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.

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

Thanks to this thread I've finally kicked off my Christmas Bargain thread bargains for this year 😊 with the Valentte tester, the 8 hour cream gift set, the free postage for Lakeland (and 15% off through the referral thread), and more.

I have a couple for you guys - there's 50% off Elizabeth Arden on their own site, (not sure if it's everything or selected things but I needed Visible Difference cream for mum and it was £17.50 instead of £35) plus free delivery and a couple of samples and a popup link to 20% off for new customers signing up that I couldn't get to work but I don't know if that's becausei managed to select the 'no I don't want this' option initially as I didn't know she wanted it when I first opened the site.

To the silly end of things - search for gardening gloves claw on Amazon - they cost £5-10 and are gardening gloves that have integrated nails to help you with gardening tasks. Lots of them have coloured nails and/or green skin to look like wicked witch hands so might be useful for Halloween too :). Haven't got mine yet so can't report on quality but looked a fun present for a hard to buy for gardener (or witch!).

Sadly, no Windy in Wandsworth. They say Shaftesbury Ave store is v small so unlikely to get one there but Westfields more likely. I'm not close but my DD haunts the place at weekends unless anyone else going to White City sooner??!

Thankyou so much for trying i do really appreciate it

If anyone is trying a miniso store I’m more than happy to call that store and see if they’ve got one to reserve rather than having everyone trek into towns?!

There’s no online stock checker but the staff in the stores seem really helpful when I’ve called round quite a few earlier in the week

I have a 1 time use code for £10 off a £50 spend at Boden that can be used alongside a discount code as it goes through as a voucher. Let me know if anyone wants it.

My DD is 20m and over the last few months has got really into colouring/painting, small world animals (farm animals and dinosaurs), toy cars and dressing up accessories like hats/handbags etc.
Books are always popular as is any sort of
ball.
From a practical point of view she is just moving out of baby cutlery and plates into more toddler ones and also has just started using a pillow so bedding sets have been useful.
We recently brought this which has been brilliant but quite expensive (you can get 10% off on their own website).

Inspire My Play Tray - Tuff Tray with Lid - Messy Play Tray for Toddler - Kids Sensory Play Trays - Developmental Sensory Toys for Disabled Children - Perfect for Water and Sand amzn.eu/d/3DZ0H97

Oh and over the summer she loved her water tray if they don't already have something like that. She has also really got into sand so loving her bucket and spade. She loves carrying the bucket out on walks to collect 'treasures'.

Thanks for this, just got Caroline Herrera Good Girl perfume for under £40 and also Lancaster sun beauty face cream for £12 (£25 in boots).

Has anyone got one of these? Are they any good?

Thank you so much @Room4onemore that's amazing 🤩

@GettingOldWithoutStyle i got one, if you need it pm me

I’m a big fan of secondhand/refurbished too. I’d suggest a reputable company like Backmarket or CEX. You won’t save as much as buying direct from a seller but you will be buying something that definitely works. Have done this (bought from both companies) but not with a Nintendo Switch. They both definitely sell them though.

Anyone doing a big Boots order - today you get an extra £10 in advantage points for every £60 spent. Annoying because I did my big order yesterday 🙄

They still have the bargain 8 hour cream gift set (I had thought it was a 1 day thing from their wording but it appears not) - there are a couple of big sets at just under half price including one with lots of makeup brushes in a beauty case for about £30 instead of £60

there are also lots of advent calendars (from popcorn to peppa pig to beauty and grooming with prices reduced if you have an advantage card…

for anyone needing a cheap but useful funny, they had Brussels sprout flavour lip balm (£4 but on the 3 for 2).

@superstar84 I FOUND IT!! In lakeside do you still need it?

Yes please!!! Is it the lying down one? It’s got a tag with the name windy and date of birth 7tb feb?!

@superstar84 yeah its thats one 😊

I love this thread, so much kindness!

Please can you buy it?! I’ll pm you! Thanks so much I can’t believe she’s going to get her toy back 😊

I have got it 😊 it is safe with the rest of my shopping 😊

I had a look in primark too but no mermaid cushion (it said out of stock online but i thought id look)

Just looking to make an order on Claire’s with the additional 20% off doesn’t seem to be want to work - have emailed them but has anyone else experienced an issue?

@NotAdultingToday as schools get to have star of the week I think you officially get to be the threads
⭐️⭐️ Star Elf of the week ⭐️⭐️

She’s definitely going to make my daughter very happy!

windy will be home for Christmas!!! 🐸

I also have a £10 off £50 boden voucher, if anyone wants it.

Hooray for @NotAdultingToday ! Definitely don't Adult any more today!

They say ‘Father Christmas is a woman’ - we do all the work/magic making and some imaginary man gets all the credit…
anyway it’s lovely to see so many big hearted father christmases hard at work finding gifts for people 💝
