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.

Thanks @Thegirlhasnamechanged and @Dinomum24
I've just replied to the email, but I don't think that was clear at all!

I just replied to the email and said no thanks, please issue a refund. Already received it. I agree that they should’ve made mention in the email about how to get a refund though incase you don’t want to spend £20 on one biscuit

I replied to ask the number of grams the 9 biscuits would have been compared to the one 50g biscuit as I was annoyed by how they worded the email as if they were doing us a favour!

I’ve also asked for a refund ASAP and fed back that they shouldn’t really have taken the money before confirming they could deliver the product especially as I had picked a December delivery date…

Hi All. Not sure if previously mentioned, but I happened to check my M and S app today and saw that I had 20% off fashion, home and beauty. This includes 20% off the £30 beauty box that has already been mentioned on this thread and off Christmas decorations. I haven't had a good Sparks offer for several years so took full advantage!

IlovePond · 11/09/2025 17:59

Good grief @Motnight - for the first time in a year I have that offer too - thanks for mentioning it! (I have had the same pointless travel money thing for months 😾)

I can’t get it to work on the beauty box - am I trying the right one?

Same here with Biscuiteers - very disappointing.
However, just checked my sparks and had the 20% off so ordered the beauty box. Thanks OP!

IlovePond · 11/09/2025 18:09

That’s odd @SkinnyOatFlatWhiteForMePlease

Have you clicked to accept the Sparks offer?

It’s working for me when I add the bag, (not buying it - just a test).

Ooh - and TopCashback have an extra boosted % - mine was 4.25% cashback for orders over £60.

The 20% Sparks offer also works on school jumpers/skirts, so I won't bother picking up the order that's gone to store and will get a refund, and have reordered using this deal. Thanks @Motnight .

Yes, the icon is on literally everything but that one set 🙈.

Even tried the website instead of the app.

DS1 loves the Bunny vs Monkey books and Amazon have some 50% off, I just got him this one https://amzn.eu/d/clqv4yd

Thank you for this, I didn't realise there was a quiz book for that series now too.

Whilst scrolling through these books spotted this Beano book for less than £2 where it seems you chose how the story goes www.amazon.co.uk/Beano-Day-Teachers-Disappeared-illustrated/dp/0008615284

IlovePond · 11/09/2025 18:23

That’s annoying @SkinnyOatFlatWhiteForMePlease

Sometimes if I delete an app and reload, offers kick in, but the fact that it’s working for everything else is just weird.

It’s not working for me either. I have the 20% off on my card but not working on that set.

IlovePond · 11/09/2025 18:34

Also at M&S there is a GWP on EL which stacks with the 20% discount some people have on their Sparks card.

The free gift would make a nice standalone present.

I got that a few weeks back and we are reading it currently, DS1 is really enjoying it so I recommend! He is just turned 8.

OliverBabish · 11/09/2025 18:36

The M&S offer worked for me, thank you for pointing it out. I never check it anymore as I always get rubbish offers.

Pluto356 · 11/09/2025 18:37

I received my biscuiteers refund the day after I asked for it. I seemed to have had it cancelled early because I emailed asking to add another on 😂

RainbowZebraWarrior · 11/09/2025 18:38

@Daimyum mentioned that I use a seller on eBay for cashmere gloves. Here's the link. I can highly recommend her and would never go back to Turtle Doves now

Sorry, I’m another who can get the 20% Sparks discount on the M&S beauty box.

It works on sale prices, too. Unfortunately filtering by size isn’t working, so I keep clicking on things and finding they are out of stock of every size other than a 6, or of all sizes.

Oneborneverydecade · 11/09/2025 18:56

Should the Sparks 20% discount work across all furniture? I'm trying to order an accent chair.
For those of you that have been able to use it did it automatically apply at checkout? (So long as you accept it on the Sparks page)

FirstCuppa · 11/09/2025 18:58

Blimey, thread 2?! I'm slow off the mark this year.
I was looking for a Christmas thread as I got the Cinnamon catalogue through yesterday. Some stocking filler ideas and all for a good cause

These little gifts are the perfect way to say thank you!

mumofoneAloneandwell · 11/09/2025 19:23

Thank you to the lady who told me that m&s often do 20% off sales

They've got one that came on today and I have just paid out for my Hungarian goose down duvet 🥰🥰

Still super expensive but hopefully will be worth it

Yes, the icon is on literally everything but that one set 🙈.

That icon is a different offer. The 20% off for fashion home and beauty comes off in your basket.
