊
Not very Christmassy but Tesco mobile have some great contract mobile phone deals on until the end of tomorrow. iPhone 13 for the Clubcard price of £26.99 over 3 years. Saving about £175 overall on the usual price.

Thanks @Reastie a bit sharp and sensitive at the moment. Got to wait 2 weeks for the proper filling / repair. Feel such a plonker!

Nope. I hunted and hunted and that was the best I found.

@Puffalicious Damn and thanks! I didn't know I needed it but ds was watching kids youtube videos of it this weekend and it looks great. Maybe I don't need it. Am twitching hard... I got mario Kart, super Mario and the old school sonic platform one, and minecraft (ds loves a free rip off on the pc atm) and I'm concerned I've focused more on dp's old school gaming preferences when there are fab modern games I've ignored... The console is a joint gift for them both.

There's a Christmas dinner flavour pot noodle £1.20 and also pot noodle cracker £4 (3 pot noodles inc Christmas Dinner flavour) at Asda (and probably elsewhere).
A handy stocking filler or Secret Santa for the gastronome in you life.

Can anyone recommend any sites selling Florence by Mills skincare? DD has put this top of her list and the Groovy Glow set I think would be perfect for her seems to be sold out everywhere I've looked!

That'll be great for DS2!!! Thanks.

Thanks for the new thread. Still hoping for chocolate.
Im in need of bargain white T-shirts to gift with a tie dye kit it’s a sibling gift so need various sizes.

For anyone looking a last minute advent calendar for an older child or teenager Amazon have this Bomb Cosmetics one reduced to £10.99.

Try looking at the schoolwear section of stores like Tesco or Asda. You can usually get a pack of 2 plain white t shirts for around £3. I've bought these before to use with tie dye kits and they've been perfect.

DS3 (10) is a Switch lover. I've bought Kirby's Forgotten Land and Mario Battle League this year.

Past hits are Mario Kart, Luigi's Mansion 3, Super Smash Bros and SpongeBob Battle of Bikini Bottom Rehydrated (a bargain hit last year as it was only £20).

I'm buying Mario Kart for DNephew this year as it IS so good.

Was just going to say this! I've used these for printing onto etc too.

Thanks Reastie

Bit late for black friday but has anyone seen any good offers on London hotel stays? I tried buyagift and the like but they all seem to be for adults and I want to take a child. Am I being dim?
I stayed in uni halls last and it was ace (and cheap) but it doesn't seem to taking bookings next year.
Hoping to see the stage show Matilda. Which will be the next thing I hunt for a deal on.....

We've won tickets in the lottery for Matilda more than once @Scout2016 - worth a shout if you can be flexible with a week's notice?

@IggyAce i needed some in the summer for tie dye and sainsburys had 3 for £3 plain white crew necks in their school uniform Pe section. If you order from Argos it’s free click and collect too. www.argos.co.uk/product/tuc128755146?clickPR=plp:1:197
