Thanks @GoatsareGOAT for the title. Luckily, she was referring to the board game peeps!

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.

I need to buy 10 hampers for people on my team. Budget is £35 each. Food bits not beauty. I need to order on line. Can anyone recommend somewhere bargainous so it will look like it's more? Doesn't have to be an actual hamper with lid. A nice reusable hessian bag is good?

CheesyChipsOnWembleyWay · 18/11/2023 13:50

@onedayatatime73 hampers.com have 20% off all their hampers for Black Friday

You could get both the Festive Treats and Good Morning gift sets from Cartwright and Butler (I.e. 2 sets each) with code JOYLNER20 taking 20% off. So original price £50 but you pay £33 each including delivery.

Hi, I stupidly forgot about the every way pans in Aldi. All sold out in the big Aldi I just tried🙃 Has anyone seen any today?

Thanks

Dee1224 · 18/11/2023 14:01

So of course I bought a totally unnecessary stand mixer for four times the price instead🙈

BadBarry · 18/11/2023 14:02

Bit late to the party but if anyone sees any good offers for the Yoto player I'd really appreciate it!

waytootiredofthis · 18/11/2023 14:06

Has anyone got any suggestions for online shops for cutesy Japanese type stuff? Also vegetarian so not going to try and attempt suitable snacks this year!

psuedocream3 · 18/11/2023 14:06

Just been told I need to buy an Air Up bottle, any suggestions on getting these for a bargain price would be very appreciated.

For the poster's daughter wanting old school fillers for crackers try Tiger or Hawkins Bazaar or Sostrene Green - fish that react to temperatures, jacks, dice, pencil toppers, mini racing cars, whistle, bouncy ball, giant paperclips, mini yo-yo

DD wanted Elizabeth Arden perfume - BF30 is taking 30% stuff on the Elizabeth Arden website inc stuff already reduced and there's no min spend for free p&p. Also got a free makeup bag and there were a few other offers for bigger free gifts but I try not to get sucked into that these days! https://www.elizabetharden.co.uk/specialoffers/

I was just browsing online, trying to find a gift for a relative and came across this Breakfast Sandwich Maker. It's currently 25% off at Amazon, for £29.99 (the cheapest I've managed to find it)
I'm so excited to get it, I really want to try it 😁

BlairWaldorfOG · 18/11/2023 14:19

Ohh thanks @fishfingersandchipsagain and @Chocolateteabag off to try this now 😁

Reepycheepy · 18/11/2023 14:20

@waytootiredofthis - others have posted but the tofu cute mystery bags are good. Not cheap but a mix of toys and veggie snacks.

Anyone seen any bargains on nice bath stuff? My sister's just had a new bathroom put in. I've already got a present for her so I don't want to spend loads, but some nice smellies or bits for the bathroom would be great.

TKMaxx, beautiful Christmas soaps, loads of nice toiletries, plus if you go to the homeware section they usually have bathroom storage and accessories and posh hand towels.

Brunointhemiddle · 18/11/2023 14:27

@chocolateisavegetable thank you so much 🎄

BlairWaldorfOG · 18/11/2023 14:27

Not necessarily Christmassy but one of today's Blue Light Card deals of the day is for 25% off car seats, it's working with already discounted seats.

Crazydogmumma · 18/11/2023 14:55

Thank you to whoever recommended the gardening gloves (2 for 1 deal)- paid £6.99 for both and they look like lovely gifts for a gardener!

If anyone is real life shopping primark had lots of red label reductions. I got dd some glittery fake nails for £1 (adult section). They also had snuddies reduced, christmas slippers, Christmas straw cups (both disney themed and £5 from £9), fleecy blankets and lots of random things across the store.

Also some nice fillers in there, I got sparkly lip gloss for £1.50, chuba chuba lip balms.

Poundland had vegan magnums down to £1 for a pack of 3 and the raspberry vegan magnums for £2. (Bargain for the vegans at Christmas!!)

Also thanks for all the bargains so far! Just collected my entertainer goodies.

Blessedbethefruitz · 18/11/2023 15:03

@UnaOfStormhold TK max had some lovely ones, as diverse as stingrays - kicking myself for not grabbing one!

@BadBarry I took this screenshot for a friend yesterday for yotos!

My black friday robot eufy vacuum is here but dp doesn't want it on while ds4 is here as he'll probably land on it lol. I'm itching to try it out! I'm on a decluttering marathon instead...

Crazydogmumma · 18/11/2023 15:24

@hby9628 - I can’t seem to do a link so have attached a photo. They are from amazon and seem to have gone up to £8.99 but still buy one get one free and still worth it.
