Thread 13 - the one with the loot from Black Friday

1000 replies

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.

I have seen a few people talk about glossybox on here, I was thinking of ordering a mystery box for my niece. Are the mystery boxes any good? Am worried it might be all the old bits they are trying to get rid of

Is there a bargainous way of getting a personalised toblerone? Or at least free postage?

Redskyatwhatever · 28/11/2023 10:22

@evtheria

Thank you for the information

ilovetea14 · 28/11/2023 10:35

Thanks for the Fahlo bracelets, I ordered the shark one for my son and two free ones a polar bear and lion I couldn't chose which one for my daughter. It was costing me €25 for delivery + taxes with the free ones so got the shark and it cost the same.

SeaGlassTreasure · 28/11/2023 10:39

Is there a link to the bracelets with an offer from a PP? I’ve scrolled through but can’t find the specific post. I have 3 in my basket and no offer is coming up. Thank you.

buckeejit · 28/11/2023 10:40

Are the bracelets semi precious stones or just plastic?

My daughter has asked for weighted blanket for Christmas, does anyone have any recommendations please, budget c£25-£45 ish. Many thanks.

mummydoris2006 · 28/11/2023 10:59

Boots £10 Tuesday has two different Britney Spears perfumes for £10 instead of £28.

MulticolourTriangles · 28/11/2023 11:13

I'm also on the weighted blanket hunt. Looking for a 2.5-3kg with a fleecy or soft furry type feel if anyone has spotted anything similar?

deeplybaffled · 28/11/2023 11:20

We got an excellent weighted blanket from the OnLine Homestore. Ours isn’t fleecy, but they might have various options.

Stressosaur · 28/11/2023 11:21

Anyone know cheapest but also best way to book Wembley stadium tour for Xmas present?

I can't decide between so many options 🙈 do I send him on a family ticket so he can go with dad, mate and another dad

Do I book myself in (disabled so could get carer ticket for extra adult)

Do I splash out for VIP tour

It's an 11year old boy...

Not very Christmassy but I need x 2 single duvets for guests staying this Christmas. They are travelling to us by train so can’t BYO.

I don’t want to spend £££ but if there are any BOGOFs or bargain nice ones that would be fine. I’m thinking mid tog - ie not full winter mode but not thin and useless.

Anyone seen anything please?

@GrangeFill - I picked up a single duvet set for £6 in dunelm. In my local store they have various sections of clearance hidden at ends of aisles etc so if you can get to store defo recommend having a snoop. The actual duvets are v.reasonable too.

GrangeFill · 28/11/2023 11:41

Brilliant thank you !!!! Ordered

g1c2d3 · 28/11/2023 11:52

Are the free Fahlo bracelets not trackable and only the full price ones trackable? Thank you.

ZzzzCravingMum · 28/11/2023 12:01

@psuedocream3 I really started questioning my sanity on if I'd actually ordered from Disney our not, couldn't find anything in my inbox. 3 weeks later got a Amazon delivery note that they'd received my Disney order, this did not help with the confusion.
Amazon delivered it on Monday...all very strange. But my Christmas Minnie is now in hand!

Ilovepugs2017 · 28/11/2023 12:06

RL bargain @ my local boots. Mens 100ml EDT and two 150ml body sprays down to £5 in total in a clearance but when she scanned them through it come up as £3.31!! So an even bigger bargain. Very happy

I've just recommended my glossybox order and am a bit disappointed to get 4 the same. They were each in a cardboard box labelled mystery box 1, box 2 etc so I was hopeful but opened them to check. Haven't looked at the contents yet, saving that for nap time 😂

Any last minute beauty advent calendar deals to be had?

Beckafett · 28/11/2023 12:13

deeplybaffled · 28/11/2023 08:23

Not quite a traditional bargain, but if anyone wanted to make a donation to Refuge, the domestic violence charity, they have a philanthropist who is matching donations made pound for pound till they make their target of £125k.

https://refuge.org.uk/

Thank you for highlighting this, just donated

LovethewonderofChristmas · 28/11/2023 12:16

Thank you for the recommendations, just ordered from Kudd.ly, THEBROWNS20 gave an extra 20% off.

VeruccaSalty · 28/11/2023 12:24

Brand alley had l'occitane and body shop advent calendars at half price but that was still around 60 I think.

VeruccaSalty · 28/11/2023 12:26

I was hoping Beer 52 calendar might go down to last years bargain price but not seen any offers

deeplybaffled · 28/11/2023 12:45

@VeruccaSalty - me too. Not given up all hope yet, but equally not holding my breath 😀
