THE ONE WITH CHRISTMAS!

[Reastie]

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-dvd.co.uk
www.find-game.co.uk (as in PS4/xbox etc)

I got given the I am strong bracelet as a gift (been a tough year!) and it's one of my fave pressies. Lovely sale on this site

Cyberjammies have a sale on, including some colours of their hidden support vests with a discount of up to 50%. There’s a further 10% off if you subscribe to their newsletter, or (I saw this too late) 15% off for you and whoever referred you. The things I looked at were cheaper than at John Lewis. Free postage (your choice of Evri or Royal Mail) over £40.

Here’s the link for the Roka Lucky Dip which was mentioned earlier. They are much clearer than last year about exact what you might get in each lucky dip. Free postage over £60. There’s also a key workers discount of 20%, but when I applied it the free postage discount disappeared.

Too late to edit - free postage threshold for Roka is £50, not £60

What’s H&M code please

Does anyone have a Lucy & Yak referral code I could use please? (I have looked on the referrals thread and the one there has been used already)

TIA

Please could you pm me the referral code too? My daughter would be so pleased! Thank you ☺️

(edited for typo!)

Another one here with Outsmarted not working well. Very laggy and wasn’t as fun as we hoped it would be. Will give it another go later and see.

Claires have lots of £1 earrings on the website which also stacks with the buy 3 get 3 free. It includes lots of earrings packs so an amazing saving especially as some are usually £10+ each full price.

I did dd1 an earrings advent which she loved so got some ready to do the same next year! Plus some extras for her birthday and Halloween!

Also 5% cashback on topcashback 😊

Hey,

Could you forward me a code, please, if it's still available?

Also, any advice on sizing? I once ordered dungarees & they were mahoosive on me & went back!

Yes please could you pm me a code?

Hey 👋

Yeah no worries, I’ll pm you now.

I find their sizing a bit weird tbh 😂 the dungas I ordered before in a size 10 looked baggy on me so I ended up sending them back.

The jeans in a size 10 were a bit snug so ended up having to exchange for a 12.

Im in between a 10 and 12 normally depending on the brand. This time I’ve gone for a 12 in the jeans just incase and a 10 in the dungas as they look more fitted than the ones I ordered before

@PaddingtonTwinkles @marshmallowbum do you still need a code? PM me if so 😊

@Puffalicious @FiveLittleDucks have pm you both

Thanks, that gives me a bit of something to go on! 👍

If anyone is into alternative clothing like me 😂 then killstar have up to 80% off in their sale and you can get an extra 15% off when subscribing to their newsletter …. I’m eyeing up a few things even though my bank balance will not thank me!!

PM'd you 😊

Re: the sizing, I've ordered from them before. I have a pair of the corduroy dungarees, in size 14. I'm normally a size 12, but do have a bit of a belly sometimes, lol. so having the extra room works for me. (personally, I just love having no elastic/belt etc round my waist.)

They were mega comfy when I tried them on tbh I just found they were quite a generous size - the ones I ordered. I normally prefer dungas a fitted but with a bit of wiggle room so that might be why! 😊

Im tempted by their cream Borg fleece does anyone have one that can vouch for what they are like? I usually like super soft materials to wear as anything rigid annoys me 😂

Emma Ball has a sale of cards, homewear and so on.

Bargains include a china mug in a box reduced from £12:50 to £3.
They have lots of stationery including individual cards and bundles of cards.

Be warned, the site can be very slow.

Thanks so much!

Would be interested if possible please.

I also would love a Lucy and yak code if possible! 😊

Is there a sales bargains thread please?

I don’t think @Sideorderofchips starts them up until January, but I could be wrong.

Another one who would love the Lucy and yak referral code please? Thanks so much!

Also thanks from me!

For those of us who love dungarees Popsy have some in their sale. Sizing is usually one size lower than your normal high street size - so size 12 high street would need size 10 Popsy,
