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

Hi @DangerousMouse Grin I've just checked and think it's asking for your email? X

Strangely I received the £40 off link in my junk box, I don't know if it's connected to you or not!

Famousthehero · 09/10/2024 12:42

The Magic mixies crystal balls are both at £30, and the Refill packs to make more mist are £6, which is half price

edit - I did get the pink one for £25 a few weeks ago, so this isn’t the very best price

Babynumberthreeee · 09/10/2024 12:50

I know theres been lots of bath bomb chat and saw these in primark today but didn't buy one so it could literally just be a piece of tissue paper

Anyone else missing items from Whistlefish order? 🙈 Didn't receive the five sheets of festive wrap and three packs of gift tags. 😬

Cos1970 · 09/10/2024 13:25

I can’t remember who asked about shower steamers but these are the ones they have in Home Bargains.

Try Matalan i hope you find something there. If not, Dunelm?

The Range often have lovely Christmas bedding in and they do brushed cotton and the fleecy type of material too.

MayaTheBusyBee · 09/10/2024 13:32

Is Gruum some sort of money laundering scheme? They seem to be giving stuff away all the time…

free bundle for English Heritage members…

@Cos1970 thank you so much! My very hard to buy for DH will absolutely love those in his stocking.

Willow4987 · 09/10/2024 13:57

@MayaTheBusyBee god knows! But that offer works even if you’re not a member

Ahhhhh i don't know whether to go for it for wait for black friday 😅😱

WimbyAce · 09/10/2024 14:08

Went real life shopping today. No sign of Sainsburys toy sale so must be next week. Had a good browse in B&M, great gift ideas/stocking fillers in there so I will be back! Had to collect something from the Entertainer and spotted these, great if your kids are like mine and love squishies, only £1 each.

Went into Lidl the other day and they have released a new range of toiletries, all of which are dupes for brands like Sol de Janeiro, Lush (a couple of others I can’t remember)…

they will make great stocking fillers, I have tried a few already and I’m a huge fan!

WimbyAce · 09/10/2024 14:12

Also my Peppa Pig Waterpark arrived today from Amazon and for £15 is a decent size/present. I believe it's still £15 on Amazon and Argos.

bizzey · 09/10/2024 14:12

All of my Whistlefish arrived .
All presnt and correct !

If anyone needs something to put in the basket to bump up price for free delivery/special offers ..
