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

My mum did the same with hers and I’ve been so jealous! That’s why I’m treating myself this year and look forward to my lovely mini tree arriving to bring some festive joy on 1 December ❤️🎄

https://amzn.eu/d/g3i1GnB Christmas jigsaw puzzle advent calendar less than £5 if you click on the voucher

I've just tried but I can't see a voucher to choose so it's showing as £9.99 for me, am I missing something?.thanks

Smileatthesmallthings · 25/10/2024 09:00

The Bloom&Wild mini trees were a hit with elderly relatives in a care home for us too. We checked with the home first that they would be ok and they helped set them up and our relatives absolutely loved them in their rooms.

I don't know if it's actually a good deal because I've never bought it but CK Obsession claims to be 74% off at Amazon making it £21 for 100ml

Would anyone have an Argos code they don't need? Have a painful purchase of more than £100 on PS5 accessories and games...

MaybeItsJustTimeToStop · 25/10/2024 09:12

Has anyone seen anything like kiwi co but where the stuff is all available to be shipped to the UK? The sell Stem type sets but they're things like magnetic ice rinks, I think they'd be great gifts but the ones I was looking at they don't ship to the UK.

Does anyone know what the best deal on UGG tasmans are before I bite the bullet? Also are these unisex?

Ilovechristmasfalalalalalala · 25/10/2024 09:35

Has anyone got an ASOS code please? Buying trainers for daughters present amd can only find them on ASOS.

Houseofsardines · 25/10/2024 09:41

Help please- Has anyone got an Argos code or seen a good deal on Fitbit ace 2/3 or just dance 2024/5 game for switch?

hby9628 · 25/10/2024 09:52

Hot diamonds is such a great deal. Thanks ordered a couple of bits.

@TheGodOfSmallPotatoes do you know any students? I got some recently and used a discount code from my friend. Still cost me £90 but it's honestly the best money I've spent in a long time. I love them. They don't often get reduced from what I've seen & I've been considering buying them for 12 months!

MayaTheBusyBee · 25/10/2024 09:53

@Houseofsardines i have £7 off £75 spend at argos if that helps?

MayaTheBusyBee · 25/10/2024 09:55

Are you sure that the trainers aren’t excluded from any discounts (lots of the trainers say that they are excluded)? If not then you might want to try HIASOS, CHILLY, LCTB or HIFRIEND

MaybeItsBecauseImALodoner · 25/10/2024 10:31

I went shopping in Tkmaxx yesterday, loads of Zara clothing all really cheap.. £5.99 for tops and £9.99 for jeans and knitwear. Also loads of Kylie Jenner lip kits 9.99 and Anastasia peachy trio blush set £12.99.

Hi, Tesco had caramel chocolate orange and the mint version yesterday.

fishfingersandchipsagain · 25/10/2024 10:56

Thanks @Ceejadess for the Hot Diamonds heads up.

The SALE50 and JEWELS codes also stacked with a (account specific) 20% basket recovery code that they sent me last week.

Also, if you have shopped with them before, do check if you have any ewallet credit with them. I had just over £5 so in the end got what would have been £200 of jewellery for under £30 delivered.

Of course, as soon as I checked out I say another necklace that would have been perfect for someone, so now looking for more codes 😅 I’m still miffed that they never send me birthday codes.

MsSheldonCooper · 25/10/2024 10:56

@sillygoof a couple of years ago we got my daughter a 3D pen from Lidl and it’s still going strong. It was less than £20 and she was actually using it last night - the stuff she makes is amazing!
