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

We use MONIN syrups. There are loads of different sets if you do a quick google, lots of options from boots, costa, amazon.

@katmarie if they don’t have to be new I just got both DSs some hestra ones from Vinted. They’re about £80 new and I paid £20

@Delahot - I like the Monin syrups for Costa. Boots have a pack of three minis, reduced atm:

They sometimes sell them in Lakeland too.

This was for @mumtotwo11 😀

@Jedstre

Would a sloth one work:

Sloth Apron - at sale price!

They also have a cat one, a dog one and one with baking accessories, although dearer.

My bother in law would like an apron

I know it was a typo, but this did make me smile 😀. I’m sure many would prefer this name for their relative!

NEOM stuff up to 40% off on BrandAlley today

@Jedstre

B&Q also have these

Forgive me if this has been said but Dunelm have 20% off Spode

Mountain warehouse are offering free delivery until the end of today.

Also they have lots in their Black Friday sale and an extra 20% off with the code FROST!

Just managed to get DS a fleece for £3.99 posted. Debating getting some hiking boots me for me and DH.

5.5% cashback via top cashback too

For those of you purchasing the Emmeline Pankhurst mice I also recommend decorations from Bookishly - another small indie company with great ethics. It may be worth waiting till Friday as they often do Black Friday offers. My sister loved her decoration last year.
Wooden Christmas Decorations - Smash the Patriarchy – Bookishly

Have I missed this??

It looks like it, but they’ve done the same offer before so keep checking

If anyone can make use of a £2 gift card to Sainsbury's (from my Vodafone rewards) let me know. I don't tend to shop there. It has 10 days to be used.

Morning all, could anyone please recommend a dishwasher proof, non leaking/spillable, insulated coffee cup? I’ve looked at Chilly’s but the reviews say they aren’t spill proof and some of the thermos type ones aren’t dishwasher safe.

£10 off a £70 spend at Decathlon DECAT10

Do you want it to have a handle?

If you're not fussed, Contigo are great for the travel coffee cup type with no handle. Keep the drink hot/cold and don't leak.

@Summertime1992 yes please if still available!

@Allthingspeaches No handle required, I shall look them up. Thank you.

Love those decorations ... can I ask - is it a set of three? It don't give an option to choose one and says "decorations " plural so I'm assuming so?

Sorry it's gone now.
