Thread 13 - the one where I'm dashing for the school run!

Apologies for the rubbish title - I'm trying to get the kids ready and don't want my daughter to miss the bus!

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

If you have any voucher codes to share (or want to check for any) then have a look https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5212144-sharing-voucher-codes

The current referral thread for sharing referral codes here . 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

Just been on the referral thread waffling on about the great deals at Quidco today!

They have £20 cashback when you spend £100 at Argos, Currys, John Lewis & Partners, Very and more! £30 when you spend £150 at Fraser Hart jewellers.

Plus £5 back when spending £15 at Domino’s!

Hi everyone, I’m searching for Xmas sacks with letters E and B. Last year I bought red velvet sacks with initials on from home bargains thanks to recommendations on here. They seemed to be a recurrent product, so I bought for 2 of my children hoping to pick up the other 2 initials this year but they havnt had any in my local store. Has anyone seen any this year?

Flarebacks · 22/11/2024 08:07

Would anyone recommend the Spice Kitchen spice tins? I've been waiting to get the Middle Eastern one for my brother to gift with a Persian cookbook, but they're £30 and don't seem to get reduced. Are they worth the price? I know Spicery gets mentioned here all the time, but they don't have a similar gift from the Persia region. Thanks all

Thanks @Streetcornerchoir I was about to spend at JL (despite them not sending me any of last months freeby vouchers) so that helps.

I did have a giggle at the £60 cashback on Lindt chocolates … if you spend £500 😅

No way! I didn’t see that one, challenge accepted 🤣

Glad the JL helped!

B&M had initial stockings and sacks. Think it’s the same style - if not it’s very similar

Anyone seen nice Wicked pjs for a 7 year old that don't cost the earth? She's going into hospital so nice pjs may soften the blow but they're £28 in M&S which I wouldn't pay for pjs for myself!
