Christmas 14 The one with the Strap on Tools

@Reastie I've started the new thread can you add your standard wonderful information?

If you’re posting anything specifically for me please do @Reastie or I may not spot it. It’s helpful if when sharing bargain info you bold it to make it easy for people to differentiate between chat and bargain links.

To follow the thread without using up a post to mark place you can click on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first post.

No affiliate links please.

Thought I’d do a ‘how to’ for a couple of things people often post about not being sure of

To do click links you do this put link in here then a space then the name or phrase you want to go with the link . Don’t put a space between the start of the link or the last word next to the like I have or it won’t work but I had to to demonstrate.

Some top tips from thelegohooverer:

My tips are:
check out companies on trustpilot before ordering
be wary of companies that only have email/contact firms for customer services and no phone numbers or addresses (unless of course you enjoy meaningless replies from bots)
keep a list of what you’ve ordered so you can follow up if something doesn’t arrive. Sometimes it’s a numbers game where they’re betting on people not following up on missing orders.
check where things are shipped from, particularly if you need them quickly. I’ve got caught out waiting for the slow boat from China when I thought I was ordering locally.
I’ve started using Revolut to avoid putting in my main bank details (and it helps me budget)

Aliexpress have lots of stuff very cheap, order early as it’s all delivered from China . Be aware some items are a bit knock off in quality and safety, check reviews and be aware. Clothes can come up v small and take the photos with a pinch of salt as a guide for what you will get.

Ohh ,, thanks for the Amazon drinks tip.
Need to get tequila and Malibu.
Didn't know which tequila to get ...so that has helped me.

Thanks for new thread!

Tesco have some of those spirits on £10 Clubcard so no need to buy two (or multiples of two if you want three).

Thanks for the new thread, need to keep up this time!

Thanks for the Fred.

I need one more small gift for MIL. So far she has a posh notebook with her initial embossed on it, an Emma Bridgewater mug and a peacock patterned velvet pouch from the museum site. Perhaps cashmere socks if there are any bargains about? Not wrist warmers thanks. Any ideas please?

Can anyone recommend a good scent for men please? Like an everyday use one. Preferably the spray type of aftershave? Thanks

I used the two WH Smith's codes stacked thanks, saved £90. Which compared to other offers ( which had sold out) saving is actually more like £60. Still really excellent so thank you !!!

I decide to stop following these threads because I was spending too much and then I missed the triple stacked hot diamond codes. I’m gutted and will be watching the is one closely.

Thanks so much for the new thread

I am about 75% done with my shopping!

@mammyaroundmadness
Paco Rabanne Invictus is lovely
They also have a new Invictus victory. Or Gucci guilty
I have 3 DS's and they have all liked these

I still can't get the amazon vouchers to work on the lego and the credit they promised on chat isn't showing.

If anyone have a chilli lover to buy for them I can recommend this company. Code Halloween13 gets 13% off everything on the site.

For those looking for the Primark version of Oodies, I didn't spot Snoopy or Minecraft but did see a pink unicorn one in the kids section and picked up a grey PlayStation one for £21 in the mens section.
This was in the Liverpool Primark.

For the Amazon Lego vouchers, I went into chat, they got me to add what I wanted to my basket, then they added up the value of the vouchers and applied credit to my account, then I checked out while still on to them to make sure it all went through.

It's lovely that newbies want to help out and I really don't want to upset anyone but there has been so much change in the world over the past 2 years and I'd rather like this cosy christmassy corner of mumsnet to stay the same.
@Sideorderofchips does the prequels
@Reastie does the main threads

It's worked very well for years and it means I know what to search for if I lose you all
That's my 2 penny worth, as you were

Sorry above was in reply to @dizzygirl1

Playmobil discounts although I can't actually seem to get the discount to work sadly :(

I don't mind who ever starts the new thread. If thread comes full it's better someone starts a new one because bargains won't stop coming.

@nupt that makes sense,, but it’s better if one person does them because otherwise we might end up with 5 different threads!

Son really likes car washes at the minute. I've seen this set on eBay but begrudge paying £40 for it as I know it originally was alot cheaper from Lidl/Aldi. Anyway, does anyone know when Lidl and Aldi start stocking their wooden track items please? Aldi on the site have a few wooden toys but mainly kitchens etc.

We were in a toy shop today and daughter really loved the Maileg mice/rabbits in match boxes.

Does anywhere do cheaper versions? They are £££.
