Thread 13 - the one with the loot from Black Friday

[Reastie]

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.

@clpsmum - sadly it isn't working but thank you for trying

I’ve asked on the referral thread but it’s busier here! Does anyone have a zavvi referral code?

@Beautifulsunflowers

i have a zavvi referral.

Sorry, I know we aren’t technically supposed to put referrals here

Been so busy back at work I've missed two whole threads!! Luckily I'm pretty much done but oh the bargains I've missed. Just bought some jelly's cats from this site and now I'm thinking it was too good to be true?! What do you lovely lot think? You can spot a scam a mile off and I think I may have just been had

my daughter loves Bubble, you find it on Sephora

@BottomRusseller if she loves Inkey they often (permanently) in my local Home Bargains have both hair and beauty Inkey all under £4 an item!

If you are a new customer, code fba35 takes 35% off Bloom & Wild and you can schedule the flowers to send in January.

I've just used an incognito tab to open their website and a different email to check out as guest and it let me apply the code again.

Also thanks to everyone for the links to kitchens!

Sendabloom have 55% off with code FRIDAY55

I haven't used them for several years but used to be decent

No codes but they have 5% (I think) on TCB

@napsarelifewithtwo I had an Instagram ad for that website and I'm fairly certain it's a scam sorry! It's flagged on scam-detector.com as a likely scam site.

Did you pay with PayPal or with a card?

Scrawlrbox have their past boxes down to £7.50 with free p&p. I found them through the Christmas thread one year so returning the favour. It sends a box of art supplies monthly on subscription but at times you can buy one of the old boxes. Lots of choice and excellent quality. It's listed at full price (£24) until you get to the checkout. All boxes contain something about the month they've been issued but it's fairly easy to open and remove this and stick it back down if you want to.

Posted in the old one not realising there was a new thread

Ariana Grande cloud 100ml £29 Amazon

Grande Cloud EDP Spray, 100 ml, Blue amzn.eu/d/bE26VWN

Keep missing out on these bargains, my sister ordered another one for my daughter yesterday, I think she would prefer this and it's much better value.

I'll definitely be a lot more savvy next year

This is good fun. Basically just magnetic pebbles though. Must be kept away from children who might try swallowing a pebble though.

Apparently bubble is the latest 'thing'
Byoma is also quite popular with the teens. My tween has asked for drunken elephant. Thats a hard no! ££££

I am twitching about buying Papier notebooks for tricky-to-buy-for teen nieces. Can I ask anyone who has purchased if they look special? Just a bit 🥺 at paying that price for a notepad but happy to of it looks nice. And is Black Friday deal or referral link the best I can do?

I bought a couple of Jellycats from my local gift shop yesterday and they were telling me about this site. Jellycat lawyers are all over it. Jellycat are very strict about discounting their products - it’s rare.

I noticed there are a lot of knock off Jellycat copies on eg Shein for about 1/4 the price.

They are lovely. I get one every year. I like that the planners aren't dated because I can go a couple of weeks without using it and then pick it back up again without wasting pages.

Amazon have mini keyring torches. Lots of varieties and colours but some thin ones at £1-2 each. Great for car keys and house keys over the winter when it’s dark. Ours are still going 2 years later
StickyArt have personalised pens for under £3 (buy 5 get 5 free) and you choose the names so great for more unusual names
Chocolate Santas £1-2 each go down well
Cath Kidson and Occitane both have hand creams in crackers (pack of 4) that you can split down
My grandparents still prefer soaps to hand wash so I often buy a pack of nice scented ones, again this can be split down
Primark fluffy socks are great for all ages and last well
Theres some nice notebooks in B&M for under £3 each, also some nice Christmas mugs there which you could wrap with a hot chocolate sachet, a candy cane and some marshmallows
For the 26 year old SO body sprays are lovely and under £2 at Superdrug

The jellytoysale site was only set up on 20/11/23

My kids have asked Father Christmas for an England football kit and I cannot find one anywhere in sizes DS10-11,DD 11-12.
Also after a Welsh football kit in 10-11

I'm nervous to use the footballbest4u due to the long lead time as it’s all they’ve asked Santa for - although I do like the price!! Should I risk footballbest4u?

can anyone help? Im panicking a little lol

@PlanBea I paid with card as PayPal wasn't an option. Which should have 100% been a red flag for me but I was juggling two smalls and not paying my usual attention. Fool.

Thank you @buckeejit for the British belt company recommendation - found the exact leather jeans belt I’ve been looking for for a hard to buy recipient for a few years at the bargain price of £22.50 delivered

any Recommendations for soft bamboo T-shirts in XXXL size? They don’t need to be discounted, but in the £15-20 ballpark rather than the £40-50 ballpark. I don’t understand why bamboo is so expensive? I can see a few in that price range in regular sizing (eg sock shop) but the gentleman concerned is on the larger size.

@GrangeFill not surprised they are all over it. I am annoyed at myself tbh because I even know that jellycat rarely reduce. I 100% should have known better. Just paid with my regular Monzo so I'm not even sure I'll get my money back
