Add yours when you see them!

Never mad. Saves a fortune

Has anyone seen a 3ft green pre-lit Christmas tree 🎄 on offer anywhere please?

I’m such an idiot 🤣
fingers crossed 🤞

Something like this?

@RainbowPhilosophy Morrisons had them in for a fiver I think just before Christmas, not sure about now as I haven’t been to our local in the last week.

Liberty has increased its sale today with heavier discounts.

I’ve picked up at Emma Bridgewater mug reduced from £22 to £9, a cashmere scarf reduced from £125 to £35, a scrunchie set reduced from £60 to £10 and a set of gold plated silver earrings reduced from £75 to £30.

Looking for a beautiful Christmas table runner in case anyone spots one

I too don't think the sales are as good as previous years. I did manage to get a couple stocking fillers. Personalised light up tree dec gonks £5 reduced to £1.25 at peacocks and sew your own grinch, £8 reduced to £2.50 at The works

Ryman has some lovely gift sets on sale.
I didn't realise they did toys, candles ect. They had gift wrap to cheap too

found dome nice bits in accessorize. Git a nice back pack and some thick slipper socks

Card Factory has 50% off, went and picked up some of the 3 for £1.50 gift bags and wrapping paper rolls but they've just reduced the price of the individual items to 50p making them 3 for £1.50, the exact price they were before Christmas 😂 only a bargain if you only need one or two!

Next sale has bath and body works sprays for £4 or £6 - great little stocking fillers

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, we succumbed to the dreaded cold virus that is doing the rounds and subsequently discovered our digital thermometer really needs replacing. Does anyone have any recommendations or seen any on a good offer? Thanks!

And shower gels etc

Hype have extra 50% off everything including sale, just type code fifty at checkout. Got some great bargains 👍

In Waitrose today they had Xmas crackers down to £6.75 down from £35 I think it said on the box. Also lots of catch kidston hand cream offers & card games which would be good for stocking fillers.

Thanks for Happy Puzzle Co heads up. Never shopped there but love the Door Pong! Found code PD29S for £5 off which covered the postage 👍

Also got a few stocking fillers at Morrisons today including Harry Potter wand pens down from £5 to £1.50.

Claires instore sale is good. All the Christmas stuff I'd 75% off so I grabbed a few new headbands (including a grinch hat and nightmare befire Christmas ones for £2 each), earrings for £1.25.

Other sale is 5 things for £10. Dd1 is into BT21 so got her a hat, drinks bottle, earrings set, pack of rings and some hair scrunchies. RRP on one of those was over £10 so a great bargain! This was only a small claires, I'm hoping to check out a bigger one tomorrow and get some bits for dd2 (she was with me yesterday!)

I've got a few hours in town tomorrow anywhere else good for instore bargains?! I'm hoping for some lush reductions but might be a bit late!

Not really Christmas-related, but M&S has reduced a lot of their ambient (ie not fresh or frozen) things to half price in the Food Hall, especially toiletries and breakfast cereal.

@BadgerLovesMash, a couple of hours ago my local Lush had lots of gift sets with 50% off but I couldn’t see anything else reduced. You can get an idea of the contents of the gift sets here.

Just managed to get some lush giftsets left online at 50% off each

Thanks for the heads up on Next Bath and Body Works. I got some nice ones for me, and snagged the kids PJs for next year too.

Who was after clear plastic storage boxes? loads of different sizes and reasonably priced in Aldi special buys. I just bought some 80L ones for £7.99. They feel pretty good quality.

Thank you for the replies about lush! I will try my luck in store, don't want to pay for postage 🤣 not the end of the world if I don't get them, they would be to put by as an Easter gift instead of an egg.

Hi all! Thanks for setting up the thread Chips. DS 8th birthday in 36 days and he's getting a TV but would like some cheap wrap ups as I think he will be disappointed in less presents than usual. I'm also out of ideas after Christmas too! So far I've ordered a mario figure, a squishmallow, a slush cup, pre made cookie dough and a smashers Dino egg.

Looking for some nice candles not especially yankee
