Bargain thread 1 - Christmas shopping on the hottest day of the year!

Thank you to chips for keeping the seat warm for me.

@tootsnwoocake I managed to resist C&C last year! But may cave this year

It's so hard to resist. I love all the alpine things - the little cable car and ski decorations and the wall hanging. I especially love the lit up village but it is £175.

My Cox and Cox stuff last year was beautiful. I may have a peek again.......

Dedoles socks (fun non matching pairs) 7% off with code LUCK including sale items

Oh thanks for the JL code. Amazed at the velevertiser £15 off, i keep trying to persuade DH we need one. Unfortunately due to mat leave and just having moved house it’s still that bit too expensive 😭
I’m off to lidl in a bit to try for those wooden toys.

Thanks for the JL code, myself and husband made use of it.
Very have £30 off orders over £60 for new customers. We've used this offer too so made a big difference to a bigger item.

Little Tikes have some good reductions on large play stuff - really nice workshop bench, and a "lab"

Thnx for popcorn/snack bowl links

My Rex London order arrived, I didn't think there was much to buy when I first looked, had to patiently scroll, glad I did. Bargain washi tape, fab glasses/screen cleaner that looks like a vinyl record for DH, a skeleton on a stand that DD will love and for me in the sale a mini bevelled mirror

I signed up for 10% off Turtle Doves cashmere and got an email offering £10 off so got a lovely pair of recycled cashmere fingerless gloves for £16. I chose the colour but lucky dip on the shade but happy with what I received, might get another pair for a gift, great for MILs and teens link https://www.turtle-doves.co.uk/pages/friends]

Really loved my Cox and Cox stuff I bought last year so I'll have to have another peek!! I got a wooden hanging Christmas tree thing which is sooo nice and some window stickers.

Argh I'm frustrated, I wanted that personalise your own water bottle someone posted from amazon, but as it's a lightening deal you can only get one. No good for the twins who need the same.

Harry Potter fans...I know you're out there!
Zavvi has an official HP Christmas sack with HP Christmas jumper (+ socks, eraser, notebooks) for £19.99 (£2 delivery). A few jumper sizes available (M, L, XL)

Another thanks for the JL code - that's one of my team sorted with an Eleanor Bowmer mug - I'd recommend her range if you're looking for anyone who likes illustration, leopard print or anything a bit alternative.

Lidl has Harry Potter water bottles in stock at the moment - I think they were £2.99

Argos have got two bath bundles for 4:99 each. I thought it looked good to bulk out younger ones stockings.

Thanks so much for the JL code! It took me an age to get it to work but was worth it in the end! I meant to buy a present on there but ended up with a new set of drinking glasses for me instead (oops).

No great codes from me although zavvi have a good selection of 2 for £20 film/TV t-shirts and free delivery with code ZAVVIFD. Also I often get stuff for film geek husband from Last Exit to Nowhere (lastexittonowhere.com) which does unique film-related clothing that is quite nerdy and in-jokey.

Fat face have a good sale that has started, it says VIP exclusive so not sure if you have to have previously bought from them. This is the link I used...
sale

Misguided have 20% off everything that weekend, I got a mark jacobs perfume set for £28 down from £45

Can anyone recommend a grooming kit/clippers now that they're the craze post lockdown? I think cordless is the way to go..?

I'm after a 1TB hard drive for an XBox for my husband if anyone knows of any deals.

Free delivery at Disney Store today only with the code FREESHIP

I know it's Gordon's rather than a "naicer" one, but their lemon gin currently is £13 on Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0851B77SM?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

@Unihorn

I'm after a 1TB hard drive for an XBox for my husband if anyone knows of any deals.

@Unihorn The new XBox will be released late October so there will be lots of deals then.

Oh i might have to pop to lidl in Tuesday, I love their wooden toys!

@Unihorn i got this one for my husbands playstation and had no issues with it. The same company also sell xbox 1 compatible hard drives so would presume they're of the same quality though i can't guarantee it!! Also make sure you buy spare screws as they're tiny and go missing easily!
