Thank you for all the recommendations for the primark fleece lined leggings, just what I was after. I feel like I've done well on bargains this year, hotel chocolat, white stuff socks, marshmallow, Disney stacking codes and a fab spot on fc24 discount! Happy Christmas all Smile

Sallylovesdaisy · 22/12/2023 19:07

Thank you to everyone who shared their codes, bargains and good ideas. It's been brilliant! I bagged quite a lot of bargains, my cupboard was groaning it was so full. I especially loved a little present to myself..a Fossil purse.. it's gorgeous. Thank you all again. See you on the 2024 thread. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and bargainous New Year

Hello, I’ve pm’d you a discount code but it only works on full priced items I’m afraid.

Dee1224 · 22/12/2023 21:24

Yes, thank you very much to everyone who has posted discount codes, details of bargains, etc. I got the WS sock calendars x2, the Brora discount, (free sheepskin insoles), and the Valentte melts offer, (though that was for me!) and passed on the Gruum details to a friend.

Thanks to these threads I have finally also discovered the delights of Lidl and Aldi and their homeward bargains!

If, like me, you didn’t check your Fahlo bracelets properly on arrival - you might want to!
Just gone to wrap them and have been sent the wrong ones
Ordered 2 turtles and 2 polar bears. Turtles are great but one polar bear is identifying as a Gorilla and the other as a dolphin!
Tracking cards are for polar bears so can’t give them which means I have had to quickly buy an alternative today

Oh no!
mine aren't all the right colours but they are at least the right animals!

LemonFrosting · 23/12/2023 00:12

Not particularly Christmassy but Amazon had Clarks Hamble Oak brogues for £17.50 rather than the normal £60+ today great for women's or older girls work/school shoes.

I think it was just reminding people to check their accounts as there may be a voucher sitting (if you've made an account with Claires and placed previous orders)

Show quote history

As well as the reward codes on your account there was also a Claire’s £10 off voucher code which worked on multiple orders as I used it yesterday around 6am for two orders. I’ve tried looking through thread 16 to find it but haven’t managed to. It started CASH- I think. Hopefully someone else has better luck than me locating it…

many thanks to whoever posted it as combined with the three for three offer and my own £5 reward voucher I bought 6 bath bombs for £1.50 for DD1’s Jan birthday party bags and 30 bracelets for £2 for DD2’s Jan birthday party bags. And I still have a £5 reward voucher to use! I don’t know how Claire’s make any money but I’ve had a load of amazing value orders from there since October!!

Beachcomber74 · 23/12/2023 08:26

Happy Christmas all! Thanks for all suggestions. I got Laithwaite hampers, Valenette deals, Fake but possibly real Oddies, giant personalised love heart sweets, Hotel Choc, Bonne Maman advent. Havianahs cancelled order on the 3 for £33 deal but no refund yet so that’s abit annoying.

Thanks for this, what a bargain!

Thanks for everone's suggestions.

Could someone explain the lock picking sets? Have to confess they bring Bill Sykes to mind...what are they used for?

BoilingHotand50something · 23/12/2023 09:26

Been a long time lurker on the threads this year and you have helped me shop this Christmas so thank you! Just popping on to say I have just received my Fahlo bracelets after exchanging messengers with them on Thursday about swapping the out of stock items! Despatch email yesterday, received this morning! In case anyone is in the same boat, there is hope!

Filterphobia · 23/12/2023 09:28

@Deliria I’ve bought a lock picking at for my 12 year old son. It comes with several padlocks that are see through so you can see the mechanism and then lots of tools to help you unpick the locks. I think the idea is that you practice on the see through locks and then once you have the hang of it you can try it on regular padlocks.

stillholly · 23/12/2023 09:30

Boots have lots of gifts half price - sorry if already posted

tabbycat985 · 23/12/2023 09:31

After being all done for a month, my husband has finally decided what he wants for Christmas🫠 Does anyone know of a website that would have the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses for next day delivery?
I've checked everywhere I can think of & they all arrive after Christmas

hiredandsqueak · 23/12/2023 09:48

My Vera Tucci socks arrived, really good service and a good mix of styles and colours.Thank youtowhoever flagged that up.

WimbyAce · 23/12/2023 09:54

These threads have been a lot of fun and helpful! Biggest bargain was the Whitestuff socks glitch, really pleased with those (for me!) Took advantage of the Oliver Bonas £10 credit. Got some Mountain Warehouse bargains. Also picked up a puzzle idea from another thread which was helpful. And had a member rescue me with a much wanted Christmas Stitch gift for my daughter.
Thanks everyone and Merry Christmas 🎅🏻

psuedocream3 · 23/12/2023 10:44

Thanks from me too, it's such a lovely thread each year where everyone helps everyone save money and helps each other out. I managed to pull of decent gifts within budget so a huge thank you from me.

I got the White Stuff sock advents, cheap Moet champagne, £1.60 pokemon booster packs, the bargain gaming headsets, bath and bodyworks large sprays for £5, 40% off Airup, £4 Cadbury 850g bar, stacking Argos codes with 20% off sale toys and the large yankee candle gifbox for £17.

For me, the Claires discounts, despite how awful their stock control and customer service is, was probably my best bargain. I have an Aphmau fan, and managed to get blind boxes, other Aphmau bits and some other stocking fillers less than a full price Aphmau plush elsewhere. Saved the day on making the stocking more exciting.

Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you all have a lovely festive day.
