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 🎄🎅🎉

@hby9628 - if you are ordering an Oodie from Oodie themselves, you should order now - they can be very very slow at delivering their goods. I ordered early November and my item came in the last delivery before Xmas!

You could always put it away for later - they arrive parcelled up quite small.

Yeah it's a decent price isn't it. I might just go for it....if I can decide which design

I don’t think the kids’ Oodies went cheaper than £27 in their BF sale.

I know from another thread I was on, that some people were still waiting for their BF purchases at the end of January. It makes sense to order now when you are not under a time constraint.

I also suggest paying via PP in the event of any problems.

Not trying to put you off - the products are great - but prompt delivery can be an issue at the Oodie, (although, to be fair, mine did come eventually).

@Dee1224 yeah I think towards Xmas they get really busy don't they as they are the perfect Xmas gift!
Seems a bit previous to be ordering now but the price is really tempting

We do love ours @hby9628 I got my oldest adult DS the Pokémon one - it’s so lovely.

I got my pink Oodie from everything5pound for £15 inc postage - it’s ‘real’ but presumably a second. They also have kids Oodies in stock. Unfortunately it can be a bit hit and miss whether you get an actual Oodie or another make, (plus the labels are partly removed). However, they do accept returns.

I got other real Oodies - again seconds with labels removed- from eBay from the True Face company, who also sell on Amazon. However, they don’t sell kids ones.

I've got a real one myself and I've got the sleep tees. They are amazing. I think I've had my oodie for 3 years and it's still going strong. I've ordered the kids one to go away 👍 they are worth the money imo.
I have now also convinced myself I want the dashaund dressing gown but unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) it's oos! I'll put it on my watch list

A similar question to PP, adult bodies are now £39 on the oodie site - is this a good price for the original?

*oodies

@Allthroughthenight23 yes it is. I've never seen the adult sizes lower priced....:when I got mine (which was 2020 so they were a premium) I paid £50!

Pictionary air star wars is currently down to £6.49 on Amazon. I've grabbed one for DS birthday (in October!!)

I popped into boots whilst passing today and they had a huge shelf with a 90% off label but completely empty 😔

@hby9628 thank you!

Hi all! I jumped on the House of Fraser bandwagon and my order has just arrived, Christmas jumpers for the kids look good and very happy with wrapping paper and crackers too! I ordered a couple of these Peppa Pig Hot Chocolate sets for Christmas gifts and they're very nice with a best before of 2025, just in case anyone was looking. Only downside is the Paddington Bear hot chocolate bombs I ordered for my nephew's birthday are completely smashed which is a real shame. Unfortunately the packaging wasn't great on those so I'm not surprised!

Exploding Minions (Exploding Kittens game) is 72% off at £5.52 at Amazon

Harry Potter advent calendar £13

@psuedocream3 do you think that game is OK if the youngest player is just turned 5? My son loves minions but not sure if it would be too grown up, does anyone know?

@OhRightyThen I don't actually have the game but the minions version is suited well for younger kids it seems by reviews. Maybe another poster will be able to advise?

@Willow4987 thank you. That advent calendar looks amazing

My six year old can play exploding minions but takes a bit of reading until they learn what all the cards do!

My kids oodie has arrived already! I only ordered it late on Monday evening.

That has to be a record @hby9628 ! Which one did you get?

@Dee1224

She's currently sat in bed wearing it so I actually haven't saved any money 🤣 she's been asking for one for months though so I caved as I ended up treating her sister to some bits when we were out last night and I try to be fair with them both.

That is a lovely one @hby9628 - glad Oodie came good!

This megablocks Paw Patrol rocky figure was £2.50 yesterday in my local Home Bargains. In the aisle with other Paw Patrol merch. Didn't think too much of this until I started looking for some of the other figures online and realise how much they usually cost! This is £11.99 on amazon currently and even on Vinted they seem to be minimum £6 second hand. Worth a look if you live near a Home Bargains. It's megablocks but compatible with duplo. We've been mixing the pieces up.
