Xmas Prezzies

Options
Hello, i seen a post for xmas must haves for children - to buy them before the prices go up - and thought well what about partners. I am always stumped what to get my partner for xmas.
This year i have pre - ordered the new lee evans dvd from hmv for £15 for my fiance, its bound to go up in price before xmas or sell out.:j

Anyone else have any ideas so we can save a few quid by getting the must have early?
£8/£100 - £1 a day until xmas day :T - im a little behind it shud be £11 i think.

    To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research ;)

    Only thing with this is its a bit of a false positive. By declaring something to be the "Must Have" gift you then push the people who are just out for a quick buck to buy it and sell it on ebay when all the stock has been bought. These threads turn into more moneygrabbers instead of moneysavers. Better to just keep listening to your partner. No doubt they will leave some clue of what they want at some time.

    Compare the price before you order anything. It's £13.97 delivered at Woolworths.

    Although Amazon are rarely the cheapest provider they often come in close to the cheapest, if you pre-order through them & they reduce the price before dispatch or upto 1 month after dispatch then you can claim the difference back!

    HTH;) ;)

  • OH NO! thanks for telling me, i have emailed hmv and asked them if they will do a price match, if not i can always cancel the order. Just glad i know in advance before it was dispatched.

    Think I saw it somewhere that amazon are or have stopped the price refunds if it goes down in 30 days but don't quote me!
