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

If anyone needs a Yoto referral code, let me know. I'm not 100%, but it appears to stack with their Black Friday sale 😊

Stelmosfire1 · 25/11/2024 10:01

I'm looking for bed socks/sleep socks for a size 5 male please? Something a bit more substantial than the primark fluffy type. Has anyone any suggestions please?
Thank you!

Have a look at Celtic & Co. They have a code which will give you £25 off full price items, NXMAS24. I got some lovely lambs wool gloves under £10 delivered.

Wholetthedogsoutwhowhowho · 25/11/2024 10:33

Thank you for the Yoto posts.

I've just rejoined as the membership for £12.99 gives 2 cards, 20% off and free delivery.
I already had some points to redeem which was a nice surprise so have picked up the BBC pack of 3 cards I wanted, the Minecraft card I also wanted and a Miraculous card which my son will love! Should have come to £48 but got it down to £20 (that includes price of the membership as once purchased it works immediately). I remember membership being easy to cancel as well. So again, thank you for this! I am delighted!

Bridal Beauty Co are doing their £60 charity boxes with a free Charlotte Tilberry gift. Always very popular.

Depends what sort of bedding you're after, but I highly rate the fine bedding company. I've recently had coverless duvets, pillows and other lovely stuff from there. Black Friday offers of up to 40% off are now live.

I've never seen Lush do Black Friday - but they did have an extra sale in the summer this year...
I also found £3 off when I updated their app - which isn't much but is better than nothing

Arewesureitisntbedtime · 25/11/2024 10:59

If anyone is looking for Ninjago Lego, John Lewis have the Team Combo Vehicle for £50.99 - it is still £62.99 in Smyths and £80 in Argos! I managed to use the £5 off an app order reward to bring it down to £45.99 with free click and collect.

they usually gear towards a January sale opposed to BF

I wanted to share real life photos of a few of the Laithwaites hampers/gifts for those unsure as I am always dubious about how they actually arrive compared to the online photos. I have to say I am impressed!!

The Seasons Greetings basket (black hamper) is £50, the Prosecco in a Merry Christmas box is currently £20 reduced from £24.99 (they also have white wine and red wine versions) and The Night Before Christmas hamper (black and purple) is only £29.99! I plan to spruce it up with some cellophane and a bow.

Don't forget to use the £40 off £80 for first orders if you haven’t already signed up, here is my referral code if needed - https://laithwaites.mention-me.com/m/ol/nk6gx-bb09a2ada9

@HeToldMeMyFishWouldDie
Just PMd you 15% off Student Beans code although unsure what exclusions there may be.

I have a perfume shop account and when I google referral it says they do a scheme but the links to it being up a blank screen so not sure what's going on there

Anyway hope that's helpful x

Can you link to the socks please?! Thank you!

Justkeepsmilingx · 25/11/2024 11:39

I am after fluffy cosy socks - the fluffy type in a ladies size 8-9 for my niece. I have got everyone else Primark ones but I know I’ll need to spend more but it’s just something I wanted to get them all. Has anyone seen any in shops or online ?

I have looked at men’s but the only ones I can see are black and if I can I’d rather get a different colour.
