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

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

Camelcamelcamel is a great amazon price tracking tool http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com

The following links compare price products including postage
www.find-book.co.uk
www.find-cd.co.uk
www.find-dvd.co.uk
www.find-game.co.uk (as in PS4/xbox etc)

I've been in a few of my local stores and they don't have either of the kits mentioned on here so it's definitely store dependent.

ELF rewards stack very well

the 25% was bluelight/charity discount but they also do student

If you get to £30 you can add two free mini products

My birthday offer only showed up after I placed my order

I can’t seem to stack my grad beans discount with it 😬

Oh also, if your 9yo likes Lego type stuff (this is off brand) then this Bulbasaur is currently reduced to £20

Sorry if it’s already been said but do I just download the elf app? Is there any specific codes?

Regarding ELF and GradBeans

You have to make sure your basket is £15 AFTER the discounts or the reward for £10 off £15 won't apply. It definitely all stacks 😊

Thank you! This is why mine wouldn’t work then….🙈

Would it be cheeky of me to use another email to use the elf offer again 🙈😂

RE- ELF codes

Try SORETO15

Hobbycraft had cricut stuff on special offers this weekend

Thank you for this, perfect gift for my hard to buy for 13 year old!

The Mega Pokémon sets are really brilliant. He has loads on his shelves and they make such nice display pieces. Lots of bricks per set too so they're a good lengthy build.

Made the same mistake myself this morning 😂

@redjoker what are you putting in the search on Bluelight for elf? I’ve tried just that, and elf cosmetics but nothing coming up (except elf the musical 🤣)

B&M had a load of Moriah Elizabeth in my store yesterday

Couldn't find it on Blue light. Had to apply through here:
https://www.elfcosmetics.co.uk/essential-workers?srsltid=AfmBOoqw4Gq4_v3isnxXbcMHyRblIFw69UcuT244--Hu7OmGnGJVR6G_

I downloaded the app, created an account and then went onto the website on my desktop and it showed the new user code at the top when I logged in. If that makes sense and I added all 3 codes to my basket.

Our B&M had it too I just can't bring myself to pay full price for it when it's such tat!

Yes same here. Did everything via the E.L.F site :)

I'm trying to catch up with the posts but failing miserably! Can someone let me know what DJ mixers you're looking at? Son has asked for which I know will be a 5 minute wonder but what can you do! I have no idea what I'm looking for.

ELF DISCOUNT:

Download the app,
Sign up for an account and remember it's your birthday tomorrow 😉😉😉

If applicable, get your student or key worker discount here:

Add the free delivery, free birthday gift and £10 off rewards.

Checkout :)

I have lingered on the ELF website for about an hour- I told them tomorrow was my birthday

A gift appeared in my basket
FREE BIRTHDAY Lip Plumping Gloss

Was it after an hour or so it showed up then? I noticed mine showed up after I placed an order but considering doing another order with my other email address

Anyone have a free deliver code for house of Fraser/game/sports direct? Not in stock locally and they want £4.99 delivery, even for click and collect!!

Yep just showed up, I am yet to place an order with them. I refreshed my bag and it appeared in my awards at the top- nothing in emails though so i wouldn't have known!
