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 🎄🎅🎉

Thank you so much for this. I've largely ignored it for the past two years, but now DD has started enjoying hot chocolates, so that's a great price for a special Easter present for her.

@Yalz @RainbowZebraWarrior If you sign up for free to be a vipme member, using the code it's actually £59.46 delivered if that helps.

Going to keep checking the heated blankets at M&S but their stock control is shocking and simultaneously showing 8 available yet none in stock at checkout :(

That better than the email said. Thank you!

I think it’s just the basic Velvitiser and 2 cups for £59.46.

The price I gave includes hot chocolate: at full price that’s another £13:50 or £14:50, but £8:50 with the discounts. This gives (almost) a total of £67:95.

These are both using the VIP discount and the EASTEREGG24 code.

Is that just on the app?

@TheSeasonalNameChange Oh sorry I was on the app, I didn't realise it was exclusive to it!

@tabbycat985 explains why I couldn't make it work!

https://www.marksandspencer.com/fashion-designer-art-set-8-yrs-/p/hbp22532455?intid=mobile_app_pdp_share Fao swartz Fashion designer now £8 was £26. We bought this for our 7yr old granddaughter at Christmas and it's fab! A bit like the old fashion wheel, but plates in a lovely wooden storage box, comes with paper etc. She's had so much fun with this and kept selling out at Christmas

Thank you @FountainofTruth for mentioning the M&S fashion designer set.

I’ve found 30 toys in the M&S sale at good prices, including digital drumsticks and a piano mat, both reduced from £18 to £6.

Sorry, I don’t know how to link from an app.

Clothes and homeware seem to be recently further reduced, too, judging by the number of things it appears to say are in stock until you click on them.

Here’s a link to some toys in the M&S sale.

There’s a remote control triceratops, also £6 from £18, but the review says it takes 5 AAA batteries so probably only a good buy if you already have rechargeable ones.

There are a couple of laser tag games, both at about 1/3 of the original price.

Silver Rain Silver have 15%off for new customers with WELCOME24 plus buy 3 get one free with code SRMAR24.

M&S online has White Stuff socks on offer at 2 pairs for £10 instead of £6.50 each. Same offer also on the White Stuff website

Hi, Aromatherapy Associates have a Spring sale on, plus you get a free 9ml sleep oil with any purchase atm.

I am a bit peeved by the delivery charge on orders under £60, but apart from that, there are some good bargains.

@FountainofTruth Thank you so much! I had a very similar toy in childhood. My sisters and I spent hours and hours creating fashions. I was gutted when I found out Mum got rid of it in a clearcut, Ordered one today for myself definitely DD today.

@psuedocream3 Thanks so much. I did contact customer services and they were really good, and so helpful. They have refunded the postage costs and a discount on a future order. Can't praise them enough! Thanks again

@Sallylovesdaisy You're welcome, they are really good and it never hurts to ask, they can only say no at worst.

@FountainofTruth @Yalz for the M&S toys link, my kids love a science kit. Bit annoyed that free delivery is so high these days but thinking logically I should pick up from store as my husband wont be impressed with another delivery!

The Fureal Pony is back down to £30, such a great price!

Also ordered looks amazing! I used to love my cousins fashion wheel!

I've just ordered the fashion designer set as well, loved this as a kid. Got a few other pieces and could order for collection which saves delivery charge

Valentte have sent me an email today - their gift bags are on offer. They were very popular at Christmas.

As someone who bought one of these for about £25 on an Amazon deal for Christmas just passed, I can confirm they are pretty shite, and no one in their right mind would ever pay £100 for it if they are still claiming that's what it's been reduced from.

Happy Saint Patrick's day everyone☘️

George Asda have a box of 5 career Barbies for £25 here which seems like a good price!

@WillYouPutYourCoatOn Oh no that's a shame, my 3yo is obsessed with hers! I totally agree £100 is ridiculous but I'd happily pay another £30 if it broke, just to keep the peace😂

Same.. they don't do a huge amount. Not a bad gift for £25, but definitely not £100 worth!

I've bought this balance bike for my nearly 3 year old, there's currently another 7% off for St Patrick's, or 10% Blue Light Card. What takes it from a good deal to a great one is it also includes the pedal kit to turn it into a normal bike (usually another £65) for free! So balance bike and pedal bike in one for just over £150 if you have BLC.

Edit to add, it's not just pink, they have blue, green or orange too
