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

Snapfish have 30% of everything and 50% off £40+
They do so sorts of stuff now including playing cards, memory games (matching ties) etc.

Has anyone seen any bargainous Polly Pockets?

Also does anyone know if it’s possible to buy spare ‘Pollys’? We keep losing the little people that’s sent with them, I’ve had a look on eBay but it’s flooded with people selling vintage ones for such huge prices it would probably be cheaper to just buy a new set, but it just seems so wasteful when all i want is the little person, and she wants a new style one, not a vintage one anyway

If you join the Happy Puzzle company mailing list they automatically link you to their jigsaw club. I had this email which says they release new jigsaws every two weeks. I've just purchased this for my sister it's £20.

@IDontDrinkTea Amazon often have deals on PP if you're not too fussy about which ones.

Smyths have the flamingo one for £12.49 and Argos (I think it's there) have the big heart back pack one for £20 - I paid £40 for this a while ago and that was a bargain as rrp was £50!

There is a PP advent calendar that includes little people and a dog/ baby/ other bits. Mine loved that the year they had the big PP's as it all went together.

Lego waves is £43 on Argos atm

Hope this is ok to share but the IG influencer Douceur has a 25% off Elemis code on a recent post. Screenshot showing IG acc and the post. Code is DOUCEUR25

No use as a Christmas present but if anyone has a taylor swift fan they are showing the tour show in Cinemas on the weekend of 13-15th October.

I've just booked for me and dd2..

Anyone seen a cheap taylor swift top anywhere?!

I’m here dithering about the valnette diffusers. Did anyone order the gift bags? I’m not sure if they don’t look a little too big for a single diffuser. Are the diffusers themselves boxed or loose?

And did anyone order their chocolate? I might need to eat breakfast before trying to shop for bargains!!!

Thank you! That's DH sorted.

Lego Great Wave £46

Poundland quite often have them in blind bags. They come with a ring though

The diffusers arrived boxed and they smell amazing, just as good as Neom if not better, I’d really recommend them 😊

@CamdenLurker thanks I think I’ll go for it

@IDontDrinkTea I've just got this one from Smyth's for my 6 year old... https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/fashion-and-dolls/polly-pocket/polly-pocket-tiny-mighty-backpack-compact/p/189328?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces_across_google&gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpc-oBhCGARIsAH6ote_4sYWZbe6lu6Ri77_9KsiuEKqKmtpt5aBwgW0-MV-WLM3OXSrGl_waAu_hEALw_wcB

No idea about spare Polly Pockets it's something I'd like to get as well.

Are we supposed to tag @Reastie to say the thread is nearly full?

I have a cheap version of the lumie clocks that start glowing 30 mins before the alarm. They also have the option of a get darker slowly time at night which could work well for a night light of sorts.

i've had mine for five years and love it, and see they now offer children friendly versions?

Something like this?

send help, I can’t stop buying beauty boxes. Just got the latest Bridal beauty one which is £30, WELCOMEBACK takes off most of the postage cost

I’m kicking myself for not ordering more Glossybox mystery boxes when they were £5 (and despite ordering 4, I missed the multi buy offer where you could get slightly cheaper!)

I did get a bonus freebie though as they accidentally sent a mystery box instead of one of the more expensive ones I’d ordered (which they have now sent to me)

@Famousthehero do you know what will be included in the festival edit? Thanks

@OnionBag not exactly, but their email said:

Get your hands on our sell-out festival edits, packed with makeup and skincare from all our favourite brands from the day plus some added extras.
Brands include: Charlotte Tilbury, Penhaligon's, Benefit, Shiseido, The White Company & PIXI to name a few. PLUS all edits include an Elemis Rose Cleansing Balm.
We have a very limited number remaining, so please be quick!. Worth a huge £150 and yours for only £30.

Thanks so much for this! I've sorted several gifts with this. Can't wait to get them

Love the fact it's a small business who manufacture and hand make in the UK too

I haven't ordered this year, but I bought the festival edit last time it was on when it was £25. I got the usual collagen supplements, candy kittens, mini lipstick, 5 perfume samples, false nails, pixi toner, tan luxe superglow tanning drops and lots of other bits. I was able to keep some for myself and make up a beauty advent for DD with the rest.

I notice this year says it includes Charoltte Tilbury. I got a CT pillow talk lip gloss in my last mystery box so I'd put money on that being in it.

You and I were separated at birth

In the interests of enabling others bad habits have you looked at -

You beauty box - sign up and get first box £7.50 (cancel after)

And Sephora - sign up for 12 months choose your contents (look at them all first as sizes differ) for £9. Cokes in a cute canvas bag and the delivery box last year could be tuned inside out to act as cute packaging for a gift. Cancel after.

@RainbowZebraWarrior thanks 😊

White company sale is on, some candles etc in the sale. I purposely have not clicked in the clothes sale!
