@Justhereforthechristmasthreads

That panda is amazing and cheap. My panda loving 7 year old would love it. If only they did an equally large and cheap elephant for my Ellie loving 5 year old. Has anybody seen any?

There’s a large elephant in the sale at H&M? Sorry cant see how to link to it but it’s £13 instead of £24.99 and weighs nearly a kilo so
must be quite large!

We have this one. Was about tenner from China. Little white rabbits get grubby quickly

I would be very grateful to know where you found the carrot for a tenner? Ive only found it on Amazon for £25.99

ChristmasCrumpet · 18/10/2023 07:14

Yes....what are people typing as the general term to find these things? DH just suggested I search Amazon for "pillow gives birth to toys" and I don't think that's quite it Grin

50cm £12.99
80cm £17.99

Hello. Gosh, I went on holiday at the start of thread one, then been really busy with the chaos that is DD2s 2nd birthday and general life and I've missed 4.5 threads and no doubt some amazing bargains. Hope all doing well and well in your way with the Christmas shopping. I still have a few people to buy for.

DH needs socks.

I was theilled to find that my 20% off full basket Lakeland voucher that I got through the post stacks with the 20% off hampers voucher. So FILs present was £29.99 and I got it for £19.20.

I have seen this mentioned earlier in the thread but it has saved me a lot of money.

Vodafone have £50 off a £250+ spend. I have just bought a pre-order Nintendo switch and sports game for £210 plus delivery.

The code seems generic, Very50. the T&Cs say they refund the payment method with the £50.

Exceptions seem to be some apple products, PlayStation 5 and a couple of others.

Thank you to PP for the currys and Mario code too.

Not used @Notasockbandit but would be interested to know too - looks right up DS’s street.

My local Sainsburys had this Playmobil in the clearance. Reduced from £60 to £30 - looks a good price for a big box.

Thank you @Cubic - I have ordered the 80cm pig from wowcher and very much hoping it’s good when it arrives! I have never used wowcher before, but fingers crossed! Style wise it’s perfect, so I’m just hoping it’s big enough when it comes and looks good. I think on reflection, last year’s one must have been about a metre in length so I do hope this one looks as impressive.

really appreciate all the suggestions

Realfastfoodie · 18/10/2023 08:21

Ooh @InDreamland - that sounds like a good deal! Are those codes shareable? Thank you!

Cubic · 18/10/2023 08:35

@PopcornAndGummyBears glad I could help and really hope it does the trick for you.

toolate2 · 18/10/2023 09:28

CottonHeadedNinnyMug · 18/10/2023 09:33

Another Boden code

Technically not Christmas themed but Sainsbury’s TU has 25% Halloween costumes with the code HALLOWEEN25
I used it on the Argos website to get faster free click and collect.

It was AliExpress but last year so may not still be that price!

Morning all :) I am on the look out for some little toy groceries. I'm getting the kids a little supermarket shop set up for christmas, and I need stuff for them to buy/sell. I'd prefer wooden rather than plastic if possible. We already have the asda george sets of wooden food, we got those a couple of years ago, so I'm really looking for cans and packet type groceries if that makes sense! Has anyone seen anything bargainous?

VeruccaSalty · 18/10/2023 09:56

Actually still pretty cheap! Although it says 'first order price' so not sure if welcome offer

Morning all- make up storage on sale at Debenhams. Think these sold out quickly last time. Free delivery over £15

CanIPutTheTreeUpYet · 18/10/2023 10:27

@Xmasgifts I can't get an accurate colour pic, in different lights they're all showing it to be more sliver/lighter grey than it is. I've zoomed into the eBay pic, I think the darkest shade there is close to what the true colour is.
Edit: just compared it to mine and mine is abit lighter than that 🙄 but it's been washed and line dried alot so likely has faded abit? I'm not being much help, sorry! It's definitely not what I'd call a dark grey anyway. Mid, I'll say mid grey.
