Thread one - the one with no name of note

[Reastie]

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.

@HollyGennero where were the discounted bits in John Lewis. Think I'm going to have a nosey in trafford tomorrow 🙂

Thanks @CakeCrumbs44

I’ve used the Celtic code, thanks, sheepskin liners for dd riding boots

If anyone has babies to buy for, 'that's not my Teddy' with soft toy is currently half price at Amazon for £7.50

Teddy book

That's not my Teddy was on Amazon for 4.00 last week and it's 4.50 in Sainsburys. I also think a pp said that Lidl (or could be Aldi) have some of the range for 2.99. Buying for a couple of babies this year.

Was that the one with the soft toy though?

It was aldi but that's not with the soft toy

Aldi did not have the soft toy versions. They had That’s Not My Lion, Giraffe, Frog, Piglet, Car and Truck. Hope that helps.

Hi, I have a Celtic and co £10 voucher with the exact same code do it looks like a generic one

Soap and Glory bundle £15 at Boots.

@woodwaj If you go in from the Trafford Centre through the upstairs doors (cooking stuff on your right, glassware on your left) and follow the aisle round to the right they were on the left just after the board games display (in front of the alcohol, opposite side of the aisle from stationery), fingers crossed there are some left or they’ve added more since!

@HollyGennero perfect thank you 🥰 I know exactly where you mean. I might be a little late to the party but it'll be worth a look

Many thanks for this thread, especially for the Scout Shop and Whistlefish offers (sorry for forgetting who posted those). I was pretty shocked to see that Whistlefish postage is £9.95 this morning, FedEx only: I'm pretty sure it was free yesterday and assume this must be a postal strike thing. Hopefully it isn't the start of a trend!

Asda have a new rewards app which seems good. Not christmassy but I made £3 back just doing my normal shopping this week, and if I make that every week between now and December it will go a good way towards the big Christmas shop.

Seems to be valid on everything in store such as clothes and toys, homewares etc (except the obvious exceptions like petrol, gift cards and baby milk)

There’s not much left in the M&S sale but just scored a merino wool jumper for DP for £11.99! They only have XS left now but a lovely gift for a skinny man or teen.

Or indeed women.
I buy all of my casual jumpers from the men’s range at M and S; cheaper, longer and better quality.
For reference I would say an XS is a close fitting 12 or a looser 10.

Boots have this mystery box worth over £30 when you spend £20 on cosmetics. I just got mine today and I am so impressed. Photo below (all full size).

I can't seem to fine the sheep liners?

Just seen this gift box of 8 bath bombs advertised elsewhere half price on Amazon for £3.50 with 50% of voucher applied. great reviews. If added to subscribe and save it drops to £3.14.

Bath bombs

They come up if you search for insoles, they’re £14. Can’t link as it won’t let me copy for some reason!?!

24 crayola colouring pens on amazon have a voucher you can use so only cost £3.75 - normally £7.89. Good stocking filler.

can’t do clicky links, sorry: CRAYOLA SuperTips Washable Felt Tip Colouring Pens, 24 Count (Pack of 1) amzn.eu/d/3rOdTVk

Aww they are 6.99 now and it’s 50% voucher if you do subscribe and save

£9.95 Whistlefish delivery @CarrotCarrotCucumber

Apologies if this has been posted already but Zavvi have 3 for 2 Lego sets until midnight tonight - usual cost around £50 each. My MN experience has never recovered from the site changeover (I still can't use the app at all) so if there is any way of viewing the whole thread I'd be grateful to learn it - I used to view all posts and then search for (for example) Zavvi to see if anyone posted, but have no way of doing it now!

@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl you can still view all posts but you have to do it by going to settings > talk settings and it sets it for all threads instead of being able to choose view 100 on each thread which is annoying!
