Thread 5 - The one where the coffee maker is cause for divorce

[Reastie]

Thanks @Felith for the title!

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

Camelcamelcamel is a great amazon price tracking tool http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com

The following links compare price products including postage
www.find-book.co.uk
www.find-cd.co.uk
www.find-dvd.co.uk
www.find-game.co.uk (as in PS4/xbox etc)

It’s a great shop. I bought 2 handbags for Christmas presents for £29 each instead of £150. I have bought from there before and it’s nice quality.

Hi all, just seen Turtle doves free gloves offer is now with a spend of £25. I've only seen it at £30 or above before

a better way to stop filing up the thread unnecessarily is instead of posting ‘found you’ or ‘checking in’, just click on the downward triangle thing and click watch thread..

also means you can click on the bottom of the screen in the (funnel??!!?) icon to see threads you are watching

@Ilovepugs2017 Boots have 20% off fragrances over £60 you might also have personal advantage card offers and ho thru yop
cash back.

Thanks for the benefit EE code for the porefection set mine arrived yesterday and it's amazing value for money.

These lovely books are down to 7ish quid. But limited amount of them on amazon

The skin care obsessed children in my family love all things Bubble, but I think that would be suitable for the younger end, not the 18 year old.

@redjoker your link isn’t working

Ooo you sometimes get chocolate ones of these in tk too- so good.

That’s amazing, thank you ☺️

I agree

People enjoy the friendly chat and sharing ideas @sorryiasked

Random gift? Denby has their end of season clearance on atm

laptray £15

Wow.. never had someone so rude to be honest. I was asking for ideas and I’m sure people would be sharing discounts / deals.

so just to clarify I’m not allowed to ask for ideas but someone else is?

thanks to those who have helped. I guess I’ll go somewhere else this year

Please don't take one posters words to heart. Most of us are only too happy to help with ideas and I've managed to get some great gifts from other peoples ideas.

Have you got an outlet place near you? Bicester have a Ralph Lauren, it’s normally worth a trip if your after a few bits

In my defence I've been here for many many years. None of us mind specific requests for help and ideas, and are only to happy to assist (search my posts and you'll see that I do this regularly). My point was that such open ended requests for suggestions do take over this bargain thread in the same way that the annual debate on different oodies and tonies etc do, and there are other threads running in the Christmas board that already cover these.
I'm sorry if I upset anyone, that wasn't my intention.

I agree. I don't have a lot of time to trawl through the entire Christmas board, but do like picking up suggestions on here.

Sorry if this has been posted already, but there’s a tamagotchi for £10 on Amazon.

I signed up to vip me with Hotel Chocolat supposed to get 15% off your first order but can’t see it in the app? Any ideas 🤔thanks

@marshmallowmix
they emailed mine a few hours later.

If anyone is still looking for the Lego Creator camera it's currently £13.50 in Sainsburys. If they are out of stock, Argos have the same product with a RED20 code for £14.40.

Just had an email from Lakeland saying 20% off heated throws. Doesn't seem to need a code.

Ah ok I’ve not had an email yet…thanks

@sorryiasked i cringed for you when I read your post, it doesn’t matter how many years you’ve been on the thread. You don’t get to police it and who is this ‘us’ you speak of. It is a public forum.

I agree with you.
