Christmas Bargain Prequel Thread 2 -summer holidays loom

[Sideorderofchips]

Onto our second thread with less than 6 months to go!

River Island has a good sale

Whistlefish still doing 10 for £12 but also this weekend are doing a cute birthday gift box when you spend over £20.
Thanks to the poster who linked to Yorkshire Trading Company with that fantastic science kit. Brilliant size for the price and lots of other great bargains on that site, got some heavily reduced Christmas bath bombs.

turtle doves have a lot of half price fingerless gloves along with other bits in the sale, and code TD2025 gets an extra 20% off, so gloves are down to £16 if you combine the two.

I know people don't like the quality recently but the last batch I had for gifts were fine and all a sensible size, so thought it was worth posting

Hallmark have a sale of Christmas stuff on, tree decorations, cards, pop up cards and a lot of themed things such as Harry Potter, Snoopy, Nightmare Before Christmas, Winnie The Pooh as well

My local Tesco had Kitchen Aid kitchen utensils like measuring spoons and tongs for £2.50.

Thanks so much for this, just got 2 Owala bottles for the same price as 1 on Amazon.

Amazon have a wax lyrical reed defuser, christmas scent for £1.93 each. ( no idea how do do links sorry!)

Great find!

Fantastic thank you. These will make amazing TA presents for xmas.

John Lewis sale has some great bargains

Celtic & Co gloves and wrist warmers significantly reduced. Wrist warmers - blue ones are £14.40 down from £36. Red ones are £18.

And fingerless gloves in red £18 or taupe £14.50, down from £36

Could I ask which Boots beauty box was recommended? I’ve just had a quick search and there are quite a few on offer.

I bought the boots cosmopolitan one I think it was

Thank you! There’s so many to choose from, all with great discounts.

Code MSE10 takes £10 off the Cosmo box, reduces it to £45

And it really is a fantastic value box! I got mine yesterday and despite knowing exactly what was in it when I ordered I was still knocked back by how much was in there when I opened it.

Thanks for this - set of 6 only £7.22 today!

Oh wow, even better. I should have waited!

This is apparently new, and on offer if you have a nectar card. I thought it might make a good stocking filler or could be included in a uni care package?

My local shop only seems to stock one flavour but the images on the website show a range of 3.

I’ve just had a closer look and the other flavours in the picture are aero. I didn’t have my glasses on so I assumed they were the orange quality street etc, but they’re not. So the green triangle is the only quality street one (but hot chocolate/mocha sachets could be Christmassy anyway).

Thanks for this thread. With the heatwave having just about polished me off I am in full christmas mode already.

Thank you to @yehyehyeh for mentioning the John Lewis sale.

If you search for gloves there are other great bargains (70% off), perhaps good for stocking fillers, including children’s (there are some dinosaur flip top ones for £3) and women.

I always filter by “in stock” and sort by “discount % high to low”. I haven’t worked out how to automatically exclude the ones which are posted directly from store - you can buy only one of these items at a time, and you pay £4:50 postage, which often stops it being a bargain.

Free delivery over £50 and free returns.

Anyone that has bought the GALT science kit would it be okay for my 6 year old in November?

I'm giving one to a six year old, he'll need supervision but will love it. Xx

Fab I think she will love it too ✨

Also looking for any recommendations (and of course bargains) for a baby doll this will be for my youngest and I don’t mind spending a bit more to get an all singing all dancing one as it will be a main birthday present ETA youngest DD will be 2 on her next birthday
