Christmas bargain prequel thread

[Sideorderofchips]

Morning all

It's January and happy new year!

Time for the annual prequel thread. I'm going to try and be on it this year more

Post your bargains below 🎄🎅🎉

That's reassuring, thanks @Flubadubba & @cymrumam
Although my husband wants words with you Cymrumam😂 £100 later in TKMaxx & I have half a dozen gifts bought & a whole new wardrobe for my daughter for next winter, I'm thrilled, he's just a grump😂

Sorry I can't remember who was after Baileys, but Amazon have the 1ltr bottles for £13 currently.

@tabbycat985 😂😊but just tell him how much it would have cost him as you would have had to buy clothes and gifts anyway.

@psuedocream3 I was one the Baileys hunters - thank you!!!!!

@Yeknom you are very welcome!

Ariana Grande Cloud EDP perfume 100ml down to £28.20.

It's been going down all day so may go lower, but I don't think it's ever been lower for this!

Valentte have a 48hr flash sale. But one get one on diffusers and spend £40 get a free candle or diffuser plus free delivery. Bargain!

Hype have 30% off all items. Some Harry Potter bits in the sale (I've ordered a lunch box) also lots of rucksacks down to £9.99 before the additional 30% off

Boots has got 10% off some items. Not loads left but I've just ordered a great looking MTV desk mat for my niece. They had a stranger things one too

Where should I look for deals on Posca pens? I considered ebay but they are such a trendy item that I'd be concerned about whether they are genuine

Offers frequently cycle between Amazon, Hobbycraft, Rymans and WH Smith. It all depends on timing. I got the massive carry case box on Prime day, but individual ones can sometimes work out well when on offer at Hobbycraft.

These really cute green tea socks are on offer at five pairs for £3.98 from Amazon (might be Prime only) when you apply the 20% off code (in bold green writing below the Prime logo). And for some reason, they're checking out at just £2.98 if it's your first purchase with this promo code. Would be fab to split between tween/teen/adult stockings.

@falalalalalalalallama One of the biggest hits of Christmas was the little membership card I got my daughter for Tofu Cute. I only grabbed it as an afterthought when I was buying Japanese sweets and snacks for her stocking, in case she might like to shop there afterwards.

Tofu Cute stocks plushes, collectibles, snacks, sweets and more. It's kawaii heaven. The card is a physical item that was a £1 add-on when I checked out. It's like a Clubcard which offers discounted prices and member advantages but for some reason, she was completely tickled by it!

Beautybay have just released their skincare edit boxes, they are £40 each worth over £200, but if you spend £60 or more you get £20 off with code BUY20. If you bought both with the code its £32 each which is fantastic for the brands included. Don't forget topcashback.

The boxes contain teen favourites such as bubble skincare, starface stickers, sol de janiero and lots of other things like cleansing pads, spot remover toolkit.

These sell out fast and are limited to one each per customer.

The Smiggle Sale has some bargains, like this double decker lunchbox for £6. £2.50 deliver for orders over £30 which is a bit better than the usual fiver

Hey There Double Decker Lunchbox Navy - Smiggle Online

These are the biggest reductions

60% Off Or More | Smiggle

Thanks @psuedocream3 they look great. I've ordered one of each 😊

Plouise has three blushers for £18 instead of £15 each.

Would you know if these could be good for a 13 year old or would they be too strong for young skin?

@nickdrakeslovechild I've bought both for my 14 year old. Having looked at the ingredients the hydration box is mostly hylauronic acid which googling says is safe for any age. The blemish box I would say is more for spot prone skin, glycolic acid helps reduce acne, niacinamide helps reduce oil to stop spots and salicylic acid is used for spot prone skin too. The ingredients in my opinion isn't too strong for hormonal teens, the hydration box is better suited and seems more mild for less problematic skin as it's focused on hydration.

Thank you, that's really helpful 🙏

My Home Bargains has these:

• the jigsaws are lovely. I posted one I bought for myself in the Christmas thread, the pieces are in a little sack inside the box. Bought the gold one for a teen niece's stash.
• various Playmobils, the small boxes are perfect for stockings or as gifts to young friends

I ordered some this week from Hobbycraft with 25% off, plus they sent a £5 voucher for my birthday. Maybe could create a new account & happen to have your bday coming up? Worked out just over a tenner for set of 8 & free click & collect

Hi, Some cute little kids toys in Lidl this week.

If anyone is near Bicester Village, Rituals are having a clear out - loads of bargains and an extra 10% off if you are signed up to both the Rituals and Bicester Village apps. I bought a few things, (admittedly for me, including a previous year’s a/c which I am 99% sure will be fine for Xmas 24). I am wishing I had bought more as presents now! Neom also had some good deals, (but for some reason were insisting on a minimum purchase of two items!)

Final reductions at Dobbies today, lots of Christmas sweets and recs.

Sylvanian Families Country Doctor £24.99 on Amazon ATM.

I got a birthday £10 off for Boden if anyone wants to use it….expires 7th Feb

Hamleys seem to have good reductions on toys 🧸
