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

Which was the ariana grande cracker please so I can also watch?!

Also has anyone seen any good mini gift sets, perfume, for a younger teen girl? She's just getting into beauty stuff so no preferences yet...

@Twonka / @ClaraLane could one of you link the nesting fleece? I've had a look on that site but can't see it...

Ariana Grande cracker, we paid £14, now £28 so worth putting a watch on it cracker

@Thelifeofawife if you happen to live near a HC outlet, ours has the latte sachet boxes on 2 for £12 for the velvetiser. Might be a nice treat if your DS prefers coffee now.

Getting the comfies on and the fire lit so I have the scene all set for the first fancy hot chocolate!!
Just missing a Christmas tree but that’ll be up in a week or so - I’ll report back ☕️

I've lost track of the post asking about alpaca wool products but can highly recommend Alpacaly Ever After, Cumbria based social enterprise that help alpacas and do lots of activities including walking through lovely grounds at Derwentwater. 15% off the shop including activities with code HappyHarvest until Monday.

Notino have lots!

Thank you SO much for posting about this!! Great offer.

All three of my DC want one for Xmas after admiring mine when I purchased it.

I ordered three £25 ones (diff colours). It also gives an extra 10% off when you spend over £50 on certain ones so they came down to £22.50 each at checkout then I had a £5 in points offer when spending £50 in one transaction that stacked.

Anyway all in all I’ll have three oral b electric toothbrushes for £67.50 and then £25 back in points on my boots card!! So a great bargain - so happy! 😃

I have a birthday voucher off converse for 25% off full priced items if anyone would like it? I’m not gonna use it at the mo as the pairs I’ve got will last me a while longer….

Lego - Very have Main Street for £60 at the moment - it’s usually £125 and as far as I know it’s never dropped below £75 so a good main present for any lego fans. Chamber of secrets £75 too.

If anyone uses the website Discounts for Teachers, they currently have an offer of 20% on top of the 25% that is already off some products on the Charlotte Tilbury website.

Someone was looking for a pink mini fridge, but even certain it was this thread but just in case…

Sorry my post at 19.28 is wrong. It's 20% off full price at CT.

It is 30% off at The Entertainer. I bought it from Amazon on Prime day for the same price so might be a good bet. Sorry if someone else has posted this, I’m just catching up.

Mama Surprise Guinea Pig

Apologies if it's already been mentioned but the £1 oodies are back - they go live 6pm on the 6th november

@Ilovepugs2017 I’d love the converse voucher if it’s still available, thanks so much

Yes still got it, I’ll pm you 😊

I can’t find it on there now
I'm sure it was there this morning

I actually bought mine off Etsy here
Alpaca hair for nesting

Thank you so much x

Can anyone share the details of the Ariana grande perfume? I've had it in the past as it's not a bad dupe of baccarat rouge 540

This is down to £15 on Amazon instead of £60 for 110ml

Quite a few of the genuine OODIES are down to £11.99 on Amazon with limited time deal

Bit niche but anyone seen any gifts with shamrocks or possibly anything with an Irish theme. For an older lady rather than a teen type gift. I was sure I’d seen really nice crockery but could possibly have dreamt it. Up for any suggestions x

Discount Dragon have a Yankee Candle Mango Peach Salsa large jar for £8.99 for the next 11 hours or so. Postage is 4.99 for orders under £30 but that still makes it a bit of a bargain (and you can buy up to 6 of them if you want).
