The Christmas Present Thread 2012

[Dos_Box]

Come on, it's time to stop being in denial. Christmas is a mere 5 weeks away and many of us haven't either started or finished shopping for presents. What I want this thread to do is to get members to highlight any good offers (not just good ideas) they may see either online or from flyers put through your door. I'm going to open this up with this from Maplin:

 

1. Sennheiser 218 Headphones. Down from £39.99 to £19.99. Sweet!: Sennheiser HD218 (Closed-back on-ear Stereo headphone) : Sennheiser Headphones : Maplin Electronics

 

 

This thread is all about saving money and not wasting it when it comes to presents, so over to you

[Domino]

Sorry, but if it's Firebox, it has to be the Batmobile

Replica Batmobile - buy at Firebox.com

 

 

And it's more affordable than the RV!

I use HotUKDeals - Deals, Discounts & Voucher Codes before I shop online. Had some good deals on there in the past.

Not my cup of tea, but got the Miranda book as a pressie for someone - £4.99 at the book people Is it Just Me? (Hardback) - Miranda Hart - 9781444734140. HotUKdeals had a free shipping code too...

Groupon.co.uk is always worth a quick check too.

[witch]

I second Groupon, and also mention Living Social and Wowcher.

You have to cross-check to make sure you are getting a good deal but I have certainly had some great things from them

Dear Santa,

 

This year I have been a good boy and I would like ... a set of lock picks.

 

 

Love and Kisses,

Surely you will have to chew through the restraints before you can pick the lock?

set of lock picks.

Always wanted to learn how to pick locks. Not for any illegal purposes, but I know that at some point me/my friend/whoever is going to lock themselves out of their house and I'll be able to rescue them/myself without having to pay a locksmith. That, and it just seems interesting.

I like puzzles and machines that don't beat me at chess (well, I do after I chew through the restraints). Lock picking seems like putting the two together. Anyway, it's a move up from a sledgehammer.
