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

Oooo I missed this gousto deal, don’t suppose it’s still on now is it?

It did that for me too. I have order summaries sent with the hats still there, so I'm presuming they're still coming. If they don't I'll be returning the order.

.

I mean order summaries emailed confirmation, so fingers 🤞

Ok, is it free returns? I might take the risk and do the same then 😂

Have you tried the fleece blankets? Debating ordering one for DS to match his towel that I ordered in the last order

@Howmanysleepsnow I got my daughter one of these skirts from new look at the weekend and she loves it. She got black but I seen other colours in store

@Puffalicious and @hugsandpugs - do you know what the women's Oddballs boxers are like?

@chochocolateisavegetable I've ordered two gifts from The Little Cheese Monger. The selection of cheeses looked better then the truckle style.

The blankets look lush. One matching the towel would be lovely.

Sorry to be a pain but would someone with blue light please check something for me. I asked a while ago about Duke video discount. I always forget to check my blue light. Just remembered it and was delighted it was there. But - keeps saying Failed to load company when I try to get code.
I would appreciate it so much if someone would check and see if it’s doing the same for them. Thank you.

DS2's girlfriend swears by the pants & sports bras, not sure about the boxers. She's only 18, but I don't suppose that matters! 🤣

Just checked for you and mine says the same x

Took me about 15 attempts. Just got the mint one. Not sure I wanted that but I trued all if them ( a few times).

Game of cat & mouth is down to £11.20
Really fun quick game for 2, you're basically catapulting balls at targets. The box is clever unfolds like a suitcase to create the playing area.

Thank you so much @OrangeSmartiesTasteDifferent I can’t really risk leaving it much longer. I feel better going ahead without a code as long as I know there isn’t one available!
These threads have made me want a discount on everything 🤣

Haven’t caught up on full thread yet so someone else might have already replied but my dd got some from new look recently just like this.

I have no idea but I’ve ordered myself the Rolling Stones ones along with the bralette! 🙈It does say to size up though on the women’s underwear

@Scutterbug - have a look at ELF on their app. They have lots of rewards/free gifts/promotions on a regular basis. I really like their lip pencils - only £3 each!

If you have things to buy in Boots, today would be a good day: 20 points for every £1 spent, on purchases £60+.

Also, free S&G lip gloss, but only if you spend £40 on the brand. (I wonder if this is what they intended doing with the free no7 mascara but forgot to stipulate it in the offer.)

JL’s effort is very disappointing!

Thank you for this! Not for presents but I've given in to my rather unhealthy palm pals addiction!

For anyone interested they had a brontosaurus, caterpillar, snowy owl, moose and wolf all £3.59 each. Shipping is £1.50 over £9 or £4 if spending less. I bought one of each for £19.45 so just under £4 each! Oops.... let's hope I see the parcel before DH 🤣

I also ordered the Terry's chocolate orange, I did one each for dds under mine and dh name fingers crossed they come! No idea on flavours as i was randomly trying each combo! So thank you for that too!

Officially given up on the chocolate orange. Been trying for hours and so has DP but no luck :(

ORDER DEADLINE TONIGHT - last chance!

Teens and men

If you're really struggling for a gift, the Snack verse box is brilliant.

This month is the 10,000 miles box, special for Christmas, which has countries like Japan and US for the first time ever.

I've got a referral code for £5 off but I'm mentioning this box purely out of wanting to help because it was a big hit in our house.

I actually kept the sub all year for my son as he enjoyed it that much and it's just such a nice little pick me up each month when he's working so hard at school.

Mine says 'failed to load company'

QVC have the dyson airstrait on offer, payable over 6 months too.

This thread never disappoints! I bought loungewear from the Sock Shop for DH and I - I’m so pleased, the quality seems to be very good. Excellent customer service too when I had a mix up with my order.
