Add yours when you see them!

Thank you @Famousthehero for the Barbie tip. That's my niece started for Christmas! I don't do Facebook so hadn't seen that bargain. Much appreciated.

I know Lego dots were popular on here at Christmas. This set looks a good price

Deal: LEGO 41957 DOTS Adhesive Patches Mega Pack 5in1 Set, DIY Stickers Kids' Mosaic Crafts kit for kids, Personalised Decoration for Notebooks, Phone Cases or Room Décor amzn.eu/d/e3rvYjo

If you’re passing M&S it might be worth looking in their sale section for Christmas things. My branch had many things which had been £3 - £5 at 20p, including wrapping paper, boxes of 15 Christmas cards and 10m packages of ribbon.

Joules has more reductions. All wellies are now less than £20, with Welly buffer for £2.95 and 2 colours of Welly Socks for £3.95.

Morning 🌻 has anyone seen any cute girls Christmas dinner plate sets? You know the ones with the cut plate and bowl - my DD will be 14 months next Christmas and her brothers each have one with Christmas designs on we use for December. A baby one might be better. I managed to get there's for £3 each set a few years ago but have seen nothing so far

www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/outdoor/scooters/micro-scooters/mini-micro-plus-aqua-led-scooter/p/213145 Smyths Mini micro scooter Aqua with LED wheels down from £69 to £40. Out stock for delivery but available at lots of stores still for click and collect. I imagine they will sell quickly at this price, dgd had hers for 4 years and loved it and sold it on for a good price at Christmas.

I bought my Mum full price Joules wellies for Christmas (so annoyed they are now reduced lol) BUT I did buy myself a pair of Joules Wellibobs a few weeks back (for walking the dogs in) and they are fabulous!

Buy 2 Ysl products on next and get a free ‘icons’ kit worth about £55. Any two items qualify including the touché eclat and mascaras and lip tint - so it’s not just for expensive purchases. Also a similar offer with Clinique. Worth it if you buy these things any way. No code - it just adds automatically.

Made it to our local Claire's today. Ours is only a small store but they had some really good bits in the sale. Got a couple for stockings. Fully expect I'll be taking my DD back tomorrow so she can have a mooch!

Oh also, the lady checked my rewards card & I had £5 worth of points so got my items for free

Thank you to the poster who shared the reduced Selfridges hampers. Got the port and stilton one for £15 which was delivered today. DH is chuffed with it and looking forward to tucking in tonight. Gutted I missed the £30 one reduced from £300. Hopefully there's more next year and I don't miss it.

Seasalt has an extra 20% off sale prices with code EXTRA20.

This Dry Point waterproof coat in Stormy Skies (dark grey?) is £32 reduced from £110, but only sizes 8 and 10 are left online.

Does anyone know the best place to buy LOL surprise dolls? I know absolutely nothing about them and I've been asked to get one for a birthday present. Hoping there's a bargain out there somewhere!

Amazon have a few types reduced to around £5

Thanks @CatOfTheLand - I'll have a look 😊.

Bit niche, and NSFW, but the code MOVINGOUT gives 25% off everything in the Vagina Museum online gift shop. The sale ends at 11:59pm 1st February, tomorrow.

(They have received notice to vacate their premises by the end of this week, and are looking for somewhere else)

Where were people recommending buying refurbished phones from?

No joy with smashed grapes still. Bastardos

Same! Emailed twice this month and both been ignored. Surely doesn't take 4 weeks to read an email?

If anyone has children that like Barbie/Duplo, this Mega Construx set is currently on offer on Amazon. Apparently it was originally £78.99 but it's currently £28.99.
Deal: MEGA Barbie Color Reveal Building Toys Dreamhouse with 30+ Surprises, 5 Micro Dolls and 6 Pets, Ages 4 and up, HHM01 amzn.eu/d/9dDvUYg

Same @QOD and @Allthechocolates I've emailed them twice this month and just an automated email response both times. It's just the principle of it - why give me a replacement gift voucher (I ordered one of the erstwhile tasting kits) but then void it and not reply directly to me! And now the kits are on another pre-order date of Feb so I'm not anticipating a sensible response before then. Their customer service has really got my back up and I can't let them win now!! Why should they keep my money just because they're an absolute shower?!

@Cuwins we've bought refurbished iphones from Reboxed - not the cheapest but really good quality, the phone we got DD was 'fair' condition with barely a mark on it, and service was really good too

Thank you

It was Back Market
