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

Adding my games night contribution of unstable unicorns. We had to YouTube it the first time we played as noone had a clue what was going on but after that it was great fun, completely ridiculous and family friendly

@Mads96 If you still have the photobox codes could I have one please, I usually get a photo calendar for a relative at Christmas

@WideFootWelly how do you get a second set for 2 quid, it’s charging me 10

@HedgerowRobin Thanks for the Bath & Body Works offer, that’s a couple of things for my nieces sorted, and I may have dropped a couple in the basket for myself 😁

For those of us who get Christmas delivery’s from the supermarket do you tip your driver? I get delivery’s all year round and it’s never entered my mind to tip them . But got talking to a friend who said she always tips them when it’s her big Christmas shop. Now I feel awful .

For the OUTSMARTED game people ...
I definitely think it needs to be set up on laptop/pc before you start the game.

There was aot of downloading stuff if I remember..at least a half of a bottle of wine stuff due to the waiting around !

Cuisinart sales ...is playing games with us !

On ..off..on off..

Just saying !
It was back on a while ago !

I never tip the supermarket delivery person. Not thought about it really. I get someone different nearly every time so that plays a factor. I do however tip the bin men. They really do over look a slightly open bin if you are nice to them.

Debenhams outlet sale .
Looks fun !

@Champers00 did you notice if they had in the draw your own calender a previous poster has mentioned? I'm going to try and go into town before it gets busy with Christmas markets so be nice to know they might have it 🤞

I'm such an over thinker, are you putting your names on the labels or from "the XxxxxS" I've changed it so many times before ordering as don't know if I'll use a full set with one name on them 🤦🏻‍♀️

I thought that too, but if you scroll down it took the £10 off in the basket.
