Thread 7 - the one with no name

[Reastie]

Sorry - I panicked with the title

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

@MsSheldonCooper PAYDAYYAFF

Looks like a fab set! I've ordered one for DD and one for DNiece.

The cult beauty code won't work for me! Argh!

I ordered them a day or two after spotting the original email, got no confirmation email, but they arrived a couple of days ago, no email or text or any sort of notification - just a knock at the door! o fingers crossed yours arrive soon...

I did - but not until the day after it had been delivered.

Thank you!

@Restlessinthenorth try PAYDAYAFF

Code EXTRA25 for an added 25% off of sale items at zavvi

I've just spotted A Game of Cat and Mouth on Bargain Max reduced to £9.99 and then there is a further 20% off with the code BOO20 which brings it down to £7.99 - we love this game and I have never seen it so cheap.

My bridal VIP bag is out for delivery tomorrow with Royal mail. It was despatched Wednesday last week.

I assume if it’s the genuine Debenhams website they would have to be. But I’ve ordered some CK Be so can always let you know when it gets here

Yes, I have recently bought Marc Jacobs "Honey" and Cabotine from Debenhams. I'm 100per cent sure they are genuine.

Much appreciated @Badknitter
Debenhams is now owned by Boohoo, just genuinely seemed massively lower prices than elsewhere.

I have actually made air dry clay ornaments with their names imprinted on for my LO to paint (limited to one colour at a time lol) as the gift tags! Just need to find something to tag them too!

Thanks for the replies! I now have a despatch email - due tomorrow. Hope it’s worth the wait!

Me too I didn't realise I would have to have an app though. I am a total technophobe

Got my Nespresso machine and 92 pods! I let Dh to open it and he was happy. I usually give mispriced items as a present for Dh.

@GoodIsGoodEnough £14.22 at look fantastic with code 40PLUS and I think postage is slightly cheaper there too but worth checking.

My 5yo nephew has asked for a Transformers advent calendar. He's autistic and it's one of his special interests (the other being geography). Has anyone seen one about at a good price? My sister saw one on the Asda website, but it's out of stock, and there don't seem to be any on Amazon.

Thanks @imnottoofussed I've already bought them plus a couple of other bits I needed. Cult beauty has a promo running where you get £5 account credit if you spend £25 too!

Hi, LF have an offer on at the moment. Code: REVEAL to see what your discount is. Mine was 22%. I bought the Laneige lip balm set as I have wanted to try it for ages.

I had £10 credit, so ended up paying just £7.99, (as I had to pay delivery of £3.95). I was tempted to spend more to get free delivery, but that’s how they get me every time 😹

Does anyone know where I can find a cat snowglobe?

@hungryhippo if you're not adverse to AliExpress I'm sure I've seen them on there

@hungryhippo7 - they’ve got some on Etsy.

I got quite excited myself about the Disney cats snow globes until I saw they were £100 not £10🙈

You could also try TKMAXX.

Just picked up some navy Haviana’s for £8 for DP from Amazon.

JL advent calendar is back in stock in case anyone missed it first time around.
