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.

Some small Lego sets were reduced today in Morrison’s, I bought some for stocking fillers

This is good at almost half price. My kids played with it for hours and hours. It's mostly all wooden too so no plastic tat.

Cath Kidston gift set with 3 pretty hand creams £3.45 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B06VX6YRWW/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Oh wow gonna grab these. Thanks for sharing

Hallmark box is back at £17.90! Likely still cheaper than buying each component individually.

Just came on to say this about the Hallmark box!

Hallmark Christmas-in-a-Box Contemporary Bundle - Includes Stylish Wrapping Paper, Tags, Bags, Cards and Crackers, in Festive Colours amzn.eu/d/28CQ5Kg

Got a Hallmark box 🎁

Thanks!!

Brand Alley have an amazing sale on, I've just bought a pair of Ugg slides for £9!
Also seem to have a huge amount of reduced cashmere wrist warmers, scarves etc for less than £8 & sheepskin slippers for £6

Me too. Its arrived and it's HUGE. Will take up half the house till Christmas 😂

Anyone open the boxywt ?
I can't find my sellotape to tape it back up if it is going to easier to store for now as a big box ....
How are the contents packaged ?

Box yet !

I haven't opened this year box yet, but I had one last year. It's easy to open and close as it has those flappy things that tuck in (v. technical, me) so you shouldn't need tape to tape it shut again.

To add - the contents are packaged exactly like the pic. So 2 boxes of crackers then the packs of cards (they aren't loose) then the gift bags / cello wrapped tissue are all neatly fitted alongside. It's all quite tidy.

Trying my hardest not to be a sheep because I really do not need the Hallmark box but it looks lovely😂

Barbie Chelsea travel doll is down to £5.98, I paid £13 for it a fortnight ago😫

Photobox are offering a photo book for £5 with code GIFT

I can't remember if the M&S uniform swap deal has been mentioned yet?

I did it today in store and you don't actually need to drop any clothes off to benefit (although I did!). There was a box in store and a QR code to scan which added a 20% off kidswear to my Sparks account. Annoyingly this isn't valid on kids' accessories cos DD has lost her sunglasses but it got me money off some leggings she'd need anyway and a spiderman jumper for DS that I'll put away for his birthday.

If you’re buying for a small child, this is a good price on a lovely book https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1406358789/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks for the doll tip off tabbycat985 I've bought one for DD. And I'm the same with the hallmark box! I buy my wrapping paper in the sales after Xmas 🙈 but it's tempting when everyone says how lovely it is! I'm staying strong 💪

Ugg bargains all gone 😢

Claires have got a good deal on, 50% off lots of things, then use SUPER20 for an extra 20% and it's free delivery over £20. I got 10 things for £21 delivered so stocked up for birthday presents.

Holland and Barrett have some psychic sisters crystals and oils reduced, great for teens and tweens

There's 3 for 2 on 'back to school' (we've not even finished school?!) at WHSmith and extra 20% off stationery. Might be good for Sharpies and other bits.

Anyone else find Prime Day a letdown this year? I got a Pinch of Nom book for £2.85 (onky 15p less than what it was selling for on Monday), but that's it!

Emma Bridgewater has final markdowns on sale items.

QVC have got a Liz Earle TSV pre-launch. £52 plus £3.95 p&p for the Liz Earle Day to Night Renew and Restore 6 Piece Skincare Collection
