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

@Famousthehero thank you, starting on next year's birthdays now 😉

I could only get one code to work. Like you, I wanted cheap flowers and free chocolates but chose cheap flowers.

My teen would love them in her stocking if still going spare. That's so kind of you

Oh! Typically I didn't pay any attention to the jellycats talk earlier and now I need a croissant and sweetcorn, any pointers please as reluctant to spend £30 at this stage in the game thanks

Hi - yes still available - PM me your address and I will post them out.

Ooh thank you so much for the flowers tip! I went for the amaryllis etc and they’re coming on 23/13-£29, bargain!!! Tried to order some for my sister but no dates available until the new year!

Thanks geminijes! Just ordered my friend some flowers for £12.80 and free delivery so thank you 😃

@Geminijes Thank you - I have just ordered a lovely white bouquet of flowers to be delivered for Saturday for £12.80.

Paw patrol fleece blankets 50% off on Amazon prime deals today. Lowest I've seen. Rubbish at links sorry!!!

Yes I seem to have bought a little too much off these threads. Fortunately I have several birthdays in January/February so I am prepared.
Perhaps the threads could continue throughout the year for birthday presents.

@Fairyliz the prequels to these threads run all year as far as I know

My Thompson & Morgan Seed Tin arrived today with the 10 seed packets - looks lovely and goes well with the Gardeners Almanac. I can't remember who posted it but thank you!

Do u know is this still available

www.thompson-morgan.com/p/thompson-morgan-seed-collection-tin-gift/WKC0238TM

Yes, still 9.99. When you click 'Choose' and scroll to the bottom option it includes the 10 packs of seeds

That looks great! Ironically, mine hasn’t arrived yet 🙄

@mummyof2boys30 it’s this one and, in the drop down, choose the option with the 10 packets of national trust seeds. £9.99 which is the same price as the empty tin.

It was particularly bargainous when there was free delivery a few days ago. The free delivery offer might come back, as it was also on earlier in the month.

@Geminijes Thank you so much , ordered the beautiful white ones for myself for my birthday, £12.80.
I love flowers!

The cocktail mugs are back to full price now 😏, would have made a good gift for my friend

The Dining Out Gift Card £20 20% off @ Amazon

Thank you for the flying flowers code. Got a bunch for me and bunch for dm

Thank you so much. I have a couple of family members who have been having a difficult time and these will be a lovely early Christmas present.

This Where's Stitch? book is down to £3.44 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1835870260 till Midnight

Haha! I thought the same. Yummy though 😋

@Geminijes thanks so much! Just ordered one of the payments£22.80 ones for £12.80.

There is an offer on top cash back too for 18.9% back but does say in exclusions no promo codes. Worth a try though, I’ve gone through TCB just incase.

@hugsandpugs thank you so much for the sock crackers suggestion. They’ve arrived today and are perfect. 👌

Your very welcome, glad to have been able to help 🎄
