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.

Sainsburys had good reductions in their glasses. I got two packs of gin glasses for £4.75 to gift to my cousins along with my bargain gin miniature crackers saved from last year's sales.

Are there any John Lewis codes available? I think I missed the Festive10

Snagged an 850g Dairy Milk for £5 on Amazon. It’s says delivery Feb so it’ll feel like a gift if/when it does show up.

I knew as soon as I started reading that you were going to say the almond and sweet macaroon. I'm currently burning a large one, but rationing myself to 30 mins per night. I've not come across an entirely similar one, yet so I'm stalking ebay and vinted.

I shall mourn with you!

@LemonFrosting Aldi bring different ones out at different times of year so all may not be lost. You can often get them on eBay too.

sorry if this is a stupid question.

Have you checked it’s definitely discontinued? And not just saving it for another date E.g Valentine’s Day?

For those who shopped on claires during black Friday don't forget to use your bonus £10 voucher before the 24th. Mine came through on email and works with the current buy 3 get 3 free online. Just got 6 £5 gifts in the clearance section and only paid £5 in total!!

fishfingersandchipsagain · 20/12/2023 23:51

I’ve still had nothing from the chuckling cheese people. No dispatch email or anything. Are others in the same boat?

Same here 😬

Thank you for the support regarding the aldi candle....maybe we can all support each other through this difficult and unpredictable time?! 😉
I remember receiving large candle and diffuser for Xmas last year then buying myself some more shortly after Xmas and they've lasted this long!
I hadn't thought of ebay, off I go to look at the no doubt ridiculously hiked up prices!!!

pinkchampagne1 · 21/12/2023 07:59

I also love the sweet almond fragrance. It does come back in stock from time to time as I have the diffuser on the go at the moment which I bought a few months ago. Think it was one of their special buys so I found it in the middle aisle.

BlackFlyChardonnay · 21/12/2023 08:29

Are aldi candles and diffusers good then?? I'd never have thought of buying from there. I love those kind of things but I'm so defeated by all the disappointing purchase with no lasting fragrance.

Are they a basic range or a special range? I've only seen pomegranate and lime basil in my local aldi (they look like jo malone dupes) but I'm not keen on either scent.

It's the same range as those Jo malone dupes.
It lasts really well, the candle throws scent throughout the house and it's not too sickly sweet. The diffuser I have in my porch so granted its only a small area but honestly it lasts for months as opposed to others I've tried that you can't smell after a few days.
I hate strongly scented things as they give me headaches but I've found that candle to be perfect!

hiredandsqueak · 21/12/2023 08:44

I've bought the socks as well as dd loves fluffy socks.I figure I can grab a couple of pairs for next year's stocking and give her the rest when they arrive.

Britney Spears midnight fantasy 100ml edp on Amazon £17.95 but if you use subscribe and save it takes 10% off so it’s £16.10 - I usually just cancel the subscriptions after I receive it
