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.

@BuffyFairy New Look sell hooded blankets in animal designs that are very good. I’ve bought them for my Teen DDs in the past. There are always discount codes knocking about - there is a 20% offer this weekend (sorry, deleted the email though!).

Found it! New Look 20% discount HELLONEW - valid only today I think. But if you sign up to their newsletter you can get 25% off.

@IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile
I ordered from Original Party Bag Co on the 21st and it arrived today via DPD. Everything was there, some really great stocking fillers for my two and bits and bobs for my present cupboard. I wouldn't have paid full price for much of it, but most of it was 70% off. Seems to be back down to 50% off on their website now which is odd.

My 5pound hoodies arrived today. One tie dye shrink wrapped kuddly and one navy not wrapped kuddly. Need to inspect them fully but seem ok for the price.

Craft Gin Club order arrived this morning and for the £9.95 deal price I'm very impressed. Will make a lovely gift for DB and DSIL. Thank you to whoever posted this ☺️

What was in it? #nopatience

Gruum are doing the trio again, pay only £3.95 postage.

@NoDairyNoProblem

Apologies for the crap picture - don't want to unwrap its very sturdy packaging for fear I'll break something and then no gift...

Full bottle of a Singapore dry gin, two bottles of nice looking tonic, some complementary bits of pomelo and pink pepper to drop in the drink, a tiny bottle of Angoustura bitters, small
Bottle of gin liqueur, two packs of snacks.

Not in image but also in box, can of rose blush magners cider (claimed by DH), a can of wonky fruit pressé (claimed by me) and a bar of Butlers truffle chocolate (claimed between us)!

Here's the pic

Is the gin offer still on please?

Also, @Mustangsallyis what are the use by dates like please? Thank you!

I also received my gin this morning! Identical to @Mustangsallyis i plan on splitting it all up and gifting the gin - not sure who to yet! The other bits have been claimed by dp and dc’s!
And ive cancelled the subscription now too which was easy to do.

No, looks like that deal has expired. There's 30% off on their website...

Expiry dates on snacks are jan 2023. On the bottle of gin liqueur it's oct or nov 22 and the bits to put in the drink it's dec 2022.

Thabk you! :)

@Mustangsallyis some some of the dates are pre Christmas then- that's a shame as I was hoping to give it for Xmas

I've followed these threads for a few years but am not usually very good at bargain hunting myself! This looks a good deal on Amazon - sorry for rubbish link: MEGA BLOKS ABC Learning Train Building Set, 60 Pieces Including Alphabet Blocks and 3 Wheel Bases, Toy Gift Set for Ages 1+, DXH35 amzn.eu/d/3Wmz9PN

Oh the link doesn't look so bad for once!

Sour Cherry have a £6 sale on today - cute but fairly niche jewellery

Just looked at the harumika on Bargain Max and it’s brilliant price. Is that a site people have used before? M always a bit wary of ordering from places I haven’t heard off!!

@nicky2512 Bargainmax have been around many, many years, they are a bit like being the B&M of the toy world. They are definitely safe.

I know no one really cares, but I wanted to thank everyone and share what I've bought from the thread so far.

Sharpies from The Works
BIC pens from Amazon
The Astronaut puzzle book
Slime Bath
AirPod Case (for £2!)
Socks from Sock Shop

Thanks, everyone!

*@psuedocream3 brilliant! Thank you. Don’t know how I missed that! That harumika will be perfect for a friends 7 year old. My own dd (now 20) had loads of it and played with it for years.

Anyone wanting Adidas goods or Adidas gift voucher, seems to be an offer on Groupon today. Double check the small print but looks like use until 2025 in shop or online and if you buy a gift card for £35 get another for £15 free, and if buy £50 card, get extra £25 card for free. In theory get top cashback too

Promotional card lasts until end of September but could spend it on goods for Xmas.....main card lasts until 2025 I believe

I love quirky earrings and they have some great ones at really good prices. Thanks for the link

My Original Party Bag order has also arrived but unfortunately I haven't been so lucky. Half of it is missing, typically the more expensive bits that I justified paying the postal charge for! The filler bits I added are mainly there but where they've been squashed into a too small box the packaging is crushed, fine for my dc but not so for gifting. How long has everyone waited for refunds? Not sure whether to open a PayPal case......
