    Thanks everyone for the great ideas
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    Sainsbury's today had some bionicles (Lego?) reduced from £8 to £4.
    I've also just had this link, but haven't yet had chance to check out what's on offer or what the postage costs are.

    "Simply visit https://www.love-eco.co.uk and enter your special code: TENPOUNDS
    when prompted at checkout and a FREE £10 will be deducted from your basket.

    That means you can get a Chicken Doorstop for just £3, a Bamboo Bath Towel for just £8
    and items less than £10 will be free of charge (only pay for postage).

    This special offer is valid until 31.08.09"

    Gosh what a treat to find your post, have been looking for something special for my best mate, saw this cuff

    http://www.love-eco.co.uk/products/clover-swirl-cuff

    was £65, reduced to £48 then using the code I got it for £38, perfect! thank you soo much:T

    I always have a list in my diary, which is always with me. If I see a good buy then I check out my list and see if I can use it for someone, as a good deal isn't a good deal if it isn't really the right present.

  • We always start looking out around now in the big supermarkets especially for bits for our nieces & nephews (we have 10 between us!) they start selling the summer toys off in the last few years we've had a wendy house for £8, a trike with handle for £10, & after schools go back we've usually picked up various pens/pencil/fancy rubbers & pencil cases for a fraction of the origional price & these make good stocking fillers. Also keep an eye out for Argos sales, they usually have some good reductions on toys.

    Yes I noticed that the supermarkets have been doing that, its a great place to pick up bargins, last year I got my eldest the new range of DR Who figures for £1.62 each rather than the £9.99 that they usually are. saved a fortune.

    Also Home Bargins and B&M's have started putting more toys out now, so if you have them near you they are worth a look too.

    Hey,

    I know that this is posted elsewhere, but poundland are selling a range of bath/body stuff called pure (pink label) and if you peel off the label (comes off fairly easily) it is Boots Botanics stuff underneath. I have done MIL a mini hamper for xmas for £6, but true worth is £27+
