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

Can I ask, Posca pens. 10 year old finally showing an interest after years of seeing them mentioned. Hope might see some in prime….but am I missing something, individual pens are about 3-4 pounds in locked cases in shops…..are they different to the 8pack for 16 pounds on Amazon??

When I lived out there people were excited by thick cut marmalade, lemon curd, and Quality Street and fascinated by marmite and Branston pickle. Apparently curly wurlies also resemble a long ago discontinued but much loved chocolate (that I can’t remember the name of).

I so want to know what the other name for the curly wurlies was 😂😂!

Amazon deals have been a bit quiet for 8/9th ?

Argos has 20% off a lot of gaming furniture until 9th Oct with code Gaming20. I’ve gone for the X Rocker gaming chair (removed link as it shows postcode).

£3 for this Grip strengthener Grip strengthener
ugh I hate when it keeps doing the link thing loads of times - hopefully they work anyway
which looks like a decent stocking filler for fitness types, or anybody who wants a stronger grip I suppose

Primark have an online stock checker so you can see which stores have it , if it helps it seems to be under the menswear section . Oops just seen someone has already suggested this , but maybe it’s in a different section of the store if it’s menswear .

Amazon have 15% off a £25 gift card for Vue cinemas

We're off to Smyths this morning but is it worth waiting to see what's in the Amazon prime sale?

Thank you! Perfect for my hyper mobile DS who is trying to build up muscle tone.

Thanks for the lynx heads up. Such a good price!

Perfume shop offers
Advertised on social media

No worries! Did you manage to get it? I ordered last night but the offer has gone off now!

No but as far as I know, they have different size tips, colours ect which makes the price all change. I know nothing but my DD who loves the pens does know the difference

The quality is very good. Hobbycraft for the last couple of years have done a set half price, I'm sure around November time as I've bought for my son. The colours are still going strong, I've just bought an additional black as he uses that a lot

Yeah managed to get the lynx set!

Smiggle have reduced their advent calendar prices to £25 for the standard one and £30 for the Harry Potter one, although I think prices fell further last year if you are willing to take the risk

@44PumpLane they had one on QVC over the weekend - not sure of the price though.

I just got 10% off at the works using code BABYDEALS10 which stacks with discounted items.

They had 3m gift wrap for £1 including some birthday designs which were urgently needed!

Magic water painting books also down to £3 which are great for toddlers whose parents you don’t want to inflict mess or noise on.

(from a non-code-stealing, appreciative lurker)

I just entered a competition on Rayo and got this offer pop up if it's any good to anyone? £10 off at QVC for new customers

Does anyone want £6 off £60 spend voucher for Argos? Expires 9th october

Thank you for the Lynx find - amazing price!! 😁

For those buying the lynx deal. The 5 sprays are also in B&M for 9.99 and the 5 shower gels I think are 7.99 in B&M

ooh just jumped on the Lynx bandwagon. great find, thank you!

Also have this one. Has had lots of use. Very easy to clean. Also highly recommend!
