It's the return of the Christmas bargain thread - 1 - the one where it's the first one of the year

[Reastie]

This post is a work in process and if you have any links you’d like to share or would be good to add then please do let me know. The general consensus for the thread is to share any bargainous links, ideas and/or discount codes or information. No affiliate links (is that the right word?) And any referral links to the separate thread linked below. This is a warm, friendly, kind and cosy corner of mn filled with Christmas cookies and hot chocolate - let’s keep it that way!

If you have any referral links then please post on this thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5212180-bargain-referrals-thread-7 and share around the joy/referral perks.

I’ve no idea whether these are any good but seem remarkably cheap. Open ear headphones, were £69.99, limited time £15.99 but tick the box for an additional 10% discount.

How about the Lego technic solar system for the middle one? He's probably old enough to build Lego stuff with a bit of help and it would like great on display after.

I'd get the 1 year old a couple of lovely quality things like books of a bag for regular use. Always think it's good for a youngest child to have some things that are new of their own (I also have 3).

There are a couple of the "don't tickle the" books on Amazon at a fiver down from £12.99.

Kids camera looks like a good deal.
I did consider it for DD age 3.5 but I really don’t want the special effects and games etc it does.

Harry Potter Monopoly Deal £5.49 at Amazon. Here

The cheapest I’ve seen is £6.66 in the Argos 3 for £20. Regular Monopoly Deal is a big hit with my 7 and 5 year olds.

For space loving DS6 I’ve seen this Solar robot on the bargain pages lately reduced to £8.50 if any good

This is getting me excited! I’ve bought some bits and bobs for stockings in my local garden centre at half price.

@happytobemrsg oh or another space themed gift… we have an astronaut projector lamp like This one (loads of different ones available) which is nice to chill out to in a dark room

@Anewuser thank you I just bought it. My Ds was looking for a new watch.

For kids' cameras, we have this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07KRVSJBN

Slightly more expensive, but part of the reason I liked it was no games (it does have a few 'add bunny ears to the photo' type effects, though).

Thank you. I will have a look at that one

for any frozen fans out there. Brought this and the Elsa version for DD (3.5), the Elsa one is a couple of pounds more

This looks a great bargain. Any idea if it works without being linked to a phone? My daughter wants one that tells the time and tracks steps but not linked to a phone as she doesn’t have one.

I don’t know, except it says it has built in heart rate monitoring/oxygen/sleep etc that you can view from your wrist anytime, so that would lead me to believe it doesn’t always have to be connected.

This thread is amazing! How have I not stumbled across it before?! Just bought a few things for my DS and thanks for the discount dragon site recommendation - never heard of it before and done not only all my friends for Christmas but my sisters birthday and some house stuff for £50! It's also on blue light card too so an extra 10% off if anyone uses that.

If anyone has 2good2go in the delivery section they have craft and crumb kids baking kits at 9 for £22.99 - best before date 31/01/26-28/02/26 so may be a stocking filler or cheap little gift if you have a lot to buy for

Sylvanian families Baby Ropeway Park playset currently down to £10.99 on Amazon.

ASOS have a sale on a lot of their items today including beauty with an extra 10% off on top with code QUICK

Hi everyone, Just commenting to follow! Love the idea of this thread.

I’m in time for the first thread! I’m ready to go bargain shopping 😁

Woohoo! Glad to be back on thr main threads (though I've been enjoying the prequel threads too).

This melissa and Doug dentist sent is down to £15.99. I think it got.it for £15 last year, but this is fine. My 6 year old has loved it (her siblings 9 and 11 have too). I am buying it again for my nice who is almost 9 who loves playing with it whilst here and asked for it for her Christmas this year.

I also just bought uno flip which is very highly recommended and we often play uno here. You can get it for under £5 without the tin, but uni is a game we often take with us if we are going to be waiting somewhere and our original set is all dog eared so I have splashed out and spent £6.99 on this set with a tin.

A reminder too that many employers have an employee benefit scheme which includes discounted vouchers for shops. Mine currently has 7% off argos vouchers. It soon adds up.

Oooh thanks, there’s some good deals on here. Does anyone know what 12-17 years old girls are into?? Last year I got Laneige and Rio de Janeiro bits for my nieces, has anything changed?

Still very popular plus Summer Friday in teen DD’s circles.

Bohomoon has a £10 jewellery sale and free delivery over £30. Naturally I had to buy three things for myself just to test this…

We also take Uno out and about… if you’ve got other sets without a lovely tin, we’ve got these
