The one where there’s 20 days til Christmas

[hugsandpugs]

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

£35 but includes coffee? @Fuckingfuckssake

£29 without coffee

@NoWordForFluffy perfect!! Thank you.

Are valentee diffusers nice and does anyone have an offer?

Also, does anyone know if the laithwaite offer is still going?

This prompted me to check my Qwertee order and it's saying this. It's for stocking fillers so I hope it does arrive between those dates and not in January 😐

Random ask but has anyone seen a heart cuddly toy? My DD has asked for one from Santa and I've had a google and they're all quite pricey!!

Oh I forgot my daughter has asked for "a penguin pillow" does anyone happen to have seen such a thing??

Can you get to an ikea

Penguin pillow. Or could get a squishmallow?

Anyone know if Oliver Bonas are likely to reduce anything before Christmas or have a code please? The one thing I wanted wasn’t reduced on Black Friday.

@ZIGGY911 yes, the Laithwaites deals are still on.

lots of referral codes on this page.

@icouldnteatanotherbite my Qwertee t-shirts came within the week. Would it be worth messaging customer services?

Hi, LF have got 20% off most things and 25% off Estée Lauder.

Code: 40PLUS stacks with some of these reductions.

Can anyone recommend a yo-yo that works well and is pink or purple please? Saw one on Smiggle but the delivery is expensive!

The link on its own didn't work for me either, I did order but I needed to put a valid code in.

@NoForwardingAddress me! I ordered on 25/11!! My husband ordered on 29/11 and his order arrived yday 🤔
I emailed yday to check and got a generic ‘very busy, working hard, will let you know when dispatched type email’

These ones are fantastic but not cheap - no idea what the smiggle comparitor costs!

Found this by accident. A variety of nesspresso pods, 100 for £21.19. It has a £4 off voucher for me

Palm pals do a heart shaped cuddly toy. Or could you search vinted with words like valentines soft toy I'm sure lots will come up.

I'm not sure if they still do them or you might find on vinted. But my daughter got a penguin pillow from London zoo, it zips into a pillow then reverses into a penguin.

Alternatively I would go for a squishmallow or aldi dupe one!

@ZIGGY911 yes valette defusers are worth it. That always have offers on the website. They do spam you after signing up to emails though

Are they compatible with the bargain coffee machine we got?

@PaddingtonTwinkles only if you buy the converter! Which I just did from eBay 🤣

I had to buy the coffee on subscription to get £4 off, and they're delivering at the start of January.

A heads up for those ordering from QWERTY. There are some great tshirts but make sure you tell the people you are giving them to to wash no hotter than 30C. They are not as good quality and even washing at 30, they seem to get smaller each wash :(

Thanks @Didyeaye i also contacted then through Instagram yesterday, but still no response. Really poor.

@Raindancer411 we have never had a problem with qwertee t-shirts and I wash everything at 40!
