Christmas Bargain Prequel Thread 1 - welcome 2025

[Sideorderofchips]

Evening all!

Welcome to the first prequel thread of 2025

These tend to run slower than the run up to Christmas ones but doesn't mean there are no bargains!

Happy Christmas Bargain Shopping!

easter deals from my emails;

TK Maxx have a load of easter deals online

Yvonne Ellen has 3 for 2 on a mix of things

Dibor have 15% off easter stuff and a spring sale

Maqio have a free bunny with £50 spend

Lakeland have money off nearly everything in their easter section

Lights for Fun have an easter sale

and Patisserie Valerie have free delivery on easter cakes with code EARLYBIRD

Not sure if it's just my local store, but Sainsbury's have these 190g Lindt milk chocolate sharing bars at £1.88 each, down from £3.75. They'd be great for anyone looking for an alternative to an Easter egg, or even for an early stocking filler for Christmas - the ones I saw were all dated April 2026!

Hi, just to say that ohhdeer have a mystery bundle sale on (plus sales on other bits) that seems pretty good. Especially if you are thinking of making a stationary advent calendar for someone. I’ve got a few things from them before that have been great and really liked by the people I gifted them to.

20% off Malin+Goetz lovely brand can fully recommend

Miniso have a decent sale on Hello Kitty merchandise, Bento boxes and other Japanese influenced toys and homeware at the moment plus 10% off with the code HELLO.

Hi folks. Not really a Christmas bargain I know, but I am looking for a National Art Pass offer - they used to have 3 months for £10 but you might need a referral - anyone by any chance a member and would be happy to refer me? Thanks very much indeed?

@beccarooney you don't need a referral. (if you are a student though, it's only £10 for the year)

Thanks for the beetr00 - was hoping to just get one for 3 months for £10 rather than £62 for the whole year - can't see that on the link?

Roka has a 20% off sale on some items. This is the company which does a lucky dip after Christmas where bags and accessories are sold at a very good price, but you can’t choose which you’re getting.

They are also offering 50% off a limited number of things if you find an Easter egg on its listing. However, a kind person on the Facebook group has listed the relevant items, and it’s just Hatfield hats, Jubilee hipbags and a couple of black Paddingtons.

There’s a suggestion in the Facebook group that the items with 50% off might change every day.

The kitchenaid kitchen shears are back down to £6.66 again for anyone who still doesn't have any (usual price £12.99) Can highly recommend.

Also, isle of skye candle company has 40% off its raspberry and white ginger range. I have a referral code on the referral thread which takes an extra £5 off and it's free delivery on all orders. Again, highly recommend them.

Can anyone recommend a garden wildlife trail camera please? I'm going round in circles looking at them.

This Paddington is £19.95 before the 50% off Easter Egg, so £9.98 today, but shipping is £5.
It says free shipping over £70, but applied it at £65 in my theoretical shopping bag. If you have 7 people to give them to that would work…

Edit - tried again, as an exercise, and free shipping was all over the place but settled at 8 bags, and no, I haven’t bought anything.

Evening all, would anyone with a Student Beans account possibly be able to generate me a discount code for Koi Footwear? I’d appreciate it.

Argos code for whoever wants it:

£5 OFF £30 - AF44T7BUXZNT

Morrisons have some Easter stuff reduced. This plate , bowl and cup set was £1. Had a craft set in a case/box for £1, large wooden ‘please stop here’ sign £1, a big egg filled with about 20 smaller eggs suitable for an egg hunt £1, stencils £1 and a couple of other bits

40% off lots of stock at White Fox at the moment link to WF

Roka has added more to its “Easter Eggs” or half price sale. It now includes some rucksacks and barrel bags.

Either use my link or search for “egg” and it brings them up.

Eurgh! I just succumbed after ignoring the previous posts!

Hi,

If anyone is near the Whistlefish shops in Looe/Padstow, I just picked up three packs of 6 ‘lucky dip’ cards for £9, (£3 each). I only got one ‘complete dud’, (I have no use for a rugby ball shaped card 😹), but on the whole I am very pleased.

My packs were mostly flowery birthday cards, with a couple of general purpose ones pretty enough to frame, a Valentine’s card and a good luck one.

I don’t know if this deal is available online.

Re: Whistlefish ‘lucky dip’ packs

Just to say, in case it might upset anyone: You could end up with a Mother/Father/Daughter/Son or a sympathy card amidst the birthday/blank ones.

Whilst mentioning Whistlefish, they have an offer this weekend for

£25 for 20 cards, 3 gift wrap, gift tags and a tin

whistlefish.com/?utm_source=Newsletter%20Master%20List%20-%20last%20cleaned%20on%2016th%20April%202025&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=17%2F04%2F2025%20-%20Easter%20Bundle%20%2801JS1MWWRYN7S48TPGS3BYZWV9%29&_kx=hCuykhE-CT6JpXRCKJ5ZFTfDG_Id2docAhQuAZR325U.SutD5d

Sorry, don't know why the clicks link would post for me this time

@indreamland thanks for the heads up. 4.2% on topcashback too 🙂

I've got a £6 off £60 spend code for Argos which expires today if anyone wants it
