Christmas bargain prequel thread 3 - one with all the lush minecraft

[Sideorderofchips]

Not long till reastie takes over!

Reminder from previous thread, lush has launched its Minecraft bath bombs and shower bombs. Use the app to get free delivery and £3 off!

Feel like I'm looking for the impossible but reaching out to you all just in case you've got any tips!

Trying to find this anywhere in stock that isn't a crazy ebay price and more like £10 or under.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve been here since Robert times too. Mainly a lurker, pop on to comment occasionally.
These threads have brought the whole family
some amazing presents - I’m so grateful to you all!

zavvi have a lego sale on. Only checked a couple of prices but they seemed genuine reductions.

@PumpkinSpicedTea I’ve looked and can only find the eBay one.

If you have no luck with a bargain, this is the manufacturer Golden Bear Toys, they’re a small firm, maybe they can help.

Thanks so much for taking the time time to look. No harm contacting them!

Cult beauty have 20% off everything or 25% off over £100. Has brands such as Sol de and byoma which I know are popular with the pre/teens

I know there’s a few looking for Minecraft goodies there’s some lovely Tees and jumpers for £5.90 on Uniqlo

@PumpkinSpicedTea just looked and there are some on Vinted

This is that one, there are some brand new ones too but not that exact one I don't think.

@PumpkinSpicedTea my niece collects these from Claire’s they are also teacup dogs and are much cheaper!

I got my heritage of Scotland order around 5 days after delivering. It had all my Christmas bits inside!

Oh thank you! I searched Vinted but maybe need to change the wording as nothing came up!

Thank you! This looks like a good alternative.

Thinking about the age of these threads, I remember buying some heavily discounted ELC stuff for DD and posting about it on here. Must have been 2014? Wow! Time does indeed fly.

I’ve been here since the beginning I think! Luckily Robert(s) are a distant memory due to a house move. But the arguement about the cow cookie jar was a particular highlight. That year everyone in my family opened a woolover jumper. Those hampers that we had to get the money back for. Various glitches, including loads of socks just last year! Trying to get LOL surprise bath bomb sets for a now teenager or hatchimal for someone who’s list only now contains skincare is disheartening. Getting a gift from the mumsnet secret Santa (when that was a thing!) after a knobber of a year was lovely ☺️

Here’s to a happy 10th year!

Robert! I too am a long time name changing year round addict to these threads. I have a couple of ‘empty’ boxes up high that I throw things in as they arrive. Near to Xmas I lift them down and see if I have enough for everyone. There are always lots of lovely bargainous surprises.

Is it only 10 years? I'm sure you were here foe my DD's first Christmas in 2013. (I also thought I had missed the first year).

Either way it's a long time and I love these threads. (I constantly name change after that data release many years ago where usernames and emails were leaked). Thanks everyone for all the bargains and chat.

The Woolover jumpers were the BEST bargain. I gave my dad two, and I reckon he still wears them!

Ooh, who remembers the thread where a poster said if you PM me I will tell you what I know from your anonymous posts? People were scared by how much they were giving away by having the same username for eons.

Yeah - my DD is also now 13. It's crazy when I think of all of the things I've got from the thread for her Christmas presents over the years :)

We might well have been tbf. I just know it's 10 years or over as my thread baby is 9 and I was thinking about it

Even scarier then!

Yes, I member baby chips too. It's mad how this thread has informed to much of my shopping over the last 10 years (or more 😉). I've been into bargain hunting my whole grown up life, but I've learned (and shared) a fair few tips here.

Here's to the next 10 years! 🍸

Just a word of warning about zavvi - I ordered Lego for my ds last from them last year and it didn’t arrive…..I had to cancel the order and order elsewhere at a higher price.
i think you’d be ok ordering now as it’s ages until Christmas but if you want it sooner or order nearer to Christmas then beware!

My thread baby is turning 11 soon 😱
Can't quite believe it!
We all still have our bargain personalised blankets from Lands End.

Can anyone remember how much they paid for the lock picking kits last year?

Yes. Always Google the Lego set, as there's usually at least one other place selling at a similar price.
