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

@TheCrow
Some people aren't happy with just a discount.

Yes me too

Just placed another ELF order . My original one arrived today with the two free lip glosses.

Had the free duo lip oil and lip gloss set added to my account , then it let me add a free travel mascara , two free anti aging serums , and free delivery . I was swapping between the app and website , so don’t know if got confused , but will be happy with all the freebies , along with the items I actually paid for .

@Callipygion I've just bought one too! (A Tesco planted tree)

How many nieces do you have? I’d be happy to send you some of mine if you want? I’m not gonna use 4 🙈

I’ve just been to B&M - lots of alphabet sacks and stockings but only in cream.

In Aldi, lots of giant Kevin the Carrot and small Secret Agent Kevin’s, (which I didn’t particularly like).

They also had extendable honks for £12.99 and these.

Might be worth keeping eye on rewards app- I currently have a coupon for £5 off £30 on trees/ lights?

Love the idea of an extendable honk 😂

oversized hoodies, any other brands aside from White Fox that I need to be considering so I can get dd 15 out of her boyfriends one?
Also, for same dd, looking for a nice perfume, she liked Ariana Grande’s Cloud last year but wanted to get something different
thanks in advance

I must have missed the free chocolate on 02

Speedo have a 50% sale and have some nice swimming hats even a festive one. Might be a fun advent gift.

The little candle co - highly recommend for wax melts, great Jo Malone inspired scents. 20% off everything including sale with code BLACKFRI

🙈 @Mumto3thatsme - that’s what happens with autocorrect and typing while DH is driving on the m/way!

Not very Christmassy but Jet 2 have a cracking sale on holidays 25/26.

NOVEMBER gives free delivery at Sheepland

@hugsandpugs Oh that's an extraordinarily kind offer, thank you. I feel a bit guilty taking it as the benefit mascara is a perfectly good gift, but it's that funny thing of feeling like well if £20 is budget I should really spend it all Which kind of defeats the whole purpose of a bargain thread! So yes would be delighted to have it (and pay postage) but am also sure there are worthier recipients!

Lidl have cheap Christina lights, tinsel and other decorations in. I got a string of 100 fairy lights for £3.59 which will be ideal for my homemade door garland idea 😁

Loving this thread.

Mum wants a Henry vacuum. Has anyone seen a good offer or discount at an electrical store?

I honestly would rather someone make use of them as I didn’t actually think they would send so many 😂🙈 if you PM we can sort out getting them sent to you, how many do you need? 🎄

In my local Asda they had them on offer for £120 today

My elf order has arrived and is wrong. I’ve got a primer instead of a mascara 🤷🏻‍♀️ emailed them to see if they do anything about it.

This is my favourite, the paw shape counts down the remaining power.

They used to come in a gift box with a charging cable and little torch thing, doesn't show that now though.

Price is £16.50 but I have a box to tick for another 20% off

I see it made my link a Mumsnet referral 🙄

Hollister has £10 off a £40 spend if you sign up for their rewards I used a new email address.

Teens and young adults on my list requested PJ's from there.

Offer stacks too if you have any other codes :)

Asda have one on offer on the rewards app this weekend.
