Does anyone have any discounts for marks and spencers? or do you know if they do a black friday sale for menswear? I want a merino wool v neck fine knit jumper for DH, and some jeans, and I've found the perfect ones, but I am apparently allergic to paying full price after spending too much time on these threads! Thanks :)

Do you have a Sparks account? If not, it night be worth signing up. I've got a few offers popping up this week like 20% off in certain depts. I'm guessing it's replaced the old style 20% vouchers.

@impossiblerequest I had a look in my local Entertainer today and the only ones they had were with the code ending 020. Sorry!

This is still on offer, its really weighty and makes a really nice gift!

Just tried the link and it's back up at £9.60 :(

Did you go all the way to checkout? its applied there

I said yesterday but Amazon’s dynamic pricing really is driving me mad!

So it is - brilliant! Thanks so much :D

I’ve got a £15 off code at Adidas if you spend £45 or more.
It’s personal to me, but would anyone like it and I can PM them?

PlainJaneSuperBrain99 · 15/11/2022 15:11

Hoping the hive mind can help me with this. I've already bought my nephew most of his gift, and my sil has just said he'd like a cardboard igloo type thing. They have these for £18 im hobbycraft, which is more than I want to spend as I've already bought most of his gift.

Hoping for either a cheaper alternative (although my Google efforts have been fruitless) or a discount code for hobbycraft. Any suggestions welcome.

I have the grey one of those and it’s wonderfully warm and snuggly.

How about this one from The Range?

If you were looking for inexpensive gardening gloves Waitrose have theirs in a sale. £3 for a 3 pack of fabric ones or a pair of more rubbery type ones and £6 for nice pale blue and ivory leather gloves. The latter two were one size so no good for fat fingers unfortunately but looked decent quality.

Thank you so much for looking - I really appreciate it 💐

SBAM · 15/11/2022 15:28

@PlainJaneSuperBrain99 if you sign up for a hobbycraft loyalty card they send a £5 voucher for your birthday.
I’m sure I’ve also seen those cardboard castle/tent/train kits cheaper when there’s been a sale so if you can hang on until Black Friday there might be a deal?

BloodyMabel · 15/11/2022 15:31

@Pawport there is a refer a friend scheme on body shop if you’re a new customer? Don’t know if it will work with the advents but I can send you a link if that helps.

You can also get voucher for spending over a set amount on voucher cloud.

(You should still sign up for top cashback though!)

Sorry for more oodie talk but what brands of hooded blankets are good please that aren't oodies? Don't want to do the £5 thing I don't think. For 9 year old niece.

I bought the oversized blanket hoodie from New Look for my 9 year old (in a size small) and have been very happy with it’s quality. I think there’s 20% off if you sign up to their newsletter or usually other 15% off codes knocking about.

They had similar in The Range for about £12.99 I think. Had a look online but it’s not showing the ones I saw in store. There was a Christmas gingerbread type house and a Christmas ‘candy’ shop which I think was the same price.

It's also half price at Tescos (£6) with a clubcard for those that don't do Amazon.

@animalcrossingfan2021 i don’t have top cash back yet, every year after seeing it talked about on these threads I think I’ll sign up but then never get round to it. If they do cash back for body shop I think I’ll give it a go, thanks for the heads up. Do you have a refer a friend that gets you some cash back/points or whatever? (Not sure exactly how it works). If you do, pop it on the referral thread and I’ll use yours.

@pawport i will add my referral to the thread once I’m home. If you want I can pm you with how to get extra through using top gift cards as well as topcashback. You will get around 10% cashback on your advent calendar 😀

Pawport · 15/11/2022 15:57

Ooh yes please @BloodyMabel worth a try!
And yes please @animalcrossingfan2021 , that sounds great 😀
Thanks both, much appreciated 💐

Chocolateteabag · 15/11/2022 16:01

Has anyone seen a FatFace code? Do they do anything for Black Friday?

onmywayamarillo · 15/11/2022 16:02

Nars are currently doing a 40% off selected items

If you sign up you get 15% off nit on sale items

Might be worth waiting for the black friday sale which is going to be epic apparently 😬

PlainJaneSuperBrain99 · 15/11/2022 16:05

Thanks for the igloo suggestions, you guys are amazing.

I'll visit my nearest range and hope they have a non Christmassy one. Failing that, I believe I'm due a December birthday at hobbycraft 😉

They go down to £10 every other week so probably just wait if you're comfortable doing that

I'm after some nice bamboo socks for DS (shoe size adult size 6). Any suggestions for deals on men's or women's bamboo socks?
