Thread 9 - the one with a kink for L’Occitaine

[Reastie]

Thanks @Travelcrazy for the title. It really tickled me!

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

Stock informer is a handy site http://www.stockinformer.co.uk/default.aspx?fullsite=1

@Fuckingfuckssake the chocolate latte sachets are on the hotel chocolat website but they are dated end of November which is why they are cheap

Also a note to anyone who buys the sachets from the outlets they are usually very short dated too sadly

Thanks @Justhereforthechristmasthreads but I still can't see them! Am I being daft? Is it just the usual website?

They are here 😃

Minecraft advent calendar down to just under £13 on Amazon

Thank you @redjoker

Some ELEMIS down to £37 here if you like. I'm keeping an eye on amazon for any big glitches again

@Inbetweendreams I go to Disneyland Paris a week today if you wanted a really special one.

Thanks Reastie

For Elemis lovers

Russell Hobbs stand mixer. Hard to tell but think this is 39.99

Says it's 120 quid in argos?!

I have this one and it’s good. I think I paid about £80 for it. I’m just about to replace it with the bargain cuisinart one though.

If you’ve ordered from Hollister in the past check your emails for a 20% off code (ends today though)

@LostMyRubySlippers
Sorry I've just been on there again and can't see it. It popped up as a good discount. 20% I think. That said. We did loads of research but then bought second hand from Vinted. But on great condition. Worth a look if you're not sure. But they've been a bit help to our DD for a couple of years. Happy to share more info if helpful.

sorry think the above was for @Twinsandsome not me! 😊

@Entertherubicon I've just had an email today from Hotel Chocolat with a code for £20 off a £90 spend, valid until midnight on 10 November. I won't use it so you can have it if you like.

Ryderwear have 50% off site wide for another hour or so. The sale is only on for 2 hours.
Good if you have gym goers to buy for.

Minecraft advent would be ideal for DD!

Thanks @PoisedGoldBiscuit more than happy to have a second hand one if it’s cheaper unfortunately marketplace where I am I can only see ones that are still £150-£200 mark which I was hoping to spend a bit less than that if poss 🤞🤞

oooh thanks @Waffles21 that looks perfect 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Have a look at the craft gin club. You get a full sized bottle of gin, plus mixers to make several cocktails, snacks and a magazine with recipes in. They also sell the mixers etc on their website separately.

Ha love the thread title. These mini fridges are half price apparently

fridges

I would be interested in hearing anyone's experience of the mini fridge. My nine year old son has asked for one but I don't even know what he would put in it. He is only allowed fizzy drinks on a Saturday. Fine cheeses?

Ooooh is this still available? I was thinking of buying the advent calendar.

Guruum home fragrance bundle for £17 worth £50

Thanks to everyone in the last thread with the cheap earbud recommendations!

Has anyone seen deals on Ugg better than 10% off? I’m looking for Tazz slippers but best price I can find so far is £95 (including discount)
