Thread 10 - the one with a rubber dick each

[Reastie]

Thanks @CalliopePlantain for the title. Lord of the Rings rubber dick anyone?!

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

It depends what size and colour, SockShop have some at £21

Edited to add - go through Quidco or TCB also

Does anyone have a spare argos code please? I am spending £150.

I got both dds the Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Jet Set for £23. It has a body lotion, shower gel and body mist.

There are 12 and 14 and I'm thinking I've wasted my money

Late to the party but what was the olaplex deal again and can recommend any for fine hair?

Mmm so there's over 1000 products excluded from discounts/referral credits at Look Fantastic. Bit rubbish

Might be worth a look if anyone needs fragrances

It looks better on the website. I think I zoomed in too much 🤣🤣

You haven’t wasted your money, they are so popular amongst those age ranges. I’m sure your DDs will love them

I’ve bought these candles as gifts in the past and they have been well received. They have a bit more of a special feel than a regular candle

The Olaplex deal was that if you purchase anything from their website and add the code PRESENT then they add a £16 bottle of their No3 which is a pre wash conditioning treatment. It also lets you add a 20ml sample.
I bought the £11 shampoo and got the freebies. It is also free delivery.

Does anyone know of any Hobbycraft discount vouchers? I’m going to be buying a fair amount of bits for my craft mad daughter! Thank you

JD have a sale on Nike these high top dunks are reduced to £75 https://m.jdsports.co.uk/product/white-nike-dunk-high-womens/16147234/?cmmmc=googleshopgoogleshopping--pla&istCompanyId=9c5cf6f7-3142-4f9f-be57-2fce9c67adfd&istFeedId=014e8b49-620d-4e56-9e87-79529c403af2&istItemId=rwwxtatlt&istBid=t&applink=1&gadsource=1&gbraid=0AAAAADqUegeTxoM5Dnr6QR05XZaqdAPxk&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0MG5BhD1ARIsAEcZtwQGrX-3is9YDBKo4dbfyVBemL4Xv-kTmKwJnhD2oLE30NITpQn0R4aAmC9EALw_wcBDunks

Sorry about the ginormous link

@Oreyt your DDs will love those sets! And £23 is a good price. I wouldn’t worry at all.

@Thelifeofawife
I've tried to buy the replacement candles but I've only seen them available if you buy the jar too.

I read you can make the Yankee votives fit somehow?

The 20% off over a £40 spend has just finished, but we've just been to Hobbycraft this afternoon and they have loads of Black Friday savings on. We have the Hobbycraft app and I think it gives £5 off your first spend and then you get vouchers regularly (we'll we do anyway as we are there every week)

@Dolphintrainer

Yes if they weren't on offer I wouldn't have got them.

This year I've told myself I'm not buying any Victoria Secret sprays!!

Thanks to all for the olaplex deals.

@WimbyAce It's BOGO

My DD loved it. Perfect size for a holiday and she's asked for more Bum Bum cream.

La Redoute have an extra 11% off quite a few items until tomorrow with the code TREAT11 and also some singles day discounts.

Hi, does anyone know of any discount for Marks & Spencer going?

They only do discounts now via the Sparks app (like 20% off womenswear etc)

@STom2 think it depends on how determined you are. I called up resolved to cancel no matter what they offered and it was relatively painless. My friend however has been 'trying' to cancel for 4 years and is still signed up 😂 he's had a lot of free beer in that time though whenever he tries to leave!

This makes me think of Chandler and Ross trying to quit the gym 🤣
