Thread 11 - the one where I’m nostalgic for a cinnamon bum kit

[Reastie]

Thanks @Beautifulsunflowers for the title. It was close between that and E.L.F on a shelf and some others - too many to choose from!

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

Queer Romances any good?

Does anyone have any idea where I can get nice satin pjs for teen DD? She wants long sleeved/long legs and pastel colours. She's not tall enough for adult sizes.

Tried all the obvious clothes shops. I don't mind paying for food quality, the only ones we can find are on amazon which would cost likely fall apart after one wash!

Hoping someone might know of a lesser known brand?

Thank you

great quality compared to the Amazon made in/posted from china thingies. £21 something each if you buy 3.
On another note, on another thread, poster mentioned Dior bundles with two minis for around £20 from their own website. Can’t find any, has anyone seen them this year? Many thanks

Just had this in an email. Starts TOMORROW

ONE tub of sweets for £2 when you spend £45 (not including the sweets) and scan your More Card at Morrisons

We got some gorgeous satin pyjamas at Night Store last BF. Really good price and personalised embroidery for just a couple of pounds more.

Has she read Nimona? Absolutely excellent LGBTQ graphic novel that I have bought for all the teens I know.

Here's the link to The Night Store for satin pyjamas. Currently 60% off everything for Black Friday. Can highly recommend as they are great quality.

Wow thank you for the quick replies on the satin pyjamas, off to check them out

@Beingacatbed thank you! I've been REALLY struggling on stocking things for my DS. His sister is currently doing very well out of Benefits makeup offers and PLouise. At 14, it's just getting more tricky!

Think this is quite a regular offer but Amazon have a couple of different cases of mcguigans wine on offer where you can tick to apply a discount. If you also do it as subscribe & save then it brings the price down to approx £25 for 6 bottles

Ancient and brave collagen

Code KATIESNUTRITION gives 20% off, it works on subscriptions too. I got the true collagen down to £18.75 with free delivery. It looks like a social media code, I don’t know the original person.

There’s a £10 referral scheme, I don’t know if it stacks. I’ve put my code on the referrals thread

Hi I've seen some people asking about m n s discounts. At the moment they have 15% student discount on mens women's and home ware if that helps and you know a handy student. Unfortunately not on kids wear for the pjs I need!

My Laithwaite's wine and cheese hampers have come....2 hampers and some separate red wine was a total of about £42 as used referral off the referral thread to get £40 off a first £80 order. They've got some lovely hampers of food and wine gifts, as well as deals on (multi packs) of wine etc

@SootspriteSearcher did you get manga on Harper Collins site? My boys are just getting into it but I haven't a clue and it's hard to pick up secondhand!

No 7 brush set down to £5.06 at boots would make a nice stocking filler

Looks great! Could you link the referral thread please, would like to buy

Another thank you for the Harper Collins code, £50 later. I must not buy anymore books, also need to step away from this thread 😬

Out of stock now 😞

@Ceejadess
I am rubbish at linking but if you go to page 1 of this thread reastie has kindly added the link in the first post. I have popped my referral code on there, but there are others :) Add the code, make sure the order initially totals over £80 then it will apply it automatically

Not sure what happened with my elf order, but I ordered a full size and mini toner, and a lip balm. £7 delivered. Great price, and I really needed toner - and am trying not to spend money on impulse purchases.

What I received looks good, but apart from the mini toner is not at all what I ordered.

Do I go through the faff of returning?

Do you have a link please?
