It feels bizarre setting up the first Christmas thread on one of the hottest days of the year, yet here we are!

Lovely to see you all; take a seat and grab a mince pie as they get passed around.

Please do alert me to anything for the next thread's page of links (I'm starting fresh this year). Hope you've had a good year and looking forward to celebrating and sharing our bargain buys.

Love these threads (and prequel and the poncdtastic threads). My 9th year with many name changes.

Anyway when I wrap I write in sharpie on the cellotape on the bottom who a gift I'd for. Means I can wrap in advance and do labels closer to the time. 2 fine sharpies are here for £1. Also great for writing om the calander as they work at an angle.

sharpie

That's a good idea ... you could also use a piece of washi tape and write on that as it peels off easily without removing the paper underneath

My hooded blankets arrived today and both have cut out Primark tags. Think I will be sending them back as they was supposed to be gifts. Happy to buy from Primark and give as a gift but not with a cut out label.

My hot diamonds earrings came in a beautiful jewellery box, contained in a gift bag, contained in a bigger gift box!

Slightly ridiculous but great for gifting

My Aldi had BakedIn cinnamon buns packs for £2.49 - spotted today. Took me back to the threads last year. 😁

Kudd.ly have bundle offers on, I've just got a hooded blanket and weighted blanket for £59!

CatelynStark · 18/08/2022 14:23

Fork Handles 😁

Lightning deal on these nice looking CANDLES in tins - extra 10% by checking the tick box. 12 for £12.67. Nice for stockings/teacher gifts.

Also, 62% off these choice of apple cinnamon or fresh linen. Was £9.89 & £12.99 respectively: now £4.99

Just received the Disney AirPod cases from Toys for a £1, and I also got the miniature Pringles puzzle. Im SO pleased with them, perfect for Christmas Eve boxes. Thanks to the person that shared the info 👍🏻

@SeekingBalance how did you manage this, please? The only bundles I can find need 3 items in them.

InDreamland · 18/08/2022 14:51

Not Christmassy but Boots are doing BOGOF on vitamins again. Online today only.

MentalMini · 18/08/2022 15:03

My two hooded blankets arrived today.The unicorn and tie dye are both kudd.ly and came shrink wrapped. Apart from my navy ones being from Primark i'm really happy with them.Means i have sorted most of my family presents and got myself a spare for when my oodie is drying 🙂

SeekingBalance · 18/08/2022 15:17

You could click on the bundle you wanted so I clicked two, then chose a weighted blanket and the hooded blanket. On the menu it says bundles at the very top.

Hmm, I just automatically get a “50% off any 3 things”. Still tempting though!

EverydayIsPJday · 18/08/2022 15:26

I can't see the kudd.ly deal either 🤷🏼 only for three items

Irritatedmum · 18/08/2022 15:27

Hard to get a great pic of the Hot Diamonds packaging. You get a gift bag, and a chunky white box. The jewellery comes wrapped in plastic so you have to display it yourself in the box. There’s also a piece of pink tissue to wrap the box in inside the bag.

Sadly my hooded blankets are primark too (navy ones). The cut labels are a bit annoying but they are very very snuggly so I might keep.
TK Maxx (actual store) have some great aromatherapy associates gift boxes in the clearance sale, rrp about 70 down to 7 or 8.

LoopyGremlin · 18/08/2022 16:08

My navy hooded blanket is also Primark but think I’ll keep it anyway.

I used the bndl code for the kuddly website and that seemed to work - thanks!

I also have the code SKXO2F (unclear if that is a zero or a letter o) for 20% off the Skechers website - seems like a fairly generic code.
