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>

That’s helpful, thank you.

Thank you so much, it worked! 🙏

Thank you - I bought a pair for my daughter as she needed new slippers ready for winter and she is thrilled with them. She’s 9 and says they’re “very posh” ❤️

Thanks for this - my son loves to make his own posters, so think he will love this! I would never have thought of it myself.

I bought my DD(9) the Glinda and Elphaba.

Cute cat oodie £35, others available

Did anyone manage to find a discount code for Yorkshire Trading Co , I’m sure I had a 10% off future orders last time , but can’t find it now .

Really tempted by the twin tiny treasures deal (37.50 for the two larger ones) are they very heavy? My dd will be 4 next week. She absolutely loves her 'babies' but we only have cheapy chad valley ones today and a few baby born accessories although they dont fit the dolls! Need to up our game. Would they be OK do you think?

Anyone signed up to Boden check your email.

I’ve had a voucher for £25 off a £25.01 spend. Picked up a new swim towel for my son for £10 plus £3.95 P&P. Not very festive but something he needs!

Dora the explorer rainforest set £8 instead of £60

Thank you for all the Yorkshire trading co. posts, there’s lots of good bits on there! I’ve filled my present cupboard and got a few bits for my kids diy advent calendars. I thought this was a particularly good find

I think that links been used now as it's not working. if anyone else gets a referral link can you let me
know please 🙏

Bit of an odd one but our local Ikea has boxes of Reindeer head shaped dried pasta (actually Elk shaped apparently but who's going to know?). Keeping mine to serve at our annual Christmas party where I like to serve fun christmassy themed food.

I just went on to order but when o looked at the reviews of this particular set they are in B and M for £6.99 apparently. Not sure if that’s current but just fyi

It really was a top bargain @GreenShady
Now I just have to get on with presents for others rather than myself! 😊

I have just ordered the Hawkstone advent calendar for DH; it is by no means bargainous at £95 but it sold out quite quickly last year and he missed out. That's his big present sorted.

Latest in beauty have their teen boxes out today £44 plus 10% off with code TEENBUY I got these for DDs last year and they loved them.

Someone pointed out that Currys have decent prices on these - £14.99 for the Bamboo.Chrsysanthemums £16.99

My daughter has had them from about 5 and kept them until now (she’s 11). They were never too heavy for her and she loved that they felt real :)
