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

Some of the below is copied and pasted from previous years, so do @ me if the links don't work

Thank you to the OP regarding the marble run in Saimsburys. I just got one for DS2 who is 4 in a few weeks, great price! There was quite a bit left in my one, I also got 2 packs of 5 Hot Wheels cars for £6 each which is a brilliant price. They also had some marvel playdough half price. Finally, got a lego friends set, a space one, for £14 down from £25.

Well worth a trip to yours to see what's left!

So glad it's been useful I was quite chuffed with myself 😅

@FilthyforFirth that was me! Glad you found some good toy bargains.

I’m sure the other shoppers thought I was mad scanning all the different products to check the prices, but it was for The Greater Good!

Thank you! Just ordered this for my bird-loving dad along with some refill bags and will get him some chocolate/toffee so he’s got something for him too.

There is a shop in my local MacArthur Glen outlet but I don’t know what it’s called - sorry. Might be worth a trip if you have one nearby

@Trainstrike I think I saw a few hoodies/sweatshirts on the Hollister website - might be with a look.

Take a photo!

Could anyone recommend walkie talkies for 6 year olds? I see a lot of Amazon but reviews can be quite mixed as to whether they actually work!

@Flustration I've name changed. P Louise is cheaper on Tik Tok Shop. I've never paid full price. I don't have an account but teen does.

Oh actually my name didn't change. Strange.

Can anyone explain cash back please?

I always decline as it seemed too good to be true. Thanks.

Paw patrol water bottle for £2 on Amazon

Tempted by the Oodie sale but put off a bit by the delivery issue experienced by some.

I have a 20% code for the official F1 store. No minimum spend if you'd like it

I’m quite impressed by the bridal beauty bag, 15 products, some full size and seem quite expensive with a quick google. I know nothing about skincare and ordered it for my sister so those in the know may or may not be as impressed 😂
I don’t want to ruin the surprise for anyone who might still be waiting on delivery but if anyone wants to see a picture let me know and I can pm it

Hi would you be able to PM me the picture please?

Thank you to the poster who shared the Magic Mixie at Argos link, just collected mine and it looks good for £20

sorry actually it seems I can’t send pictures 🤔

Does anyone have a white company discount code?

@Spaceracers these are identical to the ones we bought for my DS6. They're so good and work from quite far away.

Just had the postie with my bridal beauty box. I've gone through the items and costs to buy would be £244.50. The bag was £30 plus delivery. Excellent value as ever from them.

@Stelmosfire1 me please I'll have a picture

@noodledoodler my two Elemis arrived and I did open them to check but this slightly ripped the edge corner of the box. Still ok for gifting I'm sure the recipient won't notice.

I banged the jars on my hand a few times to get the contents to be at the bottom and no sign of any air bubbles or missing contents

Can you start a separate thread and put spoiler in the title, then people can avoid it, it will save you pming

I’d love to see pics of the bridal beauty bags. I’ve ordered the Christmas edit and will post when received.

Yes, I'd also like to see the mystery bag contents. Was this the Festival edit? I might be wrong, but would anyone actually care about "spoilers"?
