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

Reastie · 22/11/2024 07:25

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

Sorry, I didn't mean to quote all of Reastie's OP and can't delete it!

If anyone has an Argos code that they won’t use I’d be very grateful, have £65 worth of items sitting in my basket so any money off would be great! Already taken advantage of the sign up email money off a while ago, so can’t do that! Thanks!!

@CandyRaining
I ordered from Ulster Weavers on Saturday and had an email to say it was dispatched on Wednesday. Just tracked it and evri are still waiting for it though, so no idea what's going on!

juicyjellybaby · 22/11/2024 12:46

has anyone got an adidas code they won’t be using that they wouldn’t mind sharing? I would normally ask my son for his student discount but it’s to buy him some new trainers and I don’t want him to know I’ve bought them

TOT-7H4W-W7ER-CC45-VFTE

Should give 15% hopefully.

CandyRaining · 22/11/2024 13:13

Thanks @10pfreddos (love the name), @Notlongnow1 and @Tomorrowisyesterday for the ulster weaver info. Hoping they arrive soon 🤞🏻

MerryChristmas2021 · 22/11/2024 13:18

Just a note to say papier has 25% off today with the code secretsale and it stacked with a referral code for me! You can get a referral from the referral board!

hby9628 · 22/11/2024 13:22

Some great funky pop bargains on their website. I've got a couple for £3.60 each. Annoyingly delivery is £4 though

hby9628 · 22/11/2024 13:22

Funkopop!

Afternoon all, can anyone help with Harry Potter lego? My nephew has asked for Goblet of Fire sets, the ones I can find are pricey... Are they likely to go down on actual BF next week?! Or am I best sucking up the amazon price now? Which is anything between £30 -£40 😫

Lots boxed on Vinted, but depends on the set, have you seen any in particular? This is a good price, probably best youll get.

Again depends on the set

nearlylovemyusername · 22/11/2024 13:36

Hi, any recommendations for a nice (not M&S, no alcohol) hamper for about £30?

Treetopps · 22/11/2024 13:39

Hi all, I requested the below on the old thread before I noticed the new one had started!
I’ve seen people mention personalised books before but can’t find the posts now! Can anyone recommend a Christmas personalised book for a 6 year old (very good reader) please?
Evtheria mentioned Wunderbly,( thank you!) is there a particular book anyone would recommend?

Clucket87 · 22/11/2024 13:53

@FilthyforFirth it is 75965 and the eBay seller is called ballylucas and has a 99.5% eBay score.

STom2 · 22/11/2024 13:55

Could someone please remind me of the Celtic & Co code 🙈 If it's still running!
