Fancy joining in John and Edward mania?  The UK and Ireland’s favourite twins appear to have won support from comeback merchant Zavvi with some wonderfully designed T shirts.  But then again, these were retailing at £19.99 originally, and have now dropped to a rock bottom £3.  Maybe they know something we don’t and their time on the X Factor is to be very short-lived indeed.  Anyway, if you fancy wowing friends with the latest fashion accessory or just be annoying down the pub, then these t-shirts are probably for you:

And just in case the guys are feeling left out,  Zavvi has produced a men’s version – same T shirt, different colour – click here

Maplin has extended its 3 for 2 offer on toys until Christmas Eve – although you’ll obviously need to order before then to be sure of delivery for Christmas.

Moss Bros, the upmarket men’s and women’s shop and hire retailer has issued a great new discount code offering 20% off selected brands including classic tailored tuxedos or stylish party suits.  The discount is available until December 18.

It’s quite unusual for retailers to issue discounts that are available in-store as well as online but Moss Bros is obviously trying to grab a greater share of the suit and black tie hire business for those Christmas parties that are taking place over the next week and a half.

You can get the online discount code here.  But if you’d prefer to use the discount available at your local store, then click on the image above and print the voucher out.  20% off suit hire at this time of year is a very welcome bonus.

Moss Bros has been aggressively marking down its stock over the past month in the same way that TM Lewin has been doing and has some great deals on suits from just £75 and up to 50% off items online and in-store. 

Visit the Moss Bros website and view all offers.

TM Lewin also has a 10% discount code available until December 23 for use online.  TM Lewin has already cut prices by 10% in the run up to Christmas so use the discount code to get 20% off online.

Shirts, ties, jackets and trousers make great presents for men and are always a nice safe bet for the working man.  TM Lewin and Moss Bros also have excellent women’s departments both online and in-store.

This has to be one of the best bargains I’ve seen this Christmas.  Jokers Masquerade are giving away a FREE Santa Suit without any purchase being necessary.  All you have to do is pay the shipping costs which are £4.99.

As with all these kind of freebie offers, it’s one per order.  I reckon you’ll have to be quick with this one.  They say they have 3,000 to give away but with hungry shoppers all over the internet looking for a bargain, these won’t last long.

For what it’s worth the spec. the said Santa suit is it will fit any size chest (from 32″ to 46″) and it comes with trousers, matching top, a black belt and a red hat – and to finish it off, you get a white beard too.  Not bad for nothing.

Jokers Masquerade is a great shop for all fancy dress costumes.  I’ve used them before for Halloween costumes and their fancy dress costumes are extremely high quality.  They also have a great selection of Christmas costumes that you can add to your FREE santa costume.

You know Christmas is approaching when you see offers like this.  Austin Reed, the top-end men’s and women’s clothing retailer is dropping all its prices by 40% from December 5.This is the latest broadside in price cuts from clothing retailers desperately trying to grab market share in the run up to Christmas.  Austin Reed is synonymous with high end fashion and is not the kind of retailer that you would expect this kind of price cut from – but when all’s said and done, this is great news for consumers.

The Austin Reed offer includes 40% off men’s formal shirts, all men’s jeans and women’s suit jackets.

The 40% off offer has even been extended to CC Fashion – the leading women’s clothing retailer and sister company to Austin Reed.

Both offers currently have no end date and could well run right up until Christmas.

Other offers from clothing retailers currently include:

20% off at Burton

Joules Clothing 4 for 3 on everything including free p&p and returns

Bench clothing free delivery throughout December

Evans Clothing 20% off

Look out for more offers in response to Austin Reed’s offer.

Marks & Spencer and John Lewis don’t seem to know whether they are coming or going with their sudden price reductions – but one suspects there are a few moles rattling around as the Christmas silly season takes hold. 

Both merchants have been engaging in very, very sudden 1-day price reductions, and far be it from me to say they are reacting to each other or trying to amass as many sales as is possible at the expense of the other.

The latest bout of price wars saw M&S announce a 20% price reduction for December 4.  This was then followed by John Lewis suddenly dropping its prices for December 3 by 30% (even though Marks & Spencer’s promotion was supposed to be under wraps). A similar promotion by M&S recently backfired when furious customers took items back they’d purchased before a sudden price drop to get the extra 20% off.

Without taking sides here are the best Christmas offers from both retailers:

John Lewis Christmas Shop

M&S 3 for 2 on Kids Toys

M&S 3 for 2 Christmas Shop

This might help with the nightmare that is the stocking fillers.  I know from personal experience that getting these blasted tiny things for the kids can be worse than shopping for what could be termed ‘main presents.  And lets be honest, they don’t really all fit in a stocking now do they!!  As the days of walnuts, satsumas and various other edible treats sufficing for stocking fillers are long gone (that’s what my mum told me she used to get).

Try these very nifty little football treats from Subside Sports.

I know they’re not all under a fiver but that’s what their website maintained befoe I clicked the link.  But, they’re ‘mostly’ all under a fiver.  I must also apologise to those of you seeking presents for girls – as these are undoubtdely for boys (unless, of cpurse, you have a young lady into football who’d like the David Beckham figure or the England captain’s armband - which incidentally is reduced to £2.99 from £3.50).

Either way you can bet your bottom dollar that most of these stocking fillers will be down the side of an armchair by New Year’s Day.

Merry Christmas

Oh and here’s the Subside Sports Christmas Shop with quite a good gift finder…

It seems the clothing retailers are either going tit-for-tat or there are real problems facing upmarket clothing brands this Christmas.  Moss Bros, the UK’s leading suit and smart clothing retailer, has just announced that it will be giving all online customers 20% off via a discount code.

Moss Bros is already offering a third off many items exclusive to its online arm so this is a real opportunity for bargain hunters to pick up something for that hard-to-buy-for man.

Moss Bros is particularly strong for suits, dresswear, tuxedos, shirts, trousers, ties and all work-related clothing.  Moss Bros’ offer is accompanied by FREE delivery on all items for the duration of the 20% discount offer.

Of course, this is excellent news for shoppers; but it’s likely to be only the smart shopper that benefits with many cosnumers still rushing to the High Street in search of bargains.

Austin Reed has extended its 25% off online sale until midnight November 30.  Austin Reed is the latest of the classic menswear retailers to announce price cuts in the run up to Christmas, s they all try and grab a share of the market.

Clothing retailers have been particularly bullish and quick to reduce prices as the credit crunch has taken effect on consumers.  Austin Reed is very much aimed at the stylish man – or the woman shopping for the stylish man.  They have a great range of shirts, suits, trousers and ties, but also time-saving garments such as non-iron shirts and crease resistant trousers.

Just click on the image to the left and print it – and then take it to your local New Look Store to get 20% off.
