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

@threelittlebearcubs Pm’d you 🎄🥰

I also had a sockshop order lost in transit sent on the 11th

No worries I’ll pm you the code ☺️

Thank you very much.

Has anyone received their terrys chocolate yet? 😬🙈

@44PumpLane I have no idea about the website , so you would have to check its ok , shipping times etc , there is express shipping at £19 😒 but if you were desperate it might be worth a look https://www.golfteestore.com/null-daphne-s-headcovers-daphne-s-highland-cow-golf-driver-head-cover/

No, although I’m not sure if I did it properly as never got any email confirmation.

I never got an email confirmation either, makes me wonder whether they are even gonna send them at all 😂

No

People moaning about the BBC boxes. If you get £15 back and sell the samples on eBay for £15 you've got all the other stuff for free anyway. Some people are selling them for £5 each!!

@SeeTheBatsFly the "lego" site posted in previous years closed down, but these do the same thing: Star Wars minifigures

Someone needs some hot chocolate this morning that was a tad grinchy.
It’s absolutely fine for people to be upset that they did not receive what they expected to.
Your suggestion is great but maybe say it with kinder words

Re: the Terrys chocolate orange offer was only on 11th and think it was open for a few days. I'd guess they won't arrive before Christmas. Even the landing page for the offer says they were totally overwhelmed with orders. Fingers crossed they send them

I'd completely forgotten about that! Thanks... and no, not yet.

I'd put the details in a photo frame then they can fill the frame with a print from the shoot.

@Christmasmcchristmasface

It's not a suggestion. That's what people ARE doing!!

Good morning you lovely people. Payday has come around! I'm after recommendations for DH. I'm looking for an endoscope camera and an electric heat pad for back pain, which will work for someone who wears 2xl. Can anyone give me any suggestions or recommendations?

Thank you!

I ordered Sockshop on 14th and got it yesterday.

@44PumpLane have you tried calling the pro shops at a few local golf clubs to you in case they stock them ?

They didn't offer everyone £15 back though

I’ve tried unsuccessfully to get into the sock shop live chat so I’ve emailed them to request a refund for my order, disappointing as my previous order arrived quickly and I wanted the sock crackers

I know there are loads of Laithwaites code offers to get £40 off an £80 spend for new customers, but here is an additional code for £10 off for current customers if you order 6 bottles of wine or more. One time use.

If a new customer then you're better with the £40 off link below

Re: the Terrys Chocolate offer. It keeps coming up on my fb feed. People were in uproar about it, saying the T&C’s weren’t clear and people ordered more than one, which made the offer end sooner then expected.
Overall feeling was Terrys are swamped with multiple orders and no one knows what will get fulfilled. At this point, I guess if it comes, it comes 😊

Back to the bargains! A bit of a niche one, but Amazon have some decent deals on Lumie SAD lights atm- including one at £59.99 that is currently £100 elsewhere (JL etc)

Deal: Lumie Vitamin L, Slim Light Box for Effective SAD Light Therapy, White amzn.eu/d/3wn9Vjg

It's a shame quite a few of us had their Sock Shop orders go missing.
