    I wanted a reindeer too, but in typical Amazon fashion because we all looked at it the price went up. I bet it will go down again soon. If anyone really wants to know when, put a watch on it on camelcamelcamel and it will notify you when it goes below a certain level.

    Reindeer just gone to £1.42 bought it quick but postage was £4.59! Was it on free delivery last night? It's paid for now anyway. Thank you x

    Eta thought I'd be a smartie pants and order two hoping the p&p would still be £4.59. Sadly that didn't happen so I've just got the one:) ( think I was being a little greedy)
    The secret of Christmas
    It's not the things you do at Christmastime
    But the Christmas things you do
    All year through

  • true amazon style indeed... im sure it will be up and down between now and xmas.. i got one for our 'lost santa sack' (on the same lines of a xmas eve hamper, but im making a hessian sack, which will be left in the garden, if dry, or doorstep if not,.. and make out it must have fallen from his sleigh when the elves were collected. )

    Xmas is my fav event of the year! spend all year planning it (which is lucky since we usually have all 7 children here lol)

    Yes Amazon use software which tracks viewings. If something begins to look popular, the price can go up. That's why if you see an Amazon grabbit, you need to get it quickly, otherwise all the other people who've seen the grabbit and looked at it will push the price up.
