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.

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!

I missed the prime day 70% haul, does anyone think Haul will do another sale before Xmas?

I hope you got a good price for the caravan!
Mine love playmobil, and caravans (we have the campervan). Just looked it up and its very pricey now!

I managed to pick up the caravan and car for £5 at a car boot last year with all the pieces I’ve never been so excited

I bought some items from sunshine lane in the super seconds sale, just placed another order with them as they still have lots in their sale! I I got a mug and card for £3 including free shipping using the code in the confirmation attached!

would highly recommend, the owner is lovely!

Sorry, not a Christmas bargain at all, more a tale of woe!
Last night my DD19 asked where her brand new show jacket had gone from the table as she was taking her horse showing today. I immediately realised the box that od taken to work to bin that had been collected on Tuesday contained said jacket 😩. I'd misunderstood when she told me she had some rubbish to dispose of, first time ever taking rubbish to work too 🤦‍♀️.
Now £200 down as I ordered her a new one to replace it, so looking forward to saving some money on Christmas presents now even more now

Oh no! If it helps I keep getting emails from Harry Hall about sales!

It was on one of the previous threads. The offer they were doing has ended but they’ve got 25% off their glass candles which come in the same scents with code AMBER25 https://pintailcandles.co.uk/products/log-fire-glass-candle

Pintail Candles are great, but they’re very overpriced! They might be dupes but they’re expensive dupes - the Small Business Supports thread has a bunch of candle/wax melt recommendations that give you more product for a fraction of the price (just to flag for those people who really can’t afford to be shelling out £20 for a candle you can get elsewhere for £10!)

Do you have a link for the small buisness thread please 🙏

FurForksSake · 11/10/2025 18:18

@AberforthDumbledoresGoat can you give me a link to that thread, I can’t find it!

Well I fell in love with some trainers whilst real life shopping today, they were reduced to 75 quid but I just couldn't justify it.

However, I have just found them online for 45 quid and I could justify that:)

SEVENSTORE have 25% off footwear with the code 25OFF and that worked for me on trainers that are already reduced. They are on cashback sites too.

Sale | Men's Clothing & Footwear | SEVENSTORE

Don't fight in the shops or wait outside for a sale, grab tees from Casablanca, hoodies from ERL, and more from SEVENSTORE today.

@SpottyBumPony thankyou 😊. It was the new Aztec Diamond cherry one so I reordered it last night. Tbh I was going to order it for Christmas anyway but she'd already got it on release day. I'm telling myself that doesn't mean I've lost any money!
She still managed a 4th place in her dressage test despite the stress so that's good.

Definitely! If you can hold out for a few weeks until Black Friday I’m sure it’ll be 70% off again

My 3 for 2 Solace jewellery earrings came today. They were in beautiful little fabric pouches even though I didn’t opt for the gift wrapping. I’d bought 2 for DM and kept a pair for myself.

I bought the flat backs and I will say that they are very small. I’m not sure if DM is going to be able to put them in as they are tiny and require screwing in the backs. It took me about 10 mins to get mine in on one side. Just a word of warning if buying for someone with dexterity/arm/steady hand issues.

They're small, but Iincredibly comfortable - so big thank you to the poster for the recommendation!

Just a tip: when screwing them in, you can actually screw either the front or the back! I initially found the left ear really tricky until I realised that (couldn't get my dominant right hand at the right angle behind the ear) but now I can do it no problem by screwing it in from the front.

Went shopping IRL today. Primark had a lot of Christmas stuff and some lovely kids and adults Christmas pyjamas. I got some lovely Christmas kids ones for £5 :)

The one I got was £6 hence my gratitude to PP who flagged the original deal (which has sadly now ended)

Cos1970 · 11/10/2025 19:05

I think someone on a previous thread asked about Book Nooks, I was in Menkind today and they had some in store. They’re £40 so not sure if that’s a bargain or not.

My free wax melts just arrived from veesna aromatherapy! Packaged beautifully and super strong smelling - could smell them through the packaging box! Very happy 😃

Just tried mine tonight and disappointed, I did buy a second scent so will test that but so far I wont be purchasing more

FredaFox · 11/10/2025 19:19

BananaWoman999 · 11/10/2025 14:42

I missed all the heated throws and now need one 🙈. Any bargains at the moment that anyone knows of?

Same. My existing one died this week. I use it while working so would love a deal!

Has anyone got any Whistlefish discount codes? Thanks

I tried mine last night and while they smelt amazing in the box/packaging I couldn’t really smell them when I was using them either!

I can send you a referral for £5 off your first order?

JD have got an extra 20% off sale items
on their app. Just got a netherlands football top for my dd reduced to £15.99 inc postage. Loads of stuff on there.

HeatingFiddler · 11/10/2025 19:34

@hugsandpugs @FredaFox I linked an Etsy seller on the SBS thread - she's excellent.😊Someone else bought from her recently and recommended her as well on the 'Make My House Smell Like Christmas' thread.

She does Jo Malone and White Co. dupes (candles and wax melts) that are quite cheap so definitely worth checking out as PP advised! Honestly I cannot recommend her enough as she also does Mix N' Match orders so you can pick multiple scents to have in the same box.

No free samples, I'm afraid. But one of her wax-melts gave me over ten hours of scent😍

Hedjwitch · 11/10/2025 19:52

Wax melts make me very wheezy so I prefer candles and always recommend Isle of Skye candles. Been buying them for years and adult dcs say it wouldn't be Christmas without one.

imnottoofussed · 11/10/2025 19:56

Tkmaxx has some oodies online today pink corgi, blue moose, green alsatian £16.99 in the today’s new in section. They don’t seem to come up if you search
