Thread 19 - loling with our fingerlings

[Reastie]

A rubbish thread title but, well, it's 19 now!

20 days until Christmas, I'm imagining us all wrapping late at night like little festive elves readying ourselves for how excited everyone will be with their bargainous presents.

Any referral links to go on this separate thread please

I don't know if this is any good to anyone but Ifly in Manchester (indoor skydiving) are currently having a half price offer on. You have to go at speciffic times (any time during weekdays but at weekends and during school hols it's before 11am or after 5 (or so) pm). I just got vouchers for a flight for DH and 3 DCs for £105, it's more or less half price.

This who we're looking for cheap Amazon echo dots. Argos have them reduced again.

Amazon echo is on qvc as the Tsv today.

Plus it’s on easypay too

chilli if we spend the next 2 weeks holding hands then we cant twitch right?!

I have a £5 off £30 spend at Lakeland - expires 23 December. PM if you want it!

We need a present for a 16 year old girl. Preferably from an actual shop or very fast delivery as it's for a schoolfriend of dd's & they break up on Friday.
She's buying Dd a very age inappropriate present (her mum did ask permission) involving alcohol!
I don't really want it to be make up as her mum works in a cosmetics dept so gets her lots of discounted products anyway.

@AlexanderHamilton you could get hot choc, marshmallows, nice mug and a blanket from Asda. Less than a tenner spent but I'd have been thrilled when I was 16 to receive this.

Alexander - Urban Outfitters have a lovely minimergency kit £16

CCC alert, the Paw Patrol Air Patroller is £23.25 on Amazon, just 26p over lowest ever price

For £25 you can get a cineworld box with vouchers for cinema tickets, drinks, snacks and popcorn for two people.

cineworld Christmas box

imsorryiasked - had a google and that looks absolutely perfect thank you!

I have nothing to contribute but this is my favourite thread title ever.

Thank you - saw the echo dot reduced at Argos.
Are there any Argos codes going please?

How much do you want to spend Alex?

My nearest store is 30 miles away Taffeta.

I guess up to around £15 ish spelling

Right, been away for work and now in panic mode as still so much to buy - but at least my Fingerling was delivered while I was away! I'm very disorganised.

Jaffalong for anyone looking at the Cineworld gift box beware, they have a very short date on the voucher use. If you buy a normal gift card for two tickets they have 24 months to use them.

Last year if you brought the box they had to be used in 6 months. Me and DH nearly got caught out and brought tickets on the day that it expired (having used the card we received from somebody else without realising). You can always wrap up a normal gift card with a packet of popcorn.

Does anyone have a Boden discount code or voucher? I am about to spend £40 so a discount would be much appreciated if anyone has one knocking about.

This is my first year on Mumsnet and my very first introduction to the Christmas bargain thread....

So far I have bought:
Playmobil fire engine AND ambulance from Tesco (I don't know any young children!!)
Emma Bridgwater mugs (I have no one to give them to!!)
Pact coffee subscription x 2
Hotel chocolate subscription x 2
Flavourly gin subscription
L'occitane candles and free gifts x 2
half price Tesco photo blanket (who knew I needed one of those!)
A load of children's books from Amazon in the 4 for £10 offer.. (again who the f*ck for!!)
and a load more bargains!!

I am proud to have resisted the urge to buy Woolovers, the instamatic camera, fingerlings and a giant unicorn.

The giant penguin, however, is calling my name....

Thank you to everyone who has posted!! I have found my spiritual home...

Oh god I had to buy them penguin. Where the fuck will dd put it. But she collects penguins so it had to be done...

Does anyone have any suggestions for a buy now create later photobook? There are some pics I want to take next week but still have it delivered by New Years Eve?

Has anyone seen any Christmas champagne glasses? I've got a budget of £10 for two glasses and a bottle of bubbly, so as cheap as possible 😬

TK Maxx for Christmas champagne flutes !

And Waitrose had some pretty ones, I expect most of the big supermarkets will do.
