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

Stock informer is a handy site http://www.stockinformer.co.uk/default.aspx?fullsite=1

www.find-game.co.uk (as in PS4/xbox etc)

So, I was convinced I didn't need it and threw away my catalogue for Cox and Cox with the discount code. I'd be grateful is someone could PM me a discount code!

I’ve pm’d you 😊

Exploding Kittens My Parents Might Be Martians Game is down to £3.45 - good stocking filler!

Argos site is showing this Harry Potter Make Your Own Light Up Burrow as £20 but also 3 for £20. The Make Your Own Hogwarts is also part of the same promotion. They look like great present and a bargain for 3 for £20!

Link here.

Mountain Warehouse have just sent me a very cryptic email which implies they have cancelled over half of my order (a “credit note” with no actual descriptions or item numbers, just amount, VAT etc on multiple line items).

They don’t actually say what is cancelled.

YeahWellWhyNot · 23/11/2024 18:51

@fishfingersandchipsagain check the tracking of your order on their website. Mine shows what's been shipped

White Fox Black Friday starts Monday at 7pm with 40 percent off

villamariavintrapp · 23/11/2024 19:14

Punirunes now down to £9.99 on Amazon, feel like an idiot because I bought one ages ago at £29.99 in the smyths deal, but now all the savings are wiped out 🥹

villamariavintrapp · 23/11/2024 19:15

Ps anyone have one? Why are they so cheap? Really rubbish?

MadameBethune · 23/11/2024 19:16

Does anybody have a Lakeland discount code please?
i signed up for MyLakeland then managed to throw away the pack

Daisychain789 · 23/11/2024 19:16

Does anyone know of a discount code for run4it.co.uk or have a student code please? My husband has just sprung on me that he’d love a garmin watch but it’s out of budget and he literally never asks for anything so I’d like to treat him

Joop 75ml £12.95 on Amazon - just got it for £11.01 on S&S

Can anyone recommend a silk pillowcase for reducing frizz?

Ladybaga · 23/11/2024 19:34

Not sure if its been mentioned but 25% off nike if you sign up to be a member which seems free and easy, min spend £50.

Ceejadess · 23/11/2024 19:54

Some lovely personalised stuff on My 1st Years reduced for Black Friday and seems they keep adding stock - this reindeer dressing gown would be perfect for a baby’s first Christmas here

Don't forget BLC discount of 20% works on sale items (despite saying it does not!) - makes the dressing gown £11.52 when personalised

There is a two pack of Exploding Minions for £14.99 here. Firm favourite in our house and usually that price each
https://amzn.eu/d/dVN78QD

Also did some real life shopping today and went into Pro Cook. They've got some good Black Friday offers and we're matching all website offers. Got two stainless steel frying pans for £39, usually £30 for one, plus they took off 10% for blue light discount.

I'm still struggling with the argos code as a PP mentioned, it keeps saying items aren't eligible. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

oriel2013 · 23/11/2024 20:02

One more request please. Looking for my brother. I tried to get him the cheese and wine tasting gift fron a year or two ago that went viral and never got delivered. Does anyone have a suggestion for something similar? Thanks!

Not sure as I was in between getting dc one of these or a Bitzee but not sure either look that good!

Dunk19 · 23/11/2024 20:06

Thanks @Bluenose1966 I have this controller on my list.

That was a good idea. Strangely everything is showing as shipped, despite the strange “credit note”. I’ll just have to see what arrives.

My local coffee roasters offer a Barista at home session if he likes coffee?

I have been looking at it too for my younger daughter.
Bitzee is actually pretty cool although I think they lose interest quickly once they have all the pets which doesn't take that long.

motheronthedancefloor · 23/11/2024 20:29

any good deals / prices on paco rabanne millionaire aftershave which I think is the one my DH likes.

Daisiesanddaffodils24 · 23/11/2024 20:33

fishfingersandchipsagain · 23/11/2024 14:27

My Ulster Weavers order arrived today and is excellent value for the price I paid.

Really pleased, as I gave several sets of them last year (eg with panettone and wine) and had requests for more.

That is a lovely idea for a gift!
