Mariah will be singing All I want for Christmas before we know it, and it's only 46 days until Christmas, so let's get those bargains, folks!

https://www.sportpursuit.com/catalog/product/view/id/4652896

I cannot recommend this site enough. AMAZING deals on all kinds of sports wear- every sport & product you can think of. I can't believe I've got a Didrikson's waterproof for teen DS for £48, & one for myself in the women's section for £70. Also got Nike, Berghaus & Rab items. Ideal for outdoorsy DH & 3 outdoorsy adult/ teen boys. Super chuffed.

Only pest is you need to sign up to access the site. Use a least used email- it's worth it. Here's my purchases:

Anyone know what gat or where it could be bought - it’s an ideal gift for a tricky to buy for person - thank you

Thanks @N96 just ordered the fingerless gloves for £9 plus p&p

also ordered the personalised mitre football so thanks to whoever it was that posted that also ❤️

Is this the Celtic Company gloves? I couldn't get the code to work

Yes I’ve literally just ordered worked fine for me x

Right, code is now working, but it's chucking on £4.95 postage. How are you getting that off? Thanks!

George at Asda have launched their Black Friday pyjama offer: kid’s pyjamas £4.98 and adults £9.98
Nice designs too

Can anyone offer any advice on gaming chairs for adults? The more bargainsome the better, as 2 are required. I have no idea about what would brands might be well received or the most comfortable and durable.

I’ve also ordered two personalised footballs - thanks for the tip!

Yes! One of them is enormous!

I got some keyrings from AliExpress for my daughter's stocking and they seam decent quality. She likes collecting keyrings and hanging some on her school bag Even though she's a long way off having keys 😂
Even on there though it's difficult to find much.

This is the price I picked it up for on Prime Day! And same as 2024 so cant see it going much cheaper!

@Reastie we are on Page 38. It's the weekend again so I'll keep an eye on the thread just in case you aren't around.

@AhhhWoof I’ve bought my husband a mug and T-shirt with some of the phrases from that show from Etsy.

heres the link https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Flahki

Hobbycraft have got 50% off jigsaws with their club rewards, I know you can get a birthday voucher too but not sure if they'll stack.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys 👍 and @User202242 for the SpongeBob idea, another one on my list!

Thank you so much for the ice cream set suggestion, that’s me sorted for my niece.
I love these threads, I started using them when my DCs were tiny and now my DS1 turns 18 two days before Christmas!

Finally I have something to contribute! The RLNI have a lovely sale on. Just got...

Create your own fishing line / or motorised boat for £6, other sets available.good for a stocking filler.

There's a compass, first penknife.

Also got some 8hr emergency glow sticks for £2 good for walkers.

Lovely cups.

There's all sort of stuff, including dogs.

My husband is a gamer and prefers an office chair to a 'gaming' chair.

A bit niche...but has anyone bought any socks with their dog's face on?!

I fancy some for DD1 but they're are so many options from Shein to Etsy and I don't want to end up getting cheapy socks!

@BravoBuild I've been looking at these but with cats face on! some seem really expensive just for socks! I also could do the with option of a kids and then women/adult size as ds is a 5 but dd only a 2.5.
Also interested in suggestions...

Also @Reastie and @RainbowZebraWarrior, coincidentally, we are now just about finished the current bargain thread, so whichever of you starts the next one of these, could you please link to thread 8 as these are moving quickly now.

Thanks!

@puffalicious I was sceptical of jersey fans at first but I’ve used them a few times now. None of mine were personalised and it took exactly 2 weeks to arrive last month.
