Thanks @snowmanshoes for the title!

Hello everyone, so nice to see you all. Pull up a chair, have a mince pie and a peppermint latte and share your Christmas bargains and ideas. In message two are the links and info from last year - if anyone has anything they'd like me to amend or add, please do tag me and I'll update.

A reminder not to post affiliate links in the thread but that MN do change amazon links shared by posters into MN affiliate links.

Please do watch the thread rather than post to mark place to make it easier for everyone to keep up and find relevant info.

A massive thank you to those who have contributed and/or run the prequel threads this year. I can't believe it's another year! I started these when DD was a baby and she's just gone into Year 8!

Wetbrushes are half price at Boots - I know a PP mentioned them. Full size are £6 and the minis £3.49. It’s Dd 16 favourite hairbrush so have bought one of each for her stocking. Lots of colours available.

Carolwithane · 13/09/2023 06:42

@Barbiefan I can only see them for £47 on Amazon. I am not spending that, it'll be a chocolate one at this rate

I have just posted on the advent calendar thread too, but the MacMillan advent calendar is on boots star buys today reduced from a crazy £90 to £44 .

Thanks for all the 90s help everyone. It’s coming along nicely and with some great bargains!

I have also bought a couple of glossy boxes. Will be interesting to see whats in the mystery ones!!!

Wolfcub · 13/09/2023 08:07

Thank you for the glossy box link. I'm going to buy the winter box and split between me and a friend

UrbanMage · 13/09/2023 09:48

Bought all 4 of the glossy box mystery boxes. For me.

dizzygirl1 · 13/09/2023 09:52

I succumbed to glosseybox, 2 mystery and a men's. I know dd16 is making hampers for her friends so they could go in there too. I used topcashback and I have £1.50 tracking at the moment .

Ooh these look good, are they for a certain hair type?

Could someone link this thread please? I need inspiration..
Haven't found a bargain for it, but would recommend the playmobil farm advent calendar. DD still plays with hers 2 years later.

Does anyone know of any vouchers to make the marvel Lego advent calendar a bit cheaper? £30 is a lot!

If you know anyone with a Costco card it may be worth them keeping an eye out, I know they had the Star Wars lego advent calendar in last week for £21.50 (incl. the VAT)

Can you report back with the contents? Although I'm not sure how you'll know which is which 🤣
Looking for items for tween DD

Callmesleepy · 13/09/2023 10:21

@MaMaMaBelle wasn't the Playmobil advent calendar on brand alley?

UrbanMage · 13/09/2023 10:22

@GirlWithTheYellowHat will do

CandyCaneLane0 · 13/09/2023 10:23

10% off at Bloom Boutique code SUMMER10
They've also got a sale on

Doopydoo · 13/09/2023 10:24

@Famousthehero thanks very much for the Glossybox. I bought the set of three mystery boxes for £12. It’s £3.95 postage which isn’t bad.

Conqueeftador · 13/09/2023 10:39

naked marshmallow people who ordered on the 3rd, I’ve just had a notification to say mine have been shipped, so hopefully everyone else will have theirs shipped today too.

Sallylovesdaisy · 13/09/2023 10:40

@Famousthehero thanks so much for the Glossy Box tip. Just bought all 4 mystery boxes, plus a free simply cook box and free postage. Well chuffed with that little lot. Ideal for Christmas Eve boxes for 2 teenage granddaughters.

Kissmas · 13/09/2023 10:40

Thanks for the glossy boxes. Ordered one of each mystery box and got free delivery! £20 and 4 presents sorted!

TheBigFish · 13/09/2023 11:19

My Naked Marshmallows (ordered on the 3rd) just arrived. I'm thrilled. They look so good, much bigger pack than I was expecting and best before dates all March 2024 and beyond. These are the S'Mores kits with vanilla marshmallows.

Yalz · 13/09/2023 11:20

@MaMaMaBelle here's the link to the Boots Macmillan Advent Calendar you asked for.

SadlyACupOfTeaDoesNotSolveEverything · 13/09/2023 11:30

Very impressed with the speed of Gruum dispatch.

@Nightsku
Where do you buy the camera film from?
