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!

Made my first thread purchase with the the wet brush, thank you!

FYI Amazon are changing prime membership to £95 year from 15th September so be sure to get what you can before then! 😱

Wasn't this from 2022?!

Valentte are a small company that make beautiful candles/wax melts and perfumes etc, I noticed they had an offer on Facebook, just pay for postage (3 pound something) and they'll send a tray of their best selling wax melts, a hand-wash and a small bottle of one of their own perfumes, all in a cotton pouch, would make a lovely gift for someone, or you know, yourself...

I used this offer and here's what I got (when checking out it offered me a couple of extra free samples).

I think the box of wax melts is very pretty and gift-able to someone who loves using them, but everything else I'll keep for us to try out.

My naked marshmallows s'mores kits have arrived and I am thrilled with them!! They look so good for £12.50 and the marshmallows are in date until next March.

Have I missed out on this or was there a code? Sorry!

DollyDaisyDo · 14/09/2023 20:11

Just tried to buy the Valentte set which looks lovely but can't pay by PayPal despite the logo being on there.

always a bit vary about giving my credit card details - anyone managed to pay by PayPal?

HeyBearKeepsMeSane · 14/09/2023 20:16

@FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee sorry it was a sale which ended last week!

mrsanflowerpot · 14/09/2023 20:22

I missed yesterday as DS had an asthma attack and only just home from hospital. The glossybox outlets I can see are all £10, did I miss the £5 ones?

BoopK · 14/09/2023 20:26

@hby9628 Thanks for this, that's reassuring. I ordered the Grazia one (absolute bloody bargain, all for meee!! Thanks to whoever posted it)

Afraid so. Hope your DS is ok Flowers

Thanks for the heads up in the half price fcuk gift sets, that’s dh & ds stocking toiletries sorted.

Scout2016 · 14/09/2023 20:52

Does anyone know when Mutha.hood tend to have sales please?
They do have some reduced things now but I was think the 20% off everything type ones.

Sallylovesdaisy · 14/09/2023 21:01

Hi @DollyDaisyDo I couldn't pay by PayPal, had to use my bank card

Hibernatalie · 14/09/2023 21:19

@FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee there was a 50% off sale posted on the last thread - don't know if it is still on

ExPreschoolTrustee · 14/09/2023 21:32

I have looked back but can't see who posted the link for the free pair of boxer shorts but they look fab

I have put a link on the referral thread - I'll get some credits or something

Basically a subscription service for men's or boys undies - but the first pair is free and you can then cancel
Sign up with PayPal for free or £1 for a credit card
Put in a calendar reminder to cancel - or you will be charged £9.99 - but you'll get another pair of pants of your choice if you did forget and it looks like a bonus third pair on the second delivery

I have an entertainer birthday code that I’m not using. Not sure if it’s just for me or anyone can use it. PM if anyone wants to try.

I've just made an order and used PayPal. It didn't work first time but I just pressed it again and it went to PayPal on the se one try.

£10 off a £50 at New Look with BUYNOW

Can anyone who's used the wet brush on curly hair tell me if they're any good? 2 of my sons have the such curly hair, but one of them gets terrible matting at the back and it's a nightmare to comb through. Would this wet brush be worth getting for him?

MmmALovelyBitOfSquirrel · 14/09/2023 22:05

@dramalamma the OnThatAss boxers we got last week are good. My son has some and they're washing really well and he says they're comfy, he's basically wearing them every other day after I'm washing them! 🤣

TopCashBack has 8.5% for Boots. Ends at midnight tonight. I've just bought my DSs the FCUK boxers giftset, thanks to pp for mentioning the Boots offers!

Absolutely yes!
My little girl is super curly and we use wet brush in bath after conditioner! Hope this helps xx
