Thread 28 - the one with the amarillo bulb and winter cheery plants

[Reastie]

Thanks @OyTheBumbler for the title. Now, does the Amarillo bulb grow the place or the song?!

I’ve finally updated the referral thread link in the post.

Wonder if this thread will get us to Christmas now we’re getting closer to being done.

Just wanted to say a huge HAPPY CHRISTMAS to everyone on here. Thank you for posting all your links and sharing codes etc; it’s made Christmas so much easier for so many people and I know I’ll be thinking of you all on Christmas Day.

Looking for some recommendations!

My husband recently got a new car so im looking to get him some car accessories (that he'd actually use) any recommendations would be great!

@Bumblebeefriend

Need a couple of books - preferably new releases for dh. He generally likes thrillers, political stuff and biographies. Does anyone have any suggestions of good books they have read recently?

Thrillers Silverview/John Le Carre Lincoln Highway/Amor Towle The Khan/Saima Mir Bad Apples/Will Dean

Political stuff
Empire land/Sathnam Sanghera
(stretching the definition but…) Renegades/Bruce Springsteen & Barack Obama
Pandemonium/Armando Iannucci

Biographies
Maybe I Don’t Belong Here/David Harewood
The Lyrics/Paul McCartney
Taste/Stanley Tucci

My Disney order was also cancelled.

I still manage to kill succulents and have been very happy with my fake plants from primark!

@Namechangesagain @NoSquirrels @Justhereforthechristmasthreads thanks for the recommendations. Managed to get some!

Always pleased with Lisa Angel orders and ordered on Thursday morning, delivered Saturday morning, perfect

I am done, I think! Thank you so much for all the great bargains and ideas again.

Trouble is I can't stop checking and I keep looking at promotions and deals thinking maybe I should start sticking up for birthdays and next year 😂

Thank you to everyone for their contributions to this thread.
I've been following(and sometimes posted) for about 5 years and I love all the chat and offers of help.
I'm done, but still checking in, for those new year bargains!
Merry Christmas to you all.

I didn't order anything from Disney because the code was everywhere and I thought they are going to be cancelled. JL didn't spread outside Mumsnet and many people got their orders.

Groupon has a deal for Adidas giftcards - a £35 and promotional £15 gitcards (£50 in total) for £35. But if you use GIFT30 it takes it down to £29.75.
You have to use the promotional card by 21st Jan but the other card has a much longer date.
Perfect timing for Christmas sales.
I used TCB too but we'll see if it tracks.

Can anyone help with a Spotify voucher? Any codes or discounts or doesn’t that happen with Spotify?

PayPal do a 12 month Spotify subscription gift card (12 months for the price of 10).

Dixit (board game) reduced to £17.10 on Amazon - by far the lowest price according to the camels.

@AlexinMotherland

Anyone else had anything like this from Argos?

I ordered DH’s present a week ago but it never came in for collection, tried customer services who were meant to get back to me but never did and they’ve now cancelled it with no explanation just a weak apology.

No problem you’d think, just reorder but no, they’ve increased the price by £370!

They’ve refused to honour the original price so now I’m waiting on a refund so I can buy elsewhere. All with one week to go

Costco had hot tubs in this week

Aldi gin globe = Mark Owen surely?

(Sorry mark 😁)

Last minute.com here! Despite dipping in and out of the threads. I want to get the curry legend spicery kit for some one - I think I’ve probably missed any deals /codes. Is the best way to use a referral code from someone? And can anyone remember how quick delivery is? As they are also on Amazon too, would rather avoid but also need ASAP! Thank you!

Lovely people I need some help again please. I'd ordered some beautiful handmade Frozen style bows for my 7 yr old niece but the maker is ill so is unable to send them.

I didn't really like any other Frozen bows I saw it was just that these were lovely quality.

So I now need ideas please for a 7 yr old girl. She's not massively into reading I don't think. Something pretty would go down well which is what attracted me to the previous gift. Budget around £25.

Thank you so much @nosquirrels, for the book suggestions. Will definitely buy from this list. Really appreciate your help!

@LyraLupin mine took about 3-4 days from order to receipt.

For the discount you just apply one on the codes from the referral thread when you get to checkout.

21st Dec is last day for 1st class delivery. There is also a next day delivery option at checkout.

Had anyone ordered from the entertainer recently? I ordered last Wednesday and still haven't had a dispatch email so I'm getting a bit worried now!

Having avoided Throw Throw Burrito for 3 months, I now need one

Any ideas for in stock, quick delivery, but for a reasonable price? Amazon want £33 for it if arriving before Xmas (£15 for the one that arrives a week later). Not in stock in Argos.
