Sorry - I panicked with the title Blush

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

Some good % off deals just announced from Boden. Seems to apply to everything except gift cards.

Code to use is S3N5 for the current 25% off deal.

This interactive globe is only £19.99 at Smyths with free delivery so no need to find something for 1p to get the delivery free! Seems to be £50 everywhere else!

Leap globe

If anyone remembers the bargain £5 t shirts from amazon from 3 years ago I just found one in cardboard sleeve amongst the box of Halloween decorations lol

Beautifulsunflowers · 27/10/2024 09:33

I need ideas for my nieces aged 16, 20, 22
budget £20

previous hits have been pj,s and a book, make up, cocktails, gin for the eldest……just this year I’m fresh out of ideas.

DirtyDensDog · 26/10/2024 23:58

For me, the voucher didn't show but when you go through checkout it says multi buy savings £6.

@DirtyDensDog is that not £6 as in should be £12 for 2, but your getting them for £9 so multi buy saving £3 and you got two sets so £6? X

Beautifulsunflowers · 27/10/2024 09:39

argos have 20% off some Lego
they also have a cute Lego gingerbread people kit which would be good if anyone does an advent box. Only £11 which I think is quite good!

Famousthehero · 27/10/2024 09:42

A few Lego reductions at Selfridges, including the little polar bears for £6 and various dots sets

Dinosweetpea · 27/10/2024 09:47

I ordered my cuisinart blender on Monday and heard nothing since, did people say they were coming v quickly?

PoisedGoldBiscuit · 27/10/2024 09:52

Can I ask for Nintendo Switch help please? I'd like to buy the bundle with either Sports or a Mario Kart game. Will definitely need to get another couple of controllers too. Am I best using Very and the 10% new customer deal? That should bring the console and sports bundle to £230ish.

Also, if anyone else is struggling to keep up and keeps losing their place, just select the 'bookmark' option after the last post you read and it'll take you back there each time! It was super obvious when I first tried it, but I only started using it this year 🙈

That is SO clever

Some great rates on cashback with various companies on Jam Donut. I use Quidco too but love Jam Donut as the cash back is instant. I’ve earnt nearly £20 already just from normal purchases in places like tesco, jd sports etc.

Ive popped my referral code on the referrals thread if anyone wants to use it.

Oh sorry! For once in my life I didn’t try to buy everything on sale, so didn’t get that far

PurpleSkittler · 27/10/2024 09:58

I saw a couple of the new season Lego Dreamzzz sets on clearance in-store in Sainsbury's, one with 50% off....

(only just catching up with the thread, so I didn't know to look out for Vampire Mice 👀)

No Vampire mice found at our Sainsbury’s sorry

It's not cheap, but this is a cracking deal just released from Neom. The contents could be split for different recipients. I can recommend every single item as I have them all, and people always comment on the Real Luxury scent when they come to my home. It's one of their best, I'd say.

If you were on QVC yesterday they had Neom single wick candle , reed diffuser , 500ml body wash and one other product I can't remember in a choice of 3 scents all for £64 .
Ekemis coming up soon
