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.

@Givealittlebit that was me last year! There are some fab baby bits on the John Lewis sale, I saw some baby shoes from about £4.

The maroon disappeared before I could check out 😢

I really don't need those tote bags but I've got 3 sat in my basket 🤦‍♀️

I bought 3 for 2 x SILs and a friend. Thanks for posting!

Bargainmax have 25% off some already reduced toys with code TOY25 which is worth a look. I got Rummikub Novo (supposed to be the same as original Rummikub but with tiles that are easier to stack) for £6.75 and Dobble 10th anniversary which includes two games for £7.50. I was also tempted by Ticket to Ride New York which is included but I resisted. They had loads of Marvel figures too.

Thank you @snowmanshoes I've bought 3, 1 for my daughter and 2x friends daughter. Fab bargain thank you

Thanks for this. We have ticket to ride junior which DP likes more than DS so I just got him the new York version.

I also found a frozen 2 themed coding kit for £6 after the 25% off which looks like a good intro for young kids.

I’ve just bought three Urban Outfitters corduroy tote bags, with free postage for £30 and over. Thank you @snowmanshoes for letting us know. There are several different styles and colours.

Total coincidence, but I gave away 2 tote bags to a friend this morning. Must have been meant.

glad you’re liking the tote bag bargain! By the time my dad got back to me her choice of colours had gone 😵‍💫🫢 - oh well - she didn’t really need one (I keep telling myself 😁)

Dd not dad obviously

Would that tote bag be ok for school, my dd is starting high school in September. It doesn’t say zip fastening so maybe not. I need something to tempt her away from her rather babyish unicorn backpack.

@BonesBrennanz my DD started high school last sept. I got her a plain black Kipling rucksack which she does still use but her preferred option is a leather look primark black tote bag. It was only cheap but she loves it.

This one

Thank you, she loves primark so maybe I’ll try taking her in to look.

If anyone has teen girls to buy for Farm Foods (random I know) has lots of Revolution cosmetics stuff in, I picked up two large brushes and a beauty blender set, priced at £1.99 each or 3 for £3, they also had eyeshadow pallets in various colours for £2.99 and whole sets for £7.99.

They also had The Ordinary foundation for 49p, but limited shades.

I've also bought 3 for £30 and got free postage. They'll make a great present for DSis and a couple of friends but now I'm wondering whether I should keep one for myself? 🤣

I've just bought the gravitrax starter set for £25 from Amazon. It's gone slightly cheaper before but £25 seemed a good price to me.

Does anyone have any ideas on how/ where I can get a Very discount code- existing customer- please? I have blue light card but can’t see anything on there…

Urban outfitters also have some wee bargains in their sale. Stranger things video tape like, £5 down from £20. Wee instax frames, £2.50 down from £10. A face scrubber thingy, £4 down from £12

@LostMyRubySlippers Do you want to try this one for 10% off, VAB96
No idea if it's account specific I'm afraid!

Thanks for the tote bag tip, I ordered 6 😮 but I have a few late teens/twenty something Birthdays in January so they're for that really. I'm on mat leave atm due to end October after having dd3 so I'm actually thinking of announcing a stop to adult presents for this Christmas 🫣 so wish me luck. God knows how I will resist this thread as I've been a terrible twitcher since my first baby nearly 6 years ago now! But I buy for 16 adults and only three children (with the exception of my own!) It's just not sustainable. I will be on be on the lookout for bargains as I go on to December for my little ones though! (Will be 6, 3 and 1 by dec) lovely to be on this thread 🥰

First presents officially brought thanks to the Rex London sale!

Thanks so much, will give that a go!

Not christmas but M&S 20% off school uniform has started today and selling fast if anyone is getting a start on September uniform.
