Hi all, used these threads so much last year and didn't think to look after Christmas, foolish given all the bargains. I just saw that gruum are doing the £20 sample box for only postage again and it reminded me of the threads so looked it up and here I am to tell you. Apologies if this has already been mentioned I admittedly haven't read the thread.

The Bridal Beauty Company are doing £20 Glow boxes. The code above doesn't seem to work with these.

Bears Vs Babie and Throw Throw Burrito are both £15.99 on Amazon at the moment.

Some advent calendars are reduced on Amazon, I can't remember how this compares with other years but seem like good reductions on the RRP

Polly Pocket £10.75

Have Amazon bumped free shipping to over £25 orders?! 🤣

All the advent calendars listed are free shipping with Prime. They're really good value and I also found a star wars funko advent that dd will be over the moon with so thanks for posting.

GirlWithTheYellowHat if you wanted one could you get a friend or family member with Prime to order for you? I do that quite regularly for a friend of mine.

I mean in general as I don't have prime. Normally order up to a £20 for free shipping but it seems to have gone up again 😢

Ooh just jumping on for the prequel threads!

Got some amazing bargains at TKMaxx and Sainsburys recently in the sales.

TKMaxx had Bizzy Bear 4 book sets reduced to £4 (from RRP £27) and felt flap 4 book sets reduced to £6 from similar RRP.

Sainsburys had lots of Duplo reduced including a Christmas themed gingerbread house down from £30 to £15.

Possibly store specific but worth keeping an eye out - particularly if you have toddlers to buy for.

@GirlWithTheYellowHat are their any Amazon hub lockers near you? They sometimes deliver to those free. We have one outside a local petrol station.

5poundstuff has a variety of blanket hoodies back in stock. They are now helpfully labelling some as Lightweight, Heavy or Sherpa Fleece.

(I wish the Miffy one came in adult sizes)

I appreciate the weather is warming up now, but they could be good for a camping holiday or festival, or presents for next winter.

I bought two Navy ones last time. One had Oodie labels and packaging, the other a Kudd.ly label.

Just a theory, but I decided the Oodie might be a return that the Oodie company didn’t want the hassle of checking, replacing and putting out for resale.

If you prefer the certainty of the original brand, there’s a sale on the Oodie website.

Some of the hooded blankets come in sizes now, eg XS-M and L-2XL or with children’s age ranges. I remember that some DC’s thought they were too big before, so this might help.

Single use £5 off £50+ at Argos, use by 19th April :-)

not tried, but says will automatically be added at checkout

Hobbycraft have paint your own money boxes for £2. Lots of different designs

The Rex London sale is back on, the same stuff that has been in it for years mind you, but some good prices on stocking filler/kids party type bits.

Reduced down to £1.50 in home bargains, glass jar with toiletries. Thought they'd make good (and not expensive!) teacher presents come July.

A good price on these 2 orchard toys puzzles - 12 pieces for little ones

Smashed grapes again. I would like to get one tasting kit for SILs birthday but I only manage to get 10% off in their wheel. It looks like you could get 50% off but after trying several times and always getting 10% off I am thinking the wheel only gives you that.

I’ve just paid £1.50 for an empty jar similar to that so yes a good little bargain!

Thanks for this - great price as £9.50 each when bought separately on Amazon - just bought for toddler DS

This is a great offer thanks @Famousthehero . We have a present stash in a cupboard for DC friends parties or sometimes I raid it on long rainy days to entertain dc so will add this in .

Those puzzles are a great bargain! Unfortunately I get an error message stating they can't be delivered to my address :s

The same happened to me @Holeymoleymacaroni ! But I realised that if you don't click on the link above and insteas search for them it should be fine

Turtle Doves have some stuff with 30% off. I got some lovely bits before Christmas, remember it was popular on here
