Thread ?17? the one where I've lost count

[Reastie]

I have no idea what thread number we're on now

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)

Also this game called Monkey see Monkey Poo is under £5 and has excellent reviews for children 4 and up. Sounds a great gift for nieces and nephews (the Monkey throws poo apparently. My kids would love it, but i am a terrible mother so we won't be getting it!)

And oh my goodness I put links on both of those, but the link adding is clearly not working again.

monkey see Monkey poo

And just search outfoxed for the other one. Apologies

Thanks for the flowers link @Geminijes

I have ordered a couple for delivery over the weekend. Has anyone managed to get them to order later? Whenever I try to it says they are not available for those dates, so I guess the offer is just for the next few days?

Just wanted to highlight to everyone this thread, ideas for ~£15 or less

Quidco bonus on their 12 days of Christmas unboxing is £20 on a £50 hotel chocolate spend.

12 days to go!

Does anybody know of any personalised birthday cards deal at all please?

It’s a Christmas Day birthday and I usually receive a code through in the run up, but nothing yet.

@bigchanges1 PM sent

This will make a great kids birthday present, thank you!

Someone was looking for makeup brushes yesterday, these have just gone half price amzn.eu/d/46Uy7s1

I’m looking for Mont Blanc explorer gift set (with little miniature aftershave) 3 piece set it’s cheapest on look fantastic but never used it and the first few reviews are terrible, anyone used them?

@Miathecat I use lookfantastic all the time. Never had any issues, products are packed well and delivered quickly!

Well the Flying Flowers I bought myself are here already. Will arrane once I've sorted breakfast here.

Robert Dyas advent calendar deal for today is a ‘Easy Karaoke Pop Box with Two Mics’ for £24.99 with code advent13 here

House of Fraser have a beauty box worth £180 which includes a full sized bottle of Gucci Rush for £40

Thanks for the flowers link.
I could only get the discounted bunches to work for delivery tomorrow but used the code off a bunch for mils bday in Jan.

I’ve used look fantastic lots of times, in fact I used it 2 days ago. It’s currently 15% cashback at topcashback for fragrances too so worth going through there.

Yep also used Look Fantastic a lot and they are….fantastic 😆

I'm still waiting for my order from the night store which I made on 23rd November. I've chased it three times now and they claim it's now being processed and I should have tracking info in the next 48 hours. So I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone making an order there and expecting it to arrive any time soon!

Anyone know a way to serve the £5 delivery at House of Fraser?
or if this bag is available in store?

@Geminijes flying flowers delivered to my elderly mother less than 24 hours after ordering! Thank you so much.

Hot Diamonds have a 50% off the outlet items *EXTRA50

I am guessing it will stack with JEWELS for free delivery

If you have ordered from them before - check if you have any credits in your account as you can sometimes use them to get a bit more off

I’ve just bought my second Deans Hamper. They are so delicious I couldn’t bear the thought of running out! Also got some to take to my parents who are cooking Christmas Lunch for us. That was my justification anyway! They have 20% off some hampers.

Thanks for thinking of me but they are one of the sets I have returned, they are not great.

Does anyone have a laithwaites code please?

John Lewis treat via the app today is 20% off selected jewellery and watches, online and in store.
