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!

I think it was around £30 ish. Worth every penny!

Just seen this Bakugan set in the entertainer on sale for £6

The only annoying thing about these threads is the last few pages being filled with one liners from Christmas songs. And there is inevitably a couple of posts lost in all that...

I only found out about the Lush Minecraft stuff due to these threads - but it's all selling out online and apparently the gift boxes sold out in two days and never even made it to the stores (according to staff I asked yesterday.) Bit disappointing they can't keep up with demand, and it's the only thing that got me back in their horrid stores after 15+ years...

I've used it, though only for Tesco and M&S so far.

Read very carefully whether the card can be used online. Tesco gift cards can only be used in store, for example.
Money off your gift card is not instant. It works like cash back. And you must build up the balance to at least £10 to put it back into your bank account, though the amount itself does not need to be a neat round figure eg. £12.11 is fine.
Trying to double up on going through a cash back link and using your gift card likely won't work. EG. Quidco usually doesn't let you claim cash back if you paid with a gift card.

I made an order with Lush, and managed to order what I wanted, was SO excited! And then Evri managed to lose my order. Messaged, phoned and tried to chat with Lush....5 days later they responded. Surprise surprise they're now out of stock! If Lush had replied in a reasonable amount of time I stood a chance of getting replacements sent out to me. Seething doesn't cover it 🤬🤬.

DH is finally getting on board. He has just told me he has a £5 off a £50 spend at Argos. It expires at midnight tomorrow 29th though. I've told him off for not sharing earlier!! Please PM if anyone wants it.

I received incorrect order and they took six days to eventually reply to me, very slow service. I tried emailing and the messages on the app. They sent me the correct item and told me to keep the original incorrect item.

Boba Tea Gift Set - makes 8 boba teas in two different flavours, also including straws, cups and cute face stickers to put on them in a lovely gift box. I checked the photo reviews and they are a decent size and presented really well.
£10.99 (45% off) at Amazon

Can you take photos on this or just print? Do you need a phone/internet access? Thank you.

Several deals on lego Minecraft on amazon atm

I can't remember exactly how long I've been on, but I was here for Robert.

Biggest bargain was possibly the Scliech (not sure on spelling- I mean the expensive plastic animals) horse riding stable, horses, vet van etc etc that was worth a couple of hundred for £20. One of those rare times that my local Argos had the clearance item I wanted in stock.

Thank you so much to Restie, Side order and all those that post. We're okay now but our finances were really grim a few years back and this thread made a tangible difference to our family at what has always been one of my favourite times of year. As others have said, the anticipation of the magic and all the nostalgia are so heartwarming.

My daughter has a similar one and it takes photos which you can print, save or edit to have fun borders or cartoons.
My daughter’s was from Amazon and not a branded one like this. It broke after a few months and the picture quality was quite poor but she absolutely loved it. Considering replacing it with this if people recommend it being a bit longer lasting and better quality.

I'm very tempted by the boba tea set from Amazon. Have 2 X friend's DC to buy for and they love it. I don't know much about it at all, are there other brands that have discounts in the run up to Christmas or is this a good value deal I should get?

I second the Topcashback reminder from @crisis1000 I try to remember to order my online purchases through TCB and was just able to get a Clarks voucher making my school shoes purchase half price this month as a result of my earnings. Result!

@Wholetthedogsoutwhowhowho I'm glad you got somewhere with them, and you got the correct item in the end. I'm still waiting for a reply to my response yesterday. Absolutely shocking customer service

The works and hobby craft have a good sale on! I have ordered some stationary , sticker books and Crayola art sets as smaller Christmas gifts! X

Thanks to whoever recommended the bargain max games. I got exploding minions, bears vs babies, back to the future board game and a couple of others for £21 delivered

You can take photos and print in black and white and also save the photos onto a memory card to print elsewhere in colour :)

Thanks to whoever mentioned the 2 for £20 argos lego, 2 £18 sets stashed in the wardrobe! Will figure out which is for which son nearer the time

Here here 👏👏👏

Some nice things on sale at Dust and Things. Can personalise items. I've ordered a few times from them before and never been disappointed.

Thank you to the PP that mentioned the Exploding Minions game...... that's a stocking present for DD1 sorted!

Read My Mind family game is £4.70 instead of £19.99 (lightening deal on Amazon)

Any hot wheels fans- I think this is a decent price

I need a birthday present for an 11 year old girl at the weekend and struggling to know where to start... Let alone a bargain. Any ideas please? ☺️
