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

My adult ds has just discovered audio books, he doesn't read normally, I have found the gift subscription on Audible. Is there any way of getting it cheaper

And don't forget to also try discount code 40PLUS as it sometimes works on already discounted items to give a bit more money off.

I try this code whenever im buying anything on look fantastic. What it works on can also change from one day to the next

No7 currently have this set on offer

£25 or £15 with a referral code

Thanks for the olaplex advice. I ordered to try! Thanks
for the alternative too @Yalz - I’ll check that out!

Wow this moves fast! Just wanted to say thanks to those with suggestions on the Nike discount 👍

Not very festive but Audible almost always offer discounted subscriptions when you cancel, so it may be that he sets it up for a few months then you can boost it for a bit with offers after - I'm currently paying 99p a month for 3 months again. Spotify also allow a certain amount of audiobook hours in their premium subscription.

Primark have some lovely Christmas ones in at the moment

Character.com has free delivery (for the first 200 users), with the code 200ADFS. I had to use their customer service recently and they were absolutely outstanding. Spoke to a real human, who called me back within the hour with an above and beyond solution. 100% recommend.

Essie Nail polish £4.99 in Superdrug.

Does anyone know of any discount codes for Wonderbly? Only really wanting the one book so unfortunately can't use the 20% advertised on the banner on the website 🙃 thanks x

Can PM a referral code if you’d like one?

I find it really good and my hairdresser also recommends it. 🙂

Ohhh that’s useful to know I didn’t know they do dupes as well.

previous Christmas I’ve done Marvis ones but I thought I’d change it up with the different Hismile flavours

They are a thing of beauty aren’t they

Fucking hell for the price they should be the nuts!

Code JINGLE gets £10 off books.

Thanks for the olaplex deal, been wanting to try it for a while. Sone also have 25% off too (for singles day, didn't realise that was a thing?!) and the code and samples still work with those.

D6Q4 gives 20% off at Boden at the moment (with thanks to Microsoft Edge for finding it for me during a purchase online earlier today) I hope that helps someone!

Deans shortbread have their Black Friday hamper half price now only £24.10 Subscribe to their newsletter and you get 10% off £21.69 delivered. Lots of nice things you could split up for different people.

20% off virgin experience days with Xmas20 - I'm looking at a race experience for DS in 2 super cars for £39 which I'm hoping he'll love!

Can anyone recommend a karaoke machine? Joint present for the DDs. Both love their music and one has singing lessons. Definitely need to be able to Bluetooth to it but feel a bit bewildered by choice. Budget probably £100-150

Just your foot :)

Does anyone know the dares ASOS normally does black friday? I heard it was 80% off last year but not sure if that's gospel...

Hope the link works, a Gabbys dollhouse ukulele, £5, down from £30 at argos. No idea if its any good, but I've just ordered for our Gabby mad almost 3 year old and hopefully picking it up tomorrow morning

Any Debenhams discount codes available please ?
