It's January and happy new year!

We have reusable foil bags for larger presents. Originally purchased from Amazon. They are great. Still going strong after 5 years and a huge timesaver.

(And the small and medium paper sweet bags for stocking fillers)

Anyone looking for cheap wrapping paper, my Sainsbury’s (Camberley Watchmoor Park) has got STACKS next to the the Argos. Lots of both kids and adult types 😊

Not seen any bargains but have got 2 bum cases, an anchor necklace and earrings from Lisa Angel.

It gets better! Bum cases 😂

@Cuwins bum vases not cases! Autocorrect! 🤣

I figured but I was amused by the auto correct to bum bases earlier in the thread- cases is even better!

Did anyone have any problems with the Boots mirrors which were on the £10 Tuesday deal back in August/September? I’ve just given the one I bought to DD for her birthday today but the lights don’t seem to work! We’ve tried with it plugged in and also after time to charge and still not working. Just wondered if it was a one off or not…

I need a Nerf gun from Smyths that's only available in a few stores. Lots in Lreland, put I'm presuming the postage will be awful?

Is anyone in these places that might be able to get it for me and post it?

Bangor, Barrow-in-Furness, Clydebank, Inverness, Leeds Birstall?

Happy new year and thanks for the thread! Goalie gloves for £4 admittedly I know nothing on this subject…

Start Rite have a really good sale. Just got some lovely canvas shoes for my nieces bday, 50% off

@badgerface I had to return my mirror for the same reason

Thanks @Glassbottom, will see if we can return for another one. Guess I should have checked in September… 😬

DTwins have just been invited to a triple 4th birthday party. (3 girls in their class having a party together.)

If anyone has any ideas of three bargainous presents, it would be greatly appreciated. Well, actually I guess one bargainous present, that I can buy 3 of - I don't know any of the girls enough to tailor their gifts, and only have one mother's details on the invite to respond too/ask, so will get them all the same thing.

What about these https://amzn.eu/d/59q0djE

Can't go wrong with jewellery kits

My bum vase arrived and it is bum-tastic! DH has become very fond of it 😅

Hi all, I am straight into birthday shopping. Looking to get DS his first phone. I am right in thinking backmarket has been recommended here before?

@WillYouPutYourCoatOn The Works have tons of stuff for that age group in the sale ATM. If nothing else, there is the 10 for £10 books offer, and the 3 for £12 (I think it's £12, not £15?) offer on games/crafts etc.

Hello!
Just having a nosey on the asda kids clothing sale. Does anyone know if this is a football team or if its a made up badge? I'd prefer it not to be a team!
Thank you!

That's just a generic football top, so you should be OK (though I do think they have made it look slightly like the Barcelona FC emblem)

Seasalt have some nice socks in the sale, both online and in their shops. I got some for me, and one for DH as a small birthday extra (he does appreciate nice socks 😄).

Thank you for this!! :) I don't follow football at all so had no idea if it was a team or not. Thanks again!

I’m keeping one for me and the other is going to a friend as an extra little birthday gift (hers is next week).

Just been to Tesco and I'm assuming it's location dependent but mine had lots of Reece's bits reduced- some Christmas packaging but some not, none in date for next year but I got some for my partners birthday. They also had loads Christmas baking kits, sprinkles and cupcake cases. And a little random but half price Christmas dog toys so brought one for next year- after all dog isn't going to care!

Also got my daughter (nearly 2) a xmas top for next year and a plain red top with xmas labelling for £1.50 each. Plus a penguin jumper that I don't think is really Christmassy (although was with the xmas jumpers) for £4 down from £14.

Reminder that it's a good time to look in charity shops too. I brought a bolt together car for £4 yesterday, battered box but perfect inside and currently on Amazon for £30 new! Saving it for DD stocking!
