Thread 4 - the one with our Guylian best before fate

[Reastie]

It was a toughie to pick the thread title this time!
Thanks to @RainbowZebraWarrior for the title For those interested, our fate is best before June of next year and the offer was regarding Guylian choices at B&M.

Greetings and welcome one and all to a friendly and joyful corner of mn - the Christmas bargain thread. Here, we share Christmas present purchases, ideas, links and discount codes, with the aim to spread the Christmas magic and joy and reduce the financial stress.

It's a very busy thread, so see the tips below for helping everything run smoothly and avoiding repetitions of Cookiegate etc al. It's a lovely, friendly bunch and I'm so grateful to each and every one of you for building such a warm, fuzzy and generous spot on mn. I know I've save so much over the years and am so grateful to all of you for sharing.

Pull up a sleigh and relax with a mulled wine and mince pie, for Christmas has nearly arrived!

@ me if you need anything or you want to let me know anything - the thread moves so fast I can't always keep up so this really helps

A few pointers to make everyone’s life easier and the thread be as useful as possible:

• It’s handy to put in bold the bargains so they’re easy to spot
• No affiliate links
• No need to place mark or post messages of hello or thanks at the start of a new thread - use the ‘watch thread’ button
• Be nice or leave

The current referral thread for sharing referral codes https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/4940918-4940918-bargain-referrals-thread-6 . Please use this rather than this page to share referral links to make the sharing fair.

To make clicks links, you set it up like this only without any spaces apart from between the website and the word(s) you’re writing: www.bargainsahoyeveryonecomehere.co.uk

Thanks @RainbowZebraWarrior for the instructions below.
To make something bold, put this star * either side of the word you want to bold (with no spaces in between)

So starhellostar would look like this.

hello

Obviously use the * not the word star

Some of the below is copied and pasted from previous years, so do @ me if the links don't work

Stock informer is a handy site http://www.stockinformer.co.uk/default.aspx?fullsite=1

Aye, I think they may have been as little as £10 by December 1st.

Thank you to whoever recommended cook, serve enjoy. Just received my.package, beautifully packed and lovely quality items.

Quote fail the first time. Yes please if not already gone!

I have done this via moonpig you buy a card and can add a hellofresh or gusto box as a voucher though

Just a reminder that anyone with a blue light card can get 40% off full price at kurt geiger. I always forget so whilst I remember thought I'd post!

Thankyou for the TurtleDove alternative idea whoever sent it, I have just bought myself some

Lovely small business too

Is anyone still waiting on whistlefish dispatch email?

I have emailed them this morning to enquire about my order

I ordered last Sunday and received despatch email this morning.

Me

Also still waiting on Whistlefish but have ordered from them before and been happy so am quietly waiting. Nothing on my order was urgent and our post is awful so the delay may be nothing to do with them.

Morrisons Have a lego sale on BTW
and toys in general it seems

That was me. She's fabulous (she was diagnosed with MS during the Pandemic and had to give up her job which is why she now makes these beautiful things). The items come beautifully packaged, too.

Just had an email back from whistlefish….

Argos have 25% console games at the moment - selected ones with the code GAMING25

ends tomorrow

I've had a looksie throughout the entire store every time and it just doesn't seem to be in. It definitely was when the Halloween items first came out. Maybe my area just has a higher number of Scream fans than I thought 😆

I PMd you the code

Thanks for the heads up! Do you have a link for the colouring books please? Don't know whether I'm just being dim or whether they've sold out! More than likely the former lol

Edit: nevermind, I found them!

Good morning 😊
eBay have 15% off some sellers, with the code LEAFY15 It ends tomorrow though. I noticed it included The White Stuff, so thought it might be good for someone.

P.s Sorry I keep posting pics, I have no idea how to do links 🤦🏻‍♀️

Does anyone have a recommendation for a chocolate fountain please? My 8 year old daughter has requested one, so I don’t want to spend megabucks on a heavy duty catering style one. But similarly would like one that actually melts the chocolate as some of the reviews on the cheaper ones say they don’t, thanks.

Lynx offer is back on. If you do it via subscribe and save (cancel that after it arrives) it works out £8.97!

This message will be in two parts, and is for anyone who'd like to know how to insert clicky links...

First copy the web address/link that you want to insert. Then, in the message you're drafting, put the cursor where you want the link. Then click on the following icon...

.... then paste the web address in the 'Link' box and write a short description of the item/ what the web page is linking to in the 'Text' box. The link will appear in your message as a clickable link with whatever text you have put in the 'Text' box.

Hope that helps?! 😁

Was it a marathon bar? They look very much the same 🙂

Please forgive me, for I am an idiot, is it supposed to resemble those super neat links where it will just say something like 'Boots offer' or is it supposed to look like a normal link, but blue?

I did just attempt it, but I'm 99% certain I'm still doing it wrong 🙃
