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.

<waves to everyone>

One for the 80s baby's- Rainbow Brite is £2.99 she's a really good size too!

For anyone who lives near Garsons in Esher they’ve got quite a few bits 75% off great for presents.

Can I just say how much I love this thread!? I love Autumn and Winter so much, and Christmas is just the culmination of that. I also love how much less negative and toxic this space is than most of the rest of this site (especially AIBU!) I have taken notes of a lot of these amazing bargains.

@Sunnybeachday
@Restlessinthenorth is right, this is a perfect gift for that age group.
the Dior perfect lip balm is also a good call.

I love these threads thanks to all involved! Think this is the earliest I've been on here but already got a few bargains!

Sainsburys has the half price cadburys from tomorrow, so the chocolate pouches are 98p great for stocking up for Christmas, they have other bits too cheaper such as the milk tray and finger biscuits.

Anything KPop themed that looks the part without breaking the bank?

thanks for all the ideas. I bet Amazon have had a run on the Guinness Football book.

these Babyliss straighteners reduced to less than £30 from £90 (both colours)

Someone posted this, possibly on the prequel thread. They’re the erasable ink ones like Legami. Small-ish present but right up my DD’s street, so a good find I thought!

and if anybody wants to frustrate loved ones/themselves, £6 for this Wooden ferris wheel kit which is apparently a fiddly build

Thankyou so much for this link - I have bought for crafty adult DSD. I really want that Ottolenghi book for myself too so may add it to my list for DH.
Thanks everyone for the itchy dog advice too 😊

I’ve got them in Card Factory before

Can anyone help please? I assume there is no way to save on the Sephora advent calendar? Have tried app discount but it doesn’t work. I’d love to buy it for 24 year old dd but it really is a crazy amount to spend.
Or tell me it’s rubbish and I shouldn’t waste my money 🤣

Thanks for this - they are ideal stocking fillers 😊

Thank you for the Football book. Ordered for my footy obsessed DD

I've just ordered the Ferris wheel - thanks.

Home Bargains had a little boxed fairy garden set called Dahlia Hideout by my enchanted garden for £1.99 , which looked like a cute little stocking filler. RRP £9.99

Can’t remember who was asking about Winnie The Pooh but I was in Selfridges today and they have lovely soft plushies in gold of all the characters for the anniversary year. Very much NOT bargainous tho.

The reason I was there was to sniff perfumes. Got my heart set on a Penhaligon’s one as well as Le Labo maybe. Does anyone know if somewhere like Selfridges or Liberty is likely to do a Black Friday or other event with discounts INCLUDING on fragrance? Always seems to be excluding fragrance and beauty.

Bluey wooden tea set I posted yesterday now has an extra £2 off it and fee delivery

Love this! Thank you

@Moonnstarz I accidentally bought an e-gift-card last year for the PlayStation store. Managed to get a fried with a 3D printer to create a ‘gift card’ with the code printed into it, which could be an option if you can’t find a physical card anywhere?

brilliant thread. I’ll keep my eyes peeled. I’ll also be adding anything I see x

Can’t remember who asked sorry but my Lands End Lulu Guinness pyjamas arrived today and I don’t think they’re thick, they’re lovely cotton! Thanks to op.
