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

Aldi had Throw Throw Burrito for £16.99 this afternoon, they also had Throw Throw Avocado & a Sword game in the same bin (same price)

They also had some of the smaller wooden toy sets in again, think I saw cakes, a tea set & something with sausages in the food section then various toolbelts in another section

I went to my local outlet this morning and fell in love with these Spode Mugs from Cook’n’Dine. £19.50 for a set of 4 and they are beautiful. Very good price as well from what I could tell with a quick Google. I now need all the rest of the range!

I can completely understand why PP was upset at mumsnet’s advertising but I don’t think you did anything wrong. Sending an unmumsnetty hug your way as I can tell you’re upset.

Just been rl shopping aldi have some bluey sets one was a recycling truck another a fire engine at £16.99 looked good for the price. My dd has so much Bluey stuff I decided not to get them

Yes x

I can’t find this on Conde Naste site.

my DD would love this how do I access it?

@Yalz you didn’t set out to offend. Please stay with us 😊😊

Oh Yalz you had actually made my day. I thought what you said was hilarious. Not everyone has the same sense of humour and I saw that you were making a very Mumsnet joke.. I mean... We've got pepper grinders described as wanky 😂 we're all grown ups.

Home Bargains has individual packs of Little People for 99p, I know a previous poster was looking for them. I picked up a few for my LO’s stocking, great stocking filler.

They also had the Mellisa and Doug Schoolyard Tumble for £7.99 which is a great bargain - currently on Amazon for £12. Really happy with that as it was on my list!

@Joiedepotato, you were looking?

Could someone who has used the Asda rewards voucher for the sweet tubs help me please. I assume it is a one of use so you can only buy two at that amazing price and can’t buy multiple two for £5’s? Just trying to decide if it’s worth going!

These witchy Crystal sets currently £8-£9 for some versions, maybe good for teens?

@beetr00 yes I was but I don't have a Home Bargains anywhere near me! I was wondering if anyone had seen them anywhere else. Also, shout out to @ZzzzCravingMum who had a look for me in hers, but no luck.

@Joiedepotato any figures in particular?

Those who have an HB nearby could perhaps help?

Yes just a one time use but you can get 2 different boxes so don't need to get 2 of the same type.

@beetr00@beetr00
@beetr00@beetr00 I don't know why it's tagging you so many times! Every time I go to delete it, it just adds another, clearly not my afternoon.

These are the ones we have, I have no other preference, I'd love two and would of course be happy to pay postage if anyone happens across some. Really struggled with toys for my little girl as we bought everything for her older brother already but she loves to play with the ones we have.

Bloody mumsnet driving me nuts this afternoon.

Holy moly how is this thread already multiple pages deep?! I feel like I only just saw thread 6 😂

It says underneath 0/1 used so once it's used one it will not work so 2 tubs per rewards customer x

Boden: S3N5 gets 25% off 27th-31st october

Apologies if it's already been mentioned, currently trying to catch up on the thread. But if you're interested in the softlings foodies plushies (the jellycat dupes) and don't live near a Hobbycraft or One Below/Beyond, I noticed them yesterday in Matalan. They were in the little baskets near the tills, pretty sure they were £4 🙂

@SparklyLimeJoker and @PMAmostofthetime thank you both very much.

Somehow posted on the old thread so I'll try again...Some great bargains on toys and games at https://www.maqio.com/. I got some bargains stocking fillers and party gifts, but there are 'big' gifts on there too. I got Uno Dos for 3.99, fruitonimoes for 2.99, trolls top trumps for 2.99, hot wheels single cars for 1.39, loom bands sets for 1.29, and polly pocket compacts for 2.99. free delivery over £20, and 5% off when you sign up. Everything arrived quickly.

@Joiedepotato I can see if there are any in my local tomorrow? Ill pm if I find any x

Thank you. This is perfect for Granny.
