One more sleep until December!! Get your Christmas duvets, stollen and mulled wine and the ready as the festive season is well and truly here!

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

Camelcamelcamel is a great amazon price tracking tool http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com

The following links compare price products including postage
www.find-book.co.uk
www.find-cd.co.uk
www.find-dvd.co.uk
www.find-game.co.uk (as in PS4/xbox etc)

O
If anyone comes across a bargainous champagne gift that I can send straight to a recipient, would you let me know! It is for a very lovely but wealthy friend; Prosecco won't cut it! WineGin

Does anyone want a code for the works for 15% off?

No minimum spend

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 04/12/2024 11:56

I really want the sock shop advent but cannot bring myself to pay postage (even with 10% off) and the free gift doesn't float my boat bought to spend over £10 for and get postage.

Confused

Third world predicament, I know!

Oooh just saw pugs your post on lounge pants ...

Talisin · 04/12/2024 12:01

@nothingcomestonothing I’ve ordered twice from them in the last few weeks - first order I made on 20/11 and received on 22/11. The second I made on 24/11 and received in the same time frame so your experience doesn’t sound right at all I’m afraid.

IsThisIt2021 · 04/12/2024 12:17

@hugsandpugs

I wish I’d seen your post before now, I’ve literally just placed an order at the works.

If anyone knows how to get a code from wynsors I’d be extremely grateful, can’t bring myself to place the order yet!

I’m obsessed with them to the point of wanting to have one in every colour and deserting all my other pjs 😂

Oh no! That’s gutting!

My daughter asking for a fit bit, needs to be suitable for an 8 year old and ideally blue
doesn't necessarily need to be a bargain

Any recommendations? Thanks

I got 2 lovely Isle of Skye candles last month but I need another candle now. They don't seem to be doing any offers currently, does anywhere else have a bargainous candle offer currently?

I've got a code for 20% off the Skye candles if that would help?

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 04/12/2024 12:46

@hugsandpugs can I ask, how do they size? I'd normally go 12 especially with thin fabric but I see that while returns are free, if you had free delivery and returns take you below its threshold it actually costs £3.99

So wondering if it's worth the risk ...

Turtleoo · 04/12/2024 12:46

@ruralwanderer thanks, I already tried signing up but the code is only valid on full price items at Smiggle unfortunately

So I’m usually I’m between a 10-12 depending on brand but I went for a 12 in the lounge pants and they fit perfectly. Lovely soft waistband too

Edit - forgot to say while the fabric is thin they keep me surprisingly warm! I think I read something about them being thermo something fabric so keep you warm/cool depending on temperature

Eek ok thanks for that I'll chase it. Really hope my present for sil who's had a terrible year has not gone AWOL!

Also H&M has an offer where you get extra £5 gift card for each £30 gift card you buy

I have to do secret Santa for someone who loves triathlons and IPA type beers.

Budget is £30. Any help greatly appreciated!

No probs, I hope you’ll love them as much as I do 😂

@MamaK19 I got something similar last year for DS from Glossybox in their Black Friday sale, it’s worth a look

BrieCamera · 04/12/2024 13:41

Buy a Gift has a £15 off £15 spend

JHW831710NG

I used it on a Gousto Box voucher - only seems to work on the £22.99 one though but five meals for four people for £7.99 is a bargain as I was going to sign up to Gousto again for Christmas week anyway!

IlovePond · 04/12/2024 13:47

I’ve still heard nothing from SpaceNK and Deans - if my biscuits ever arrive, should they be damaged, I will be complaining. I am annoyed enough by now as it is!

Still waiting for LF and Boots but have more faith they will - eventually - appear as I have had confirmation emails.
