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

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

They have some in a sale for Black Friday and I used a £5 off referral code off the referrals thread. I’ve put mine on there under my old username I love pugs 2017 if you wanted to use it ☺️

Fab! Got mine for £5.50 free postage !

@hugsandpugs I couldn't get the referral code to work on BF reduced items which is a shame 😢

@hugsandpugs wait I did eventually! Hurrah!

Mountain warehouse free delivery this weekend and extra 20% off, even sale items with code MWAW22.
Just got some lovely gloves and socks for stocking fillers.

thank you to whoever posted about Magic Mixies being £15, i picked one up today - shelf edge label said £20 but scanned at £15 (Sainsbury's).

ps the Sainsbury's lebkuchen are no way near as nice as Lidl!

@hugsandpugs - I've found your referral. But your candle looks like a large one? The candles in the sale look tiny. How did you get it for £3.50?

Any suggestions for an illustrated original grimms fairy tales - not the sanitised version?!

Where are the sale items @onedayatatime73 I can't see a black Friday sale

It looks tiny in the photos but when it come it’s much bigger than I expected. I honestly thought it would be like one of the small votive ones 😊

I’m out at the moment but can put it next to something later like a mug so you can see the size if that helps?

Thank you so much for this! The perfect early present for my grandmother

Do you know that's exactly what I've done. Ordered off Amazon to be delivered to my Nan's address, with the instruction not to be opened until Dec 1st

Thank you to the poster for the Harper Collins code (BLACKFRIDAY50) - more books for me!

There's 4 for 3 on L'Occitane beauty baubles. It says the discount is automatically applied at checkout.

Does anyone use Valentte (or other brand) wax melts in a Scentsy warmer? I've been stung in the past with melts that don't fully melt and end up welded to the glass dish but really resent paying the £7 postage for waxes direct from Scentsy. Thank you! :)

Who was it that wanted teen boy toiletries for around £10? Just saw this Boots Ted Baker set half price down to £7 for a washbag, shower gel and body spray
