Thread 7 - the one where I was going through your kink

[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.

My 11yr old has put an art set on his list, but instead of one with paints and brushes, he would like one aimed at drawing. I found one on Hobbycraft, but didn't know if anyone that might be quite knowledgeable of these things might have one they can suggest?

I purchased this set earlier in the year, it's already a good price but there's currently a 10% voucher taking it down to £32.40. Or you could put a best offer in....I paid £29 for mine (same seller). It was pristine condition - no damage to the box or anything.

It's a very impressively sized box too so looks like a big, "wow" present!

@Lidlisthebusiness

This looks like a decent set

@Ooopsyididitthank you - can I ask what may be a silly question - with mini brands, do they still get to “make” the food - or is it just prop/mini packets? I hope that makes sense!

Not Christmasy I appreciate, although I'm poor from Christmas shopping! I need to send a new home gift, any (barganious) recommendations? Any good flower discounts knocking around, or other suggestions much appreciated.

Hibby Craft have some discounts at the moment. Worth a look as they often have good sets for stockings.

@IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile

How about something from Ototo?

This Christmas gaming hoodie is in the Next clearance for a really good price, limited sizes but thought it worth posting here

No mini brands are just miniature versions of iconic packaging, no making involved. My kids like both.

Bargainmax have a couple of Miniverse sets, I’ve bought this plant one for dd 12yo and her 11yo cousin which looks good.

Its more props and cute things, my younger dd puts them in her doll house, older one displays them lol. But no making the desserts etc unfortunately. Just cute to look at.

If by any chance you collect Tesco clubcard points you can spend them on Bloom and Wild. I’ve always found them very good.

@DressOrSkirtwhat’s disturbia sizing like. I’ve seen a few things but begrudge the return postage if they don’t fit

The 40% off White Fox is live now for 6 hours

CODE IS BDAY40

Don’t know if I hallucinated that the Kodak instant print camera was cheaper to buy film for but there’s one with film for £85 at the moment

Kodak mini shot 2

Ive not checked around to see how this compares, just saw it mentioned on a bargain page

Thank you @Fairyliz - I didn’t actually know this! @IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile you’ll find lots of referral codes for Bloom & Wild on the referrals board to get £10 off a £30 spend, and you should be able to stack this with using Tesco vouchers as a form of payment so that should get you a great deal that way.

I would say they are true to size but for a flat figure. I have an hourglass figure so their swimwear didn't suit me as to fit my bust/hips the underbust and waistband were enormous on me.

I buy my normal size (or a size up depending on style) in dresses and add a belt/harness to bring the waist in.

I buy my normal size in skirts but wouldn't choose anything fitted from them as would have to size up for hips and then the waist wouldn't fit.

And for their tops, depending on style, I would buy my normal size or size down if I know there will be stretch (I think all the tops I have from them have shirring at the back).

Someone in the previous thread was looking for Sponge Bob items. I saw these today in Superdrug.

Thanks dress. I have an overweight hourglass so will
size ip and take in as needed

Looking for a toy car garage for my 3yr old. Saw one on Early Learning Centre which was pricy, but yesterday it was half price so ordered it - today they've cancelled the order and refunded me due to low stock😟gutted as thought it was a win!

Anyone have any recs for good wooden toy car garages?

thank you very much @fishfingersandchipsagain

@MintRobin would something like this work ? It's not a personal recommendation just one I've seen when browsing

Garage

Would definitely look on Facebook marketplace it’s the sort of thing that comes up a lot near me

Not sure if this is still on as it was posted 2 days ago (see pic) but they do have some heated throws etc currently reduced on their website
