I'm taking a punt here that we won't need another thread before Christmas, but feel free to prove me wrong!

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

Camelcamelcamel is a great amazon price tracking tool http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com

The following links compare price products including postage
www.find-book.co.uk
www.find-cd.co.uk
www.find-dvd.co.uk
www.find-game.co.uk (as in PS4/xbox etc)

My converse arrived this morning at 9.15, even though parcelforce were still showing them as being at the national hub.

marshmallowbum · 24/12/2024 09:53

Merry Christmas everyone - I hope it's a good one! Thanks to @sideofchips and @reastie for the many happy years of bargain threads xx

hugsandpugs · 24/12/2024 09:55

Thanks to the person who shared the Etsy code for 50% off my imagine dragons hoody has just arrived! 🥳

The one time I wish I was with Vodafone.... They are doing two small costa coffee apparently

I can’t see anything on my app.. unless it’s for broadband customers. I’m with them for mobile sim contract

hugsandpugs · 24/12/2024 10:03

Two of my converse orders are out for delivery this morning. The other one isn’t however - tracking details with Parcelforce is showing that they don’t have it yet 😬 Really bizzare as they were all ordered within minutes of each other

TimPat · 24/12/2024 10:34

My converse have arrived, I'm delighted with them for the price and only slightly regret not buying the black as well! They seem true to size to me if not a little generous.
Merry Christmas all 🎄🎅

hugsandpugs · 24/12/2024 10:36

🥰 yay

THE ONE WITH CHRISTMAS!
Londonmummy66 · 24/12/2024 10:38

Another one wanting to thank @Reastie for the lovely threads and everyone on them for sharing their bargains. My parents were delighted with the Deans shortbread! I'm hoping DC will like the beauty bargains and the crimpits Santa is bringing.

MaybeItsTimeForMeNow · 24/12/2024 08:33

M&S has a sale on now. Just got some slippers for £6 and a nightie.

Merry Christmas everyone 🎁 🎄

Thank you for mentioning the M&S sale but it doesn’t work for me, just 40% off home and bedding.

I’m on the app, am logged in and have a Sparkscard.

In the past I’ve had early access as a Sparkscard holder, but haven’t bought much this year. Perhaps that’s why.

Yalz · 24/12/2024 11:31

Thank you from me too to @Reastie and @Sideorderofchips ❤️

Raindancer411 · 24/12/2024 12:38

@hugsandpugs Maybe, I just saw it on one of the groups I am on but they just said it was on Vodafone. Hopefully someone will get it :)

Yalz · 24/12/2024 12:54

@MaybeItsJustTimeToStop although I can’t search for M&S sale items, when I searched for women’s slippers and sorted by price the £6 came up.

I must try different categories now. Thank you!

pinkksugarmouse · 24/12/2024 13:18

Thank you for the threads and MerryChristmas mumsnetters xxxx 🎅🎄

woodwaj · 24/12/2024 13:21

Hope everyone is having a lovely relaxed christmas eve!

A quick thank you to the poster of the etsy code and the work around I've just ordered pre made party bags for my sons birthday in a few weeks!

BourbonsAreOverated · 24/12/2024 13:24

Thank you everyone. You all honestly make my Christmas. I do genuinely appreciate them so much and extra special thanks for @Reastie (and the other lovely thread starters) for keeping order

these threads are definitely the best of mumsnet

BourbonsAreOverated · 24/12/2024 13:25

Anyone with the cornish hamper is there a receipt in the box? Or can i just wrap the unopened box?

thank you

MaybeItsTimeForMeNow · 24/12/2024 13:50

Sorry for delay @Yalz I was out with the kids. Glad you found them, it is a bit sneaky. I only found them because I had the slippers I wanted in my basket which price dropped overnight! Snapped them up though.

Merry Christmas 🎁 ⛄

Dinosweetpea · 24/12/2024 15:47

I can't believe the converse arrived! 🥳 So happy.

ruralwanderer · 24/12/2024 15:50

Merry Christmas everyone 🎁 😊 🎄

Wholetthedogsoutwhowhowho · 24/12/2024 15:55

Merry Christmas everybody and a very big thank you to you all!
I've name changed over the years but always follow this thread very closely as everybody is so kind, helpful and I love the festive chat!

Wellwhoknewthat · 24/12/2024 16:25

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas.
For those still looking for bargains:
Pandora have up to 40% off (charms from £10)
Lindt have lots reduced

ruralwanderer · 24/12/2024 16:41

The Fat Face sale has started. Far too late for any Christmas bargains but ideal if you're buying for yourself or New Year birthdays.

running2 · 24/12/2024 16:51

My Converse have arrived too. Thanks for posting such a bargain!

Yalz · 24/12/2024 18:12

Thank you again to @MaybeItsTimeForMeNow for mentioning the M&S sale.
There are buttons to search just for sale now.

I may have gone back and made another order… Sone things are selling fast, though, including the better bargains.

Grassick · 24/12/2024 18:53

My converse arrived too, a present for me but unfortunately I went up a size as per the advice on the website and they are too big 🤣 luckily they fit my daughter.

Merry Christmas to you all, see you all next year 🎅🎄❤️
