Thanks @GoatsareGOAT for the title. Luckily, she was referring to the board game peeps!

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.

I'm really taken by the Christmas one @PurpleSkittle 😂. Secretly probably just buying for myself 😳. It's a shame it isn't still at the bargain price posted earlier though. I'll have a look at the entertainer too.

I also like the idea of building a 'run' ourselves with whatever we have in the house. DS would probably enjoy that more too as he likes doing similar for his hot wheels which are currently the only toy he'll really play with.

If you've got magnetic tiles, they work well to make mazes too.

Also was someone looking for fingerboards? Or were they being talked about because Amazon have deals on? Too lazy to check...

I’m also looking for book bundles - always used to get them from the Book People but haven’t struggled since they went bust

dramalamma · 18/11/2023 21:41

Not exactly bargain related but can anyone suggest a Christmas gift list app where I can put photos of what I've bought? I have a tendency to forget what I mean when I juts add a discription! TIA.

Does anyone know the best price for the full series of Harry Potter books per chance? Not sure what I should expect to pay :) thanks

@Chocolateteabag if you wouldn’t mind sending me the 20% Hot Diamonds please, I’m looking at a necklace for my mum’s birthday.

Singlelady23 · 18/11/2023 21:44

If you create and account and leave something in your basket they will send you one. Took about ten minutes for mine.

I use the Gift List app. Picture of a red present with a yellow ribbon. I love it and have used it for 3 years now

Wishingiwastracytutor · 18/11/2023 21:56

I’m using gift list, it has worked out well so far! You can share it, I’m sharing with my husband.
you can add ideas or things you have purchased already and budgets for each people.

Can anyone suggest a how to draw book I can buy for my 10 year old DS who loves drawing?

thaegumathteth · 18/11/2023 22:20

Laneige sleeping lip mask seems to be reduced on cult beauty, tiktok shop and beauty bay.

It seems to be the 'in thing' with young teens.

thaegumathteth · 18/11/2023 22:35

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but I'd very wary of buying air ups from temu. They won't have had the same safety checks as the real thing and personally I wouldn't use them for me or especially for the kids.

I've seen the books in a bundle in the works, I think maybe all for about £30 but I might be wrong.

Draw with Rob are popular books and there are you tube videos to follow also.

These books (there's a Christmas one too!) are amazing for teaching you how to see the shapes you're drawing, all based on the "drawing on the right side of the brain" ideas. My kids love them & they were recommended by the professional artist in our family.

DS6 has asked for bath toys and books from Santa. If anyone has any ideas for anything suitable for his age I would be very grateful.

Used the search function (brought up slimming world threads) and tried google and flicked back pages on here…but cannot find Christmassy hexbugs! Could someone please point me in the right direction

Eaglefree · 18/11/2023 23:03

Does anyone have a discount code for GOAT? Seen some trainers that i like only on that site. Thanks

TheresNoTelescreen · 18/11/2023 23:07

@OliviaFlaversham thank you so much for the suggestion, unfortunately he has very sensitive skin so wouldn't dare attempt that as fun as it looks. We have an extensive collection of empty bottles though!

They are all sold out. They were 3.99 on eBay. The seller put the price up to 5.99 then quickly went out of stock. The ones for £6 on Amazon are also out of stock (well, showing as 13.99 via other sellers)
