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

Stock informer is a handy site http://www.stockinformer.co.uk/default.aspx?fullsite=1

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.

Get a £5 off SnackSurprise box. Use coupon: REFFKT5R73QYF snackverse.com/

EASY CANCEL ONLINE IN 2 SECONDS.

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.

Which snack box do you need to order. Mini or original? I can't see one called surprise?

onedayatatime73 · 12/12/2024 06:51

Sorry I must have missed the original post. What is the chocolate orange offer?

MaybeItsTimeForMeNow · 12/12/2024 06:53

Does anyone remember the codes that stack on it diamonds please ? I've tried searching but have failed. My.birthday voucher has come through so hoping it all stacks 🙏🏼

For those worrying about tumble drying Socks Sockshop lounge wear, I've had mine for a year. I wash them on 40 ( because they're black like dc's school uniform) and chuck them in the dryer on 'Extra dry' and they still look like new. They're great IMO.

Thank you ..that was me !

It used to be called Snack Surprise, but there was an awful lot of negative reviews online, so they stopped for a month, and then rebranded. I had the original subscription for over a year and;

  1. It was only ever Europen countries
  2. Customer service was non-existent, I use to have to chase up where the box was every single month.
  3. It was awful to cancel, I emailed three times, no acknowledgement, and had to block the payment on my card.

It was a pity, as it was a brilliant idea, but poorly executed.

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

Hours? You could have gone to the shop in that time 😂😂

@Howmanysleepsnow I saw this one in Primark last week. It's on click and collect. Not sure if they had any other colours. It was on the model for Rita oras range.

STom2 · 12/12/2024 07:37

Just got the regular free choc orange now so the offer must still be going. Worked on first attempt with no browser change that some have had to do.

Maybe they are restricting the number sent to each area/postcode? Or perhaps there was an overload last night with all of us trying it out and might be worth another shot this morning. 🤞

Travelcrazy · 12/12/2024 07:40

Can anyone recommend a good make up brush set please, preferably online/Amazon? I have ordered 3 so far and sent them back cos they looked like kids sets. Budget about £30

Thanks a million!

Thank you so much. That made a big difference and that’s dh sorted for Christmas. I really appreciate it.

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 12/12/2024 08:18

@Pinkladymel there's a referral thread for referral links.

Wholetthedogsoutwhowhowho · 12/12/2024 08:22

Has there been an offer on at sock shop? Seem to remember talk of their lounge wear?

@Oreyt I don't actually live near a supermarket, but random clicks on the internet only took a few seconds of my life over those few hours so I'm ok with that 😄. Do wonder why some were able to get them so easily though. I even tried at 5am and still no luck.

I'm supposed to be on a diet anyway 🫢

PinkPanther27 · 12/12/2024 08:45

Hello lovely Mumsnetters, I'm hoping you can help. My son (15) wants to buy his girlfriend (15) a bracelet or earrings for Christmas. They've been together about a year and she wears silver. I ignored all the bargains in a previous thread (which I can't find) and am not sure if there are any current discount codes to get a bargainous price for something beautiful but not too pricey. Thank you 🙏

Daimyum · 12/12/2024 08:55

If anyone buying from very...Topcashback are offering an extra £5 for a £50 spend today

What is his budget @PinkPanther27 ?

Hot diamonds may still have some stacking offers on? There a few things in their outlet and their packing is brilliant (proper boxes and bags)
