Thread 16 - the one with two turtle fingerless gloves

[Reastie]

This thread title made me think I should make up a 12 days of christmas song for all the main bargains we've got! Thanks@Yalz and @ApiratesaysYarrr for the inspo on the title.

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 HC code just ordered £50 velvetiser which still sounds ridiculously expensive but DS has wanted one for ages & got some boxes for gifts so collecting in store today.
No sign of the Havaianas ordered on 3 for £33 deal ages ago! Anyone else received theirs?

@stepfordwifey Little Brian paint sticks are fab (and easily Amazon-able for guaranteed delivery)

Hotel chocolat code no longer works. I almost ordered loads of chocolates and a velvetiser last night but decided to sleep on it. Tried this morning but not working now which is a good thing for my bank balance 🤣

Which ones were these? I can only see a half price afternoon tea one with some sort of weird fizzy tea and a fenwick food hall one which doesn't look that amazing.

For those who like the sound of the sparkling tea in the Fenwick’s hamper, I’ve found this place. They have 750ml bottles down to £8 from £9, and an automatic 15% discount. You also get a welcome 10% code if you sign up to emails, but they don’t stack. Postage is £4.99 or free over £60. They also have non-alcoholic wines, beers, ciders and spirits.

I just tried the Hotel Chocolat code and it says it is not recognised. Probably a good thing as would have only bought because I thought I was getting a bargain. Don’t really need anything and did get the hamper from Laithwaits for £10 with a referral code.

Ah right I've found the original post. Its a nice gift, but the Chapel down is only £25 a bottle, so it was massively overpriced to start with. I do love Fenwick, but the hampers are honkers prices for what you get.

could you have a look at the best before dates on the food items for me? I was thinking of buying ahead for a couple of spring birthdays….

it wasn't really for a hamper
the wine is £26 and the chocolates £23 so £75 delivered was pretty reasonable in hamper world where markups are usually massive

but £29 if you order 4 or more is pretty cheap - if you drink the wine- and it is a regular tipple here - it is a very nice fizz

I will gift a few. Keep a few as stand by gifts and breakdown them down if I dont gift and break some now down for wine and chocolates.

wine no date
charbonnel 2nd march
fudge 3rd feb

the box is lovely- very hefty

Have you got a referral code as I might order today?

@Beckafett yes - you’ll find it over on the last page of the current referrals board. Link below because we don’t post referral codes in these threads.

i think as long as orders are in by Tuesday they’re guaranteeing Christmas delivery.

Some “last minute deals” on Amazon for often discussed items. Apologies I have no idea if they have already been at these prices for a while or if they are new reductions:

X box series X £350
X Box Series S £200
Herd Mentality £16

Lovely thank you, shall check it out

@Famousthehero thanks for the dairy milk link. I got the big one last year for my kids. They loved them.

Re: Fenwick hampers...has anyone noticed a box that you can send as a gift? I want to send one directly to the recipient so I'd like to add a note/hide the price!

Has anyone seen any Nike discount codes for trainers?! I got two pairs with the 25% off over Black Friday and now need another pair. Thanks

Fenwick: you can mix and match. I needed two bottles of red wine for gifts so I ordered the chapel down gift box, two of them and a mini Prosecco and got 15% off them. It’s any 4 items in the promotion.

I also put a (very restrained) hotel chocolat order through last night for collection and it’s ready for pick up.

update on fahlo though, they only sent two bracelets, one free, despite the order being for 3 free. Happy enough although I think I will ask about the £9.95 postage to Scotland!

thanks everyone.

Not sure if this has already been posted, but there are some nice Burts Bees sets with a lip balm and hand salve on offer on Amazon which make little stocking fillers of teacher gifts:

Burts bees set

Could anyone recommend a good 3d pen for a 9yo please ?

American Express also have cash back at Fenwick. It’s £20 back when you spend £100

Looks like Hotel Chocolat aren’t honouring that code, just had a full refund.

I came on to say the same thing. What if some of those orders are genuine, and their orders have been cancelled?

I've not had a refund or email cancelling hotel chocolat yet 🤷‍♀️
