Thread 12 - the one with an extendable honk

[Reastie]

Thanks @IlovePond for the title.

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

Stock informer is a handy site http://www.stockinformer.co.uk/default.aspx?fullsite=1

www.find-game.co.uk (as in PS4/xbox etc)

Anyone else having issues with the Boots website today? I can only see the first page of offers, it won’t load any more!

Me too @OnionBag . In desperation I tried the AI chat and it didn't know what it was lol

I got FC25 for the switch on amazon this morning for £29. Looks like it was a flash deal but its just gone that price at smyths too. I doubt it will be cheaper this side of xmas

Just been looking for new boxers for the teen and BoohooMan has a sale on, in the boxers section there are their own brand boxers which look nice reduced, and also xmas themed and gaming themed ones too. Fab prices as stocking fillers for any men or teen boys.

boxers sale

Dont forget to go through topcashback if you use it.

Have your in-laws got an RHS gardens memembership?

Are there ever any offers on Next? I feel like there's not. Would like a couple of duvet covers.

Rarely see offers. You might want to check cashback but aside from that its just their general sales

@OnionBag - Boots was waiting fine for me at 8.30am but when I tried to add something to my basket an hour later it was glitchy.

I remember the same thing happened last Tuesday and I think some people had their orders mixed up.

I took it as a sign to log out - I’ve already spent too much this morning 🙀

Thought so, thanks for confirming. Will wait and see if any cashback offers happen over Black Friday and then either give in or find slightly less nice ones else where!

My dcs use theirs on their walls (they are pale not white) they’ve hooked them up to Wii’s for gaming nights with their friends. They work a treat.

Oh wow! Thats good to know. I took a risk on them as they looked and read well. Normally I wouldn’t risk spending so much on an unknown but they looked perfect.

feel like he could have done with it today

This is a nice make up advent calendar!

Code HUKDMRBAC makes it £27

So sorry if it's been posted already but Nike have 25% off full price for black Friday. The code is SCORE24

Sorry I am asking so many questions - I have 2 women in their late 90s dependent on me and I seem to have no time to research anything properly!

I always get DD some Molton Brown shower gel and there are lots of offers - Brand Alley, QVC and also John Lewis have 20% off - has anyone worked out which is the best value?

If anyone is clued up on Cocktail shakers I'd also appreciate advice - they seem to range massively in price.

Also curling tongs/wand - I do not style my hair at all so am mystified by the wildly different prices and advantages of different ones

Thanks for any help!

https://uk.theadventurechallenge.com/ 25% off here adventure books which makes them less than £20 delivered, quite a nice gift for joint family presents.

Thanks for this there’s also an extra 10% off code and free delivery using this VC10FREEDEL

PoundFun have free delivery for the next 12 hours, using code SHIP100. I've had a couple of deliveries from them, great for stocking fillers or advent calendar extras for kids

PoundFun

Thanks so much, I've been looking for Christmas boxers everywhere. Did get pj bottoms too and used the free delivery code.

Debenhams currently have 20% off Versace gift sets. Boots have the jean Paul gaultier gift sets on offer for Black Friday.

Can I recommend this lovely site: Store 1 — Spectrum of Misconception

It's a social enterprise - offering opportunities to people with autism, learning disabilities and complex needs. They help pack and post all the things sold - which include gorgeous craft kits and Xmas tree decs. I love Emmeline the Suffragette Mouse - Handcrafted Tribute to Women’s Rights — Spectrum of Misconception
for £8.50 and the Rainbow Bumblebee - LG-BEE-T Pride Felt Decoration — Spectrum of Misconception but there are loads of other things, some cheaper. They do a 10% if you sign up.

You don’t need to spend a ton on a cocktail shaker. Just beware of any that have a coating (like the copper type ones) as those have to be hand washed or the coating comes off.

This is a nice set from John Lewis and has the accessories to go with the shaker

Amazon has a crayola bundle on offer, for anyone with crafty kids

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B06XY4SZB7/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

Also if anyone is on Jam donut they are doing 6.5% cashback (I think) for boohooman. So I’ve just got that straight back on my order. My order was only £10.44 as I used an extra 10% off so only had 68p back but it all adds up!

Fahlo have 5 tracking bracelets for £50 with code BUYFIVE

Thanks. Used your code and ordered x
