Christmas bargain prequel 2023 thread 1 - the one with the sales

[Sideorderofchips]

Hi all!

Thank you @reastie for all the Christmas bargain threads. Time to get my hat on and start the prequels!

So far online sales I've seen are :

New look
Smiggle
George
Claires
Dunelm
Boots
Superdrug
Paperchase
Peacocks

Add yours when you see them!

I'm thinking about buying some baklava from there but it would be for my dad for Father's Day in June- so a bit risky on the dates- what do people think?

I ordered myself a pair of Veja trainers for £60, down from £125 on The Dressing Room website!

In case anyone is interested:

Lots of matching family Christmas pj sets online in the sales at John Lewis, M&S and Matalan.

Can anyone recommend some decent but not too expensive sturdy plastic storage boxes? I love the 'really useful' brand ones but they are expensive and I need about 6.
They need to be sturdy, stackable, clear plastic and have lids.

@Cuwins do you have an Ikea near you? They have different sized stacking clear boxes that all fit together.

About an hour away. not really a trip I want to make as I'm assuming it will be chaos there over the next week

IKEA deliver a lot more and a lot more cheaply than they used to. I have so many IKEA plastic boxes!

Christmas knickers in tesco sale for dd next year

Lush gift boxes were half price earlier today, online.

John Lewis have some good beer glass gift sets on sale. I opted for the 3 Darlington crystal glasses just due to cupboard space

My DH loves his beer so should be a welcome gift

Hollister have a decent sale too but delivery under £50 is £5 which is rude

all unavailable now!

I've just bought another set of Spode Christmas so I have an 8'person set and I got tumblers, amazing price!

Also got some lovely baubles and wreaths from WeRChristmas in the sale, and am looking for good Christmas pjs for next year. Love this thread

We went into town earlier. Got a box of treats from Lush, some lebkuchen and a lovely dress from Fatface for New Year’s Eve. Really looking forward to hopping in the bath with my Lush things tomorrow :)

I bought a pair of leather Chelsea boots & a jacket from M&S, a pair of cyberjammies pjs from John Lewis.

Currently in my JL basket: x 2 Le Creuset casserole dishes

Popsa baubles are 50% off with code END50

I was really impressed with the one I had from them via vodafone. Am tempted to do some as gifts for next year

@slithytoveisascientist you've just reminded me I was after some garlands for the bannisters for next year.

Has anyone spotted any multipack Christmas cards on their travels? I've seen some on Paperchase but they're max 12 to a box and I was hoping to get DS sorted for school so looking for 30ish in a box.

Has anyone seen any decent wrapping paper rolls left anywhere? Seems I’m too late for paperchase.

Asda George have the 9L (shoebox ish size) and 21L Really Useful Boxes reduced online if that's any help.

Waterstones have all hardbacks half price until tomorrow

I'd go to b and q.

@RainbowPhilosophy thank you but I'm pretty sure I need bigger than that.
@coodawoodashooda no b&q near us

I think I will end up getting the really useful ones unless I can contemplate a trip to ikea

I've ordered all my wrapping paper and a few gifts from whsmiths - 50-70% off
got the girls christmas pjs form debenhams (online) 70% off
few stocking bits sorted from rex london and typo
jewelery for girls stockings from Lisa Angel (although sale doesn't seem as good as last year?)

I got this Philip Kingsley set from M&S. £49 down to £15

@Blixem that M&S set looks lovely. Good find. Its almost made me consider going real life shopping rather than spending the whole time sat in my pjs!

Bargain max have 25% off with code BD25.
they still have the harumika sets that some of us ordered- my DD loves hers so just ordered another for her bday, plus one for the present cupboard!
£8.23 for the 2 sets delivered!
free postage over £10, but it seems to go off the price before you apply the code
