Thread 6 - the one where things are getting organised

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.

Hope you're all well. I've just put in a big Temu order for stocking bits and bits for work. They gave me £8 off my next order yesterday as two orders I had are arriving late and, when I contacted customer services about something, they also gave me a 20% off voucher, so I saved £20 on my order!

It's gonna be huge isn't it? My 5 year old is obsessed! Interesting as Smyths is saying February!

Yes, I wasn't expecting any funko pops this side of Christmas! All were saying February, maybe January. So 🤞 they do turn up when they say.
But yes, we're obsessed here too, so jumped straight on that.

@VelvetThunder thanks so much for this! Amazon is saying April and Smyths February but my DS loves both Funko and Kpop DH so I've taken the chance and pre ordered 🤞 didn't want to miss the boat!

I keep looking at it thinking 🤔 is my youngest old enough for it. Then giving myself a shake as I've some my eldest has never bothered with and my youngest is pretty similar 🙈think I just like it myself lol

Yes, a link from the second sale earlier in the week. I am going to see if I can send them back there's a few pairs where the pin bit is at the side so they would sit weirdly too. Oh well, you win some and you lose some!

Theres a thread on here that a lovely mumsnetter has set up, SoMuchToBits. she has so much retro playmobil and makes little stories with them, it's so nice to read and see the scenes that she makes!

Seen the email now, I am terrible at missing emails!

I can get one for 15% off if that helps?

Thanks for the K-Pop funko tip. I also missed the email!

You can buy the entertainer gift cards through topcashback (I think it was 3.5%).
They also have some toys buy one get one half price - although they've put the price up on some items for this. But they do have some big clearance items included in this too, so could be a real bargain if you're already looking for these items. And some happyland.

My super second bits arrived and are lovely.

I can't find the post but I'm pretty sure someone had recommended in ear headphones for 8/9 year old.

Can anyone recommend some good ones please that are reasonably priced

That would be lovely, thank you so much

I'm thinking about getting Airpods for someone and spending about £150. I'm sure I know what the answer will be, but does Apple ever do any discounts?

Thank you to whoever originally recommended the Hug a Lump range. I got my DD a duck for her birthday which is today. She’s 11 & she absolutely loves it.

They sometime do on Black Friday.
Does it have to be Apple store? If you can find them in Argos there are discount codes and cash back options. Currys, AO might have discount codes as well

To whomever was looking for Owala, some Costco's have packs of 2 Owalas in at the moment for a bargain according to tiktok. I went to the Gateshead Costco on Thursday though and they didn't have any.

AirPods discounted on Very at the moment @ApiratesaysYarrr

Re AirPods, DH who is normally quite loyal to Apple, highly recommends these much cheaper alternatives https://amzn.eu/d/doM886L

@44PumpLanethey had them at Costco Trafford park last weekend so hopefully they will start to appear in more stores soon

It looks like they were £24 plus vat for 2 standard sized one, the video I watched showed a set of two pastels, a set with one bold pink and one olive green, and one with a blue and a cream.

I'll be popping back to Costco this week on the off chance!

For anyone looking for candles and wax melts I can recommend https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/EarthlyDelightsUK
In particular lemon sherbert or the snow fairy dupe!

I have the exact same issue with ds6 and lego lol, we've got loads of star wars including a millennium Falcon (bargain a few years ago) put away. Need to sell it really!

Thank you for the Quidco £10 off £50 mention. I've ordered RL Polo aftershave for a nephew, bath bits for DS, nail varnish for a friend and a mask for me for £50.00 and will get £10 back in quidco
