I bought the gin too! 🐑 My friend loves gin, so it's a nice something towards her Christmas present. Thank you for the code.

Thanks for JL code, bought a whisky lovers jigsaw reduced from £16 to £10 so it's just cost me the postage of £3.50

Dh and I both have John Lewis Cards so we both placed an order. Although the gin was tempting, we each ordered a quart of champgane. One was £10, the rose was £12. Should have really utilised this offer for gifts for other people... but oh well!

I don’t drink so not a clue if the gin is nice tasting or a good deal but I ordered some for my BIL anyway 😂

Thanks for the jl code. I actually signed up for a card to get it. So between that and a Lisa angel gift my sil is now sorted 😊😊

I also got the gin set! Thanks for sharing the code.

Thanks for the John Lewis ordered 2 gin sets for my 2 sisters. 13.50 including postage.

Echo Dot is 22 on amazon with 2 months free of amazon music, cheapest I’ve ever seen!

Sorry it seems to be over already ☹️ I got one and was about to go back for a second and it’s already up to 49! Can anyone else find it cheap still? You have to subscribe to amazon music I think for 2 months x

Managed to get the JL code to work on the beautiful Alessi spoon rest I've been fancying but couldn't really justify, so thank you so much for that.

We bought a dot for my son 2 years ago they asked if he wanted a trial of amazon music (he said yes). We’re still paying for it 2 years on, amazon say they can’t find any record of us paying for it yet they charge my card every month

@hiredandsqueak thanks for the JL discount. I needed a birthday present for a four year old and got the gin as part of the same order.

Sorry what is the JL discount please?

Code MYHOME gets you £10 off the home section with no minimum spend but you need to have a myjohnlewis card

Thank you @hiredandsqueak for posting the JL discount! That’s a great one

The JL code can be a bit glitchy. Keep trying if it's being awkward!

Just to update on mountain warehouse - already arrived (only ordered yesterday!) with free delivery and 15% off

Long-term lurker, but has some fantastic bargains over the years this wonderful thread. Thank you for the JL code.

Thank you for the John Lewis code, did 2 orders and got the gin (sheep baaaaa!) and an Andy Warhol print

Can't get the JL code to work for me wanted to order a beautiful baby blanket

I'm loving Christmas shopping tonight with all the bargains posted. Gonna stick a Christmas film on lol

Amazing. Signed up for a MyJL card and used this. Brilliant!

I got a Neom reed diffuser. Lovely. For me, not for a present!

@NightOwl19, have you signed in and checked that you're signed up to My John Lewis? Also, keep trying. It took about 10 attempts to check out when my DH did his purchase (gardening gloves for me!).

@NightOwl19 if you sign in, then under “My Account” choose Sign Up For JL Card. Then you’ll probably get the discount code to work. HTH

Thanks for the John Lewis code, too tired to decide so got the gin set aswell! In the Christmas stash!
