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

Can anyone help with football bits. Just written Santa lists (never so late again) and been asked for - shin pads - Ronaldo Portugal red green top and - Neymar Brazil top. I’m clueless. I also already got mains so didn’t want to spend £££ more. Problem is they a big ten year old in 13/14 tops.

Thanks Annie yes please that’s kind of you I would appreciate the PM. Still thinking about the Oddballs basket!

For anyone suffering from Deans FOMO (or possibly already gifted/eaten their order), I spotted Deans shortbread packets in my local Iceland this morning (chocolate chip and lemon curd flavours, £2 per packet).

Alot of the Ulster weavers aprons have matching oven gloves reduced.

Does anyone know a good website to get an American sweet/cakes hamper from? Last minute addition to the list!
Thanks

There's also a £10 bonus on Quidco today - I used a 10% student discount code so I doubt I'll get the Quidco bonus. The student discount was less than £10 but was instant and guaranteed so I took that option instead of waiting a few months for Quidco.

15% off if you’re a first time sign up to their emails

OK here’s a festive one a jumper debobbler. Any recommendations or better yet bargains?

Darn it!

Any idea if it’s in store too? Off RL shopping soon 🛍️

Yes it is - today and tomorrow.

Thank you 🤩 🙏

I always used to get my DS his kits from eBay, they were cheap replicas but the quality was always decent. Just check the reviews before you buy.

My mum has received her Flying Flowers. She says they are lovely and fresh and was very pleased. I ordered the all white bouquet however they are white and yellow! Oh well, can’t grumble for the price!

My dm also receiver her flying flowers. A bright bouquet and all the flowers look to be in good condition. They look good although I think I'd have been annoyed if I paid full price as I'd get a bigger bunch from bloom and wild. Mine (same bunch) are due this afternoon

Does anyone know of any Superdrug discount codes? 🙏

I would love an oddballs code if anyone has one?

I also ordered the Lovisa advent calendars for my dd’s. They will be over the moon. Thanks to the OP. I just need to stop spending soon and everything will be fine 🫠

Oddballs have a 10% off code flashing up on the front page of the website

I know some of these deals are a 50/50 of you win some and lose some. I definitely lost with flying flowers, most of the bunch are dead. Typical as I ordered for a pick me up

Yes! I bought one in September and I have just gone to look at my order history and it says it’s no longer available but suggests a similar one that looks very similar. I think I paid about £7.95 when I got it though.

Can anyone recommend where I can use to send a bottle of champagne to someone as a gift pls?
I've tried majestic and Waitrose cellar, but it wont let me send as a gift/add a gift note.
Anyone set one bottle to another recipient with a note and any discounts been spotted?!

Edited to add a discount: my big Sainsburys had discounts on Christmas decorations when I was there today - lights, wreaths, wrapping paper. No huge discounts, but 25-33%.

Free shipping on Character.com - good for PJs and some costumes.

£10 off £50 spend at Frugi with free delivery.

Code: CC24FR10

It’s WELCOME15 hope that helps Meryl
I can’t find any free postage codes for Ulster Weavers but keeping an eye out
