Thread 13 - the one with the loot from Black Friday

13 - unlucky for some. Let's hope it's very lucky for us!

I bought a couple of things in the Black Friday sales - an amazon stick (I'm pretty sure we couldn't just bought a smart tv by now with the amount we've got through as they break after a year or so) and noise cancelling headphones for DD. Hope you're all getting through the lists - December is fast upon us!

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.

Thank you @fishfingersandchipsagain for the Argos suggestion, although I’ve just tried entering my emails and it tells me it looks like I am already signed up with those accounts at that link. But like you they have never sent me any codes such as the ones I see posted on here frequently! Did it let you use the emails you had already signed up with? I’m destined for no codes I think!

How strange!

They never sent me any until I signed up with that link. Now they have started to send them.

I must have some inadvertent don’t spam me setting on somewhere, but I can’t find it! Glad you have got it sorted

Can anyone recommend some games for adults to play over Christmas once the little ones are in bed please? Would herd mentality be a good shout or is that more suited to children? Ages between 20 and 70. Last year we enjoyed the one where you have the name of someone famous on your head and have to guess who you are.

We love Scattergories!

I was going to order but read on here a fee people have had problems and customer service sounds none existent! I haven't bothered ordering.

msssm · 25/11/2023 21:20

I bought the wrong Ariana Grande perfume. I'm sure someone a bit back posted a photo of it and it was a pink bottle with a pom pom so that's the one I went for.
Gah.

TheGirlWhoLived · 25/11/2023 21:20

@Seasonofthewitches herd mentality would be great! Other good ones include an old favourite but articulate is wonderful. 5 second rule is another good fun. Can be played from 6-90 id say!

TheGirlWhoLived · 25/11/2023 21:21

Otherwise just get yourself a deck of cards. We’ve had many a Christmas storm out over bastard brag 😂

I've had bad customer service this week but the order of the 4 bottles for a fiver was trouble free and arrive dthe next day. I got 10% back with Halifax too. And it's not a subscription just a one off.

I have been put in charge of the pass the parcel for Christmas day and so need to find a bargainous gift for the centre ideally under £10 and suitable for either sex ages between 17 and 77. All ideas welcome

Exploding kittens card game? A bargainous £11.49 on Amazon at the moment. For all ages.

Can't link sorry.

I'm looking for miss Dior perfume and a jelly cat Timmy turtle. Anyone seen good deals/codes?

Laneige midnight minis gift set

^ Can anyone find this in stock please? (Not eBay or Vinted etc) I should have ordered sooner but forgot and now it’s out of stock everywhere!

Also searching, as rare as he's teeth it seems. There were loads a few weeks ago! 🙄

TokyoSushi · 25/11/2023 21:42

Anyone know please where I can get a Jellycat 3 baby penguins in a nest toy? Dd wants one but local posh interiors shop is asking £33!

That is the going rate for these particular Jellycats, unfortunately. It’s worth keeping an eye on Vinted/eBay, but I doubt they will be much cheaper at the moment.

applepinkierainbow · 25/11/2023 21:55

@RainbowZebraWarrior If you have a Space NK nearby they have it on their website (25% off) with free click and collect - www.spacenk.com/uk/bath-body/bath-body-sets/bath-body-sets/bum-bum-jet-set-MUK200027443.html

LemonFrosting · 25/11/2023 22:10

Not so long ago Fossil had good discount codes, have they all stopped now?

Rainbowshit · 25/11/2023 22:18

@medianewbie

I just ordered Jellycat toys on here using WELCOME10 for 10%off.

Namenumber3 · 25/11/2023 22:24

@LemonFrosting There are no problems with Laithwaites aside from them being very busy this week. They are a well known company going back years.
Advent Calendar's and other one off things like the quarter bottles are just that..one offs.
The big discount offers on the cases of wine often involve signing up and then cancelling.I’ve had some of those case deals and the wine has been great and been able to cancel easily enough.

I ordered earlier and was able to use it on sale items too. Had to be on the app though, couldn't get it to work on the normal website.
