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.

Hi guys, thank you so much for the great suggestions so far! I’ve bought for all the children and my mum so only a few more to go.

I am in need of a very tacky Christmas ornament and I mean the uglier the better! We have a long standing competition to see who can buy the worst ornament possible with our best friends but I’ve not seen anything truly hideous so far 😭

@justaweeone thank you so much for the suggestions but sadly they aren’t tacky enough. Think hideous ornaments for the side that have flashing lights and play high pitched Christmas music or a Christmas blanket that lights up and plays music and is made of awful squeaky felt fabric 🤣

AperolWhore · 23/07/2023 10:10

@justaweeone we both have that already and it definitely wouldn’t win the competition, not hideous enough haha

PumpkinSpicedTea · 23/07/2023 16:24

Can anyone remember when Smiggle do a sale? Was it at the beginning of the year maybe. Was wondering about back to school stuff.

This is pretty awful

Mrsfussypants1 · 23/07/2023 17:50

@PumpkinSpicedTea Smiggle have a ladder deal on right now, spend £75 get 20% off etc. Also have the giggle smiggle bundle for £30 which seems a good deal. I was going to buy one for dgd going into year 3 but she changed her mind to a hype one which was only £15 on m&m direct, hope its not huge though.

Mrsfussypants1 · 23/07/2023 17:52

Oh and whoever it was that shared the £3.50 24 pack of crayola pastel markers thank you. They are perfect to pop in the ikea mala drawing case for Christmas, we aren't quite ready for Posca pens yet.

HoHoJ0 · 23/07/2023 19:25

Oh my god @GrinAndVomit That is really something!!

Pompomagogo · 23/07/2023 19:30

Oh God @GrinAndVomit I can't unsee this now 😆

@ThreeRingCircus this is exactly the kind of thing I would buy, if only it fit my £50 limit.

I call it the classic tacky Christmas style x

I bought the festive scrotum last year. And some festive boobs. And three crocheted festive willies.

DM has a games room. With a very naice tree. We/other family were round on Boxing Day, and she has a big party the following day for all her friends.

Aforementioned festive smut was smuggled in and hung on the tree, just before we left. And was first noticed, at the party, by a 74yr old well to do woman that DM goes on walking holidays with. But just the balls. I believe the new next door neighbours discovered the trio of willies.

I received one text message from her that day. "For FUCKS sake, child!". I'm 41.

Mrsfussypants1 · 23/07/2023 21:16

@ThreeRingCircus I forgot about the 12 days of christmas and the menu. For some reason the advert and description makes me smile, I had an Aunt who used to craft (and gift) homemade items she'd spent weeks making that we all smiled and.said we loved. A bit of me wants to buy it for old times sake, DH would think I've lost the plot.

@ThreeRingCircus

Thank you for reminding me of this listing!

Disneyland2022 · 23/07/2023 21:31

Not sure if anyone is in the market for a Tonie box but they’ve got 25% off the bundles atm, and it stacks with the nhs discount. Makes it the same price as last years Black Friday deal.

Seven Hundred Quid!? I see there are 190 people watching it on ebay! Barmy doesn't even cover it.

This thread keeps crashing my app. I feel like it's some kind of conspiracy to stop me Christmas shopping in July!
