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!

Great game. Jacques London sell a beautifully boxed version if buying for a gift

Love these threads but no longer have children to buy for. Hope folks will post good ideas for adults too!

Thank you to the posted on the last thread that recommended Jacques of London. I ordered a marble reward jar to use with DS now. It arrived very quickly, in a smart box with ribbon. The packaging looks very luxe.

Jacques of London they have some different offers on now, BOGOF etc

Bought dd a few tops and A pair of wellies from Hype. 50% off with HYPE50 and free delivery

Does anyone have any codes or referral codes for bird and blend please? Looking for a fun tea gift for my old man DS12 🤣

Not a code, but their advent calendar is great, I brought it for my husband last year! Would thoroughly recommend.

Bookeez is reduced on amazon - I'm not sure 44% off is really accurate, but it's still cheaper than I've seen it elsewhere (£8.49)

Not sure if it's any good, but it looks like something my nearly 7yr old will love

Deal of the day: John Adams | Bookeez: Your very own book making studio | Arts & Crafts | Ages 7+,26.5 x 6.5 x 24 cm https://amzn.eu/d/3JSuxFH

This seller makes decorations I found a Pepsi Max cherry butterfly but maybe if you message them they could make a Pepsi Max one for you? I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you to the PP on the previous thread who mentioned the Usbourne sticker books Got one as a surprise to keep DD entertained on a long flight.

Excited about You Choose Christmas as well.

gardening gift £7.95 amazon

I am gutted that the price on Speak and Spell’s has only come down now my girls are a bit too old for one! I have looked most Christmases for about 7 years…

But on a similar retro theme Lite Brites are 15% off on Amazon at the moment - we love these in our house (as I did as a child!)

Amazon have some good discounts on Auto Glym products, including a couple of sets which would make nice gifts for car enthusiasts

@WetFlump have you bought this? (Gardening set) as it’s coming up unable to be delivered in U.K. for me.

Thanks for this I was looking for an advent calendar for myself and this looks ace!

@BadgerFace Thanks for the Lite Brite idea my DD will love this!

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Dear Father Christmas by Alan Durant is a lovely book, similar to Jolly Postman as there are letters in the book. My DC loved it for years.

If anyone sees any offers on either

LANEIGE (partially the lip scrub)

and

SOL DE JANEIRO

Please let me know. I bought my daughter £80 worth of SOL DE JANEIRO for her birthday as they had a great deal on back in June and I got a good discount + some stuff for free.

Now she wants the big shampoo and conditioner for Xmas and they are £23 a bottle.

Thank you @WetFlump and @BadgerFace that is a speak and spell and lite brights ordered!

I have a five pound off for both of us type referral link that I can send you? I twitched on one of their lovely Halloween advent calendars for October birthdayed dd which I think she'll love (we often treat ourselves to a pouch in store)

@Famousthehero thanks for sharing - I didn't know about this game. I'm assuming Grabolo is the same concept as Dobble? I've just ordered it for DD 8 who is the BIGGEST Dobble fan 😂

I'm not sure this is allowed (or very presenty) but I have a referral code for 10% off a Myoovi period pain relief thing. Full disclosure- I get a credit when you use it. The code is CONNIE18115

I think it was last year there was talk of the crimpit devices

They are currently on offer on their website. And they do a wrap one now as well as their square one

Crimpit

Yes please @spudsuliked 😊thanks!

You have two dice, colours and objects. So you might roll a white tree then it's the first to grab the white tree. You hold all your grabbed things in a closed hand.

If the white tree isn't there as someone already has it you can try and remember who has it and name them (or name yourself). If you are right you get the object but if you're wrong you have to put one of yours back.

DS is only 4 so we just roll the dice and look for them
