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

@hby9628 track it and it should give you options to change the delivery to a pick up point or similar.

Sephora have a spin to win on their app, can win a £50 voucher or10, 15 or 20% off. You seem to be able to do it multiple times using different email addresses. I tried 4 times and got 10% off x 3 and 20% off. Worth a go!

Clinique also have a spin to win on their website. You get multiple goes and you can win either a full sized free product or 20% off. I cycled through the products as I wasn't bothered about them and got the 20% off on my last spin. Free delivery and a free choice of mini duo's with TRICK or TREAT.

My Nespresso order arrived yesterday despite having no dispatch or tracking email which is really unusual for them. I could only get the 30 free capsules rather than the extra 50 which was super frustrating given how much we order from them lol but I am so happy to have got a new machine. I accidentally cracked the glass part of our current one and the pop is more compact and looks so much better on my worktop.

I didn’t have a subscription offer code in mine either which I’m pretty sure I read it came with. Did anyone receive one that they aren’t planning on using by any chance?

Spin to win also at Otigina today ... up to 25%, free gift with order and with all orders x 2 free minis at checkout. Free delivery on £35+.

3.4% on TopCashback too but this may not tack with codes but worth trying anyway.

If you have reactive skin I love their Mega Mushroom soothing lotion. Lasts ages too. Happy say it doesn't actually smell of mushrooms

Well DH forgot to cancel the beer subscription, woke to find another box on the door step!!! I did try and tell him!

"forgot"

@44PumpLane qvc have their tsv deal bundle on Monday which has a body lotion, bath milk, toner, marine cream and mask. It's not 100ml but is a great bundle. I think the price is approx £75

If you look ok Instagram for Keeley Aydin she showed it all the other day

@Elphaba17 i can't collect my Nespresso until Sunday as we are away (hope they don't send it back before then) but if when I open it there's a subscription code in I will happily PM you mine

Has anyone had their Cuisinart order yet please? I've had an email acknowledgment of the order but nothing since then.

35% off handmade Christmas company until Sunday

Yes mine turned up really quickly

I ordered mine on 22nd and just had a delivery slot for today (I think, not expecting anything else!)

@Dreamqueen yes mine turned up after total silence too. Very well packaged and a super little machine, so many thanks indeed to the lovely poster that first told us about this deal. I got the cordless mini processor. Very excited to try it out :)

These are absolutely lovely!
There’s something perfect for a colleague I just can’t remember if their ears are pierced or not

Mine turned up - then I got the dispatch notice a day later .

My Dyson refurbished hairdryer with £100 off is expected today for a bargainacious £199- thanks for the tip from a few threads back

02 priority have a free Tony's chocolate bar delivered today

Thank you so much, I would really appreciate that as DH goes through so many pods!

Holland and Barrett have a crack the piggy Bank to reveal your offer today. I got 24% off, but it looks like a fairly generic code. Offer ends midnight

Do you need to be in the app for this? It hasn't popped up for me on the website

@44PumpLane I definitely recommend the set from QVC, but if you’d rather get just the cream (and a bigger size), Boots often have special offers on them. Also, if you want to chance, there’s lots on Vinted/eBay

I have Nespresso envy.
I missed a couple of threads but I've just been paid and I'm determined to get the bulk done.

Got some reduced gazelles for DD on the office site.

I took three attempts at "bargainacious" (I can cope with bargainous at best)

Reminds me of when I heard DS, learning to read, sounding out the word:

"Bugger..."
"Bugger...Niddy"

"Show me the word, DS....ohhhhh, burgundy"

My nespresso due to land today. Yay! Toyed with the idea of it being a gift for my boyfriend, but no, it's home is my kitchen. Happy Christmas to me

Says on the page that you can ask for earrings to get clips on for non pierced ears! the dinosaur necklaces are so cute, and the cow and ducks too :)
