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

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

Ikea advent today is £10 voucher when you spend £50 in store, if you go in 'festive wear! Seems to be running all weekend.

My Claire's experience- ordered 3 items to collect in store. Used my £5 Claires Club voucher and paid 20p on card. One item out of stock, the girl in the shop said it would go back onto my card even though I paid using the voucher so I emailed customer services. It took a couple of days to reply but they've added the full £5 voucher back onto my account without me even asking so got the other 2 items for nothing which I thought was pretty good of them, I didn't have to chase them up to get a refund

I’m glad you had a good experience - I’ve never had the £5 voucher added back automatically! When I’ve looked there have been £5 vouchers on my account, but ones I hadn’t used yet from before the transaction.

Just a heads up to anyone with Amazon Prime - always double check on there for a price comparison before buying online on some of the other sites currently offering discounts. For examle, I've just made a purchase on LookFantastic availing of the TCB and 20% off, but I removed a set of make-up sponges from my basket as they were £12 on there and £6.49 on an Amazon deal (with free delivery). Also a book I bought via Harper Collins sale a few weeks ago was 50% off on Amazon yesterday and again with the free prime delivery. So I would have saved a few quid. 😂

I know most of you savvy bargain hunters would probably do this kind of cross checking anyway though! 😎

More sock shop loungewear 😍

at this rate I’ll have one in every colour and a lot less money in my bank 😂

Was there a deal on a map of football stadiums?! One that you can scratch off to mark the ones you've visited?

I've got a note in my giftlist app but no website! Any help much appreciated.

I have just received an order I placed yesterday afternoon. I ordered a set of loungewear each for my sons. I love the feel of it and love how it’s all wrapped in individual bags.
Thank you so much for the recommendation.
I’m so tempted to place another order, for me this time though.

Moppet5 · 13/12/2024 11:31

I had the pantene set in my basket went to check out and it had moved to saved for later at full price! Not having much luck this morning, had the reduced flowers, went to check out and no delivery available only the more expensive bouquets

Your welcome! 😊 gutted they don’t do kids versions tbh! Got men’s ones for DH and DS (13) as he’s in men’s clothes. I now have 3 colours myself in the women’s 🙈

I missed out on the Deans hampers first time around and the Christmas cracker one with the nice tins is 20% off today.
There is also a 10% off code when you sign up for the newsletter and this stacks, so takes the hamper from £30.99 to £22.31 and free shipping. Today is the last day for Christmas delivery

TheGirlWhoLived · 13/12/2024 11:44

@Miathecat code REVEAL should get you something off at lookfantastic. If not 40PLUS might work, stacked some codes yesterday and got the 50ml Carolina herrera gift set delivered today for £75 😮‍💨

Help again. Son no longer wants Nike trainers and wants carharrt WIP aviation cargos. Theyre almost as much. Any tips for buying carharrt eg via a stockist ?

I got a couple.
they're not scratch off though, you would write on it. I think! Better check the website

Miathecat · 13/12/2024 13:18
