Thread 13 - the one with the loot from Black Friday | Mumsnet

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...

Fossil codes:

I couldn't get TCB15 to add to the cart for some reason.

But Extra10, the new customer 15% off code, and dailymail15 (spit) all stack!

It’s TC15 for the extra 15%, not TCB15, luckily I spotted it in TopCashBack when I went through. But doesn’t stack with the daily mail one so works out the same anyway!

Beingacatbed · 01/12/2023 20:57

Thank you for the fossil codes. Just got myself a handbag for my hisband to give me for £23!
used codes
TC15
Extra10
and the the 15% code from email sign up! Bargain

Can anyone link me to the thread on stocking fillers for teenage boys please? I did look but can’t find it. The one where the AirPod cleaner is recommended (I’m stealing that idea and now looking for others).

CarrotCarrotCucumber · 01/12/2023 21:01

I’m a bit behind on reading the threads, so sorry if this has already been mentioned, but Scrawlrbox have their 70% sale on past boxes and some other items reduced (blank mug kits, big watercolour sets). I’ve put my code on the referral thread as this should take sets down to under £5: maybe a nice stocking filler for arty teens?

Blessedbethefruitz · 01/12/2023 21:02

Any hobbycraft codes kicking about? There's so much stuff on their website!

CarrotCarrotCucumber · 01/12/2023 21:02

Sorry- edit was just to remove the referral link in the wrong thread.

does anyone know where I can get some Nike pro leggings at a good price please.

Nike had 25% off for members (free to join) for black Friday, with code SPRINT23 - not sure if it's still going. Or JD had 20% off if you download their app. I've bought Nike leggings from both (for my willowy DD, no one wants to see me in leggings!)

Sparkles23 · 01/12/2023 21:17

Thanks so much for Fossil codes, I've just ordered myself the Skylar bag for £43 (plus hopefully it will track on Quidco which will get £ back). Also for my husband to give me from one of the kids for Christmas!

Whyisitsodifficult · 01/12/2023 21:18

Any bargains for Charlotte Tilbury stuff, thinking up to £100 but looking like I spent £150!

Summerdew · 01/12/2023 21:41

@Whyisitsodifficult look on her website, she has a few Black Friday mystery boxes at 50% off, they’ve always had good reviews in the past

Justhereforthechristmasthreads · 01/12/2023 21:44

These threads are dangerous. I've just twitched on a small fossil order but messed it up and no way to cancel. Half hoping they cancel it their end to be honest 😂

imnottoofussed · 01/12/2023 21:50

Anybody suggest a nice dark rum, not spiced and obviously bargainous please

RJnomore1 · 01/12/2023 21:54

My husbands a bit of a rum aficionado, usually spiced to be fair, but he suggested pussers for a nice dark? Might need to look for a deal though sorry.

Itsbeginningtolookalotlike · 01/12/2023 21:55

I've received a request for sol de Janeiro and I know there's been previous talk about it. Where's the best place to get some? Thanks

RepetitiveMotion · 01/12/2023 22:06

Another Fossil user thank you ! Got myself a necklace from DH - the 10% didn’t work but the welcome 15% and the TC15 meant a £55 necklace reduced to £39 delivered.

Thelifeofawife · 01/12/2023 22:10

@Jessica60 I bought some recently from ASOS, they were on offer then I got another 20% off, so worth keeping an eye on

Thelifeofawife · 01/12/2023 22:12

@Itsbeginningtolookalotlike I found the cheapest to be Notino. I’d never heard of the site before but took a chance to order a sol de janeiro set, it arrived really quickly and I’ve placed a couple more orders since. They often do extra discounts
Just to say the site was recommended on here and I know others placed orders too, so it wasn’t just me being lucky

animalcrossingfan2021 · 01/12/2023 11:07

@LudicrousSexFudge what's the swizzells deal please?

I literally can’t enter any details when I try and do this deal - the pictures are over the boxes 😭

Beckafett · 01/12/2023 22:36

Okay so I think I'm nearly done (apart from every time I look at this thread!
My remaining ones are

  • more 'stuff' for my mum. We lost my dad at towards the end of October and although he hadn't been able to buy for her for a while I'd like her to have a nice pile. So far I've got a magazine subscription, some socks, chocolates, turtle doves gloves and a Horlicks gift set.
Have I missed any good garden deals? Also
  • a couples gift around £20 left to buy
Thanks all x
WheresMrMonkey · 01/12/2023 22:37

Any idea on the best place to get a beanbag for a pre teen boy?

Thelifeofawife · 01/12/2023 22:42

@Beckafett theres some nice gardening gifts on Amazon - it won’t let me link but if you type ‘gardening gift sets’ it should bring them up. There’s some floral sets of gloves, trowel & candle for approx £6, and a larger set for approx £13

They sound great thank you, feel like I'm in slight gift paralysis which is unusual for me

Thread 14 - the one where we track our Fahlo turtles while snuggling under our heated blankets
recklessgran · 01/12/2023 22:50

@Beckafett what about some nice earrings or a purse from Fossil? I just got the lovely Madison slim clutch purse for £17.55 delivered using the 15% off new customer code which I had sent to DH's e-mail alongside EXTRA10 and TC15. I also went through TCB for 24% cashback. You can't go wrong really and alongside the White Stuff sock calendar I reckon this is one of the best for bargains websites we've had this year. I agree with others though - dispatch is really slow - I rang today about an order I placed on Sunday that still hasn't dispatched. Shows how spoilt we are as I really expected to have received it by now but nope not even been sent yet. Also having the same problem with Body Shop with another order placed at the same time.
