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

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

Some of the below is copied and pasted from previous years, so do @ me if the links don't work

Just received my Elf order.

I received 4 x lip gloss and
3 x putty primer. I only added one of each to the order, from the rewards section.

Could anyone please recommend Japanese stationery? Muji wasn't very exciting, i found millions of sellers on Etsy that looks like dropshipped.if you have used a reliable etsy shop please let me know,or anywhere else to look. Really grateful for these threads as they have saved me so much over last year !

IlovePond · 15/11/2024 11:56

ELF orders are sounding quite bizarre- great for some, rubbish for others. Either way, not inspiring confidence moving forwards for me!

I am waiting with baited breath to see what arrives at Pondtowers😹

NWnature · 15/11/2024 11:57

Has anyone managed to stack 30% Laithwaite with a £40 off code? Doesn’t work for me

VeruccaSalty · 15/11/2024 11:02

Elf also didn't work for me. Order was there on PayPal (at authorise stage) but never went through on app even though tried twice. I just gave up as already have the benefit mascara for niece but some lip glosses would have made me Best Auntie Ever.

Edited

I have FOMO worse than a 5 year old with these things Grin

I recently bought some hobonichi stuff from thejournalshop.com - not cutesy kawaii stuff specifically though

Hahaha I know, I am still kicking myself for not using the glitch to get the sock advent calendar last year...

mybrainisbusybeingawesome · 15/11/2024 12:19

Elf order arrived... got two free birthday lip glosses and 3 free putty primers Grin

For £10 I've had tweezer set, 2 lip glosses, 3 primers, one spot wand, two eyebrow pencils and a brow gel. Absolutely chuffed

TK Maxx had some good bargains today. Lots of toys and all their Xmas gifting sections are set out.

I got EVE LOM cleanser red sticker reduced to £5 in the beauty clearance area. Nothing wrong with the packaging, all still sealed so I'm very chuffed.

And the Smashers Light up Dino egg was £6.99. They're £10 everywhere else!

If you have a child that likes the Smashers eggs, Tesco also had a pack of two standard ones for £10.

Thanks for this, have a big dino fan who is getting one expensive but smaller present from us this year so adding a few of those smasher eggs will even out the piles on Christmas morning nicely!

My ELF order is due any time soon so will be sure to update.

Streetcornerchoir · 15/11/2024 12:22

I missed the Elf £10 deal (can’t keep up this year!) but signed up anyway, only added a £4 eyeshadow palette to the basket and it tried to charge postage. Went back on the next day and it had added two of the birthday lip things and the free delivery. Not as good as most people but three items for £4 delivered, can’t complain! Thank you to the OP!

lifelongfrugaleer · 15/11/2024 12:24

I’m undecided about elf. Will sit dd down and see what she wants

Fuckingfuckssake · 15/11/2024 12:26

Not very festive but I'm in the market for a Suri toothbrush if anyone spots a good deal please shout. I've got a £10 off £100 voucher at Argos if anyone could use it?

Streetcornerchoir · 15/11/2024 12:27

Is there a thread for Vodafone codes anywhere please? Still hoping to get the gingerbread at some point!

candlesandflames · 15/11/2024 12:41

Has anybody please got an Argos code for a £100 spend?

Darkbutstarrynight · 15/11/2024 12:49

@NWnature
I don't think both Laithwaites codes work together as they are both for 1st time users...I tried to make my order as close to £80 as that effectively made it a 50% discount

WhereTheresAHill · 15/11/2024 12:51

Another Elf 🐑 here who’s received completely the wrong things 🙃

Callipygion · 15/11/2024 12:52

I’m just back from Tesco and they have Christmas trees on offer today at half price with Clubcard. I got this small one, potted in a basket, with a string of battery powered lights/baubles for £15.

If you follow Lucy Watson on Instagram she often has codes for this - could try variations of Lucy10 / Lucy20 /Lucy and see if you manage to get a discount that way, but I bet she has something around Black Friday

redjoker · 15/11/2024 12:58

My E.L.F order was correct. This all for £15

I was going to gift it but looks like i might be keeping it lol

Iggi999 · 15/11/2024 13:01

@Callipygion that looks great!

Notlongnow1 · 15/11/2024 13:02

On the lookout for a fairy costume if anyone has seen any bargains please!

Wholetthedogsoutwhowhowho · 15/11/2024 13:13

My Elf arrived today, all present and correct so thank you for this!

Stocking fillers for myself. I make myself and dh a stocking as son likes to know that Santa doesn't forget the grown ups as well, but only if they're good!

CalliopePlantain · 15/11/2024 13:14

The Skye candle offer isn’t working for me - it’s saying the voucher isn’t valid for my basket. I added 2 of the 40% off candles, is it only for full price?

Wholetthedogsoutwhowhowho · 15/11/2024 13:15

Was this just on real trees did you notice please? Looked on the website but can't see any offers.
Trying to work out if it's worth the trip as I don't have one that local to me.

SpicyNikNak · 15/11/2024 13:16

Not on the High Street have various things in a 50% off sale today.
