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

Not sure if anyone has posted about this cookie company but my workplace had a box delivered to all employees’ home on Tuesday as a Christmas gift and they were delicious and beautifully packaged with a lovely inspirational card which I found rather nice and unique. We’ve now been given a £5 workplace discount code which I’ve just used to order a box for a friend to be delivered just Christmas so the cookies arrive fresh as you can choose your delivery date.

Use code MWA£5

Euphoria Cakes London

I don’t like gifting things that could potentially go to waste so this just seems like a more practical gift and pocket friendly.

One thing though, I couldn’t get the code to work on their box of 6 so you could only use it on box of 8 which pretty much works out to be the same as box of 6 after the discount but I don’t know how long the code will be useful for though but glad I was able to save that much.

I wish I had taken pictures of the cookies packaging at the time of delivery because it’s really luxurious but I was nicely surprised I didn’t think of it.

I’m not sure of there are better offers out there but these codes stack to give roughly 25% off at Hotel Chocolat, and also stack with their offers e.g. 2 sleeksters for £49.95. So I got 2 sleeksters and 3 selectors for £48.92 with free collection from store.

Has anyone received their suffragete mouse yet? I’ve just sat down to do all my wrapping and realised it’s not arrived. It does say to allow 14 days for delivery and it’s not quite been that long yet by a day or two.

FeltCarrot · 16/12/2024 09:21

I noticed suffragette mice at the Manchester Xmas market of the Manchester Shop stall if that’s of any interest to anyone.

NotMeekNotObedient · 16/12/2024 09:41

Aveda Blue Malva shampoo is on offer at Notino £47.51. But I just can't quite bring myself to spend that on a bottle of shampoo for MIL 🙈.

Hohohopeful · 16/12/2024 09:55

@vladspants I ordered 2 mice and 3 other decorations. They other decorations arrived a few days after I ordered, but the mice weren't there. They were hard to contact (no reply to emails etc), but found a WhatsApp number on their face book. They told me mice being dispatched at the end of last week. If they aren't here tomorrow, I'll chase again. It seemed odd there was no mention of this in the order, but hopefully it will work out. They seem like a nice business from their Facebook.

They are sending royal mail from a post office, so I guess a few days delivery.

Heartstopper paperback only £2.02 on Amazon

My free grumm set arrived and I must say it’s packaged so lovely! It’s for me but could easily be given as a gift. 🎁

Also has a lip conditioner oil in the box at the bottom 👄

Also can’t remember who else ordered the oddballs items but the free hat did come even after my order went under £40 with the 25% discount! Happy days 😊

SweetPeaPods · 16/12/2024 10:14

Anyone have an Argos code please?

SweetPeaPods · 16/12/2024 10:15

Free delivery at Lakeland AFD12

Hey sorry only skimmed the thread as i fell behind

B&M are doing their 3 toys for £20 until 24th i think i saw

Also i just realised i need a nursery gift! (Just didnt think about it!) other than sweets/ biscuits any ideas? Its a small nursery so probably get something they can all have rather than individual stuff

It was a festive bundle free via Vodafone rewards from a couple of weeks ago! Worth the wait ❤️

Bridal beauty have offered £10 refund for the beauty bag that did not contain the products it advertised it would or I can return for a refund and pay postage costs. I feel the tone of the email is quite short and they have removed the item from the website so reviews can’t be left

VeruccaSalty · 16/12/2024 11:08

Yes I got a suffragette mouse late last week. Its so cute want to keep it

That’s for that info. I’ve just sent a WhatsApp.

Can anyone tell me how you get an Argos code sent please, I'm signed up to the emails but have never got one. I want to place a £50 order but if there is something I can do to get a code sent I will obviously do that first. Thanks

Wholetthedogsoutwhowhowho · 16/12/2024 11:48

Hello!
I am after Burberry Hero for men if anyone has seen a good price please?
Notino has come up when I Google but seems to good to be true at half the price compared to Boots for example so am wary of the site.
Thanks all!

bizzey · 16/12/2024 11:48

Hi, which bag was it please? I ordered a couple of sets, and one of them I really was not happy with
