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

@MadeForThis the works have their own version of operation if you're not set on having the official version

the works also have 3 for £12 instead of 3 for £15 currently

AMAZON:

Various BandAI Tamagotchis down to £11.99-£13.00 (usually £20)
If your child is not bothered about it being a genuine Tamagotchi, you can get off brand ones from Home Bargains, Tesco Xmas stocking stuffers aisle, or B&M. I think I paid about £4 for one for my child from HB, and it was exactly like the one I had in the 90s, worked great.

Taco Cat Goat Pizza game is £7.20

@SootspriteSearcher It’s back until tomorrow. Code BLACKFRIDAY50.

It says “just got subscribers” but I am sure there is no check, and if there is just subscribe to their emails.

(great username BTW!)

That’s what I was thinking. Thank you

@I8toys thanks for the heads up on Loops. I’ve been dithering for a while and have an event coming up so ordered some.

Amusingly it also recommended most of your list as “often purchased with” 😄

Has anyone seen this mama and papas hat anywhere. Sold out online. For a friend who is expecting her 1st baby on boxing day. Got outfit but cant find matching hat

I wear lined in the autumn/winter and not lined in the spring and summer so he would probably get west out of either.

Superdrug have extra 20% off fragrance gift sets for card holders, online only. Includes the Ariana Grande sets and crackers plus Ghost baubles

Fitflop have up to 40% off on their website

Thank you, I have ordered one!

I had 2 other games sitting in my Amazon basket hoping for a reduction and they were both discounted, so I'm very pleased. Just need a couple of escape room games now.

These are the games I ordered (can't vouch for them as haven't played them):

The Worst Case Scenario Card Game - £11.99
Bad People - £12.50

666 - the number of the Beast Shears😈

I can vouch for ToyStreet - got a bargain Hot Wheels truck from there a few months ago without any issues, and £10 cheaper than I've seen anywhere else sincd!

Hot Wheels Monster Truck Mega Wrex half price on Amazon £29.99

I sourced some cheaper Schleich last year from Toy Street. I had great service.

@HoneyPea RNLI have head torch beanies? Got one for my dad last year

Hi,

The Oodie have the adult Barbie, pink Mickey Mouse and the Inside Out reversible Oodies for £33 today only on the app. Current sale price is £37.50 so this is a bit of a saving if you were going to buy anyway.

I remember those days. It's really unfair and they should somehow have a code where parents can figure out what's in it. Obviously they don't as they make lots of money this way.

A couple of times I bought dd2 2 or 3 LOL dolls for Christmas or Birthdays and I'd hope they weren't the same 😬😬

There were lots of LOL swap groups on Facebook. We weren't that obsessed to be honest she had about 20 but is there anything similar?

Was IRL shopping today and Claire's have 40% off all plushies including Hello Kitty and Palm Pals for those who collect them!

Sorry tried to bold the info but didn't work on the app!!
