@NobodyGivesADamn thanks for 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

@Pandagram i'm on a facebook group called Kits and bits. They do loads of kits and tracksuits that are really good quality. I got a man city and man utd one for my sons last year and they are very robust and still going strong after a year

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Quiiiicccck!!!

Magic Mixies blue lamp is £30 off, down to £20 in Argos today.

https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3376078?clickSR=slp:term:magic%20mixies:10:202:1

Usually £50, occasionally seen at £35. I've been watching it since the summer and it is the lowest I've seen.

For those not in the know, they are "potion" kits, where you add the different ingredients in the box, something visually exciting happens (in this case, mist and fog) and then a toy magically appears.

The lamp and cauldron have soft toys (plus the crystal ball, but we've not had that). The bottles have a hard bodied, long haired dolly, and the smaller kits have little plastic magical animals.

Often, Amazon also have the refill kits going cheaply, so you can make the lamp send out 'steam' again

My DD (8) and DNiece (5) are obsessed with them!

Thank you for this, I've just ordered 2 for my DT's xx

Theimpossiblegirl · 01/11/2024 08:54

Flustration · 31/10/2024 23:15

Can I ask where your DDs bought them from and how often they are discounted? I think £25 is good value for the 3 duo sets, but I only really need one!

Pop the others on vinted or see if anyone wants to go in on them with you and split the cost.

Can anyone recommend where to get a white women’s dressing gown from please. Needs to be XL and “the sort you’d put on after a shower/bath but nice and soft and luxurious” was the brief!

I've not tried their dressing gowns but their tights and leggings are good

Have a look at the Christy sale, another poster had an additional discount code

Georgieporgie29 · 01/11/2024 09:26

Thanks for the heads up on the 50% off at oodie. I got a sleep tee and an oodie for my dd and after I paid it came up with an offer to add another sleep tee to my order for half price again ( it was a licensed one offered so 13.75) just a heads up if anyone else is ordering.

MerylSqueak · 01/11/2024 09:29

I've just been browsing Argos deals and I thought this Kenwood stand mixer down to £180 was tempting

Hi,

FLASH25 gets you 25% off lots of things at LF today.

I am a bit annoyed that the Laneige lip balms go down to £13.50 with this discount, (even cheaper than I paid the other day, plus with these reductions I would have spent more to get free postage 😹)

The L’Occitane a/c is included - goes down to £51.

Travelcrazy · 01/11/2024 09:34

@IlovePond do you have a kink for the Loccitane please, I cant see anything on the site. Thanks

IlovePond · 01/11/2024 09:37

@Travelcrazy - it’s on the LookFantastic app.

Code: Flash25 gets you 25% selected items and the L’Occitane calendar is included x

Me too, I don't know where that came from!

Elpheba · 01/11/2024 09:52

Got my nespresso yesterday and don’t need the subscription offer inside. Does anyone want it? I’ve photographed the orders you’d need to make so if you want the code I can then private message it.
