Christmas Bargain Thread 1 - the one where my dad is 17

[Reastie]

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!

@IggyAce I got it for my dd yesterday 😀

Three glossy boxes ordered for teen dds.
Thanks!

I hate asking but I have searched. Was the Fossil offers just the same in the website? Thanks.

@Dee1224 I asked that question on the original Facebook page but the poster didn't know they didn't identify which box was which when she got them x

Nevermind I see the update later lol

My son has asked for canned drinks “from around the world” for Xmas this year - can anyone point me to decent websites which might sell them? Bonus for character / interesting ones! A few years I found some Japanese Pokémon ones in HMV and he’s never forgotten….

@mummydoris2006 maybe that was the only drunk elephant deal. I'm sure others will shout if one appears. I think a lot of teens and tweens are looking for the same brands!

@HeartshapedFox sometimes the American Candy type shops have canned drinks. Also try ethnic food supply shops I got some weird flavoured ones from our local Polish food shop ( we played a guess the flavour game) and I think our local Hungarian food shop has some as well. I would imagine the Chinese supermarkets would have some as well

Pretty sure these laptop rests were on here last year and that's why it's in my saved items. Anyway, currently on offer plus each one has at least a 5% voucher as well.

Sorry, both pics didn't upload...

@HeartshapedFox this was one of the weirdest I have ever had

Danes like chocolate milk in cans- cocio is best, but never seen it in cans here. This might work:

Saltrock have an up to 70% sale on. I’ve just bought this Microfibre changing towel for ds3 along with a couple of other bits. My 3 boys all love Saltrock.

@HeartshapedFox there's a shop in Darlington called Andy's Candy Bar and they have loads of random sweets and drinks from all over the world - they have a Facebook page and I'm sure they'd post out to you.

Oh thanks. I brought from them for the first time last year when it was mentioned on here and love my t-shirt and hoodie

4 Glossy boxes for £16, that’s a great offer! I didn’t see the bundles and have just ordered 4 separately, as well as a couple of others as I specifically wanted them for certain people for gifts.
Also ordered the men’s one, will decide later if that will go to DH or DS.

Also jumped on the Gruum deal.

This thread is dangerous, I don’t usually start my shopping this early! But some great finds so far.
I did get a bit carried away last year, I need to be more disciplined this year (clearly not off to the best start!)

The hata and ramune bottles are the old style ones with a marble in to stop the flow. My nephews loved those (some of these cans look cute too….

@HeartshapedFox also, Ocado have warheads sour soda cans. Don’t know what they are like, but they look fun.

Space NK has a free gift with purchase if you spend over 75 on skincare, easily done with Drunk Elephant prices. As an aside, Drunk Elephant is quite serious skincare, some strong ingredients in it so if you don’t know the brand be careful what you buy, I wouldn’t get it for my tween.
Cult Beauty often have 15-20% off and they stock it too.

For anyone looking for a pressie idea for an 8-12 year old, can I suggest an ice cream roll maker? My daughter loves having them when we go on holiday and she just got a small maker for her birthday and absolutely loves it - she just uses liquid yoghurt and crumbles fruit / cookies into it while it sets. There’s one in Costco for about £30 which comes with all of the accessories or you can buy a simple one with the scrapers from various sources, including Amazon for £10-20.
As a Christmas gift this would be great packaged up with some sprinkles, cookies etc. in fact I think this is a good present for any adults who like frozen yoghurt too!
Personally, I got one from Temu which worked out at less than £5 after the 50% discount, and it’s the exact same one which is available on Amazon.

There’s plenty of referral codes for Temu over on the bargains & promo codes board if you go down that route.

You are an actual genius! My eldest would love this, thank you

@MayaTheBusyBee my shortbread arrived this morning. I'm very pleased with it.

This is so cute tomy E.T teddy lights, sounds, heartbeat and music reduced to £9.36 at amazon

Thanks @hby9628

The best of sport game £5.69 amazon

Hi, would someone share the extra fossil code please, I'm sorry I can't see it.
