Christmas Bargain Thread 1 - the one where my dad is 17

[Reastie]

Thanks @snowmanshoes for the title!

Hello everyone, so nice to see you all. Pull up a chair, have a mince pie and a peppermint latte and share your Christmas bargains and ideas. In message two are the links and info from last year - if anyone has anything they'd like me to amend or add, please do tag me and I'll update.

A reminder not to post affiliate links in the thread but that MN do change amazon links shared by posters into MN affiliate links.

Please do watch the thread rather than post to mark place to make it easier for everyone to keep up and find relevant info.

A massive thank you to those who have contributed and/or run the prequel threads this year. I can't believe it's another year! I started these when DD was a baby and she's just gone into Year 8!

Asda have sone good deals on toys. South American Duplo animals set is a good price.

Sorry- could anyone point me in the direction of the Naked Marshmallow discount link please- I cannot find it in the thread 🙌🏻

@Crazykevin sorry the naked marshmallow offer was a sale which ended last week!

I had a dispatch email from Fossil so I think you might have just been a bit unlucky @Justhereforthechristmasthreads unfortunately 😞

For those missing the body shop smells, Fabulosa make a dewberry, white musk and peach smelling disinfectant. Suppose you could always dab a bit behind your ears

@RatatatCat - have got good paper in m & s and next last couple of years - I tend to get the 10m rolls, they are sometimes wider too and, and usually 3 for 2
Also had good ones from co op too.

All non flimsy, and sometimes double sides.too.

Thank you for the Gruum offer, tween DD will be so pleased.

Thanks for the Grumm tip off. Ordered for my tween DD but I've added the hydrating facial spray too which brought the total to £5.95. Still decent. Might save it for her feb birthday depending on how much ive got her for Xmas but a great deal.

Not a bargain but Martin Lewis has some Christmas tips in case this helps anyone:

@Vebrithien another appreciation post for the Gruum deal - what a bargain! My daughter will love it. I also added the facial mist as a gift for myself 😉 win win!

£1 range available at books for bugs- chapter books are in packs aimed at PTA's etc but picture books are single books

Thank you @Theraffarian for this. Two jumpers arrived today for DS and. DH. Less than £16 including postage.

This is genius. My sister is a cleaning freak so will be right up her street!

Thank you for the Gruum offer! Ordered. And also added the mist for myself. 😁

I'd like another set actually so may sign up with my husbands details and order again.

Does anyone know of any vouchers to make the marvel Lego advent calendar a bit cheaper? £30 is a lot!

My DD (9) wants a camera that prints out. Which one is good for this age? Xx

My 10 and 8 year olds each have the Photo Creator Instant Camera and both love them and use them lots. They only print black and white pictures but they are happy with them and you can add fun effects. You can personalise the cameras with stickers which come in the set. They work out good value for money because they don’t need ink and you get a few spare rolls in the box, which last for ages. I looked at colour cameras but the refills are very expensive and not worth it at their ages I don’t think.

Some intriguing things in the Glossybox outlet including mystery boxes for £5 and a nice looking Grazia winter box for £30

I’m tempted by the £5 ones; think the bridal beauty co was a gateway box for me…

Thank you @Famousthehero Just bought my nieces and brothers gifts, and maybe something for myself. :D

Very tempted by the mystery boxes and then mens grooming box for DS14.

Ooh thanks for the glossy box link…
I bought a couple of boxes last year when I got my dd the advent calendar and was pleased at full price so I’ve ordered a couple of them (one for each dd) so thank you!
