Christmas bargain thread one - the one where it officially starts!

[Reastie]

Thanks so much to @Sideorderofchips for keeping things going. I can barely believe it's September and (for me at least!) that only means one thing - Christmas can start!!!!

Hope you've all had a great year and have missed you all. Last couple of years I've had various health things going on so have been a bit distant from the threads. Not quite there yet but feeling stronger than this time last year and I can't wait until I see more festive items in the shops! I've already bought my advent calendar - I've got the taskmaster one (which I'm quite excited about!).

I'll post various links etc in the next thread first post but essentailly you guys know the drill - share and be nice or leave.

Thank you, @LongTimeSinceLastPosted I hadn't even thought of that!

@zacsGranny looking through the details it looks as if everything is included. if you can hold fire, I'll let you know when mine turn up. I've ordered for a group of friends too.

Thank you so much for this thread - I’ve already bought the Highland Soap Co hand wash and soap, the Look Fantastic beauty box, and the mystery guide!!

@friskybivalves Thank you! That was really kind of you. I'll take a wee run into down tomorrow ♥️

My ds had Versace Blue as his first and loved it, quite fresh

Hi all! Definitely sidling on here after spending far too much on beauty advent calendars 🤦🏼‍♀️
everyone else needs bargain presents now 😁

Im looking for mega blocks like these

has anyone seen good deals about?

Amazing, thank you for posting this! Sorted my two best friends for Christmas 😊 (may have snuck a pair in for me too!)

I feel that there may be a lot of PJ’s gifted. I’ve done my cousin, my SIL and my dad’s girlfriend for PJ’s. As well as 2 jackets for my DH and my Uncle.
and I went through TopCashback, so we will see if it tracks (they generally are better at paying with a discount code than Quidco, IMO)

Any suggestions on gifts for work peeps - all women in 30/40/50s - have to buy for about 8 people ideally £10 ish - any thoughts please?? Thanks in advance 🙏

M&S perfume is down to £9.60 and it's really nice 🙂

@Slater22 the Molton brown bauble usually comes down to something like that I think? Hold on for a good deal on the beauty crackers, baubles or sometimes there’s a good candle that comes to £6-£7 on Amazon… hold your nerve!

Some of the 30ml are down to under £7 which might be good for teens trying out new fragrances?

This may sound a bit silly but can these be used as actual crackers? Looking for something a bit different to the usual tat ones

Not sure if they have the bit that makes them bang

@autumnleaves8888 Home bargains had funky pop pokemon for £3.99. I got Pikachu and Squirtle yesterday for my nephew who is obsessed with pokemon.
I also bought him a pokemon watch, both argos and amazon have it or £8. Amazon also have a pokemon football shirt that I thought was quite cool, for £13.99.
Sorry, I dont know how to do links.

They are fun rather than difficult. I am a bit sceptical of the pictures marketing them at adults - a ten year old would be able to do them if motivated.

Oohh thank you if you could link me as can’t find the baubles - thanks 🙏

My son (9) loves Adidas ice dive.

It's a nice, fresh scent.

My nephews and son also wear one million (the gold bullion-looking bottle). Its one of my favourites, buy super expensive!

If anyone is looking for a ninja slushi, costco (Thurrock) had the XL in stock today for £228 (after VAT). Glasgow had them in a few weeks ago, not sure if they still do. They only had the taupe coloured one, as far as I could see.

Have never been on these threads before but can already tell I've been missing out! Thanks @Reastie and everyone for sharing bargains.
I have a 14 year old niece...I'm not into beauty at all - the boots 17 set and benefit set both look good value. Is there one that people would particularly recommend? The boots one has more in it but wonder if I should go quality over quantity with benefit?!..

Men’s jumpers on Amazon in size large all around £6 - https://amzn.eu/d/04I3IP15

Here we go again :)

I just needed a load of nice keyrings for something but didn't want to spend much. I ordered a load of 'blanks' from Ebay, approx £7 for 10 and have just started putting pretty paper in them.

I thought that could make a cheap but fun project for children to do to make gifts for grandparents etc. You could put photos or small drawings in, a thoughtful and small present for pennies.
