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!

TKMaxx have their summer clearance on - loads of good stuff.

Bought animal crossing monopoly for £13 which is a bargain plus ordered DS some Lyle and Scott t shirts at £6 each

Thanks @SootspriteSearcher for the towelling hoodie idea from Online Home Store which will be perfect for DS who has clearly grown out of his this holiday! £8.95 inc delivery and ordered through Topcashback so happy to take a punt on quality for that price

I don’t think you need to do clicky links anymore. Just copy and paste your link into your post.

sweet shop argos £5. Not a bad gift if you add in a bag of sweets 🤷🏼‍♀️

Edited

Spent my entire life wanting one of those… ruined now that I see those dreaded words ‘sweets not included’

Thanks for putting this thread together (and all the prequels!). I just stumbled across the prequels recently so now kicking myself that I didn’t know about the thread in previous years!

Am on the lookout for the best price on a Pikachu squishmallow (out of interest, does a Mario/Luigi one exist??) for my DS if anyone knows of anything! They’re full price everywhere I can see…I’d love to get him the 50cm one but I’m not paying £1/cm for a soft toy (partly because DH might pass out!) 😂

We got a Mario mushroom from Costco last year so they definitely do exist!

Thanks for the new thread

@sideorderofchips letting you know you’re missed and hope you’re ok.

BlackFlyChardonnay · 08/09/2023 07:49

I'm usually in denial about Christmas until about 3 weeks before the event, so I'm here hoping you lot inspire me to be more organised this year.

MannyTeddy · 08/09/2023 08:20

Not a bargain but an idea. We have always read to my daughter and at Christmas time we have a stock of 24 books and read one every night, some are compilations of stories too. We always end up on the night before Christmas on Christmas eve using the book used by my husband's mum. 🥰

This big inflatable monster punch bag type thing is £7 in argos and on amazon. Might be a fun way to bulk things our.

Did you see those today at Poundland @evtheria? I've been hesitating about the Snakesss game but would definitely give it a try at £5. And the air hardening clay also sounds good...

Yes, in my local and small Poundland :)

Asos has some cute Chelsea Pears Christmas bralettes and pjs in their outlet with further discount with code REVEAL

BNW motorsport hoodie

Just saw this on the M and M direct website. Limited sizes so would suit teen or small man. Other Puma motorsport stuff available also.

M and M direct are good for reduced sport stuff, plus they are increasing the number of brands they are doing.

Rose and Guy are doing Fiver Friday! Some nice little bits.

YorkshireWelsh · 08/09/2023 09:53

Thanks @User202242 I’ll ask my mum to have a look as she’s the one with a Costco membership! I’m hoping to find the actual Mario and/or Luigi characters; DS is only 4 and only knows these two from playing mariokart with his older cousin on his cousin’s switch….he asked for a switch off Santa this year, but we’ve decided no way as it’s difficult enough to get him off the family ipad sometimes! 😂

Do you mind sharing what the books are?
