Boots online haul done! Mainly beauty gifts for my 12yo DD and a fab ted baker eye make up kit for my 15yo niece. I always do the boots sale I think it's brilliant for that age range. Got some nice Harry Potter gifts too.

The Cadburys big block is £5 on Amazon with delivery tomorrow for anyone that really wanted one.

For hypermobile from experience definitely pogo stick over heeleys/rollerskating. Jumping is easier than gliding movements. A helping hand maybe needed at first to hold the stick steady. I've also though about moon shoes/boots but the reviews aren't great.

Clucket87 · 23/12/2022 11:03

Ah, the boots sale! Mainly just clothes for my little boy but I did manage to get one present for next year.
I hate to say it because I know some people are boycotting, but WHSmiths have some good deals on jigsaws, down to £4 instead of £18 so that's 1 Xmas and 3 other presents sorted for 2023.

Chocolate is £5 but comes after Christmas. Just ordered myself one Blush

TheGirlWhoLived · 23/12/2022 13:17

I’ve got some great stuff directly from the benefit site- 50% off lots of bits

Thanks for the tip. Delivery date depends on where you live I think - I've just ordered for delivery tomorrow. That means I have to give it away though, rather than keeo it for myself 😆

IggyAce · 23/12/2022 13:47

Thank @Reastie and everyone for all the bargains. I hope you all have an amazing Christmas.

BloodyMabel · 23/12/2022 14:24

@Holidayqueen1 I have one of these I bought then haven’t seen the person to gift it to. Happy to send it to you for £7.50 as I’d just be glad for it to get used.

(I over ordered a lot this year thanks to this thread but at least I’m really warm in my ottercat oodie! 🤣)

Amazonmulu · 23/12/2022 14:27

Are Sienna blanket hoodies any good?

Holidayqueen1 · 23/12/2022 15:04

@BloodyMabel thats so kind but I popped out this morning and managed to get a hot water bottle and hand Warner things! Thank you so much, really appreciate your kindness

That’s ok, suppose I’ll have to take up some form of exercise now… 😩

Glad you’re sorted!

Superdrug and boots sales are now live online.

So is new look

I've totally not started for Christmas 2023...

BoopK · 23/12/2022 19:37

I'm finally done, everything not bought will have to wait or we'll do without.

These threads are such a lovely part of Mumsnet, I've been here since pregnant with DD(6). I'll be raising a glass to you all tomorrow evening when I'm wrapping bargainous presents with my big fuck off rapesco tape dispenser. Thanks all 🎄♥️🍸

mac1974 · 23/12/2022 20:01

Thank you for another fabulous thread everyone. The only thing I've not got is chocolate coins (well I did have them but youngest DD used them in her school Xmas cards...when did this become a thing?). Feeling pretty pleased now having Prosecco & watching Christmas Chronicles. Hope you all have an lovely Christmas x

MammaRoly · 23/12/2022 20:42

Merry Christmas everyone! This is my second year of taking advantage of your brilliant ideas and bargains, and I have never been so organised. Hope you all have a good one x

Sideorderofchips · 23/12/2022 21:15

Urgh I can't get boots to check out at all

I have however bought the wrapping paper for the kids presents for next year though instead

imnottoofussed · 23/12/2022 21:16

Well I ordered from boots sale today and it's been dispatched already but with Royal Mail, let's see if I ever receive it. Got a great price on the Elie saab perfume set which I'm putting away for next year.

Monstermunch67 · 23/12/2022 21:17

Many, many thanks to all who contributed. I'd been dragging my feet this year and you all got me back into gear, with the endless bargain tips. Just a click and collect at the M&S Food Hall and we're done. Aaaaaaand breathe. Merry Christmas everyone xx

Tell me everyone else is just as disorganised as I am right now? House a mess, still have last minute gifts to collect as some haven't arrived, food shopping to do, dinner to plan and prepare,wrapping not even started. Is it just me?

All that plus no tree up yet.

I want to hide under the bed.

hourbyhour101 · 23/12/2022 23:57

I was wondering if anyone can help.

My teen DSD has asked mum for a skims dress but mums not got the funds so I want to buy it for mum to give to DSD

Does anyone have a discount code that would work ?
🙏🏻

BloodyMabel · 24/12/2022 05:40

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!

Thanks for all the threads@Reastie and all the bargains/chat this year. I love these threads! 🎅

Theraffarian · 24/12/2022 06:06

Oh no , I only joined this year and fear withdrawal symptoms now this is over . Please tell me there’s some kind of sale thread for early preparation for next year I can migrate to !

Yes there are prequel threads run I think by @Sideorderofchips?
Not sure when they start but it's soon after Christmas I believe

MerylSqueak · 24/12/2022 08:22

Happy Christmas everyone!

I hope all your loved ones enjoy their presents 😁
