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

My home bargains had quite a range and most was 99p for 4m. There were some for £1.49 (I think) which were shiny

I've seen it before but can you explain what it is please

Sostrene Grene has lovely paper if there is one near you

Not a bargain gift but just thought I'd share this, it's fab! I paid £8 about a month ago so not sure if it'll go down again before Christmas but if it does, I highly recommend it! Cuts the paper in seconds and makes wrapping enjoyable! Especially when used with the much loved tape dispenser I bought after someone posted it on here ☺️
Link isn't working so I'll share a pic with the details if anyone is interested in it ☺️

I'm sure someone was asking about mistletoe...?
I've just spotted some on argos:

Aaand it didn't include the link. Sigh.

Here: mistletoe www.argos.co.uk/product/6791021?clickPR=plp:243:966

@hugsandpugs I'm sure you've checked online rather than wait for my reply but yes online on their home page there's a big banner. I generally use the new in menu and sort it by newest

My 2nd ELF beauty order has been delivered to someone else (photo not my door!) Sigh..

Sorry if already posted - Tesco had some real trees planted in a basket with lights and baubles - usual price is £30, clubcard price is £15

Mine arrived today and it’s fab!

i picked up a zuru hamster mania in b&m for £5.99 today. Cheapest I’ve found anywhere else is £9. Hoping it will do for dds request for a pet mouse

Card factory has good cheap paper this year - and unlike wh Smiths, the tear tabs actually work! I have bluey and the snowman/snowdog for the kids :)

You guys are wise, are these ugg style boots likely to be fakes (as in not sheepskin). I mean I know they were probably never 200 but I just want to have warm feet.

I have an O2 code I won't use.

This is for the bauble sorry!

@hugsandpugs
Great! Can't believe it's DPD delivering for £1
I have a Westie who will be delighted

I know I was shocked about that too! Next day delivery.

Aww lovely, I love westies we had one that we sadly lost earlier in the year 🐶

If anyone needs a Vodafone code for the dog advent calendar, let me know. It's got a 1 hour limit on it so don't want to post and someone to miss out

Yes please

Goodwin Smith have a couple of styles of slingback sheepskin slippers for £5. Not many sizes left but I got lucky as I’m a 6.
Delivery is £4.99, but a box popped up for a mystery offer of free shipping if I entered my email and phone number and a code came through via WhatsApp.

I have a pair of their regular sheepskin mules which are good quality and have lasted for well over a year. NOV10 gives 10% off everything but won’t stack with free delivery. Sheepskin slippers

I've asked DH for you and he recommends checking for the cheapest in the 3xs range on scan.com who have black Friday deals on ATM. We've bought custom PC's and individual parts from them before and found them to be great. He reckons that range will future proof it a bit but that you'll only need the cheapest for now. As long as you get a desktop and not a laptop then it can always be upgraded in the future.

I did 😂🙈 was hoping they had a Ralph Lauren white beanie that DS has asked for. Can’t seem to find it anywhere at a cheap price!

❤️

I've just bought another three pairs as she kindly alerted me to new stock she's uploaded including some orange ones I was after. She's so lovely I'm going to send her a Christmas card!

@hugsandpugs there are a couple listed on ebay and vinted brand new with tags for much less than the RRP!

Thank you so much, I just used this code to order.
