Favourite websites for christmas shopping

[devilsavacado]

Not sure if this has been done yet,but what are your favourite websites for christmas shopping?

Fortnum and Mason (probably not this year though )

Toys R Us
Early Learning centre
Boots
Ocado
Hamleys (they were not very efficient last year though, it took them 2 weeks to send my order out and didn't arrive until christmas eve. They had items missing and didn't let me know so they held on to the order without sending anything at all until I phoned them because I had been waiting for ages.)

Loving www.mywishwand.co.uk. It has all the usual retailers on board and many many more. They make suggestions, you can just shop or even make wishlists. I have done it for Xmas this year and I am nearly done!

Oxfam are good for things. You should have a look. Christmas isn't just for spending and all that.

i buy everything from boots and m&s and get points for what i bought also get cashback too.
dont buy elc toys unless must, they are all on boots website for 3for2.

Thanks everyone,will take a look at your suggestions.

My two have so many toys so am looking for art and craft type things and oxfam is a good idea for something different to the norm.

If your looking for craft things have you tried here

Try www.john-crane.co.uk for great wooden toys!

Just done some this morning. Yellowmoon.org for crafty stuff/cards/etc (some stuff 50% off at mo and they do cashback to your school assuming it's registered). M&S have got 3 for 2 on some xmas stuff. And i had a 25% off code for DK books, so i'm on a roll today!

I just tried that wishwand site coocurly mentioned. Suggestions for my dad defined as a 60 year old arty, intellectual, book loving inquisitive male were

vintage telephone
cufflinks
Levi jeans

Not sure I'll be using them!

NotOnTheHighStreet.com

last years online shopping thread great website suggestions

Liz Earle and M&S

Flowerbeanbag

If you look at coocurly in search she has only posted about that website.

ooh good detective work lizzie. Coocurly there is a fee for advertising on MN, and if you attempt to get free advertising, you might get people trying your website and reporting back how rubbish it is...

If you have money to blow and want something a bit quirky this firebox.com website never fails to amuse me...

here for example

kiddykool for some great toddler / pre school toys and craft kits

bump
any more funky shops , still looking for inspiration.

i've bought some lovely kids things from www.tickety-boo.co.uk/ lovely wooden toys and that sort of thing

www.buttonbag.co.uk has lovely craft kits

For Christmas decorations, my very own site here

Or for Jellycat soft toys, here

Funnily enough this year iv got most my stuff off Ebay, use it quite alot normally but dint think i would for christmas but just typed in wat i wanted and selected New items only and found everything cheap but in very good quality, very easy and quick :-)

amazon.co.uk there is a great sale on at the mo, free P&P and a good mix of stuff
