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.

Claires have a sale instore and buy 3 get 3 free. And if you are signed up to the claires club you will get points back too. There is some sale stuff on the website and they are on topcashback too. Might be a voucher for 1st purchase 😊

Here's a link to clearance which currently has an extra 15% off.

@BadgerFace mine only works plugged in so I assumed that maybe it doesn’t charge up and will only work like this

Any Star Wars fans, the entertainer in store had Lola for £17.99. This originally was £90 ish when it first came out (as i nearly bought one).

TulipVictory · 06/01/2024 12:30

@WillYouPutYourCoatOn what about these?

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?

Yes backmarket are very reliable. Easy returns if you have any issues (I havent)

woodwaj · 06/01/2024 12:41

Thank you @Outforlunchallday much appreciated

Home bargains had the long tubes of party rings reduced to 99p, 3packs inside.

Farmfoods have dreamies stocking with 6 packs inside for 99p. I always stock up on cat treats this way after xmas.

Not gifts as such but bargainious still.

Justhereforthechristmasthreads · 06/01/2024 14:26

They don't show on the website so guessing it is store dependant but Dunelm had the adult Harry Potter oversize hoodies in today at 8.75 each (only Slytherin and Hufflepuff in ours) but bargain considering I paid £35 for ours . I may have added two more to the collection

Hello you lovely lot, my favourite thread of the year, thanks Chips!

I've just been to Tesco & they had large Polly Pockets reduced to £12.50, not a huge saving compared to Amazon still a good saving on RRP.
Also these Minecraft mugs are only £1.99 in Home Bargains, spot the original £10 tag😱

I don't think I've had a single Christmas leftovers bargain this year, normally I've picked up my gift bags & maybe a new decoration but the shops round me are bare!

Hi everyone, has anyone seen any good deals on artificial Christmas trees around? Thought now might be a good time to get one in a sale as we’ve been meaning to replace our very slim tree which was perfect for a tiny cottage but since we moved and have a bit more space we could probably go bigger now.
Thanks for any suggestions :-)

WillYouPutYourCoatOn · 06/01/2024 19:29

Thanks all, some great suggestions x

Does anyone have a discount code for Office (shoes) please? Thanks!

I know it’s not really for serious learners but this battery operated Kids sewing machine is down to £9.39

I have this same machine (age 38 Grin) and its actually very good for learning. Just does a basic stitch but I bought some fat squares to teach myself and have actually used it to fix some things including a big coverless duvet. Would recommend for someone thinking of learning but not wanting to commit to spending a lot on a bigger machine.

Sainsburys had a lot of reduced items today , the odd shaped boxes of crackers down to £1 , wrapping paper which also suits birthdays in some of the designs for 25p , a lot of Christmas sweets and crisps were reduced lower than the shelf reductions , eg big bags of Reece’s down from £4.50 to £1.26 , same with the bags of quality street with one flavour , large bags of crisps down to 48p . Just scanned the things I fancied and lots came up cheaper than the shelf price if Christmas stock .

BlinkAndYouWillMissIt · 07/01/2024 19:45
