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)

Thanks @OrangeQualityStreetAreTheBest for the Celtic &Co code. I hadn’t bothered earlier in the year because I didn’t need anything, but my boots have started slipping so I think the insoles could be just the thing.

When I tried KXMAS24 it said it had expired, but NXMAS24 gave £25 off, so 2 pairs of insoles for £9.95 delivered.

Happy New Year 🥳
Tried both codes no joy anyone got another??

Onemoret1me · 01/01/2025 08:39

If you want fitness watch for kids I'd recommend the Garmin vivofit jr 3. Easy to setup and doesn't need to be charged

MaybeItsTimeForMeNow · 01/01/2025 09:30

Can anyone recommend a laser tape measure 😕

ItRainsItPours · 01/01/2025 10:35

Most smart phones have a laser tape measure app which is pretty good.
My dc wear a normal fibit, they are fairly petit anyway and you can get different strap lengths. We charge ours once a week and otherwise just take them off daily to wash.

IlovePond · 01/01/2025 11:50

@Slater22 - unfortunately those codes expired at midnight.

However, C&C often send good codes out with order parcels, so those people who ordered this week, may have codes to share soon.

Yeknom · 01/01/2025 12:25

@Onemoret1me definitely the Vivofit jnr 3!

Unrulyrabbit · 01/01/2025 13:55

Yeknom · 01/01/2025 12:25

I would echo this also

Just had my email from Terry's.

It wasn't a competition and I didn't enter anything.

It's strange how these massive companies (ie Bridal Beauty) don't take advice on how to word their offers.

Then they don't have enough to meet demand and have to disappoint customers. (Not in this instance as it was only chocolate).

I've just had the dreaded email as well :(

MulberryPeony · 01/01/2025 15:18

I saw the Marcus Aurelius book on another Christmas thread and it is reduced by 75% right now along with others so I’ll just link one book - all approx £3 https://amzn.eu/d/4CiTFLe there are also a couple of wealth ones so plenty of different interests covered.

IlovePond · 01/01/2025 15:31

Me and DH haven’t heard anything from Terry’s as yet. Did ANYONE get a free orange?

I am beginning to suspect not🙀

IVbumble · 01/01/2025 15:56

Didn't get a free Choc Orange but I did get the limited edition popping candy one in Asda for £1. Yum.

I haven't heard anything although I checked my emails and never got an email from them on the day I applied so not sure it went through even though it seemed to at the time. Hopefully means I won't get spammed by them either.

Bit annoying that no-one on here seems to have had any chocolate materialise though.

Arewesureitisntbedtime · 01/01/2025 16:07

I also got the no orange email - it went to my junk.

Wholetthedogsoutwhowhowho · 01/01/2025 16:31

No chocolate orange here either! Had the email this morning and have made sure to click the unsubscribe link at the bottom!

psuedocream3 · 01/01/2025 16:57

Happy new year all!

Has anyone seen any bargains on flowers for delivery?

And stocking fillers for all aged kids?

IlovePond · 01/01/2025 18:43

Just got the Terry’s email too and have also promptly unsubscribed.

I am not impressed!

CrochetMadRosie · 01/01/2025 18:48

I just had the 'sorry you didn't actually win a chocolate orange, even though we said that you did' email...

Not sure I need another chocolate orange in my life, but it’s annoying when you've been told you won one,
to be told they made a mistake!

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and thank you all for all the brilliant bargains.

DownWhichOfLate · 01/01/2025 19:01

Also got the email. Did anyone reply to it saying how disappointed they were?

One of our biggest hits was tattoo pens from Amazon, let me know if you need a link

I unsubscribed and it gave you the option to choose 'other reason' and type a reason, so I did that...

Carrie76 · 01/01/2025 21:01

Thanks so much to whoever recommended Outsmarted. It’s a big hit in our house and has been played 7 times already!
