Thread 2 - the one with a bath humbug.

[Reastie]

Ho ho ho and welcome to the bargain Christmas thread - home of the discounts for Christmas shopping.

Not sure how this compares to going bargain rate on molton brown, but there’s a set of 6 mini body washes for £14.99 delivered on Vodafone very me rewards. Apparently they’re normally £30.

My eBay turtle doves arrived. They are lovely and do have the turtle doves tag but they've got a black pen mark on the inside of the tag, presumably to show they are seconds just for info for anyone thinking of giving them for presents when they come back into stock.

Turtle Doves site and code seem to be working again. I've been trying to checkout all day

If anyone sees any good Sylvanian families offers, please let me know

Very disappointed with my Original Party Bag order which arrived today. About 2/3 missing and I’m wondering if they didn’t want to honour the discount on some of the items - I’ve just checked and some of the items have been relisted for sale on their website at full price or much less discounted than the prices I ordered at.

Gutted as I thought I’d finished DSs stocking and got most of his first birthday party decorations - now only a few have arrived I’ll have to find and order matching stuff.

Hope the refunds aren’t taking ages. Would have been the bargain of the year if it had all arrived!

Thanks for this. I was the first to order (I posted the deal) but haven't had mine yet. Think we all ordered at the weekend anyway so they were probably all despatched at the same time. We seem to be doubly hit by the postal strike at the minute as our posti retired and we get fill in people with only around 2 or 3 deliveries a week.

Unfortunately the molten brown offer is one that can’t be shared you have to click a link from your account that takes you to the actual deal waiting for you to checkout.

Love this thread which I found by chance last year, and which I used for bargainous inspiration!

Now my plea for help! I manage a team (all women ranging from early 30s to 60s) and I like to buy them a Christmas gift to say thanks for all their hard work during the year. I like to buy the same thing for them all and spend £10 per person. As the team has grown to 13 this year, I am looking for something lovely but as cost effective as possible. To give you an idea, last year I bought candles. Any ideas to help me out gratefully received 🙏

Mamma I buy naiice advent calendars so people have something nice every day through December

Gloves from Turtle Doves? Think there's a post up thread with a code for extra off sale £

I'd ❤️my boss forever if she got me cashmere gloves!

Popping on to recommend Wild bikes from Go Outdoors to @Ehunt1 Lightweight like the Isla and Frogs and been a great bike for my daughter, will go on to her siblings too, but much cheaper than many other brands. I managed to find a discount code at the time too and 7% cashback so felt like a real bargain.

I also ordered from Thrift+ but am slightly worried now, as these rather expensive heels, listed as ‘good condition’ are anything but!
Make sure to click through all the pictures!!!! 😱 Louboutin

Sorry, to clarify, no I didn’t buy the heels but am just worried about the condition some of the clothes I did buy may be in.

I agree @LeatherJacketWedding it all looked a bit "shrunk in the wash" to me.

Those shoes are ruined!!

Dont they come from Fenwick's?
Whenever I buy from there they send/offer me a Thrift bag and I get £5 off if I send something

Also ordered. But some of items looked utterly pants. Each item was 54p to £2 ish so I’ll be happy if half are ok

I ordered quite a lot but I was picky with what I ordered
a lot was brand new with tags and the rest were all excellent condition and I had a good look at all photos - just as I would when I’m shopping any pre loved items.

Waffle throw from Wilkos down to £6.40 each. I believe some people have found these in store. I've had to order them for delivery which cost an extra £4ish but they have great reviews & are pretty big

Trying to find these - I'm looking for fingerless gloves, do you have a link please? 🙂

@MammaRoly check out the beautiful, monogrammed frilly bamboo socks from Powder. They are the best socks ever. They feel luxurious and don’t slip down under your heel.

The best thing is that they come with the most beautiful gift bag you’ve ever seen. Google it and you’ll see what I mean - they are stunning.

I bought them for my team (exact same demographic) last year and they went down really well. Just make sure you add / request the right amount of gift bags with your order.

Honestly these socks (and all their other designs too actually - not just the monogrammed ones) make a lovely gift for under £10.

Powder monogrammed socks

Not a bargain but a freebie pitcher when you purchase a bottle of gin...

A bit niche but any Tom Gates fans, there is an advent calander on Amazon half price down to £11.50

No idea if these will actually turn up but amazon have stranger things duvet sets with a voucher for 80% off so down to £8.80.

@MammaRoly I got a china william Morris mug as a work secret Santa gift years ago and it’s still my favourite. I’ve found similar on Amazon £19.99 for 6 - you could add a hot choc sachet and a Baileys miniature to fancy it up
