Thread 8 - the one with Poopy the troll

[Reastie]

@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

Has anyone smelt Ariana Grande Cloud? I may or may not be ready to cave and buy myself something whilst browsing all the bargains, but don't know anyone who has it and haven't been able to have a cheeky sniff at any stores. I'm more a fan of sweet smells rather than floral if that's of any help? Or alternatively any other suggestions?

Glad to see these gold bath fizzers back at B&M, my DS thought they were very cool last year.

Cloud smells gorgeous and I’d say more sweet than floral!

Really soft and sweet, but not fruity. Think: a giant marshmallow! But plenty of adults wear it, it's not childish smelling either.

Would anyone please have a discount code for Nip + Fab? I've checked the referral page but nothing on there.

@IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile SB-ZPQ2 for 15%

I’ve missed the offer on Ariana grande cloud; could someone direct me? want to get some for dd2. Managed to get Lego adventure from Amazon for £65, still a lot but way less than £114 than Argos wanted, it’s been at around £90 for ages. Happy with this!

The Clinique Black honey/pink honey almost lipstick gift duo is only £19.95 at Parfumdreams. It’s £28 pretty much everywhere else and it’s practically a must have for my 17 year old dd and her very fashionable friends at the minute!

I'd like a copy of that too!!

I bought the cloud perfume when it was an offer from these threads last year. I absolutely love it and use it for casual days. I was worried it would be teenagerish but it's not at all.

I'm currently looking at it in Boots £36.66 or 100ml

Free delivery at Disney store code FREEDEL no minimum spend and works for sale items too.

ends at midnight tonight

Would anyone have a discount or student code for the Nike website please?

Ds has asked for a specific pair for Christmas and as he is now into men's shoe sizes £175 + for a pair of trainers he will grow out of in a few months is painful!

Bloody hell people I can't keep up 🤣

mollshandmade.com has lovely little jewellery bits, and very reasonable. even stainless steel dinosaurs! Most of it well under £10, perfect for stocking fillers

@issantahereyet thats great thanks, I’ve got a couple of advantage codes it should stack with actually!

I've just sent you a code for 10% off.

My young teen would like a metal detector . However I’m on a tight budget and don’t want to waste it in one that doesn’t work. Any recommendations?

@FilthyforFirth thank you so much. That's a huge help.

It’s a lovely sweet fragrance - go for it !

The 100ml Ariana grande cloud is £36.66 on Amazon too

It wasn't, but this is a good thread, thanks!

Yesssss this was it! Thanks so much 😊

Some discounted Lego on Amazon too. The 3 in one roller skate combo and some of the other 3 in ones are reduced.

Thanks for the boots offers heads up… treated myself to this for £24.44 with the 15% off advantage card offer and buying a gift card via jam Donut 😊
