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-dvd.co.uk
www.find-game.co.uk (as in PS4/xbox etc)

I think 2040OCT takes 20% off a spend over £40 but only on Matalan full priced items.

@boobybum thank you! Saved me £8.40

@Famousthehero what was the code for this? or maybe I missed it. thanks

It was a voucher you could apply, looks like it’s gone now sorry

I'm not sure if that Solace offer is working anymore? Certainly the original link doesn't work. Also, mine arrived this morning, I ordered the silver mystery bundle and two pairs are teeny tiny. Two of the three are the same as the photo from a page or so back and the third pair are so dinky I'm not sure you would notice them even in a toddler's ears. I actually double-checked that I hadn't accidentally ordered the kids bundle. So I would say, don't get your expectations up too high.

that's what I thought - was a great bargain at that price tho! thanks

Sephora have a spin the wheel today only, on app. You could win a £50 voucher or most likely a discount. I won 20% think it is a unique code. I have no need for it.

I love yankee candle but they have changed the wax they use and I'm now finding that around a 3rd doesn't burn.
Outlet shops are great. If you're near or travelling oast east Midlands outlet they have good deals

Home bargains £2.99 candles are very good! We used to buy Yankee ones but prefer the home bargains now! They do a really nice gingerbread one and also the mulled wine

they also do the matching reed diffusers

I agree @AlohaRose i wasn’t impressed and one of the studs was so tiny I couldn’t find them in the pouch. I’m going to put them in the present appeal at work for a tot.

Extra 25% off this perfume with the code FLASH25 which also gives you free next day delivery

Forgot to add this is on lookfantastic

Also it’s off this perfume too 😍

LFTASHLEIGH is giving 22% (I think) off certain items at LookFantastic.
It was on Facebook so must be free for all to use. Xx

Hi, I went rl shopping this pm and noticed that Schmiggle had an extra 40% off their sale items.

I also popped into JL. During a nice chat with the lovely assistant on the Lancôme counter, she mentioned that her concession would be doing a GWP in a couple of weeks or so. Might be worth holding fire on any Lancôme Xmas present purchases from JL for a while to see if this materialises.

@RudolphsDashing
yes please if the earrings are still available. Dgd would love them. Will pm you. No prob if gone.

Ah just noticed it only gives 25% off the full price ones not the ones already reduced 😬

I received a lovely free gift with 2 Estee Lauder products. It’s a small cosmetics bag with lots of travel size products - pic attached.

Was that direct from EL @OnionBag ? Thanks

Our farmfoods had them recently at £13.99 each or 2 for £20 but limited fragrances

@tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz where do you buy these from please?

@Bryna

valentte.com/

No it was in a local department store on the EL counter.

Thanks @OnionBag

I received a Hotel Chocolat catalogue in the post today with these codes if they are of use
