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!

Thank you. Ordered the ghost & Ariana pink cloud perfume. I quite fancy the pink cloud for myself as her perfumes are meant to be really nice & last quite a while but I expect I’ll end up giving it to my 11yo niece.

I don't actually know what they smell like but have had other Ghost perfumes and they were nice

Some £19 kids oodies on the website including this Mickey Mouse Xmas one there’s plenty of other designs too

@Lifeisforliving2025i would say good for a teenager. They all smell nice. I just showed a pic of this set to my 14 year old and she seemed quite impressed with it.

Barbie bedroom play set reduced to £17.99; I’ve ordered so can feedback if anyone wants to know if it’s any good

https://thefabulousfleececompany.co.uk/ sadly has a closing down sale - really good prices on gifting friendly stuff like kids ugg style booties and mittens and on adults mittens and gloves, plus good prices on homewares if you happen to want a cow or sheepskin (or a hot water bottle!)

Bohomoon have a sale on and a free bracelet for spends over £40. Not sure how it compares to other sales they have during the year as first time customer. I like that the bracelets come in different lengths so I have got for a couple of pre teen relatives with little wrists.

LANEIGE Mini Lip Glowy Balm Set comes down to £18.17 with code 'FLASH'. These are very popular and I think this is a good deal considering the set is worth £35 :)

Not sure if this will work as it was emailed to me , but looks fairly generic HAPPY10 gives £10 of a £25 spend , Claire’s has buy 3 get 3 free on most things at the moment , I checked my Claire’s club account and had £10 in there as well , which all stacks .

Books - 20% off your next order from the Virago Store. Enter VIRAGO-READER at checkout for your discount.

Still not mega cheap but some beautiful looking books and quality publishers.

Does anyone know if there’s any way to get a discount from Thomas Sabo? I’d love to buy dd the Haribo earrings and necklace (white bear on silver) for a special occasion coming up but they are over budget.
There are other stockists but not of the white.

I have the ten pound new customer discount but could do with a bit more saving if there’s any way. If not I’ll just go for one or the other but thought it was worth asking!

Thank

Brilliant. Thank you for that 😊

Halfords have up to 20% off Autoglym & Meguiars car cleaning products. Got some bits for DH's stocking like these bird poo wipes for £6.39. Free click and collect.

Thanks for this! Amazon also have at the same price if you can't get out to a store and need delivery.

Lots of funko pops on offer. Stitch, Minions, Sonic, friends characters. Some good deals

Thanks for this. The perfect joke (but useful) Father’s Day present for DH from the kids.

Some Christmas bits hanging around still on the next clearance sale, including pjs.

Gutted it didn’t work for me 😢 thank you for sharing though x

I have a lot going on at the moment so haven’t been on the thread at all but got these Argos codes in an email and I know I won’t use them. Hopefully they are not account specific and can be of use to someone.

This year has completely gotten away from me but I just haven’t found many bargains to share!
I saw this Crimpit offer & remember how popular it was on here in past years. It’s free with £4.99 postage but then you can add other items to the offer. I’ve just added a wrap sealer & it cost less than £14 for both posted

Was looking for Father's Day gifts and came across these:

https://www.huskicoolers.co.uk/

Obviously haven't tried them myself yet but the beer coolers seem to have really good reviews on amazing & Google and they have 10% off with code CHEERSDAD

hopefully of use to someone else too!

These are fantastic I’ve bought a few for gifts (and one for myself!) and all been well received and well used

Thank you for the crimpit link. I've finally taken the plunge.

Do you have to use sandwich thins or does ordinary bread work in these too (like a medium sliced loaf)? Thanks

@tabbycat985ive resisted the crimpit previously but got one each as stocking fillers for my 2 girls this year. Thank you!

also my Ghost perfume set arrived from boots today and it looks a great gift
