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 sure somebody said something about the Tonies being reduced in Argos. Just be careful because you can normally get them on 4 for 3 on the Tonies website and Smyths. So this deal would be £48 but you can get them usually for £44.97.
Even the deals on the Tonies website with 15% off isn't as good as the 4 for 3.
Just a heads up. Life is expensive enough without being diddled out of hard earned money.

boots have an great offer on Tonies today. I’ve just brought 4 for £32. Granted they have a smaller selection but plenty enough to choose from.

I read on here a while back about the beautiful kimonos from One Thousand Stars. Looking to get one as a gift but sadly way out my budget. Anyone know of any discount codes?

@Allthechocolates they’ll probably have a n offer or sale on over Easter I’d imagine. I bought one from their sale page about a month ago that randomly popped up.

Thank you, will need to order before then as for a birthday but will keep my eyes open for the sales. Quite fancy one for myself too!!

This little pack of inkjoy pens is £1.75 on amazon (slightly less if you subscribe) was a great wee stocking filler on the 2021 boards. They are just ball pens, but mini and 10 colours so a cute gift. I've granted some for the present cupboard.

Also the gravitrax starter set is only £20. I've bought it too, but will add some bits through the year as I think my 3 will all love it.

Sorry was just going through camel camel camel- last one. This book is called dhow to: absurd scientific advice for common real world problems. It's down to £4. My mum loved the first book "what if" which I got for £4 at Christmas. Both funny and interesting from a science perspective.

Jealous to hear that Smashed Grapes are finally responding to messages @Sisisimone - I gave up on them and got my money back via PayPal! Shame as the original purchase would have been a great stocking filler and I'd have used the replacement voucher too, but couldn't get them to send either

@GirlWithTheYellowHat could you get some vouchers via Groupon or similar for your DD? Experiences, meals etc?

May be a bit late @Martinisarebetterdirty but have a look at CEX for iPhones, I've had my last three from there, they come with a 24 month warranty as well

@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl thsts all you’d have got anyway unless you’d paid full price. That’s all they’re doing it seems.
shit company

These are super. Just bought a few. Thanks

It's my DD 13th birthday next month and I'm really struggling what to get her. Any ideas would be appreciated thanks

Boots Freebie Friday has a varied offer today. It includes Flo x Sex Education period underwear in bright pink or black at £19.99 for two pairs.

M & S period pants are 3 for £16-18 and there's regularly a 20% offer.
They get a thumbs up from me

Any offers from shay and blue blood oranges perfume? thanks

for the blood oranges perfume, sorry!

@krystlecarr GJ2F9YEFVFWS will get you the 10 ml for free, just pay 4.95 p&p

Thank you, I’ve ordered a different fragrance. I love shay and blue perfumes!

Thank you ,will try this!

@krystlecarr
Thanks for code, I also used it and it worked on the Sicilian limes perfume.

Today and tomorrow is the Superseconds festival.

Many independent makers offer seconds, ends of line, old stock and so on at varying discounts.

A good chance to replenish the present cupboard or treat yourself. I have bought several pairs of earrings.

ZURU Dino Strike Glow in The Dark Surprise balls are 99p for a double pack!!

It's listed under other sellers, so great for stocking fillers/advent calendars!

Thanks @Yalz for the super seconds reminder . I bought some lovely jewellery for half price.

Thanks for the Shay & Blue code. Finally ordered the lilac and gooseberries.

A little late in the day but Sezane have a code on their homepage today and I got £20 off my order - I don’t know whether it’s pot luck or a standard amount off.

My dd is 14 and some hits for her the last few years have been.
Bluetooth overhead earphones.
Oodie hoodie plus a long hot water bottle.
Posca pens.
TV and second hand PlayStation 4. The next year we did a year's subscription to crunchy roll (anime TV service).
Band tshirt and tickets to see them.
Trip to the zoo plus a Teddy in the gift shop!
Loungefly backpack.
Explosion Box filled with gift cards and messages/photos.
Lush bath bombs.
Roller skates.
Cosplay costume and a trip to comic con.

Shes not really into makeup and really dislikes clutter. So we've been trying to steer towards experiences with a few token gifts to open.
