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

Oops didn't realise we had a new thread!

Does anyone have a matalan code? I swear I've never had one in all the years I've had my card, and need to do a big kids order!

I think that's me done for Christmas now!
I'll still be keeping an eye out as I like to buy a few toys/gift boxes etc for the food bank so I'm still on the hunt for major bargains!

I've seen a few pieces of NEOM in store and online in tk maxx, you can't search for it though as it's a hidden brand.

MerylSqueak · 12/11/2022 19:43

Look Fantastic have 50% off selected products with EXTRA10 giving another 10% off. There's a good Clinique set if anyone is looking.

Cuwins · 12/11/2022 19:44

Thank you whoever mentioned the Rex London sale. Brought a Bluetooth shower speaker for my partner £4.99 reduced from £19.99

@Octoberfishing
"Muffed up the link" Grin I'm going to start using that expression!

IggyAce · 12/11/2022 19:57

Thanks for the new thread.
Just got my dh aftershave Armani He for £26 from Superdrug, very happy with that price.

redjoker · 12/11/2022 20:12

Checking in here mince pie in hand! Wine

PlainJaneSuperBrain99 · 12/11/2022 20:15

Thanks for new thread.

Lovemusic33 · 12/11/2022 20:18

Thank you for the new thread, marking my place as the last thread passed me by 🤣.

gawditswindy · 12/11/2022 20:18

Checking in with another recommendation for the crushed grapes box. (Sorry!) Loads of wine for £4 and we used our £10 voucher on a case so they got a customer out of it too.

Octoberfishing · 12/11/2022 20:23

My Degustabox advent calendar arrived yesterday and it's massive! Not sure what I was expecting...

Love the new thread title 😆

Givealittlebit · 12/11/2022 20:29

Not a sale (yet!) but the Lisa angel clearance has some lovely little bits in, definitely worth a look!

I dithered about this. Is the offer still on? If so, would you be so kind to remind me of it?

Whyisitsodifficult · 12/11/2022 20:36

Is it my imagination or a few years ago was there a deal on personalised Nutella jars? 🤔

I think you can buy Nutella style labels on Etsy that you stick on jars yourself?

minirollmuncher · 12/11/2022 20:58

Does anyone have a code for UGGS? Xx

user1466167893 · 12/11/2022 20:58

Thank you so much for recommendations for remote control car. I slipped off the thread trying to get Peter Kay tickets (I failed!). Off to look now whilst DS still writes Lego on his Xmas list 😂

minirollmuncher · 12/11/2022 21:00

Or a John Lewis code, desperate for slippers

Puffalicious · 12/11/2022 21:01

Thanks for the new thread, Reastie!

AlpineTrek have 15-20% off lots of stuff. I just ordered a Didrikson's jacket for DS1 - you rarely see them on an offer. 7.5% TCB too- a little bonus as the price is high!

Thanks to PP for the heads up on No7. I was delighted to see 2 referrals there, so £20 for me! Huge thanks if you used my code. I was so chuffed to order myself a mascara and DH some lovely men's toiletries, and only pay the princely sum of £13. I love these threads!

DS2 is 16 tomorrow and I'm excited to see his face over the 'extras' I've procured from the Urban Outfitter's sale + 30% code. I really did get some bargains, ans he's not expecting any of it!

I do love, love, love these threads. Thank you all.

Thegoldgrind · 12/11/2022 21:02

The Degusta Box Advent Calendar is still available on Groupon with 12% off, that also stacks with the code WEEKEND which gives 20% off, bringing the price down to £29.56. You can also get 6% off on tcb!
