🎄 Emoji to copy if required for posting bargains as some agree this makes deals easier to spot. (or post in bold)

I was going to say the same I picked up a lot of good deals from F&M at Bicester.. the staff are lovely said they are a branch not an outlet but it was their shopping stars weekend and some fab deals .. biscuits for half price etc and some for a fiver! Its shopping stars weekend again this weekend for anyone close enough

My husband just saw a GIANT teddy cat in Costco that was apparently amazing

A friend gave me this little set as a token present last year. I really liked having it in the downstairs loo when visitors went in.

On a hunt for real sheepskin mittens (kids and adults) if anyone spotted.

We got Posca pens, Lego, Colombia fleeces and some books in there last week. The hampers looked good for adults but we didn't have any to buy for so didn't look too closely!

Yes please PM. Thank you so much ☺️

I've bought one of these in yellow. They have lots of colours, but no real designs. There may be similar ones available that are prettier.

Royal Walking umbrellas are quite good too, again they are plain, but lots of different colours.

might be worth keeping an eye on - Still not cheap sadly. No idea if they’re the ‘right’ style etc

@zacsGranny looks like just a missing "S" at the end of url

Sorry, it's the Repel Windproof umbrella - https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Repel+Umbrella/page/D1179EFA-17D9-486A-B67A-5232115A75CD?lp_asin=B0160HYB8S&ref_=ast_bln&store_ref=bl_ast_dp_brandlogo_sto&bl_grd_status=override

And Royal Walk ones are good too - https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/RoyalWalkUmbrellas/page/F014537E-E38E-4C13-88B8-B65471BAB793?lp_asin=B095KNW8WZ&ref_=ast_bln&store_ref=bl_ast_dp_brandlogo_sto

@keepincool thank you. Will have a look and read reviews.

I bought 4 of those when they were highlighted on here last week
They are lovely stocking fillers

Thanks for that one! I’ve ordered, got the voucher so £4.25 but as I’m not a Prime customer (I try to use Amazon as a last resort) it also gave me free Prime for 30 days so that’s a bonus 🙂

Sadly we're out of the wooden railway stage now but ds1 was very into it and we had all the brio, bigjigs, ikea stuff. Totally agree with pps that lots of connectors help with track creativity. One thing we bought which doesn't seem like much but was absolutely brilliant was a 3d printed flexible bend. I bought from this etsy shop but I'm guessing anyone with a 3d printer could make it https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1688589162/flexible-track-for-wooden-train-track

Does anyone know if / when Amazon Haul will do Black Friday discount and how much?

Last year, Haul had just launched, so the discounts were huge (like 60 / 70% off)

A few weeks ago, when Prime Day was on, there was a 30% off across Haul. I'd guess they will do something similar again around BF. I check most days as there's often a spin wheel promo on. (I mostly buy packaging bits and stickers / labels for craft fairs)

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but the What Not app has an official channel for Made by Mitchell makeup my daughter got a full starter kit yesterday with 10 items for £17 and I’ve had a full set of brushes for £15 so really good for stocking fillers for teenagers. Depending on the time of day they do free delivery sometimes too!

FREEWKND gives free shipping at Lloyds pharmacy this weekend.

Normal stuff but Christmas bits too. If you had your eye on something it might help.

Not looked for specific bargains but got an email - lots of Christmas sets and some stocking fillers like three face masks in a pack for £3.20 etc.

Cant sort by low to high so got fed up - but can do price range eg. Under £10

🎄 My1stYears has their Black Friday event live - up to 50% off numerous items and free personalisation (includes the wooden advent calendars which are lovely). They also have 50% off selected Bluey today only. https://www.my1styears.com/collections/black-friday-gifts

For anyone after the new Delta Reign pokemon cards I managed to get a couple of packs from a local Co-Op today. £3.99 a pack limited to 3 per customer. Obviously will be store dependant but worth a try if you are close to one (They were behind the counter)

thanks @RainbowZebraWarrior . I think mn might've stopped sending me emails when I'm tagged as I suddenly realised yesterday I haven't been on the thread in a while and it must've got to the end by now. Turns out it had and I hadn't realised!

Hope you're all well. I'm onto wrapping for most things now. Hoping to get some Santa gifts wrapped this weekend and stashed

Good to see you back @Reastie 😊

Done ☺️
