Christmas Bargain Prequel Thread 1 - welcome 2025

[Sideorderofchips]

Evening all!

Welcome to the first prequel thread of 2025

These tend to run slower than the run up to Christmas ones but doesn't mean there are no bargains!

Happy Christmas Bargain Shopping!

Sorry it's EXTRA25 of course

Hi, the GOOUTDOORS shop in Basingstoke , (by Lidl and Dunelm), has 30% off everything due to relocation.

It’s only worth going in if you have one of their paid membership cards, (I don’t have one, so sadly came out without the things I wanted😿)

Sainsbury’s have a good offer on Homedics footbaths. £40 down to £10!

Maqio Toys have an extra 10% off all barbies and plushies with Barbie10 and Plush10, which includes a barbie colour reveal advent already marked down from £37 to £20

We've been to Hobbycraft today and they had all their remaining Christmas stock down to 50p. We got packs of Christmas fat quarters, decorations, wreath bases etc. Obviously will be store dependent, but worth a look if you've got one locally.

Out of interest, which store was this? I saw a post on Facebook re: Cribbs Causeway (Bristol) selling Christmas items for 50p.

Online too including Christmas themed jigsaws.

I had several 50p items in my Hobbycraft basket for Click and Collect, and they have all gone out of stock.

I think someone on here was inspired by the post above, had faster fingers and has bought them. 😉

My store is the Newcastle upon Tyne one.

I wouldn't normally come on to recommend with no reductions, but I have been SO impressed with Bathroom Mountain that I'd thoroughly recommend them if anyone needs bathroom items.

I added all my items to my basket & went to checkout, but the amount was more than it should have been. I was perplexed, so called them. Simple answer was that the sale had ended, but 2 items in my basket were still showing as reduced, but adding as full price at pay point. They created a special 'Buy it Now' basket via email honouring the 2 sale prices & added a £10 off for my inconvenience.

Additionally, I was able to choose a date 3 weeks from now for delivery, which means I won't have a toilet, sink & showet screen etc in my living room for weeks before the install.

Honestly, you just don't get that service. So, if anyone's looking try this website.

For anyone starting early (or for birthdays) this is a good deal...

Currently £20 in argos but out of stock near me (£35 elsewhere, rrp £45) it's £16.34.

Ameliorate skincare are doing all their products on their website for £10 or less even the supersize bottles. Some great savings

This is amazing! Thank you so much. Their transforming body lotion is my favourite, and DD uses their other products due to her excema.

(It's also free standard delivery over £25)

Has anyone seen any bargain presents under £10 for a 5 year old boy? Got a class bday party the weekend

These Scriballs have gone down well at parties mine have been to. One of the designs is £12 reduced to £5.98

@Broken12 £6.50 (it's an air pocket dart gun though)

Playmobil myLife bathroom set £9.40

Thank you @SSkullduggeryfizz

Thank you very much, @Skullduggeryfizz for mentioning the Ameliorate sale.
They do a Key Worker discount of 25%, which didn't work on my sale products (fair enough) but the 10% new customer code of NEW10 did.

I am a little concerned for a company when they discount all their products, though. It reminds me of the baking kit company mentioned on a much earlier thread which was selling even basic products at a reduced price, and not that much later it ceased trading.

I'm reminded of them whenever I use the dark brown sugar I stocked up on. :-(

Thank you, gone for this!

Anyone else's Hobbycraft bargains been cancelled? Was very chuffed with my bargain buys then got an email this morning cancelling 2 of the 4 items (had ordered multiples of each) and just had another cancelling a third. Wondering if I'll end up with any of it!

I founds some of the small St Eval candles in tins for £3.50 at TK Maxx the other day - the more Christmassy ones but also Fresh Fig which is really nice. I think full price they're at least £10-11.

It’s Boots £10 Tuesday again, with Ted Baker gift sets and perfume and Joules gift set included as before, plus some Christine Aguilera perfume.

The best buy for me, though, is the No 7 Beauty Collection , where 7 out of the 8 included products are full size, and work out at £1.25 each. This includes the Future Renew eye serum which it says is £24.95 on its own. Even the sample size of 10ml Future Renew serum is worth having as it’s normally £34.95 for 25ml. I received 30 Advantage Points with every £10 collection.

The Boots Future Renew products are my favourite skincare at the moment, so I was pleased to find this offer.

Free Click and Collect £15+, free delivery £25+.

I’ve seen on another site that Boots Christmas stock is going down to 70% off today , I’m not in town to check , but may be worth a look if you are passing one . This has been in store only last few years I think .

Just checked and they have up to 80% online but most is sold out .

Thanks @Yalz. The £10 Tuesday deals in general look particularly good this week!
