Christmas bargain prequel 2023 thread 3 🎄 - the one with farting ninjas 🥷

[InDreamland]

New thread for sharing bargains before the Christmas Bargains Thread is started by @Reastie.

Lots of the Amazon discount prices were correct when adding basket and then magically went up to full price when I purchased 🙈

Thank you @ChristmasCwtch .
Brilliant ideas. Especially the Bubble Tea idea ( I smile cheerfully while shelling out vast quantities of cash for these flavoured waters with colourful frogspawn lurking in the depths)....
Best wishes from your sister Welsh woman!

Thank you for the air-up link. I have just had mine delivered. Great present for those who are wanting one. However any idea on how to get the water to flow when you lift the pod up. My straw only works when it's pushed down/deactivated. I am message but it's driving me mad

Anyone know if Yoto often do discounts bigger than 10%? Wondering if it's worth holding off buying.

Any mini figure related gift ideas or deals? Has to be official Lego. My son loves the little blind bags but they’re expensive and I was thinking maybe a display case or something? Thanks.

Thank you whoever posted The Wintertide bear. Came today and it's a beautiful book, Amazon also accidentally sent me one extra too!

Evening all, I braved shops IRL today. I found a few bargains so thought I would share. My twins start school in Sept so I am stocking up for the anticipated dreaded class parties as well as Christmas.

I had ordered a couple of Bakugan online as my eldest wanted a couple for his birthday but it only allowed me to buy a couple with the biggest discount but when I went to collect them in store there were plenty so I grabbed a couple more. I have often paid £7 or £8 for a single Bakugan. These were £3.33 and £4. All three of my boys love them.

I then headed to Aldi which was awash with Barbie. I thought £3.99 for the projector torch was very reasonable and more the magnetic dress up thingie. It was £4.99 for the outfit.

Apologies for my overuse of ‘couple’!

Meh, you only used it a couple of times

Great price for Bakugan. Where do you order them from? @Dreamingofwalden

😂😂

The Bakugan were purchased from The Entertainer.

Bakugan

Have never heard of Bakugan but they look really interesting! What sort of age would you say they are best for?

Officially 6+ but my four year olds and soon to be seven year old all play fight over with them. I like them as they are small and don’t take up too much space. Good for holidays and day trips too.

My DC love Bakugan. They’re like tiny transformers.

Just a bit of advice though… some are very tricky to close and they can break easily. So I’d say 5 is the minimum age and even then they may need help closing them.

Also, don’t waste money on the arena!! That was a main request last year here and was a waste of money. They have lots of fun just playing with the little balls.

@Dreamingofwalden the Jacks birthday club 20% stacks with the discounts at The Entertainer for clink and collect orders. Such a good deal. I have many imaginary children to get more discount codes 😆

Has anyone used xs-stock? And do they do discount codes?

Just catching up, thanks so much for helping me feel over 50% of the way there with gifts.

Some Smiggle discounts here

Oh and you can get a sheet of personalised stickers for 'free' (£3 postage) here

@Dreamingofwalden @ChristmasCwtch thanks for the advice/info re Bakugan - my son is 4 and will be 4.5 by Christmas so think I'll chance it. He loves little fiddly things and is pretty careful so think they might be a a hit.

My daughter really wants an underwater camera. Any tried and tested recommendations?

Bath and Body Works soaps (£10 each) are buy two for £13. Have ordered some for my mum and aunt.
I love them but too expensive to buy for myself!
Hoping for inspiration on here as apart from dd I am completely without ideas this year ☹️

any recommendations for a go pro camera suitable for a 10year old?

thanks

Not sure if it's been mentioned but I use camelcamelcamel to notify me if amazon items drop below a certain price. Just set up one for the funny bunny game so I don't have to keep checking. Useful in the run up to Christmas x
