Thread 14 - the one with BLACK FRIDAY!

[Reastie]

I think I always (or nearly always!) call the one with Black Friday this name. I'm assuming this thread will see us through the weekend and I'm not premature!!! Make sure you keep your Black Friday bargains genuine bargains - not everything that looks reduced actually is as good a deal as it looks.

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

Don’t know what’s going on with links, I normally use the hyperlink icon writing from safari but seems to have stopped working over the last few days - soz

Same, I have to now go in and edit my posts to get the links working

Hoping this link works, Mirabel found for encanto fans Encanto doll

Did you get one @GoodIsGoodEnough?

Fahlo bracelets are down to £10 each I found a 20% off code and it worked as well so £8. https://myfahlo.com/en-gb/pages/bracelets-overview?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWtTwXnubnPoLGmw1cYDM3Dh48ko3xYXabyOVC8tuCgpPbeAtHg8R4waAp9pEALw_wcB&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=21913486014&tw_source=google

I have lots of brand new Pandora boxes and gift bags - when I bought charms in the same last January they sent me a box & gift bag for each item. Happy to post you one if you like?

Thanks are these suitable for a 10 year old girl?

Boden has some items at 40% off this morning (though I am waiting for the proper reductions in their final sale !)

Musclefood have their Black Friday deals live, including buy 1 Christmas hamper, get 3 free

Master of Malt have £15 off Talisker whisky

International Elf Service have 15% off their advent calendar elf latters with code NOTTOOLATE - my DC are a bit old for these now though <sobs quietly>

I've had quite a few T shirts from them and they have all been very good quality.

What is the 20% off code please?

That's super kind @parentswriting
Have you bought from Amazon before? I'm a bit nervous it's not the deal deal.

Just wanted to warn others about the Degustabox calendar. I get it every year, and it's brilliant.

This year, mine arrived with a door clearly smashed and something had leaked in it (won't say what so as to keep the surprise for others). The whole calendar was ruined as the liquid had gone through the entire calendar.

I tried to call them but the Customer Service phone number is disconnected. I emailed and waited 10 days but no reply. I have tried Facebook Messenger too - no reply at all. Eventually customer service replied to my email saying they couldn't open my photos, so I resent them as a different format... and still I have had no reply to this for another 10 days.

I have just today had to raise a dispute with my credit card company, and would warn everyone that it's great when it's great, but there is zero customer service and I would avoid them like the plague if you're sending them as presents to other people.

No sorry I've never bought Pandora from Amazon - it's my birthday in January so I normally buy direct in the January sales.
DM me your address and I'll post you a gift bag and box if you do proceed

Does anyone know if White Stuff do further reductions they have 25% off at moment but hoping for a bit more...they are pricey now with their stuff....I tend to wait for sales...thanks

Have a look at this page for Fahlo codes. There's a 20% off that works, plus a Buy2, get 1 free. They don't stack though unfortunately.

Thank you @Willowback for the info! Just sorted a few gifts for very hard to buy for relatives!

Yes - I’d say they’re as good as any other t shirts I’ve bought and better than eg Primark. Prints stand up to regular washing etc.

Yoshi sale is good for purses and bags. and free delivery.

Hello,

I know the spicery sets have been mentioned on these threads before. I wanted to get something from there as a secret santa gift. Does anyone have any voucher codes for them or know if they do anything for black friday (nothing on their website atm). Also, any recommendations for sets to get? Secret santa budget is approx £15.

Thank you

I bought one for my daughter last year and it fit her fine and she liked it

Am wary of tiktok @nottinghall as my partner got scammed last week they tried to set up Apple Pay with his bank details...he got a text saying he had set up Apple Pay which he had not...had to speak to fraud line at his bank and cancel his credit card.
