Christmas bargain prequel 4 - the most we have ever had!

[Sideorderofchips]

Wow we are filling these threads!

Thread 4 so we don't lose track

I think I’m going for the standard one , we normally use everything in it eventually, and pass on the couple of bits that really aren’t for us . They haven’t offered a discount on the international one either . I could be swayed though if the contents get revealed any time soon .

@JumpOrBePushed3 at least one of the L’Occitane a/cs was reduced last year. I think it was M&S that kept giving 20% off the £69 version, but maybe also Boots.

I think M&S reduced it in their 20% off certain beauty products this year as well, but that promotion has finished atm.

Thanks @IlovePond I've been looking at previous reviews and lots of people commenting that you only get shower gels and soaps. I'm so torn between this, the Macmillan one on offer at boots ATM (albeit it has a lot of products I have used before) and the degusta one which is beautifully unpredictable!! I've only purchased the degusta one once and got some great choccie bits and some pasta, and then a box of salt and some gravy juice 🤣🤣 I'm still tempted because the mystery is so appealing and the laughs when you open it

I know what you mean @JumpOrBePushed3 - I like L’Occitane and almost bought their set of four crackers the other day as LF had 20% off them, but all contained a hand cream and I have loads of it already. They would make great presents, though.

Have been tempted by the Dégusta one myself!

I had the degusta last year, I had it displayed next to my vogue advent calendar and everyone commented on the degusta. I gave away some bits but overall we enjoyed it. Although one product was damaged (no wrapper) I did email them but they never responded, I wouldn't become a subscriber due to the lack of customer service but I could be tempted to get the calendar as the kids enjoyed it. They did release the contents last year bit no idea when that was or if they will this year. I do need to see the contents before I buy. I've absolutely no clue what the international one is, I thought it perhaps meant international shipping!

These look amazing. Were there many left? If they don't have them in my local tk maxx would you be willing to post me a set please? Happy to cover all costs (obviously!)

Look fantastic have 20% off some of their sol de janeiro gift sets, £30 down to £24.

That's a really good Boots deal on the Macmillan advent calendar. £44 down front £90 plus if you spend £60 you get £10 worth of points.

Random but smiffys have got piñatas reduced to £3.99

We got the (hideous!) iridescent unicorn one for DD’s birthday this year and it went down a storm, can thoroughly recommend!

@ClaraLane what sort of stuff is in the piñatas?

Actually is that a daft question...do they need filling?

yeah you usually put sweets in them yourself :) bits of paper etc also work but defo advise considering the cleanup!!

@Babynumberthreeee not the exact ones but there are some sets online. Search magformers - TK Maxx UK that look great.

Argos have got a pretty good toy sale on, includes paw patrol, lego, hot wheels, bluey and lots more. Plus, there's 5x nectar points on selected toys.

That is so frustrating, I ordered on the 25th and I haven't had a single reply to my emails! I've gone on twitter, I can't find any numbers that work... Not giving up though!

This thread prompted me to start looking for advent calendars. In my search I came across this games bundle at Toy Dip. £25 for 6 games which I thought was a great deal. Some are just cards and I don't know how good the games are but it includes Exploding Minions which I know was mentioned earlier and also a Harry Potter game.

Also found a Matchbox cars advent calendar on Toy Dip for £14.99. There are two to choose from but one has a code - CLEAR20 - which takes it down to £12.

Thanks for this, I've just bought for my friend. If anyone's buying check your advantage card offers to load. I had one for double points if I spent £30.

Anyone had any updates from Clarins?

Money was taken from my PayPal on 9th, but I've had no dispatch confirmation, no cancellation and no notification of any packages en route from any of the couriers.
Currently hoping that someone knocks on the door with a package <hopeful face>

Not loads of colours available but 20% off of Stanley’s on Notino

I’m hoping the same!

Clarins outcome is the same for me. I would have expected if they were going to cancel it would have been done by now

The Clarins order confirmation said orders are normally dispatched in 5-7 days so we probably won't get anything until the end of the week.

Argos toy sale now on, includes a code for 25% off specific Squishmallows SQUISH25
