    I have just spent the grand total of £164 for ALL of my birthday and christmas shopping for 2005! That's 35 gifts in all and every one of them were at least 50% discounted - from Boot.com!!! Postage was free and I have got gift boxes for them all for an extra couple of quid (they charge same for gift box whether you want one or twenty or 35 in my case!)

    I spent an enjoyable hour on-line shopping and am feeling quite smug as I have saved loads of cash, time and last minute panics for next year - HIGHLY recommended.

    I ordered a few things at Christmas and paid for the gift box service but they just put everything in one large gift box >:(
    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!

    Don't foget the 10% discount code from mumplusone MPDJ98. And also for another 2.5% go to boots via rpoints.

    That's most of next years Xmas shopping done and thanks to the cashback coming from Nationwides credit card next month it should cover a good lot of the purchase ;D.

    Thanks for the tip BOGOFF. I'm off to try and make a donation to the Tsunami Appeal now, couldn't get through on the website yesterday.

    I am in awe of people who have already done next year's Christmas shopping and was tempted to follow suit but realised I would have to stash the stuff somewhere for a year- not forget about it and hope my daughters etc would not change likes and enthusiasms during the year.
    Fat chance - so it is back to checking this site 2 or 3 months before which is what I did this year and it worked brilliantly.

    I found MSE too late this year for Christmas bargains but will DEFINITELY be checking here first before buying ANYTHING at all!

    I am new to this site and obviously have a lot to learn as I had not idea about the code giving extra 10% discount etc!!! Oh well I can but improve. Thought the gift box offer was a bit too good to be true! However I am still happy - I will store all the goodies in the box it comes in which will also help as I usually buy stuff over the year then forget where I put it!

  • Thanks for the tips. I've just got a load of stuff. Not only some pressies but I bought a load of things in bulk thanks to them being cheaper in gift sets (deodorants and shower gels).

    Always Learning !

    It was just by luck I did a search and it came up with another thread which gave the code for 10% discount. I'd already started shopping when I remembered about rpoints, so quickly logged in there first before switching to boots, so hopefully the extra 2.5% works. I too ticked the gift box before I read the earlier thread; if they don't all come individually boxed I try a little complaint, no harm in trying.

    10% off not valid, but thanks anyway, was worth a try :-*
