Posting on behalf of @Reastie as I'm guessing she's busy and the last thread was almost full.

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 <a class="break-all" href="https://_[[//https//www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5212180-bargain-referrals-thread-7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5212180-bargain-referrals-thread-7 and share around the joy/referral perks.

I need 8 of the same gift - budget around a fiver each - for my team at work. Like the idea of something a bit unusual. All women in 40s and 50s.
So far all I can think of is an initial mug with a hot chocolate sachet.
Any ideas gratefully received!

GRCP · 09/09/2025 19:58

Oh also a Japanese snack box which isn’t a subscription if anyone has any pointers? Thank you!

What was your delivery date? I selected 1st December so I’m hoping they will have forgotten by then 😂
I imagine someone in their team has had a bad day today!

Mine was 6th December. They offered me something else with a bit of a discount but it definitely wasn’t as good!

GRCP, I might go for a little tin of mints like this:
https://www.royalcollectionshop.co.uk/tin-of-mints.html#277=420

I don't think most people need more mugs, coasters, candles etc so I think I would go for something consumable, maybe just a nice chocolate bar or bag of caramelised nuts (assuming no allergies)

hugsandpugs · 09/09/2025 20:16

Adults Minnie Mouse oodie down from £75 to £25! 🥰

They also have an inside out 2 one for the same price

@BadgerFace I ordered the degusta calendar on 18th Aug at £33.99 this year . It’s unlikely to drop to much less , however one year I think it was groupon that had a cheap late offer on it , but it was vey borderline in terms of delivery . I think mine had arrived at the start of November and I think the groupon ones arrived just in time for Dec 1st or maybe a day or two late .

Actually just checked and groupon already have it at the normal price , but you may possibly have a code that works for them , so not sure if they will reduce it later either .

Does the Degusta box drop in price nearer to Xmas can anyone remember? I bought it a few years ago and said never again after the gravy mayonnaise day but am now tempted again…!

I looked back at my Degusta account, turns out I have ordered it every year since 2022 and this is the cheapest pre order price I’ve seen! We love a Degusta advent calendar in this house and it is totally ENORMOUS.

@Emarosa my nephew loves his Barbie ambulance. Not sure how bargainous it is at the moment, but if he isn’t too rough then it should be ok?

My husband bought his team a classic penguin book, and tea bag (posh one) and a bar of chocolate. Or a Christmas decoration each?

Wooo hoo we are back!

This is currently £13 at checkout and makes a great gift, the candle heats instead of being burnt, much safer and less soot, I love mine!

it looks lovely but does it actually get hot enough to melt the candle?

Bit of a random one, but I want to give everyone in my team a bottle of olive oil. Grateful if anyone could let me know if they spot any (ideally nice looking) bottles/cans of olive oil that seem like good value!

Not a cheap one but (adult) DD has asked for some Dyson straighteners. Boots have £150 off at the moment which is the cheapest I can find which aren’t refurbished. If anyone else is looking for these.

@beetr00those soaps are mega cute

TheWeeDonkeyFella · 09/09/2025 21:08

@GRCP M&S have a large range of tree decorations at a fiver, everything from a martini glass, dogs and cats, to a leopard print mule or a mini snowglobe initial. Might be fun to browse through and see if you can match something to each of their personality or interests.

Im a bit late to the thread so haven’t read it all but looking forward to catching up.
Space Nk has a free gift (worth over £300) if you spend over £175. I’m going to split it up, and either put together an advent calendar for my daughter, or to use for multiple presents.

@searchforthesun I'm being dim - but cannot for the life of me find this deal. Do you have a link??

I think the Gift With Purchase ended yesterday when the SNK Advent dropped.
