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)

Can anyone point me in the right direction, I need to buy two cinema tickets for this weekend , either Odeon or Cineworld . Now being a cheapskate , I would normally either use Meerkats two for one , but that’s not valid at the weekend , or my banking app which reduces them to half price , but for some reason that’s not working at the moment .

Does anyone know of any others discounts I can use at the weekend ? Thank you muchly .

If no better discounts pop up, Odeon and Cineworld gift cards are on TopCashback.

JamJarBinx · 04/12/2024 18:19

Sorry to ask another question but does anyone know if a discount code for JD that works with sale items? Ty

I don’t think so , but I will ask tomorrow, thank you

Was there mention of fancy/nice teas a few threads back? Can I have some recommendations please?

Bird and Blend do nice tea, also Teapigs.

@nothingcomestonothing sorry I'm a bit behind on the thread but saw you had also ordered from Night Store on 24 Nov and not received your order.

I also ordered on 24 Nov and not received anything. I've contacted them on their chat but just get fobbed off that they had a lot of orders.

Trustpilot reviews are awful, wish I had read them before ordering.

I'm giving them until Friday and then raising a dispute with my bank.

lakesiders · 04/12/2024 18:32

Jam doughnut have higher cash back for odeon gift cards @Theraffarian

Oh no now I'm really worried!

I couldn't get the chat to work so I emailed them and got this straight back:

"Upon checking, it seems your order is currently unfulfilled. Our standard delivery time within the UK is 3-7 working days from dispatch. However, since your order hasn't been dispatched yet, I will forward this to the relevant team to investigate further. They will do their best to provide more information regarding your order status."

The PJs I ordered are now OOS on the website in SILs size and everything is back to full price. Sil has had the absolute worst year anyone could have and I wanted to get her something nice she wouldn't get for herselfSad

I’ve just checked on my Vodafone rewards and it says all codes have gone. I don’t know if this is something that keeps renewing so I don’t mind checking again over the next couple of days

Do you know anyone with a blue light card there's cinema discounts on there. Or amazon prime 2 for £10 odeon tickets. You get the offer once a month. I dont use it as the odeon near me has closed so not sure if it's weekends!

Thank you I don’t think Prime ones work at the weekend, but I do know someone with a blue light card

My Deans shortbread BF hamper arrived today, all items in good condition and loads in there for the price! Thanks to whoever posted about this offer.

Puffalicious · 04/12/2024 18:48

Massive thanks to the PP who re-posted the sock shop codes as I'd missed them. Both stacked.

For anyone still wanting them:
LOUNGE20 for 2 lounge wear for £20 & a further 10% with Socknews10

I got 4 sets of lounge wear for DP & our 3 boys for the elves to bring on Xmas Eve. Ideal as not Christmas themed so can wear all year round. I ordered the burgundy so a little festive- green also available.

I'm really chuffed. The 4 sets & 6 pairs of socks for me (2 for1 deal too) came to £121.99, but with codes I paid £80.99 delivered with a free pair of socks thrown in. Don't you just love it when you see the total amount fly downwards?

Thanks MN, ❤️ these threads.

Does anyone have an Argos code pretty please?

Would £8 off £80 help?

Champagnecharleyismyname · 04/12/2024 19:01

@nothingcomestonothing it's annoying! The web site looks lovely but the trustpilot reviews are really poor.

My bank says 15 days before they will raise a dispute so I'll just have to wait.

Luckily they were for me so not waiting for a present like you are.

Shesellsseashellsontheseasure · 04/12/2024 19:04

@PlanBea oh yes please, can you DM me it?

3 Mobile does a weekend voucher so it costs £3 each. Ask anyone with 3 to screenshot their voucher for you.

@Puffalicious this accolade should go to @hugsandpugs who has been absolutely fabulous on this board.

Awesome @hugsandpugs, thank you ⭐
