Looks like we need another thread so here goes. I'll stick the usual top of thread messages in a follow on post.

Please don't post affiliate links here, they need to go in the referral thread

@Yalz That is true! And how could I resist the cuddling a ball of string Grin Do work for them? Wink

Sorry if this has already been posted but Clarins has a great deal on today which gives up to 17 free samples if you’re spending over £25 or even more if you’re buying something more expensive. You need to use the code CLARINSNHS (which is being freely passed around on the internet so not sure if it’s a blue light code).

I decided to bite the bullet and get my double serum and instead of the code above I used the code MYROUTINE and got three samples of my choice, an 8-sample self care kit and a multi active anti-ageing kit of my choice with three bigger samples in a nice bag.

however, you can spend only £25, use the first code and get a ton of samples too.

topcashback is about 9% or thereabouts too and the second code is quoted on TCB so shouldn’t affect cashback.

Not the most exciting bargain but an OK stocking filler I guess:

5 pack of 2m usb cables (braded wire) ~6.60 after 30% off voucher is applied

Hi, just jumping on (been on these threads for years but not active for a while!). Hi!

Thanks for the kidly rainbows. They are gorgeous and heavy. A pp said too bendy for building but mine is going to my 15 year old for her room so probably not an issue Grin

I just got tickets to My Fair Lady for £20 each through M&S Sparks. Only certain venues and certain dates but a massive bargain if the dates work for you.

Is there any chance we could start a new thread for comparing quality/branding of the fake oodies? Just to free up this thread for other bargains.

Yes please

Yalz · 12/11/2022 01:08

I’ve just checked my Sparks offers and there’s nothing about My Fair Lady there.

Perhaps they are being wise and carefully targeting, as the closest venue to me is over 100 miles away.

imnottoofussed · 12/11/2022 01:54

Ooh fab I got the my fair lady offer

I'm another one who is not convinced that the hoodies are genuine oodies. Not a problem if you just want a warm over sized hoodie and not fussed by brand names, obviously. The genuine Oodie website regularly go out of stock on a lot of designs, so I don't understand where the overstock comes from. For example, the otter design has been out of stock for a little while on the website so when/where did the overstock come from? It doesn't make sense.

I feel exactly the same. The green dog now in stock is not the same as my son's genuine one- the dogs look quite different, more cartoony than they are on the original. Probably very warm, but not an original, and I have issues with ripping off another brand- just make your own design and sell it as a wearable blanket.

@Cuwins I’ve bought from Conscious Craft a few times. They are a reputable small business (and the shop of my dreams!)

Martinisarebetterdirty · 12/11/2022 07:24

@NoWordForFluffy I dropped them a note to let them know about the leak (not a complaint as you say but just feedback so they can check the packaging a bit more carefully). I think it’s such a good idea and after their generous codes would hate for them to have to refund everyone or issue replacements. They’d go bankrupt!
In terms of the oodie 5poundstuff, some will be genuine seconds and some will be the True whatever it was brand, you can tell by the model, the otter cat model was the only one worn by a woman (that I saw), the others were worn by the man who advertises for True.
Didn’t we agree last year to keep the chat as that’s what makes this board so lovely but to put new bargains in bold so people can scroll on past if they aren’t interested? That seemed to work quite well

NoWordForFluffy · 12/11/2022 07:29

That's good to know, @Martinisarebetterdirty. Hopefully they're able to do something to prevent it happening (even if they have to pass it up up the chain to their pouch manufacturer).

redjoker · 12/11/2022 08:21

40% off at ESPA today and 2 free samples over a certain spend

Twinsandsome · 12/11/2022 08:31

Hi would anyone have a NEW LOOK code please? Xx

psuedocream3 · 12/11/2022 08:39

@Twinsandsome 30% off £125 - D45-EW8X-XH3K-ERNN
It was posted on this thread but maybe a bit lost between the discussion of oodies/wine

Givealittlebit · 12/11/2022 08:42

@Martinisarebetterdirty bargains in bold sounds fab, but can someone repost a tutorial for me 😂

Also would it even be a bargain thread without the debate over what's allowed and what's not?! 😂 swear this never happened as much until a few years ago! I shall continue just merrily reading and mince pie munching whilst I bargain hunt 🎅🏻

Twinsandsome · 12/11/2022 08:48

@psuedocream3 aww thanks but it keeps coming up promo cream could not be redeemed it’s maybe already been used xx

psuedocream3 · 12/11/2022 08:53

@Twinsandsome it may not work on everything in your basket, may need to play around a little but it's not one use. There is also HURRY15 for 15% off too.

NightOwl101 · 12/11/2022 08:54

Twinsandsome · 12/11/2022 08:31

Hi would anyone have a NEW LOOK code please? Xx

I have a 20% off men's or a general 10% if that's any use?

Purpleheadgirl · 12/11/2022 08:55

@Twinsandsome try this for New look, says 20% full price but think its only single use DVN-56BX-DG5B-5DGX

Restlessinthenorth · 12/11/2022 09:07

@Martinisarebetterdirty I did the same. Just advised it was constructive feedback about how the product arrived and that there was no need for a response from them.

Sisisimone · 12/11/2022 09:09

NoWordForFluffy · 11/11/2022 21:13

I paid for mine (albeit with the 50% code, but about £27 in total) and they're presents.

Giving feedback on leaking pouches also isn't the same as complaining. I'm sure they'd want to know.

Fluffy the 'leak' on one of mine was just a tiny little watermark on one of the labels. It wouldn't stop me giving as a gift or prevent any enjoyment as a recipient. The boxes are a really nice gift and I've just ordered a couple more for delivery dates nearer Christmas. They also have boxes of Malbec on a black friday offer 6 bottles for 35 so if you use the £10 off in your taster box it's an amazing offer. I think I'll order a box for Xmas day.

Magik01 · 12/11/2022 09:14

I agree regarding clogging up the chat with the fake/real oodies. I decided to message the company see if they would give any clarification to but an end to the speculation.

Hi,
Thanks for contacting us.
We have purchased a clearance of blanket hoodies which is mostly unbranded but we got some stock of different brands. We are selling blanket hoodies after cutting labels of brands. We can not tell you what you will get in order but it is surely a bargain price. Our customers are happy after buying these blanket hoodies.
Kind Regards

Make if that what you will. 😂

Irritatedmum · 12/11/2022 09:20

@Twinsandsome promo cream 😂

Notlongnow1 · 12/11/2022 09:25

20% off Bobbin bikes with HAPPYCYCLING20

Can't remember who it was looking sorry!

minirollmuncher · 12/11/2022 09:27

My three oodies came today.

Otter, avocado and panda.

Otter came with full oodie packaging and grey bag.

Panda and avocado are oodies but with label cut off.

I have a genuine pizza oodie from last year and these all feel and look the exact same.
