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
Some of the below is copied and pasted from previous years, so do @ me if the links don't work

Thanks @TheChirpyWasp for replying to me. I’m sorry to hear about your bad experience with cs. It was ordered on my DH’s acct (for the 20% off first orders) so he will have to ring them today. I’m not hopeful for a good outcome tbh 😬

Midwintermayhem · 08/12/2024 08:44

Could anyone suggest a lovely leather dog collar for a medium sized pooch
I've had a Google but would prefer a personal recommendation. Thanks!

TheGriffle · 08/12/2024 08:47

Strange request but does anyone know where I can get replacement OralB toothbrush stickers for my kids toothbrushes? They’ve used the ones that came with the brush over the year and a Google is not bringing up anything that I can see as a replacement.

bizzey · 08/12/2024 09:09

Ohh wow ! ....my heated hand warmers arrived at 8.30 this morning 😲!

Thank you @beetr00 .....and a big thank you to Amazon staff who do an amazing job !!😂

Bed123 · 08/12/2024 09:15

Morning, does anybody have a Argos code for a £40 spend?
I have got a £6 off £60 if anyone would like it? thanks xx

Givealittlebit · 08/12/2024 06:35

Hmm ordered deans on 25th and seems others with same order dates arrived this week. Will keep an eye out for a few more days!

I ordered just the BF offer and mine came yesterday- check your junk email as my despatch notice was in there x

Just had a nosey at Goat Simulator as thought son might like it.......definately not suitable for a six year old!!! I thought it was going to be a goat on a farm and you look after it!

AsparagusGirl · 07/12/2024 13:52

Right DB and DSIL to buy for.
Friend at work got me onto Nio cocktails so ended up with a 9 box for black Friday and there's 45% off a 6 box on vodafone today so I bought those too.
I am thinking one or 2 nio cocktails, plus some chocolates and a cool pair of socks each. Keep having bare kind advertised to me: https://barekind.co.uk/products/new-save-the-badgers-bamboo-socks
They look cute but anyone have experience or better recs for nice socks (wondering about the sock shop calendar if it's still there but would like nice patterns rather than plain)
I think most other pressies are in hand strangely but sure I will remember some that aren't!

I really like Miss Sparrow socks and also those from White Stuff

My 4 year old thinks is so funny even though she doesn't play it right 😂

queenoftheglee · 08/12/2024 10:33

Oh wise Christmas ones, do any of you have any experience of resolving issues with Footasylum?
My order has arrived and is incorrectly labelled (the labels are correct for my order but the item that they are attached to is not.) So far live chat, Facebook and customer service email contacts are all completely disinterested and confirm:
1 - I should not have removed the item from the packaging. Er, how would I know that it was wrong then?
2 - They dispatched correctly.

Any ideas where to go with this now? The item is part of a tracksuit so without it the other part is also useless. It is the ONLY thing that my son has requested for Christmas! Do you think I would have any luck with a chargeback on my credit card? Any other ideas?

Carrie76 · 08/12/2024 10:36

@queenoftheglee how annoying for you. I would take to Twitter and say exactly what happened it usually prompts some sort of action

WhippetsRule · 08/12/2024 10:58

Another one annoyed with Boots. Don't run an offer if you can't meet at least some of the demand. I also had other bits to buy but went and got them elsewhere.

NotAgain77 · 08/12/2024 11:08

@Bed123 could I please have the £6 off £60 Argos code if still available?
Sorry I don't have a code to exchange.

icouldnteatanotherbite · 08/12/2024 11:23

I ordered some T-shirts from QWERTY about two weeks ago. I had a despatch notification straight away, but I've just logged into the tracking and it says it should arrive by 6 January. Argh! Has anyone had any luck with orders arriving earlier than promised?

Help locating this sold out item please -
Summer Fridays The mini neutrals lip butter balm £24 - it’s a set of 4
I can’t find it in stock anywhere 🤯

I'm on the lookout for this too. Unfortunately I went onto TikTok so think that's why it's not anywhere

Ebay have some at around £12.99 I think they are the same as the one you want.

Ooooh what was the boohooman code @Puffalicious?
I need a couple of tall jumpers for (notoriously awkward) DH.
Thank you :)

It was more the tip to look there as they have 40% off across the site. There's another 15% off Christmas jumpers only with XMAS15.

Famousthehero · 08/12/2024 12:20

Language translation AI headphones

£9.99 no reviews or anything but have me curious…

beetr00 · 08/12/2024 12:31

Wildlife camera £40.99

do check though, the good reviews are not relevant to this item

WhippetsRule · 08/12/2024 12:33

Has anyone seen any bargainous photo calendar offers please? Normally there are some good deals I've not seen any yet this year...

Thank you

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 08/12/2024 12:36

Hey give mind shoppers. DD has requested a cherry bed set, but I'm struggling to find any that are 100% cotton. Has anyone seen any that are in stock? I saw a set on Debenhams that looks suspiciously like a set on temu, and I'm wary of them 🤣

PaddingtonTwinkles · 08/12/2024 12:42

Went IRL shopping today, it was awful. Some shops looked liked they had been ransacked. So grateful for this thread and getting me ahead of the game 😀

Just a reminder, it's the last day today for the bargain Flower & White meringue bars.
These x50 bars for £19.16. Original price was £109.50, it's on offer for £38.33. Delete the discount code it gives you, and add the code BLKNOV. You then get it for the bargain of £19.16

Was just doing the math on it. It goes from original price of £2.19 per bar, to 76p, then to 38p 😋
