One wrote: "The elf's first little gifts", while another wrote: "cute for stockings".

A different account commented: "Some good little bits for my Christmas Eve box", and one was particularly keen on "the cute rubbers";.

And one thanked the original poster for sharing the bargain: "Thank you Just got these for my kids as stocking fillers."

The Works describes its light-up yoyo as a "bright and colourful flashing festive themed yoyo that is sure to provide hours of fun for both children and adults."

Its pack of five 3D rubbers are shaped like Christmas trees, snowmen, and gifts.

And the "soft and stretchy" Christmas bouncing putty is "perfect for moulding, squishing, and bouncing into fun shapes".

One mum said on social: "Look at these!"

A second commented: "Fold out stationery set online."

Another pointed out the bits could be perfect for Christmas and posted: "Stocking fillers!"

A fourth wrote: "Need to go in, footy things!"

While a fifth said: "Love it all!"

How to shop for bargains

As always, we recommend shopping around to find the best deal.

There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.

Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.

For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web.

Just type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.

How to save money on Christmas shopping

CONSUMER reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.

Limit the amount of presents - buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.

Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you're not having to buy multiple presents.

Plan ahead - if you've got the stamina and budget, it's worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.

Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you're not forking out more than you should though.

Buy in Boxing Day sales - some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.

Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.

Shop via outlet stores - you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.

They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
