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.

Mine too!!

If anyone sees any Posca pens on offer please let me know. I know there were some last year but can't remember where or what they went down to.

@nickdrakeslovechild I've been looking all week, WHS have 3 for 2 and 20% off but a very limited selection.

I got my DD the big Posca box on Black Friday last year. It was half price. It's currently at £69 on Amazon which is pretty good. (It's 39 pens including metallic ones of various thickness / sizes)

It was hobby craft last year and they were half price starting at £8

Which pattern is still on their site please

any smallish gift ideas for a 10 year old boy, please? Need to send it in the post. Up to £30 x

What’s he like? Is he a gamer/football fan etc?

My daughter’s a similar age and would love a Roblox gift card, so it depends what he likes really.

Id send a onesie.x

Wondering if anyone with a Student Beans account could send me a Krispy Kreme discount code pretty please? Just realised I can get them delivered and they'd be perfect for our sleepover party!

Uno/Top Trumps? Game for a console?

My daughter is 11, she would love roblox voucher, American sweets, wireless headphones.

She also likes card/board games like exploding kittens, uno, herd mentality, p is for pizza, colour brain, OK play, what came first, throw throw burrito, dobble, no more llamas.

The moose oodie and the star wars oodies are genuine as we have them both. Love the moose one

The cocktail one is an oodie and the Rick and mortys look to be too

The Wax lyrical snow candles arrived and I’m happy with them for £3.05; they’re not boxed but look a respectable size.
I’ll get more if the price drops again, and also keep an eye on the Pink version

Thanks all, yes it was Hobbycraft. I will keep my eye out.

Right ....tennis has finished ....I am going to open the hallmark Christmas box and try and divide it up and put it away.

DS keeps asking me ...why is in that big box in the hallway that is really annoying 😂.

i didn't tell him it was Christmas wrapping paper !!!

Can anyone remember what the bargain camping fire pit was last year? I think that's what it was anyway! Or if not last year's a link to something recommended would be hugely appreciated!

Think it was this.

I got DP one for about £13 so it hasn't gone up too much in price. We actually haven't used it but used a friend's in a camping trip and it did the job for keeping us warm in the evening and toasting marshmallows.

Polly Pocket advent calendar £11.95 on Amazon. Gets good reviews.

Sorry, can't remember how to link.

If anyone sees the Amulet graphic novels going cheap please say. Or any that are suitable for 8/9 ish please. I know nothing and will happily take advice!
I missed out on a £20 box set on vinted yesterday and am still gutted.

Really gad to be joining these threads again this year, they have been such a help since I discovered them. I've made a start and am waiting on my Rex London stocking fillers bargains, thank you to whoever posted that tip!

These look great! What do they smell like? Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions for a 10 year old. He seems to have a lot of things, and has older siblings too, so looking for inspiration. He's sporty but not into gaming.

Scholastic have some of the amulet books and the boxset. They also send a 15% off voucher a couple of days after signing up

"These look great! What do they smell like? Thanks"

In previous years they were boxed nicely and I have 2 but they are waaaay too headache inducing for me. Very heavily perfumed.

Thanks @Maybethismaybethat I've signed up. Currently £57 but fingers crossed for a sale!
