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

Sorry everyone can I ask if anyone has ordered from Oddballs and has a code to share, would you be kind enough to PM me? I’ve got SANTA10 for 10% off but have a few teens to buy for. Thank you 🙏🏼

Try SLEIGH15 for 15% off. Worked for me the other day.

@LetMeJustCheckMyCitrusPocket a place called Cissy Wears seem to have the ramen in stock for £35 - which is the same price as the jellycat website. but it's not somewhere I have shopped before

DH has just announced that a good gift for him would be a cooking apron. I merrily scrolled by when they were mentioned on another previous thread 🙄. Can anybody remember where was recommended please? Thank you.

Ulster Weavers on the outlet

@DeathStarCanteenGal I've just found that too! But am a little wary as it's never come up before and I'm not familiar with it. I've messaged them to ask, thank you so much for looking for me! 🤗

DeathStarCanteenGal · 14/12/2024 18:10

no worries @LetMeJustCheckMyCitrusPocket on a search for some jellycats myself! if anyone sees a curvie pug do please shout, though I think it's been discontinued

FeltCarrot · 14/12/2024 19:02

@LetMeJustCheckMyCitrusPocket There is a lovely gift shop in Altrincham that sells Jellycat I’m going tomorrow so will have to a look for you.

DeathStarCanteenGal · 14/12/2024 19:02

if you could that would be amazing @LetMeJustCheckMyCitrusPocket - although I think it has been discontinued

These are my mum’s flowers. I think they’re nice, I just wasn’t expecting the yellow chrysanthemums!

I ordered some flowers for delivery today, but looks like they are still out for delivery, anyone else still waiting? My main concerns are that my mum probably won't answer the door once it's past 9pm as she'll be in bed, and also if the flowers are left until Monday they won't be in the best condition, I didn't even want them delivered today but that was the only option available.😬

Anyone else still waiting?

hugsandpugs · 14/12/2024 19:15

My flying flowers which arrived today! 💐

Thank you very much for the Oddballs code I appreciate it Puffalicious

@LibraryUser I sent one from Laithwaites last week, looked great from the pic the recipient sent me

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!

I ordered the same as you for my Sister and ended up with white and yellow too! Good value I think but not what I ordered. Will see what my Mum's are like when she gets home!

Ladybaga · 14/12/2024 19:32

Just spotted this on wowcher, it's a deans hamper with nice tins, but not sure how it compares exactly to the black friday deal, but I think its quite similar contents?

Is there a discount code for the 30% off please? Thanks

Hi, no it is just 30% off on some (more on some and less on some, and none on some) as advertised on each watch.

Joiedepotato · 14/12/2024 19:44

My £6 photo canvas arrived today and I'm really chuffed with it (moving next year so it can go up in the new house 😁) so thank you to the poster who found that!

PinkSkiesAtNight · 14/12/2024 19:54

My mum's Flying Flowers arrived this afternoon. Left in her safe place, but the photo was 'unavailable' . Luckily she got home soon after as her safe place isn't really very safe! They look beautiful in the photo she sent me, and she (seems) is very happy.

Those look lovely!

SugarIsHardtoAvoid · 14/12/2024 20:06

Very nice hugsandpugs and PinkSkiesAtNight
I sent the same mixed colour bunch to my friend. Hopefully it’s as lovely as yours are!
I sent the white bunch to my auntie and having seen it I’m a bit miffed. Mostly yellow daisies, 3 white roses and all quite battered.

pasinphoebe · 14/12/2024 20:22

@SugarIsHardtoAvoid sounds the same as the bunch I ordered, nowhere near as nice as the coloured ones on here! Perhaps we were unlucky but some of the greenery was brown and was full of mostly daisies with half the petals missing …

Lovemusic82 · 14/12/2024 20:24

Does anyone know if fatface do discount codes other than 10% off first order? Also when do they start their sale? I’m after some pj bottoms (the whale ones) but can’t justify the price.
