The Christmas Bargain Thread No 2 - The one where it all went very fast

[RainbowZebraWarrior]

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.

bought a brand new oodie with tags for £9 from whatnot, never used the site before so wasn't sure what was going to turn up! but its perfect. They were selling all sizes and ages, sure they'll do another sale before xmas.

I thought of you when I read that there was an offer.....

@FirstCuppa are you a volunteer? I am, I love it!

Not sure how it compares, but this knockoff of the Hotwires

Electronics science kit is reduced to £21.38

Presumably less impressive, but it’s well reviewed if people like the idea but can’t afford the branded version (think I’ll get this one, since we have to get 2 of everything 🙄)

Thanks @Londonmummy66 🥰🥰 - I couldn't find the comment and wasnt sure whether it was on this thread or the one before

I tried but alas not working.

Mine isn't either!

Does anyone have a good idea for a nice thank you gift (for a 50yo woman) that's not food and not skin or fragrance related (asthma and eczema) - under the £15 mark?

Middle of Lidl had the ‘See Inside’ usbourne books for £4.99, Amazon current price is about £7. I think there was See Inside Your Body, How things work, and maybe Science. Now wishing I still had small people to buy them for, DS loved the body one when he was little!

Well my xmas shopping is going badly, out of date sticks of rock, cancelled boots order, cancelled biscuiteers order, and tonight I learn I paid full price for the m&s icon box when it's now 20% off!

Well, I've just started my Christmas shopping there! A jumper for my dad, a t-shirt for DH and 2 jumpers, a t-shirt and a beanie hat for me as a reward! Thank you @redjoker !!

A book or a plant i would get. Something like a succulent shouldn't be an issue for allergies should it?

I want to buy this potion kit so much but all the kids I buy for are too old.....may have to befriend a random! I miss buying presents for little kids, although I dont remember enjoying it much at the time!

Thanks! Both good ideas 💡

Slightly unhinged, but if she cooks for herself I love this Spoon holder crab

Does she garden/enjoy the outdoors? Gardening/gloves? Bucket of spring bulbs? Nice scarf?

A posh notebook, journalling kit, adult colouring set?

Voucher for local coffee shop? Day pass for local attraction? Thermal travel cup?

Tobios mini watercolour set has 47% off

I genuinely think that's the first time in 14 years of this thread that I've ever seen a gift described as 'slightly unhinged'

I vote The one with the slightly unhinged crab spoon holder for the next thread title.

My Biscuiteers tin also cancelled. 😢

DD jist got one for her birthday from her bff. Quietest she has ever been!

Argos toy sale is on. It includes some decent discounts on playmobil, some sets half price – I think someone was looking for playmobil earlier. Also quite a bit of Bluey and Hot Wheels stuff with decent discounts.

I want an unhinged crab

The Tobios set looks lovely - has anyone bought it, any feedback??

Dh bought me the spoon holder crab for Christmas last year. At first I was a bit sceptical that it would just languish in the utensils drawer unused for all eternity but actually we use it all the time! Spoon holder crab is an excellent gift.

I retract my unimaginative suggestions of book/plant, and i also vote for the unhinged spoon holder crab!

Just bought myself a crab 🦀

THNEW20 works on Tommy Hilfiger website for 20% off. It worked on sale items too.
