Christmas bargains thread 2 - where did Reastie go

[Sideorderofchips]

Evening all

Previous thread here : https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/4890114-christmas-bargain-thread-1-the-one-where-my-dad-is-17

@WimbyAce similar with the YSL stuff last year at JL

I've jumped on the trespass bandwagon too and bought a few bits via amazon this morning.

I'm happy to set up another thread for all things trespass order related while we eagerly await dispatch/cancellation/delivery instead of clogging up this thread.

@WhyDoesItAlways good idea 👍

Thanks for the Tresspass tip off mumsnetters! 2 coats and a backpack for work travel for me, gloves for DS, backpack for DH, and a gorgeous snowsuit for best friend’s baby….all for £36! Annoyingly I missed out on a gorgeous pair of snow boots for me but hey ho!
Fingers crossed it all turns up 🤞🤞🤞

Thanks for who mentioned the Melissa and doug magic set, mum and dad are getting it as their gift 👍🏻

Just as a little budget cutting idea for anyone who is struggling this year and normally buys for everyone every Christmas.. all of the adults in our family do secret santa with a set amount budget (we offer 3 budgets, everyone votes anonymously and then the lowest budget picked is what we go with so no one is going beyond their means). We all use the app "drawnames" to draw names and then each person can put a list on of things they would really like/have seen that's pretty cool etc. If they want to. That way everyone can get something they really want, or they can opt for a surprise :)
We also do this as parents amongst our group of friends with kids- it certainly makes things more manageable for us! :)

Sorry to ask for more advice. My DD (9) would like some cooking things that she can be independent with so not cooking! I’ve got the ice cream roll maker thing recommended on a previous thread. Any other ideas? X

Just seem this on Facebook for those looking for advent calendars.

Seen rather

i have just bought the Melissa andDoug deluxe magic set from here. They have an additional 5% off Melissa and Doug. I added a Melissa and Doug deluxe decoder set too and added a pack of colouring pencils to get free delivery.

Real life shopping today. It was very exciting! I can't remember the last time I went into town.
Managed to get a hogwarts rucksack in the M&S sale that was sold out online, some decent clothes & pjs on sale.
And they had their Xmas food so I've made my first purchase of the jelly merry munch. They also had advent calendars on sale.
Some beautiful kids dresses on sale in next too. Too nice for my girls unfortunately they are a bit feral 🤣

I managed to get the Snakesss game in Poundland, thanks to whoever originally posted.

I thought I was out of luck as it wasn’t with the Christmas stuff and the other games but in the toy section with the really young baby toys so worth looking around if you want it.

I Iive chatted them today and got told they were out of stock, and they would be out for delivery soon but no timescale

I've literally just had a dispatch notification on my previously out of stock glossy boxes, so hopefully everyone else will soon too

Squee! not a bargain, but I went into town with DD today and she bought me Roger La Borde - Heart of the Forest AC Large Pop & Slot 3D Advent Calendar (tindalls.co.uk) this for my Christmas present. I thought you guys would approve!

That’s strange, but glad you got your bracelet! (The most important gift 😉)
I raised a complaint via PayPal and they refunded my for 1 of the payments, but for the other they have said it’s been passed to Fossil for feedback, fingers crossed I either get the items or they arrange a further refund

@MerylSqueak that's gorgeous! It would make me squee too 😍

If anyone is after a silly stocking filler B&M had pigs in blanket flavour pasta mugshots in today (dated 2025) for 50p

My valente order arrived and I'm so impressed. I'm gifting the wax melts but keeping the rest for me. All smells divine. I'm definitely going to order more from them.

Went through topcashback which may or may not track

I’m sure this has already been mentioned but the Pandora 3 for 2 is on. Thank you for the Boxtail link, picked up some cocktails for the older teens stockings, I used your link @Racingadmin but put in the THANKYOU20 so not sure if you’ll get the referral?

The Garmin Forerunner 45 is a great first fitness tracker. Tracks by GPS. Currently £130 on the website, they do do Black Friday deals but it’s not always all their range of watches so might not go cheaper on the website. If you know anyone who has vitality health insurance then you can get 35/40% off it.

Amazing, thank you!! That's part of my best friends present sorted!!!
