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

I'm looking for some advice on a Christmas gift to myself, to make Christmas related items 😆

I'd like to buy a cricut joy. Hobbycraft have a deal which includes a free gift - but I don't want the gift.

Has anyone seen discount codes or anywhere else that sells them?

How old is she? DH says he did a welding course at adult education centre at 14 without parent having to be present. Not sure if you have anything like this near you. It's a great skill to learn.

Thank goodness I held off on buying the Guess bag I needed for Dd!

30% off one item and 40% off two or more for VIP week if anyone else needs anything.

Oh, thanks @HoffiCoffii The one I found near us said 18+ or 14+ with an adult. She’s 17. But, I’ll keep looking.

@FriendlyLaundryMonster we've got a kit like this one and it's loads of fun.

Looking for recommendations for the following please if anybody has any ideas.

Hairdryer...wondering about the Remington shine one as I know the same brand straighteners get good reviews

Also a nice loungewear type outfit. Mum wants something cosy for days she's just at home.

Another O2 decoration code, I think it's valid until midnight:

VM2TC0G7Q1Z2H6N3

Power bank

cheap power bank good for stocking filler for teens. £16.99 down to £5.84 when you apply 50% voucher and extra 15% voucher on the page

Wow, that’s a great price! Exactly what I needed too.

It is! It’s the cheapest I’ve seen them so far - just ordered one for teen DS

@RJnomore1 Thanks, I did realise that it's just over £5 a bottle when I looked into it. Think it's a really great deal

Ooh thanks for the power bank link. Grabbed one for my youngest who’s started to venture out a bit further!

I think it is a good deal. Im sorely tempted but I've just bought 24 bottles between laithwsutes, my virgin wine subscription and another deal... oh 25 I have free Prosecco from discount dragon on the way...

Thanks so much @RoastPotatoConnoisseur one bought for me and one for a friend. We recently went to the tour so that will be a lovely souvenir gift for her.

@FriendlyLaundryMonster on the off-chance you're in east sussex some good courses available here

Thank you for this @LittleMousewithcloggson just got a bag I had my eye on for pretty much half price. something else for me though, it’s not for a present 😀

Last minute bauble code:

VM2WZ6WM3CS2GN2T

Thank you so much ☺️ my daughter will be so happy

@FriendlyLaundryMonster we bought my DS this book Victorinox Swiss Army Knife... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/156523877X?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share book and a basic victorinox penknife, which went down a treat!

Not sure if anyone else has got back to you yet sorry but I've had this offer too and was going to sign up, till I realised it meant just over a fiver per bottle. Very misleading.

nit quite such a bargain as the misprice, but Elemis Superfood £24 on Amazon with voucher and Subscrbe and Save

@Reastie Or other thread Bosses- could we Please maybe consider a Voucher Code thread separate to these bargain threads? Around half the posts here so far are requests or codes for the O2 rewards?

@Ardagusdubh
For your upcycling/ sewing niece - do you have any vintage/ old things that you can give her to upcycle?

Gift card for a local sewing shop?

I have all manner of sewing kit but love being given my MIL's old 80's outfits to wear or upcycle

@Fuckingfuckssake yes my eyes popped out when I saw just over a fiver, popped right back in when the penny dropped lol. Think we've decided against as we don't drink a lot really. We'll get our wine from Asda..25% off 6 bottles 🍾.. that will be more than enough.

I believe someone made one a couple of threads back here Codes thread @Reastie might be worth adding to the first post on the new threads?
