Thread 5 - the one with 2 turtle dove gloves and all sharing the bargain love....s

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

Title is inspired by the turtle doves/gloves and in my head it's set to the 12 days of Christmas. I'm actually tempted for us to think up a new 12 days of Christmas nearer the time with all of our best bargains Grin

Yes absolutely. There are little recipe cards in with alternate suggestions included. We’ve substituted various forms of protein and ended up with some lovely meals.

I’ve spent the last hour scrolling through the previous threads trying to find a recommendation from last month but my eyes are going square.

a few threads back (I think) someone recommended a quality footwear company which was offering a code for an additional 30-35% off. There were some lovely real sheepskin slippers for about £30 which I should have got at the time but I forgot.

can anyone, by any chance, recall the name of the website and the code? I’ll keep looking through the old threads but if anyone knows what I’m talking about it would save me time and save my poor eyes.

thanks in advance!

Could someone PM me what they got in their papergang box?

Mustangsallyis · 08/10/2022 13:23

Not sure how to PM but this is what I got in papergang box. Nice enough at a discount but def not worth the £15 full price IMO

christmaspudding43 · 08/10/2022 13:28

Thanks @Mustangsallyis

AlabamaWorley22 · 08/10/2022 13:36

@OutofControl3 you are my hero!! I was even searching for ‘red’ as I had a feeling it began with that. Thank you so much!

coolpattern · 08/10/2022 13:42

@Someaddedsugar You’re just
too lovely, thank you so much. I don’t seem to be able to pm you from my phone though, can you try to send me a message? ❤️

LateNightTalking · 08/10/2022 13:46

My Papergsng box is the same as @Mustangsallyis and I agree, it's nice for the offer but I'd be disappointed if I'd paid £15 for it.

STom2 · 08/10/2022 13:57

Just ordered the papergang box. Are people waiting for confirmation it has been shipped before cancelling the subscription?

A reminder to check your bank accounts and to cancel your Radio Times subscription as my £1 has just been debited.

Do you cancel after payment or at the end of the trial?

Sheknowtheyrhinestones · 08/10/2022 14:18

I have the same paper gang box and I agree it is not worth £15, it is also too grown up for my daughter and she's not interested which is a shame as I would have continued the subscription for her. We spend around £20 a month on stationary. The website showed lovely patterned stationary and cards etc which she would have enjoyed sending to family and friends

SomethingOfTheNight · 08/10/2022 14:27

@Sheknowtheyrhinestones

I've always cancelled as soon as the first direct debit has been taken and have always then received the magazines.

Bluegingerbread · 08/10/2022 14:31

I think I have the same Papergang box - was it in the zigzag multicoloured box? I haven't opened it but I googled and I think it's that one. Not worth anywhere near the full amount to me and also disappointed that the box is battered by post. At the offer price it's a handy extra gift for teen dd but not tempted to subscribe. I guess if we've all got the same box it's because subscribers didn't like it and they have lots left. Kind of makes sense but won't tempt new sign ups.

I was disappointed too. For the postage fee it will do as a stocking filler but no way its worth the usual £20.

Sisisimone · 08/10/2022 14:43

Also worth bearing in mind that if you are thinking of the papergang box for a gift it arrives with a large sticky address label just slapped on the actual box which you can't get off without tearing. There's no packaging which is guess is why pp arrived all battered

DuchessOfDisco · 08/10/2022 14:52

thank you @Mustangsallyis I’ve gone ahead and ordered one as it will be a good filler present for dd(18). But I think I’ll definitely cancel the subscription, doesn’t look quite worth £15

LaTangerina · 08/10/2022 15:16

Very has a good discount on lego & other kids toys today. 24-30 %

Theraffarian · 08/10/2022 15:22

Same papergang box here , fine for the postage and will work as a stocking filler but wouldn’t subscribe . The address label actually peeled off really easily , looks like the Amazon ones but peeled off in one go without leaving any trace.

chillimice · 08/10/2022 15:24

Irritatedmum · 08/10/2022 12:34

@chillimice how did you order a second?

I just used a different email and it seemed to work.. ps my favourite mn tip from this thread ever was to use a hairdryer slightly melt the glue and peel labels off the outside of boxes without leaving a mark!

DuchessOfDisco · 08/10/2022 15:31

for shipping labels use a hairdryer on them and then they peel of cleanly

LikeSilver · 08/10/2022 15:38

I won £10 off buyagift at maccies which I won’t use. If anyone would like it you need to go to mcdbuyagift.co.uk and redeem the code 3RKP7TQTB8G8

Haudyourwheesht · 08/10/2022 16:05

Those who got a Papergang box, how did you cancel your subscription? I'm maybe missing it but it doesn't seem obvious on their website.

dawnky1983 · 08/10/2022 16:18

How long did everyone linger on the Ok beauty box page before the pop up appeared? No sign for me ☹️

dawnky1983 · 08/10/2022 16:20

If you’re doing it on your phone turn it on it’s side when you’re on the subscriptions page it’s right at the end of the line!
