Christmas bargain prequel 2023 thread 2 - the one without a side order of chips

[InDreamland]

Hope everyone is okay with me starting this new thread off. Thread 1 is at 992 so thought best get a new one up and running so we don't miss any bargains.

With thanks to @sideorderofchips for all your work keeping these prequel threads going. Hope everything is okay and you'll be joining us again soon to reclaim your fab threads.

The prequel threads are kept going through the year in the run up to @reastie taking over for the Christmas bargains threads late summer/autumn.

Definitely Rocket and Rose! Thanks @NoWordForFluffy!!

Thanks for the heads up on the unicorn lego and the shark one being the same price at Argos 😊

Up to 50% off sale at Boden starts today.

In Claire's today they had 6 items for for £15 but they were decent items so fluffy rucksack, big make up set, 4 sets of false nails, Harry Potter/stitch beanies, a5 fluffy notepads with a lock.
They also has the 5 for £10 on smaller items.

Both of those Claire's deals sounds good I'll take a look next time I'm in town thanks @snoozingbaby1476

Just as a heads up, I brought that set of 6 Christmas candles from Amazon and they are impossible to open!

I can only get the lid off one of the tins. If DH can’t open the rest later then I will return them as currently they’re completely unusable

Designafriend Skylar doll £10 at Argos, shame it’s out of stock in my town! https://www.argos.co.uk/product/4582823

Thank you, I managed to get one!

Thanks @OKwhatsNext my tween daughter will love that set, she's become obsessed with skin care

Thanks @Irritatedmum I managed to get one too. If you want me to collect one for you I could always post on.

I got the black/ metalics scrawler box for my 10 year old, thank you.

Daughter has asked for a tablet, I got her older brother the Amazon last year, think I got a Black Friday deal, but can anyone remember the best time of year to buy?

Would the Scrawlr boxes make a decent gift for a friend's DC? Or do they look a bit random iyswim.

I would say Black Friday too @Methenyouplus4 or I think, if it wasn't another Amazon one you wanted, then there's a site that does refurbished ones for a good price (but can't remember the name of it sorry!)

@Methenyouplus4 fire tablets were cheaper Amazon prime day last year (no dates yet but maybe 11-12th july). That's when dd bought dgds kids fire hd pro one. There was a bit of a supply shortage of that one last year unusually and dd was glad she'd bought it early. Though with electrical items I usually like to buy them black friday just incase it has any faults or issues for warranty.

I bought standard Fire HD tablets for the kids. One was some point in the summer when it was about the same price as Black Friday, which is when I got the other. I got them from Amazon for the first and Argos for the second, as it was price-matched and I had a voucher.

I pay monthly for Amazon kids to be on them and bought cases from eBay.

Had a couple of £10 voucher codes through from Boden if anyone is planning a purchase in their sale:

Thanks for the beauty bargains suggestions, much appreciated

Thanks for the Rex hint - I picked up gifts for a new baby and housewarming presents

@Methenyouplus4 I have bought from Very before, it was priced matched with an Amazon deal and I had a code too. You can pay in one go so no credit necessary

Amazon prime day is 11th and 12th July xx

Just came to post this

Very lovely although still quite expensive, Cambridge Imprint sale could be good for someone who is difficult to buy for.
