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

@Iluvchristmasbargains I’ve had my Roka bag 2 years and love it. Loads of space, great quality.

Thank you, I think I just got a 240ml bum bum cream for £30

Another one here totally underwhelmed with Black Friday offers, but overwhelmed with the email bombardment (for offers that are no better than the last month).

Just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to the heroes on this thread!! Thanks to you I’ve bought Arran Aromatics, Superdrug 3for2 travel size stuff for travelling DS, Aesop on Look Fantastic and a throwback Sticker Dolly Dressing for DD18 who still loves them!!!!

Oh and seconding Roka. I have a roll top which is amazing. Stylish, robust, practical.

It’s brilliant
Just remember you need to use phones or iPads and download the app
We found it better with one each or an iPad per team
My teens have started to play it loads by themselves on their phones - can use a virtual board and dice roll
You can play a full game or limit it to 30 minutes/1 hour
Great family game as you can change the difficulty of questions for each age

@LittleMousewithcloggson brilliant thank you!! 🙏

This is fantastic, thanks so much for sharing.

I need help gang! My sister has said my 5 y/o niece would love anything 'girly' but not make-up as she has some already... I have boys and am drawing a blank, help! Budget £30ish

I'm wanting to buy some Beats headphones - the wireless over head ones. The cheapest I can find is £99. Has anyone seen them cheaper anywhere?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a digital photo frame? I know there’s a few different ones about but would love to have a personal recommendation. It’s for a Christmas gift for my grandparents who are in their 80s, so would like one that had an app that I can upload photos to it. Can’t really stretch to Aura prices though, probably £60 tops. Thanks!

Sorry I've been out all day so just seen your question. I ordered the Knuckles and the Master Emerald Shrine set (76998) and also a Lego Ferrari (76914) and both of the discounts were automatically applied at the checkout.

At 5 my girly dd loved sparkly headbands, hairbands from claires/accessorise/h&m. And jojo bows but i dont think they are in anymore! She pretty much lived in cat ears and a sparkly tutu!

I know you said no makeup but dd loved body glitter and a glittery hair mascara. We tried hair chalk but didn't work on dds dark hair!

She also enjoyed twirling ribbons. Swishy dressing up princess costumes, a fairy wand that made a noise and those awful click clack dress up shoes 🤣

A handbag to carry around her treasures was her favourite! And an old purse which she used for play and to keep old gift cards/loyalty cards!!

Thanks @dramalamma - I’ll check them out.

For those looking for loungewear, Hollister have 30% off everything for Black Friday including their Gilly Hicks loungewear range which is lovely and you can get £10 off £40 for signing up to their rewards programme (free) which stacks with the 30% off

Byoma have 25% off and a free gift bag if you order from them which means they’re cheaper than some of the sets :)

I’ve just downloaded the look fantastic app - the extra 10% not coming up for me - any thoughts

Fabletics have 40% off everything and free shipping if you spend 50 pounds They have some lovely leggings and lounge sets too! I also used this code and it worked earlier today for extra 20% percent off certain items too: NL20EXTRA.

Hi everyone. I'm trying to order on go outdoors. I've got a membership but have lost the card and they'll send a replacement in a few days.... They also said they couldn't give it to me over the phone. Does anyone have a membership number I could use (if it would even work that is!)

Any craft deals for kids?

If anyone has seen anything discounted for Sylvanian Families i would be very grateful :)

@Serenitesanta what are you trying to buy? Is it maybe something that’s not included?
