[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!

Those mini verse are cute. My girls will love them. Thank you.

Several tonies on tkmaxx online today £9.99 each plus some sort of monster bag

If anyone has friends or family who like Monty Bojangles chocolate, or like it themselves, Sainsbury's have these 4 varieties at half price with a nectar card. The 'perfectly creamy' and 'loaded hazelnut' were dated well into 2026 too!

White Fox have a flash sale on for 4 hours. FLASH40 takes 40% off sale items. Just bought 2 t shirts and 5 sweatshirts / hoodies for £86 delivered. Will put away for Christmas 🎄

What is the sizing like for white fox?
my nearly 12 year old has requested so would be a good time to buy

Thanks, Teddy. I've never wanted to spend huge amounts on White Fox hoodies. But I got a hoody for £17.20 delivered, which I can cope with!

Thank you for the white fox sale! I’ve just got my sister’s birthday and Christmas presents sorted!

wow that white fox sale section has some fantastic bargains. Is white fox still a thing for 15yo?

@sunshineandrain82 I bought my 11 year old xs/s I'm putting it away for Christmas, it looks quite big but not massive I'd say a size 8 or age 13-14. They wear them oversized anyway.

@AgileEaglethank you

Rainbocorns Eggzania Fairy Mania Elephant Great price £16.89 for a good size toy lots of bits my daughter loves these

Mickey Mouse Squishmallow under £11 amzn.eu/d/j1KvCWF

@hby9628 - If unsure, I would ask your potential recipient(s) if WF is still ‘in’ with teens in your area as trends amongst kids vary between location and move so quickly.

Round here it was practically illegal for all girl teens/tweens not to be wearing WF 12-15 months ago, but I haven’t seen anyone wearing it for a while. By contrast, I was in Somerset a few weeks ago and it felt like every girl/young woman was decked in it head to toe!

The tees and hoodies always look so comfy - I wish they did ones minus logos, but I guess that would miss the point!

Put the optimus prime in my basket yesterday and thought I'd paid, just checked and the order didn't go through! Gone back up now, oh well!
Thank you anyway, added to my wish list so if it comes back down i shall update on here :)

@IlovePondyeah I’ve not seen my DD wear hers much recently. Further investigation reveals she thinks it’s “too boxy” I actually think it really suits her! As an aside, I’ve had a couple of T-shirts & cycling shorts from WF and they are really good quality. She does still wear them.

I think I’m going to learn from previous years and hold off buying too much too soon for my tweens. It’s ever changing!

I noticed a plain black and plain white in the sale that didn’t seem to have any logo and I thought they looked comfy!

I’ve just had an email about holister sale. Members prices are very good. Mens hoodies down to £14.98. I’m going to get one of those to stash for DD as she’s recently discovered this brand.

Thanks @InbetweenDreams - I will have a look.

Thanks for the Hollister info @hby9628 - DS2 likes their stuff.

Crayola multi activity kit down to £7.40 (63%) off on amazon.

I bought these when they were slightly more expensive and they look great, the box is huge so would make a nice filler/bigger present for kids.

@psuedocream3what a great find and goes perfectly with the Crayola colour and create tub I got from Hobbycraft earlier this year for £11.50!
That’s one of my nephews nearly done thanks to you!

Back up to £50 😭 have added to my basket though in case it goes down again
