Thread 6 - the one with Otis and the Christmas miracle

[Reastie]

@Cupofteaandbiscuits and @NewtyCutey loved the happy reunited story with Otis.

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)

Love the title and thanks for the new thread @Reastie

Thanks!

Has anyone got a spare argos code please? Just went to use the one I was sent a few weeks ago and realised it’s expired 😬😬

@Ilovepugs2017 i have £8 off of £80 if thats any help?

Cookeez Makery Oven coming to Aldi next Thursday for £24.99, not sure if this is a good price but been seeing some talk of it online

Ah ignore me, just googled and it's the same price in Smyths & Very at the mo!

£21 for this Clarins shower set, allegedly worth £80

Rats, I just tried to buy the Clarins set and got no longer available from the seller message

Thanks to whoever posted about these, got these two for my girls stockings.. so cute! They were £2.99 from One Buy.

I can’t see them - could you possibly post a link? Thanks!

Thanks for the new thread! Is anyone else a little disappointed in the solace mystery bundle? I bought 3 sets expecting there to be a couple of duplicates but instead I have ended up with 3 exactly the same of each. Very good value though and good quality.

Thanks for the new thread

Bear burners

If you add 3 mystery boxes the price reduced to £18.00 per box. You get 3 candles, 6 clam shell melts, and 6 shaped melts.

Bear Burns Boxes

@fluffytail I got the same 3 as you (only bought one bundle). I love the hoops though, DN will like the studs, and I've given the cactus away!

Poor form of them to give you the same one three times really.

Another day another request from nephews for family secret Santa - this time older nephew wanting a Liverpool 22/23 kit, I vaguely remember a few threads back there was mention of a bargain football kit site if anyone can remember the link and/or have ordered from somewhere else and can recommend? Lowest I can see is £45 on sports direct 😭 other nephew we have for DWs kids Secret Santa is coming up to 9, asked for us to surprise him, he is obsessed with football too but trying to think of something a bit out of the box? Thanks wonderful Xmas MN’s - Due DD2 any day now so trying to get prepared early and I think I would literally have lost the plot this year if it wasn’t for these threads 🫣🤣🤣

Sorry I meant One Beyond! 🤦‍♀️

Think somebody might have been asking about Bloom Boutique at a time? Cute personalised jewellery, they have 22% off this weekend with code 'BIRTHDAY'.

@mamaK19
Footballsbest4u is the site we have used for football kits. Really happy with quality but need about 3 weeks for delivery

Has the Solace offer finished? Missed it originally but having seen the pictures of the earrings today would love to get some.

Ooh brilliant thanks @MammaRoly I will have a look now ☺️🙌🏻 ETA had a look and it doesn’t look like they do the kit he is after on there 😩 thank you for the suggestion though will definitely save it as we have 5 nephews in total so no doubt will come in handy in the future 🤣

@MamaK19 No worries! Apologies I couldn't tag you properly on my phone!

Thanks for the benefit mascara code on last thread, just ordered a set

Eightyeightjewellery.com has 25%off this weekend with code TAKE25. I have ordered a few times, can recommend

Is One Beyond online?

Are Argos codes applicable with the TU 25% off? If so, I would be really grateful if anyone has one please?
