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 Grin . 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.

Waystation · 22/11/2022 18:53

Mint velvet 20% off with BLACK20

BeaLola · 22/11/2022 18:54

I don't know how you guys get the chocolate - I can only ever see it for £8 - they are probably trying to save me from something !

I have seen the Milk hair product tho for £8.50 - just wondering if any good for fine hair that isnt coloured?

SpaceNK have started 25% off certain items on website
Bloom&Wild have I think 25% off with X266K

Fuckingfuckssake · 22/11/2022 18:55

30% off everything at Anthropologie including Jellycat, they don't have the biggest selection though.

Junobug · 22/11/2022 18:58

Joanie have got 40% off everything for Black Friday. I love my Joanie dress from last year's threads and get loads of complements so can't wait to get another.

APotatoFlewAcrossTheRoomLastNightExcuseTheMess · 22/11/2022 19:01

@BeaLola i have fine (coloured) hair and the milk treatment is great, I bought it for £8.00 a few days ago so the price is good. It's one of the things that says it adds volume and it actually does! It's nice and light... Smells amazing too!

Choccymumma · 22/11/2022 19:05

Whats the chocolate deal please? Sorry, late to the party 😆

Lifewillbethedeathofme · 22/11/2022 19:07

Thank you for the link to the beer calender, I couldn't find it!

Annie1290 · 22/11/2022 19:08

Can anyone recommend a cocktail making set? More bargainous the better, goddamn December birthdays 🙄

BonnesVacances · 22/11/2022 19:12

Whoever was looking for Christmas crackers on the last thread, there are loads of nice ones on Etsy that support small businesses. We've just ordered these that have little Kawaii figures in.

Octoberfishing · 22/11/2022 19:13

Oh God. Welcome to the Choccy Hole of Death.

Every so often 850g Dairy Milk drops from about £8 to about £3 on Amazon and we all go mental trying (and failing) to add it to our baskets.

Then someone posts on here that they managed it and we all congratulate them whilst secretly hating them.

gawditswindy · 22/11/2022 19:13

Checking in. I've given up on the chocolate but went for the 3 for £5 after eights instead. Plus a couple of 75p chocolate orange from Morrisons.

Needtostartover · 22/11/2022 19:16

@Octoberfishing 🤣🤣

CheeseIsMyPatronus · 22/11/2022 19:17

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 22/11/2022 19:33
