Thread 5 - the one where it's OCTOBER already!

[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.

thanks for the pintail candles tip - I went to order some for gifts but ended up ordering for myself 😆. I’ve got to quality check my gifts after all! shame some of the Christmas scents are already sold out but they do have some lovely gift sets in those Christmas cottages which I’ll be keeping an eye on - they look lush.

also - in case anyone else is tempted to indulge, I spotted that you can get £5 off with a referral code so now that I have a referral link, I’ll add it to the referrals board. I don’t know if it will stack with the discount code but it’s worth a try.

I bought from there yesterday, too. They had several silver and diamanté chandelier earrings for £1:50 each, which I resisted 🙂Here’s a link. I paid by PayPal, just to be safe.

A couple of years ago I bought some small stud earrings from here, and I wear them several times a week, they are my default ones, and have probably cost me less than 1p per day of wear. The seller offers free postage for £30+ orders: add the code SUPERSECONDS to your order for a free pair of earrings.

Belatedly I’ve realised that I was not clear enough. If you’d like to look at what’s in the Superseconds sale this weekend, click here. That page has all the names of the makers taking part. If you find one you’re interested in, click on their name, and then “Go to shop” The sale continues tomorrow, some sellers keep theirs running all week.

And - there are always discussions that individuals aren't going to have an interest in. I shan’t be buying a degusta (sp?) advent calendar or anything from Ulster Weavers, for example, but I just skim these posts and focus on the ones that are relevant to me. We can’t start policing what others are interested in.

I must have missed this what is the candles offer? Thanks 😊

Yes they have some lovely designs
We are only doing small token gifts this year so they will be perfect for both my sil’s and one for my mil and one of my friends

@CarrotVan had posted about 50% off classic candles on the Pintail website with the code on the homepage.

i posted a referral code on the other board but I don’t know if it will stack. Worth a try I guess!

@YalzI can’t get the SUPERSECONDS code to work on the earrings. Do you know if there’s a minimum spend?

Just got an assortment of Christmas cards and lots of greeting cards for next year for my mum and I. JOIN20 on my husband’s email address got a further 20% off as a new customer. 70 cards for £40.39!!!!

The Sherpa dressing gown I want for dd is down to 52.50 on oodie site. Do I hold off for better?

And would appreciate Cyberjammies advice. D mum buys everyone nice pjs but was just wondering about sizing. Dd is a 10 in Chelsea peers. Would they be similar? And does anyone know of any discounts. She would love the panda pair!

Thank you

These are worth a look! Just ordered some notebooks £1 each some xmas cards 50p each and 2 lots of xmas gift wrap £1.20 for 3 sheets!

Free delivery using the code SUPERSECONDS

I managed to get 2 notebooks 2 cards and 6 sheets of gift wrap for just over £5 delivered

Really enjoyed the super seconds site. Got some earrings and a couple of mugs so thanks!

I’m finding the super seconds site overwhelming for some reason 😅

Really enjoying the recommendations though. Just bought a couple of lovely notebooks and some wrapping paper from the Sunshine Bindery thanks to @hugsandpugs

It wasn’t automatic. If I remember correctly it was the screen where you put your address details in and you have to click down on the order summary at the top to add the code

thank you for highlighting the scarves and tote bags. Ive got 2 scarves and a tote bag. Also 4 notebooks. Very pleased with free delivery. Now to look at mugs.

Thanks for the wonderbly code, I’ve ordered what looks like a beautiful book for Dd who is absolutely family and Christmas obsessed!

Re: teen boys aftershaves. I brought a couple from Zara after seeing them recommended numerous times and ds 14 has loved wearing them. He’s now just run out and has asked for more for his birthday later this month. Excellent timing!

We’ve got knock off Amazon ones and they have been just as successful.

In bed with dd
About to watch Love Actually 😍🎄

Sorry to bring the chat back to Temu but there’s a lot of books on there that are sold by UK companies. Books2door and Shazam books are both on there which are UK companies. I’ve just bought some lovely ones and was able to use my discount code!

You have remembered it’s a bit risqué in places???

Will ff through those scenes! 😄😄, she isnt watching anyway, shes got Octonaughts on the tablet

Can I ask what the discount code is please? Thanks

It was just on my account. It was £10 off orders over £10.01 if you go on the coupon section they should be on there!

The DK birds anthology book mentioned, I think, in the last thread has just been delivered and it is such a beautiful book.
It was £6.99 when on offer

Thanks @Yalz - small world indeed! I would have used PP but that particular seller didn’t seem to have that as an option. But fingers crossed her site is secure🙀

I tried to order the Xander K sparkly chandelier earrings and PP was available, but then the payment page disappeared and wouldn’t return so I gave up. I might try again in a minute.

Also eyeing up some lambswool cowls on another site, (although I do NOT need any of those either), and the little leather bags at Loch Ness leather, (ditto!)

I sent a link to some other jewellery to DH as a Xmas hint, but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

Btw: I just remembered that I ordered from Kodes during the SUPERSECONDS sale last year and the little glasses chain that doubles up as a necklace I bought was very cute. (I must actually start using it!)

White Stuff £15 off £45 spend with code LNTZZ9UK9 (not account-specific)

Thanks @hugsandpugs I got some lovely cards and wrapping paper, I love free delivery!

I went RL shopping today and in Sports Direct they had a massive table with reduced Christmas stuff on it. I only saw when I was in the queue but managed to get this christmas duvet for a fiver for DS2 who is in a single bed for the first time this year! Worth a look if you have one nearby.
