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.

Does anyone have any ideas for ear buds that are noise cancelling? Do not want apple ones as expensive and I think they will get lost. Looking at £60 mark. Amazon have ones on offer but am not sure!

Yes this is the same as what’s happening with me 🫣

I don’t know what the best price was for outsmarted last year, however, I’ve just checked my emails and I ordered from amazon on the 13th of December for £19.99 if that helps

I do my mums shopping. Dniece has asked her for a puppycorn? Any ideas please of where to look. My youngest is almost 20 so I’m well out of touch!

Any suggestions for a small (£10?) gift for a 4 year old girl that I don’t know very well? I do know she likes colouring.

These Lego botanicals are 30% off

m&s currently has quite a big sale on, lots of things that might be useful like photo frames, mugs and candles are half price.

also if anyone hasn’t realised the new toniebox is out. The original one is currently on sale, so if you’re not bothered about all the features of the new one it could be a good time to buy, especially if you’re going second hand.

Please may I know, also?
thank you

For Jo Malone inspired candles I highly recommend Light and Love at Home. The fella who makes them worked for Jo Malone in Glasgow for many years then took a long time developing a genuinely great product at half the cost. Usually a decent Black Friday deal to be had too.

There’s some real Jo malone and diptyque candles on tkmaxx at the moment also Neom

Thank you just ordered one for my 7 year old dd she will love it x

The highland cow is very cute too! Also £5

That is a massive help, and good price, thank you so much for checking

My DD and her friends adored the Usborne sticker dolly dressing books around that age https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sticker-Dolly-Dressing-Rainbow-Unicorns/dp/1803707747

Anker are usually good value for money for things like this.

I'd agree most of them like those sticker books at that age (DD1 was the exception and would have preferred a stack of blank paper), and Amazon has some for £4-£5 at the moment.

DD2 was also given a wee drawing set, about A5 size that zips open to reveal felt tips, coloured pencils, gel pens, etc., and both she and DD1 really like it. A bit like this, but not this one: www.smiggle.co.uk/shop/en/smiggleuk/pals-junior-stationery-gift-pack-482273. I wouldn't be tempted by the huge A3 sized ones at a similar price point – when we've been given them, at least half the stuff is so cheap it barely works, crayons and coloured pencils that barely leave a mark, etc.

Rebel girls book 80% off. £4 for a hardback book Which would make a lovely gift. It’s suggested for 6-9 year olds

You can get them in Smyths, Argos and probably any supermarket with a decent toy section.

I've seen a lot on these threads over the years regarding cheapy Oodies on eBay that are likely genuine due to their prints, but does anyone know if there is anything out there for sleep tees? I see great reviews for the Oodie sleep tees and unfortunately I am getting to an age where a non-clingy, breathable nightwear option would be so welcomed. Plus I am sick of scrambling for shorts or joggers to wear in the morning after sleeping in just a t-shirt. Doesn't have to be Oodie, if anyone has any recommendations!

@Georgieporgie29
Was it https://magpie.gifts/ possibly?

@MiTu theres an oodie sale on at the moment. They still seem a lot of money though. Have you looked at M&S?

@skkyelark thanks!

I’ll post it here to save on spamming PM!s

Jist remove the space after Etsy. It’s the ‘Christmas Trio’ that have Jo Malone scents including Pear & Freezia and also some White Company ones too.

She also does other Jo Malone scents but not as candle options yet as she mostly does wax melts. FWIW, her Plum, Rose and Tonka Bean candle is amazing and definitely lasted way longer than the 9 hours she gave! It’s far nicer than Jo Malone’s pear and freezia

Do you know which ones she has already? We got DD one from Amazon because you could select which one it was whereas buying it in the shop we ran the risk of getting one she already had.

Thank you. I’ve no idea I’m afraid. Best thing then would be to get mum to try to find out and go for Amazon then.
