Christmas Bargain Prequel Thread 2 - less than 6 months to go

[Sideorderofchips]

Less than 6 months to go now. Last thread before @reastie I imagine

This Aquagelz castle was in my Homebargains, £4.99 which is a bargain, they had 2 different types, however just be careful as all of mine were wet inside, didn’t realise until I got home, I have checked them and one of the crystal packets in each was wet and won’t be able to be used and the instructions in one was wet through.

I had bought one for my daughter to use now so she’s had the wet instructions one and I’ve taken the unusable solution crystals out of the others, it’s still left 4 in each rather than the 5 they’re supposed to have. It was really strange how they were wet, it’s like they’ve been left out in the rain but only wet inside and one of the packets had soaked it up somehow as there’s no water/clear solution in the boxes.

They’re online as well though so might be better condition but just check them. Will be looking at another Homebargains if I can later in the week to see if they’re the same as wanted to buy some more if they’re not wet as well!

This is perfect thankyou!

Hi,

If anyone is near Grasmere, Peter and Friends has some good reductions on Peter Rabbit items.

There was a WF hoodie conversation on a previous thread re: Are they still popular?

I am currently on a tour of ‘the North’ and can confirm that lots of girls are currently wearing them in Yorkshire and in the Lakes.

I still haven’t seen any in the SE for a while, though!

For Playmobil fans there's Luna Skye who I've had some great deals from. My kid's too old now I think. Sadly!

Good advent calendar deals https://www.ls-pw.co.uk/advent-calendar-clearout

And we have this pheonix carriage which is ace https://www.ls-pw.co.uk/clearance-items/playmobil-71031-ayuma-carriage-3-set-bundle-70905-70802-clearance-bargain

I'm not up on current Playmobil site prices but I think there's some decent bundles with Luna Skye just the website is clunky. I've Facebook messaged him before when confused and he's been helpful.

Has anyone seen K pop demon hunters merch anywhere? Other than official Netflix stuff I can only see eBay etc. My girls have gone crazy for it!

Spectrum have a sale on makeup brushes which includes some nice gift sets. Postage is 4.99 though but I had a spin the wheel pop up which gave me an extra 20% off, and worked on sale so that covered the postage in my mind!

For around £26 shipped they have these plushies on Amazon Japan, not sure what your budget is though @sillygoof

@sillygoof

also various items on Amazon US

My eldest is literally obsessed too, although Golden is definitely starting to grow on me and I did find myself mindlessly singing soda pop whilst doing the dishes earlier 🫣🤣 anyway plushies for a tenner Here anime drawing book for £6 Here stickers for £3 Here if you do find anything else please do share it 🩵🩵

@MamaK19 those plushies are definitely better value than Amazon JP I posted.

Official merch also available at Netflix store

There's loads of unofficial kpop stuff on temu if you search "demon hunters"

Gin making kit £4.99

Thanks for this. By the sounds of it, it's definitely not worth full price but it's worth a punt for a fiver so I've ordered. I do a lot of preserving and soap making so the funnel and strainer will come in handy.

Thanks - I've ordered too.

I hesitated too long - out of stock already! This would have been perfect for a tricky to buy for friend...

Firstly, I didn’t know that Netflix had a shop!
I also have an obsessed 4 year old with K-pop Demon Hunter. And we had to add the songs to his disco mix, so I have been randomly singing them as well!
They have some stuff on Shien as well. The teddies seem to be a lot cheaper than Amazon. And I am going to guess there will be loads available before Xmas as it’s one of the top shows on Netflix at the moment. Zx

Obligatory reminder that it’s £10 Tuesday at boots

lots of Liz Earle at the top, I haven’t looked through it all yet…

A few Frugi tops for £5/ 3 for £12 at You know who’s

Selected 500mls chilly bottles down to £14 on Amazon
Also bottle bottle have one with a ski theme which is ideal for Christmas it's also reduced to £12.64

I'm looking for ideas for a 13 year old girl max £20. I normally order off Amazon with gift delivery and am happy to do that (or other retailers that will deliver it wrapped) but am stumped for what to get her.
She's into fashion and makeup but not jewellery.
Or ideas for what shops girls that age would like a gift card for!

@DressOrSkirt the Next beauty boxes are around that price. My daughter bought the hair box for a friend and it has all the good brands, great value for money and well presented.

Plouise have some great bargains at the moment (as mentioned by PP), the lip glosses go down well as they can clip on to school lanyards. Comes in a lovely robust pink box and postage is relatively cheap if you don’t hit free postage.

Thanks both, love these ideas! Unfortunately I need to send it straight to her and neither Next or P.Louise seen to have a gift option (I want to at least remove the price/invoice and would like to add a gift note).

Hi,

I am looking for gift ideas for the staff at my child’s nursery. I don’t know them very well, so I’d like something fairly generic. Ideally around the £4–£7 mark per person. I’d also prefer something I can buy in bulk that’s all the same type of gift, but with a bit of variation (like different flavours, colours, or scents) if that makes sense.

Any suggestions appreciated and thank you for this wonderful thread that is so helpful every year!

I normally get a box of chocolates. But maybe hand cream? They must wash teir hands a lot!
