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.

Not sure if anyone mentioned already but on certain accounts amazon has £4 off a £12 spend for pick up at collection points. I havnt been eligible for anything for ages but was for this one.

@deeplybaffled this is half price at thedropstore.com if any good 😊

Thank you These threads are the true spirit of Christmas for me
Posters sharing ideas and discounts.and kind posters even offering to post things to others

For anyone wanting a new Amazon device if you trade in an old device they add a gift card for £5 onto your account instantly and 25% off the new device you want. I’ve just tried it and it works out with the gift card and 25% off I can get an echo pop for £8.49

20% off Bloom and Wild with code twentyfleurs

This? Good price and reviews. Also in silver.

Oh, that's my nan's gift sorted then! 😄

@Twonka Footballbest4u.com still showing last order date today for Christmas delivery?

If anyone wants to splash out on a beer/lager drinker, Perfect Draft have a fab sale on. I know 3 people who have this and it’s been a massive hit. Not the cheapest way to have a pint, but everyone loves it and goes down a treat pulling your own pint and guests helping themselves. Refill barrels available on line or at some stores.

I was just in Home Bargains and they had some gold club pens in the gift section, they looked more expensive than they were. I know it's not enough for a main gift but it's a nice little something extra.

Golf club pens, not gold club 😂

Thank you whoever mentioned the Ariana Grande Cloud on Amazon, I’ve already bought Dd16 Chanel Gabrielle as she requested it back in the summer but wanted something else without breaking the bank - perfect.

Debenhams have black friday beauty deals live now, up to 50% off all beauty, might be worth a look if shopping around for specific items

@happytobemrsg have you looked at bbc micro:bits? They are a bit like the raspberrypi but simpler and there is a website with all sorts of coding projects to work through. They have lights and sounds which you can program.

Can anyone help please? I thought I'd ordered from the same football kit company as everyone else but I've ordered from footballkits4u.store and paid on my card. They havent sent confirmation email but the payment is pending, looked online and says new company no reviews 😑 does anyone know of this is a real site or scam please? Thank you

All have some kind of coding theme.

Can well recommend Yoshi Goods for really beautiful bags and purses etc. At the moment they have 70% off on some ranges for Black Friday. I got a friend who is into horror movies a leather card holder with horror movie books detailed for £5 to go with her main prezzie (think that will be the bigger hit lol). They have some football keyrings etc which might make good secret santa or stocking filler gifts. Its free UK standard postage and I've always been really thrilled with the stuff I've had from them. HTH here's website address

I put this on towards the end of the last thread - Yoto 20% off at A Little Find, but there’s also 20% off Tonies. Players and books are included. I’ve put my referral code on the referrals thread for £10 off a £40 spend so the Yoto mini would be £37.99 or a toniebox for £53.99.

In store next have bath and body works hand soaps 3 for £15, candles 30% off and body sprays/showers gels buy 4 for 2.
Haven't checked if this offer is online

Thanks for this. I’ve been looking for gentle, natural products for DC.

Slightly more than the Amazon price but Debenhams has the Ariana Grande Cloud gift set for £33ish, but it includes a miniature

For anyone with teen/tween Stranger Things fans (who doesn't mind shopping at Amazon) the charm bracelet advent calendar and sock crackers (size 4-7) now have a 40% off voucher box to tick taking the price down to a brilliant £8.39 for each.

You need to check them out individually as it's a one code per item deal but it seems to allow repeat purchases. Been watching the crackers for a price drop of a pound or two so DD can give them to friends, thrilled with the unexpected bargain!

Hi! Thank you for all of the offers- doesn't the last week feel like such an intense Christmas prep week?!

Could I be cheeky and ask if anyone has a hot diamonds birthday code or one of those sent when you leave things in your basket please? I have the generic ones but not an individual one. Thank you

Was someone looking for a coffee advent calendar

I ordered from here ages ago advent and was dubious tbh but the item came and is what it says it is! Very reasonably priced.

It has 4 ⭐️ on Trustpilot

Oh and thanks for the Ariana Amazon tip. Got one for Dd - she hasn't asked for it but it sounds like something she'd like and need something for her granny to give her!
