Thread 7 - the one with the hook a fuck game

[Reastie]

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

A bit of competition for the thread title this time - thanks for all the contenders and nominees and @Someaddedsugar for the title. This says a lot about your phones autocorrect I think 🤣

If you have a referral link for a website, do post it on this thread

A reminder not to use affiliate links in the thread.

See post 2 for some (hopefully) useful links.

How to do click links -

Do two [[

Paste in your link without a space between the [ and the start of the link
Do one space at the end of the link
Write what you want to appear instead of the link
Put 2 ]] at the end without a space between the end of the word(s) at the end and the ]]
So it looks like www.reastieschristmasbargains.co.uk click here but with no space between the and the start of the link and the next to the here

I hope that makes sense…

Present tracking apps might be of interest eg Santas bag, gift list.

Here are some useful websites:

Amazon free delivery tool here

Aliexpress www.aliexpress.com here . Useful tips here from sorryiasked: Aliexpress is a Chinese site that sells everything! Assume all branded stuff is fake. I personally wouldn't buy baby toys or electronics from there as I don't have faith in the product safety. But for fan merchandise, dolls clothes, "lego", household items etc it's great. Check the size guide on clothes and lower your expectations!
Use a seller who has a 4.5 star rating or higher.

You can pay via PayPal and there is an excellent tracking system, but be aware express postage is usually 2-3 weeks and standard postage up to 2-3 months.

Bargainmax here

Camelcamelcamel is a brilliant site that tracks prices on amazon here

Lisa angel sale is popular when on, apparently arrive nicely packaged too here

Magazine subscription offers here and here

Netpricedirect has discount toys and party bits here although be aware reviews of the site is mixed

Toys for a pound here

Any additional websites or recommendations to add - just let me know . I should add something about Ali express maybe as we’ve had that before…will get my brain thinking about what other sites/products have been popular.

First time ever making a thread title - I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed @Reastie 🤣! Thanks for the new thread ❤️

Checking in. Thanks for the new thread Reastie.

Morning everyone.
Not a bargain as such but Body Shop have their Christmas range in stock.

Free delivery from Debenhams with code SPOOKYSZN

It's feeling Christmassy today. Cold where I am and I'm wrapping the last of the present pile with plans for the Christmas cake later. Asda delivery slot booked for 23rd December too!

Has anyone had any of the kuddly cloud sliders before? Tempted as I have plantar fasciitis but would like a recommendation before I splurge!

Checking in xx

@Irritatedmum have you tried Oofus? DH suffers with the same and he swears by Oofus now, he's got sliders to wear around the house and trainers for outside.

Free 20 page 8 x 6 soft cover photo book from snapfish with the code FB2022 (assume it is generic) - just have to pay postage which I think is £2.99

£25 off an £85+ spend at Hotel Chocolate. Think I am finally going to get a velvetiser!

www.gohomie.co.uk/products/domino-train-blocks-set?variant=43255334600955

Think this looks good for toddlers!

Kidly have an up to 50% off sale on at the moment.

It’s still not the cheapest but there are some good deals: Kidly

Orchard Toys on offer at boots, they don’t show as reduced but some are less than 50% normal price

Checking in ... think I'm almost done!!

Bought lots of bargains from this thread this year. Now I'm just waiting on a discount for Emma Bridgewater and I'm hoping for free postage on Lego so I can order the fish tank for £25.00!!

Just came here to post this too, so is definitely a generic code. Just got mine 😁

I'm just impressed your phone corrects to 'fuck'; mine resolutely sticks to 'duck' no matter how hard I try to train it! 🤣🤣

That's a good discount. I think I'm going for it too.

@NoWordForFluffy you can alter that in your settings. I have, because I type fuck infinitely more often than duck.

Thanks for the heads up about Asda slots - I have booked for the 23rd

Ordering the photo book now!! Thanks

I have never used them before- are they any good?
