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!

If you’re looking for Williams team merch Crew Clothing sell it and they normally have discount codes available. Bought DH a t-shirt last year and it’s lovely quality.

Also if you’re a Costco member, they have pop up shops selling Mercedes and Ferrari clothing. You can check what pop up is coming to your local Costco by looking in the events section.

@Peabody25 I’ve only just had a chance to check out the books you linked too. DS is an excellent reader although he doesn’t read for pleasure. I think he would enjoy a fiction gaming book though for bedtime, thank you! Think I’ll get the David Badeil one!

@noodledoodler thank you for thinking of me !

@Joevanswell primark had some in their sale for around £20. Really good quality if they still have them!

I’ve just ordered a baby doll specifically for use in the bath from the ELC (although bought at M&S). We saw her in the store last week and my dd(3) loved hers she’s on offer at the moment at under £20.

The Barbie dreamtopia mermaids are also great. They are on offer a lot at the money. I got one in Tesco a while back for £6.

If any of you need any sporting stuff, Fanatics have a 30% off code at the moment.
I know they do codes pretty regularly but not sure if they will be this high again.
If you have an NFL fan in your life it's a good place to shop. X

Not Christmassy, except that I want it before Christmas, but does anyone know if the sofas at next ever go into the sale (and if they do whether they still offer 0% credit on them)?

Just a heads up, I got rid of my next sofa about 3 months after getting it. It was so uncomfortable.

I missed the RedBubble 40% off 🙄

I’ve found a 15% off influencer code, but does anyone have anything better?

(cheekily it is for a birthday rather than Xmas, but if anyone has a code it’s you guys)

Came here to say this - bloody love ours! Hob to oven/grill to dishwasher. Amazing! Plus take up hardly any space to store.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Tesco toy sale starts tomorrow

@Gustavo1 thank you! Mine is turning 3, this sounds great, do you know what it's called please?

@Ginny26 its this one https://www.marksandspencer.com/bathtime-doll-18-mths/p/hbp22541648#intid=pid_pg1pip13g2r4c1%7Cprodflag_Offer] baby doll

Clucket87 have you ordered from them before? I was just about to place a decent sized order and then checked the trust pilot reviews which were all awful so now I'm not sure I should risk it?! 😬

I've heard bad things about Next sofas from friends too.

Does anyone know anything about Ninja? My dd has asked for a Ninja Creami which is way out of budget at £200. I've told her it's out of the question but of course i am now wondering if there's some little Christmas miracle I can pull off with your help. Do they have a good Black Friday sale or anything like that?

Just checked CamelCamelCamel for you. Lowest price of £149 was Dec 22. That was on Amazon. Ninja do their own sales. They are also sold by John Lewis. I think the price is likely to drop around Black Friday.

Ninja Black Friday predictions

@Statsinyoureyes
Leave it a couple of days. Mine was 2 or 3 days later.

@MerylSqueak
Money Saving Expert recently did an exclusive code that made the Creami £120, direct from the brand site, so I'd personally sign up to mailing lists and wait for Black Fri/Christmas sales to pay around £120 - £140.

@MerylSqueak final comment from me in the Creami. Would you consider second hand? There are some on eBay.

Thank you @Dreamingofwalden @evtheria I will do all of those things!

Thanks to a PP for the Fossil code, apologies I can’t remember who posted it. Parents sorted - super chuffed. 15% cashback through Topcashback too.

@nimski
Yes I have and they have been fine. No different to ordering from the direct NFL store for me but I will be honest, only ever ordered NFL Merch.

We have two pickle baubles! It’s a traditional German thing and my DB lives there and so gave them to us. They get ‘hidden’ on the tree when it’s all been decorated and the first of the children to find them wins. A bit bonkers, but quite good fun.

Thanks for all the suggestions for f1 loads of ideas for me

Wow, ninja creami that I never knew existed is now top of my wish list. It looks fab!
