The one where there’s 20 days til Christmas

Posting on behalf of @reastie hope you don’t mind 🎄 🎅

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

My really difficult to buy for 16 year old has recently started drinking coffee and enjoys hot chocolates too. I know I'm too late to find bargains now but has anyone seen any cheaper coffee machines that uses pods?
many thanks

Pooch and mutt code gives 40% off selected items.
delivery extra but better than the 25% off code upthread!

Thanks @hugsandpugs - I have been dithering over a few L’Occitane purchases - will leave in my basket and have a think!

No worries. I’ve just ordered a wooden comb for DD along with the free gift wrap and samples for £2.40 posted! Been looking out for a new comb for her!

Depends on their interests but some ideas

Paw patrol guys (though they may like certain ones)

Car launcher thing

a Maui fishhook but this is from China I can’t see a uk one after a brief search

Also think these are the Spidey years, so dress up or a Talking spidey (£16 sorry but probably on vinted etc)

For anybody looking I just saw these cute Plantable pencils on hot uk deals there for £6

Aw they are cute!

Snap! I also have 2 dresses , jeans & a coat coming tomorrow 🙈. But Christmas from DH - he's chuffed it takes the pressure off him 😄

Sounds very festive. There's the actual Polar Express train here this year, but it's ridiculous, like £250+ for 2 adults, 2 kids.

@Member212711 @IlovePond Just to mention, they also do WOW dupes in Home Bargains (it’s called Glossie) - I saw shampoo, conditioner and a hair mists. I’ve been using the hair mist for a few weeks and my hair has a lot less frizz and is really shiny, it feels lovely (I have thick hair)

No, it's the Bold ones with stacked soles. Those are a lovely colour, though.

I am being a bit slow 😞...
I can't see/don't understand the l'occitain offer/deal .

I think it's:

1. Free delivery automatically applied, no min order
2. There's a code that takes 20% off full price items
3. You can tick a box to get a free mini-sample set and some gift wrap
4. You also get an option which pops up to buy either a tote bag or some hand creams for £8 instead of £12 with the code LOVE

It's definitely Gazelles. These:

I can't find them on simply be

The Ts and C's for that SimplyBe code say not to be used on Adidas products so could well be s glitch.

Ahhh. .it is the 20% code I can't see/find .

I have got a hand scrub in there at the moment.

And the 3 X hand creams at £8 instead of 12.

Coming up as 17 . 50 .
But that's not £2.50 😂!

Thanks @Thelifeofawife - you’ve reminded me that I forgot to see if they still had the SDJ body cream dupe yesterday!

@bizzey it’s this code: YQMM4M93 I pretended to check out and it worked for me.

For anyone that likes bubble bath the Baylis & Harding Moonlight Fig Sparkly Sequin Bath Bubbles is on amazon for £3.69 (£3.51 subscribe and save) instead of £10. Have treated myself 😊

amzn.eu/d/4dpB0YU

Also worth signing up with them as each order earns points which can knock money off your next order.

I also couldn't find gazelles in simply be when I looked earlier. There are the vl court bold but if you have a teen/recipient who has asked for gazelles they might be disappointed.

The code seems to have ended now anyway must have been midnight

Dolce gusto piccolo xs is on offer for around £30 at a couple of retailers. I have the same one and it works well (it is noisy though).

Ah that's a shame that the codes didn't work/ now unavailable.

I certainly hope they honour my & other PPs' orders. I'm worried now. They're due tomorrow. I'll be extremely peed off if they don't come. Before the extra discount they were down to £55 anyway, which is still.a bargain, so I'd be fine with that.

Can anyone enlighten me on the £1 jeans? Tried to find on the thread but can’t ses anything and looked on Next and can’t see anything either - thank you 🙏

Could be that it’s not discounting the money off the hand creams as they are already discounted. Think the code only works on full price items
