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

I got one a couple of weeks back (before BF) from amazon for £39 which was the cheapest I could find. Just checked and it’s back up the now but the price does yo-yo and have seen it go up and down a lot recently so I would keep checking there.

Thank you.... I detest TK max at the best if times but... needs must!

Does anyone know if the NIO cocktails box comes inside another box? I want to gift it to someone so don’t want them to be in the box they’re posted in with labels etc attached. Hope that makes sense?

Typo for ramen bowls! Or if they like my hero academia or dragonball HMV had some reduced instore.

Following on from @gincakecomps Ghost perfume find, these popped up as I was adding it to my basket. Now to decide which one sounds the nicest and who I could gift it to!

I just ordered a wee extra gift for DH- a small canvas print of the DC. It is only 30x 20cm but was £6 delivered so a nice wee add on. I decided as it was so small it wouldn't need a hanging wire, but you can add one for £3 if you want to.

Code is 12KFL9FZ

The website is here

Make sure you select the correct size (30x20).

@SpamIAm It’s actually cheaper for the item I want to order from jaques and pay postage as it’s on offer. I probably will end up doing that but it’s just annoying that I can’t find owt to add to my order to make it free!

@Mince3141 I ordered on the 10 Nov and they arrived 03 Dec, not personalised though

Mine took 4 weeks almost to the day

Does anyone have any hot tips for buying a Frog Bike? I would normally go with secondhand but short on time and energy this year to manage marketplace. Any good source of secondhand or bargainous discounted frog bikes for a very tired mama who doesn’t want to mess up the main present.

Argos still has them at the black friday price of £39.99 - limited colours but ive never seen it cheaper

I need help again! My DD wants nesting unicorns! Anyone seen anything like this? Or alternatively any other really cute nesting/stacking dolls?

Hi everyone - my littlest and only toy receiving DD has requested a sticker maker. Specifically one that turns her own drawings into stickers (she’s seen it on YouTube) I’ve searched and searched but can’t find anything to match the description. Does anyone have any idea what she means? TIA

@Sneezein3 could it be something like this? Xyron 5-inch x 18 ft Permanent 500 Create-A-Sticker Machine, Transparent,Blue, Gray amzn.eu/d/iVCsY3L

Thanks so much for this. I was looking to get a pic of the kids done for DH!

My kids had this one @Sneezein3

ebay have some really cute nesting dolls (not seen unicorns though) search Matryoshka Dolls

Has anyone ever used Wowcher?
My DH has asked for Terre D' Herm dupe from the essence vault, but Wowcher seem to be selling the real thing (without a box) for a similar price!! Any advice or ideas welcomed.

Amazon do lots of nesting dolls and animals, like penguins, owls, polar bears, etc. Haven’t seen unicorns but if you’re crafty- or she is- could you paint your own?

Yep mine took a roughly 4 weeks too, no personalised @Mince3141
edited to tag op

Is it the same as this one for £5.50?

I placed my order 25th October. It was dispatched 27th October and delivered 2nd November, so it should be fine.

Yes have used a few times, check terms and conditions for postage costs

noodle bowls

putting return could possibly get cheaper @Wigglewoowoo
