Thread 4 - the one with our Guylian best before fate

It was a toughie to pick the thread title this time!
Thanks to @RainbowZebraWarrior for the title Xmas Grin 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

Has anyone seen any good deals on Neom christmas essential oils?

@thisgirlloveschristmas2024 yes! 'Christmas wish' is only £12.99 at TK Maxx, I did free click and collect to my nearest store.

Thanks to the poster on these threads who recommended it, it's my absolute favourite christmassy smell!

Ooooo yes please if no one else has asked yet! I love the look of their dungarees but not yet treated myself! How do you find the sizing?

Ok I’ll pm you the link shortly. I’m in between a 10 and 12 and have gone for a 10 based on the research I’ve done via reviews that have said their cord dungarees are quite roomy! Can’t wait for them to arrive been after some for ages! 😍

Think the minimum spend is £70 for the 25% off but they do offer free delivery over £59 too.

I'm looking for a bird feeder for smaller birds for my lovely DF but I'm after a robust one if such one exists that's it's on a spike that I can put at the edge of his grass near his patio doors so he can see the comings and goings of the birds - I don't want any to hang from trees as he has these but can't see them from his chair as they are too far down his large garden ( he has very limited vision) , TIA

Not sure if this works but my aunt has one that has suction pads and sticks to her window. I am struggling with signal so can’t link anything but I am sure Amazon would.

If anyone wants one I've put my Laithwaites code on the referral thread ... some lovely gifts for the £40 or less mark so they'd be 2 for 1, actually less if you sign up and use 20% off too

@ShinyPrettyThings87 @Arewesureitisntbedtime thanks for the Sketchers recommendations, these will be great for my DM. I know Sketchers tend to come up big, but unsure which would be best size to get her, she’s usually shoe size 7 (though they can be a bit big), so are you able to advise whether it would be best to go for 6.5 or 6?

If it helps, I have a few pairs of sketchers and usually wear a 5.5-6, and I'm finding the 5 in sketchers a little big. Wish I'd gone down to a 4.5.

I'd go with the 6 if 7s in other shoes are a bit big. It may depend on style though.

Ilovepugs could I please get the Lucy and yak code please?

GermanBite · 09/10/2024 10:47

@BeaLola

We've had ones that stick to the window and, in our experience, only the Robins are brave enough to use it.

We have lots of other birds that use the ones in the trees but they don't come near the house.

I really want to use your code, but it asks for your email address to be able to use it
