Thread 13 - the one with the loot from Black Friday

1000 replies

Reastie · 25/11/2023 06:56

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 for the fahlo bracelets. They look so cute & my kids will love them. My youngest was asking for a pet turtle yesterday! 🐑 🐑 🐑

dramalamma · 27/11/2023 21:17

Mine would love these bracelets but.... £24.95 postage!! Is there a trick I'm missing? I'm in Northern Ireland so I know we often get charged more but that seems to be the US site.... is that right? Sorry for all the questions!

Puffalicious · 27/11/2023 21:18

Thank you so much for all the heated throw suggestions. I'm still swithering, but probably will go for a Lakeland one.

I've just spent too much in the Vans cyber 50% sale. If anyone missed it there's an extra 20% off with code EXTRA20

Also if you have sporty/ outdoor people in your life SportsPursuit is an awesome site. High end brands at really great prices ( eg got a £150 waterproof for DS for £67.50) & lots of gorgeous merino products that are super reasonable.

IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile · 27/11/2023 21:21

An additional 10% of kits and shirts from footballsbest4u with the code happy10. Although their official guaranteed for Christmas date has passed, I usually recieve mine in 2/3 weeks.

(I am currently into the second hour on the phone with an absolutely lovely lady from VERY who is trying to sort out my new-credit-customer-discount order. So far it has involved me having to place the order online while on the phone to them, paying for part of it in advance on my card, and then they will apparently discount it at their end, put it on buy-now-pay-later, and then refund the difference to me)

Feel invested in this. Did you sort it?

Pretty little thing have 50% off everything for the next 3 hours. Great for hoodies sweatshirts lounge wear https://www.prettylittlething.com/

Does anyone have an Argos code that they aren’t using please. I can’t seem to find any other way to get money off AirPods. Thank you

Dee1224 · 27/11/2023 21:31

Hi, I seem to have lost/deleted my welcome to Lakeland code. Does anyone have a code I could have? I have just had a request for a heated throw🙀

Thanks very much.

Redcherries · 27/11/2023 21:32

I’m in Kent and it’s £18.95 to ship 2. I really liked the idea too but ouch

sycamorescrumptious · 27/11/2023 21:40

Fahlo has to be the most irritating website ever!! Have been dithering over these bracelets for DSs since last year. For £12.15/2 I'd go for it, but I can't for the life of me reduce mine below £18.95. Grrrrr!!

Fabricwitch · 27/11/2023 21:40

@hby9628 it's €15 shipping to ROI + €3 taxes so £25 seems high. You can change the country at the bottom of the very bottom of the website, that might update the shipping!

That's a crazy high shipping for England! They're shipped out of Texas apparently so I guess that would explain it. I changed the site for the uk and it was still £24.95 shipping 🤷‍♀️

My bridal beauty arrived today !

Not opened it yet 😀!

But I think it is out of stock....( the £100 one ).

Don't want to tease..

But if anyone is interested...I will delve into the box !!

Oh yes. Need to torture myself on what I missed out on!

Darkbutstarrynight · 27/11/2023 21:46

@WhereTheresAHill
A Fluffy pencil case, pens with pom poms on the end, bendable pencils, fancy but normal pencils, those pens that have a fragrance, glitter biros, little envelopes or writing set for secret letters, cards to colour in, glitter glues, ruler...maybe unicorn themed and put in a small fancy box file or zip wallet. None need to be expensive- look in home bargains, pound shops B&M etc

Yes please. I've resisted the last two but if I see what's in yours I might feel better about splashing out next time they have them

handmademitlove · 27/11/2023 21:55

@sycamorescrumptious I followed the link, added a free bracelet then two more from the bracelets page. All showing on the US site. When I went to check out, I added the "exploremore" code and when I added my details it switched to the UK site automatically and removed the delivery charge. I did not have to manually switch to the uk site.

I can't believe what the code is for this 🙈🤣

wideawakeinthemiddleofthenightagain · 27/11/2023 22:05

Gah! Fake dry robes have arrived for TwoBareFeet. Really good quality, excellent sizing (I'm 5'4" and a size 14 and the age 10 - 14 finishes an inch or so above my knee and does up but would have no room for getting changed in), seems like the right balance between warmth and not being too thick BUT the outer isn't plain but embossed in writing saying "TwoBareFeet" and I just know teen DD won't use it and therefore slightly younger DS won't. I knew it had the branding across the back of the jacket but hadn't realised the whole of it is covered in this. So disappointed. And only have an hour or so to find an alternative!

I’ve been asked for stationery ‘kits’ for my nieces (5&7) I’m thinking everything cute/pastel/pink, what else can I add please?!

pink scissors
Washi tape
highlighters
fluffy notepads
sticky notes
shaped paper clips/bulldog clips

thanks!

Near the tills today in my local small Sainsbury's they had loads of reduced girly stationary.prob more in a bigger store. Lots of novelty bits. Tesco also do paperchase items now

Moonshine86 · 27/11/2023 22:07

3d pen for my 7 year old daughter yet to buy!

Yeknom · 27/11/2023 22:07

@WhereTheresAHill a fun hole punch that makes a different shape - like an animal or something rather than a regular circle hole.

A multi coloured biro

Smelly erasers

bizzey · 27/11/2023 22:08

Bridal Beauty update........ . will happen after the break ...🤣

(Celebrity is on for an extra 30 mins tonight!!)

buckeejit · 27/11/2023 22:11

@bizzey I'm waiting for my bridal beauty box so don't want to see spoilers of what's in it as it's my advent calendar for this year. If there's any way you could give it its own thread, that would be much appreciated 💚
