It's the return of the Christmas bargain thread - 1 - the one where it's the first one of the year

[Reastie]

This post is a work in process and if you have any links you’d like to share or would be good to add then please do let me know. The general consensus for the thread is to share any bargainous links, ideas and/or discount codes or information. No affiliate links (is that the right word?) And any referral links to the separate thread linked below. This is a warm, friendly, kind and cosy corner of mn filled with Christmas cookies and hot chocolate - let’s keep it that way!

If you have any referral links then please post on this thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5212180-bargain-referrals-thread-7 and share around the joy/referral perks.

have you tried Jacamo? Next and M&S also have tall sections I think

Charles Tyrwhitt have some of their England Rugby range in the sale - including a navy merino wool numbers. Great buy for Dad’s / husbands.

Next do long joggers, but the inside leg is 33inches - not sure if that's ok?

Boohooman also,in the link I sent the model is 6ft4

Anyone found very cheap football shirt / kit? I have been looking Here , but not sure of what is a man united one. It's only for my 2 year old nephew so it will get messed up so don't want to spend a lot.

DB is 6’4 and wears Nike joggers, as does 6’6” nephew - not a hint of an ankle on either of them

I cant remember who recommended it but my Abbott Lyon stuff arrived and it’s lovely. The ring is really cute. Great packing too!

this shop is shutting down and have big discounts on boozy drink stirrers ! Possibly good for adult stockings ?

@Wishingiwastracytutor i have just bought these! Have seen them before but definitely worth a go at that price!

Anyone know where to get cheap slippers? I need 3 children's (size 12-5) then 3 adults (7-11)

@ChristmasMad1 - have you tried Primark or George at Asda? Both good imo.

@Wishingiwastracytutor thanks - ordered some drinks stirrers

I second boohooman. My 6’5 teen has joggers from 2tall.com . Not bargainous at all, but a big range of fits and styles. Some decent cargoes too. They are very helpful if you are after something specific (fabric/fit) by email. Occasional offers/ discounts if you sign up to mailing.

For those with Korean-beauty obsessed teens, Boots has a good looking offer on a kit for £35 (promises to be worth £90-odd). I've bought it for my DD's birthday so will report back when it arrives.

Also, I know some people (probably rightly!) don't shop from it, but I've bought some great fake Jellycat stuff on AliExpress, cheap as chips.

Yeah unfortunately nothing in their sizes which the kids are into.

How did that work please? What do you need to do?

Benefit set £10 down from £44. It was out of stock this morning but I’ve just managed to buy two this afternoon so it’s worth keeping an eye on it if it goes out of stock again!

Thanks for this, I also just downloaded the app got 20% off my first order so it covered the postage and will get those freebies too. I ordered 2 make up bags with 4 minis for £10 each with discount I got both with delivery for £19.35

There was a thread a week or so ago where someone linked an Etsy store that did Jo Malone candles for about 1/4 of the cost.can anyone remember who the poster was or the shop? I keep searching but cant find it.

https://direct.asda.com/george/home/bedding/duvet-covers/painted-bows-easycare-duvet-set/GEM1313577,default,pd.html?cgid=D26M04G04C02 Nice pink bow bedding from Asda for £7 would be good for a teen girl or anyone with a pink bedroom

there is also a matching throw for £5

OMG thanks for the Benefit set and downloading app tips! I got two of those sets (teen girl heaven) and the free samples and shipping too.

I’ve just done this too, thank you!

Now I have bought these Benefit bag, you all need to stop being so good!!!

Does anyone have any great ideas for men gifts?
My husband doesn't drink. His hobby is fishing - and he has everything.
Not terribly interested in clothes and has loads of toiletries.
I have done 'experiences'

What does that leave???

If you have the freeprints app you can get a customised photo keyring for just £3.99 postage. Might be a nice extra top up gift for those hard to buy for folk

Thank you for this - really nice gift for teen dd!
