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

[Reastie]

just ordered 2 men’s fleece half zip tops for £16 then added some socks to get it over £20 for free click & collect

If they haven't got them, the Tomy hide and squeak eggs are usually my go to for kids close to 1.

It’s a thread classic so you may have already done - but for the elder 2 and maybe the 9yo to be inclusive I’ve seen a travel cup with a voucher for local coffee place inside is popular

depending on your budget there will be cups in sales before Xmas for a few pounds, or this Contigo Byron is on sale for £9 if you were in the mood for something fancier

@zacsGranny or for the reader and gamer, Online Home Shop has lots of cuddle cushions for about £9 eg Cuddle cushion - assuming there is room in the house for massive cushions 😬

@MaybeMrs
John Lewis wooden building blocks were a big hit with my dc.
I tend to give as gifts, too.

Do you know any authors or books she has enjoyed recently? That might give us some pointers. I definitely appreciated a hamper of treats (nice biscuits etc) to take back to university.

Thanks @Reastie, looking forward to many more bargains. Thanks @Sideorderofchips for the bargains I’ve had already.

Just saw these on Amazon, maybe ok for teen/adult stocking? I clicked the £3 voucher and put in the code GDH5RCFD so they went through just over £4.

First ever post! I have been a long time lurker on MN generally (since my DS wS born and now he’s 4!) and have picked up so much of value from the women on this site as a first time mum feeling very much out of her depth with a newborn (and often still now ha). Anyway, I found this thread last year and it was so joyous and warm and friendly. And helped me pick up some great bargains. I saw it return and wanted to say hello. I will do my best to return the favour and share some bargains too, this year!

I feel like Duplo has more longevity just because of the number of different sets.
DD is now 3.5 but she was about 10m her first Christmas. What I really appreciated was people who asked me for ideas because I wanted to make sure she had a variety of different toys to last us over the whole year as her birthday was so early in the year.

Happy Salmon is a funny game all the family can play. It’s £6.50 on Amazon, almost half price

I CAN ONLY GET £3 OFF. making them £11.99

Thanks for this tip, DD1 had just got interested in Lego flowers so this looks like a great stocking filler!!

I'd say go for it. John Lewis is also honouring that discount this weekend too. (There is also a free gift if you spend over £40)

Thank you, ordered some cushions at a bargain price.

They seem. To be £11 now, or am I looking at the wrong ones?

It’s still showing at £6.29 for me.

Thank you, just bought them.

@MaybeMrs We went straight to duplo with ours and they still use it now at 6 and 3! The lego however has not been a hit with either 🤔

Hello!
These transformers battlers on Amazon have come down even further in price compared to when I bought them the other week. Bargain!

Elizabeth Arden visible difference moisture cream is down to £10 on Amazon. It’s my failsafe MIL Christmas present and hope it helps someone else out.
