Thread 8 - the one with all the pillow talk

[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.

It's nearly time! November is tomorrow and Mariah Carey will be officially announcing the start of festivities . Hope you're all well and just wanted to give you all a massive thank you so sharing these wonderful ideas and codes etc. It helps me SO MUCH. I know I don't post much on here (various things going on) but I appreciate this warm place of mn so much.

@mummyof2boys30 I’m also looking. Have seen these at Tesco and The Range but didn’t like them enough to buy.

It’s cheaper on eBay and there’s a money off code too . Unfortunately doesn’t ship to Northern Ireland.

The Entertainer has an extra 20% off certain toys until Weds. Worth a trawl through, I have just ordered a couple of things for under £10.

Don’t forget to use cash back sites even for eBay

Oh amazing! Thanks for this. I was debating ordering it on Amazon for DS but this works out £10 cheaper with the eBay discount 😀

@Crochetandtea thanks again for highlighting the Lynx offer on eBay! Decided to order two in the end and it gave me a further discount in basket on top of the 20% off so managed to get two for £50.90 with free delivery and went through voucher codes so if that tracks I’ll also get a £5 grocery voucher as a reward! 🥰

Now I’ve ordered the Lynx advent calendars for my boys, can anyone recommend an advent calendar at a similar sort of price for DD who is 8? She loves bath products especially bath bombs and is just getting into skincare!

Snackles Penguin Baskin Robbin £5 (also monkey & shrimp)

Hamleys Giraffe plush (14in) £11.40

National Geographic Sensory Science Kit £8 (20% off)

Clearance toys at The Toy Shop

ELC Extra 20% off toys
Offer valid from Thursday 30th October 2025 at 0:00 to Wednesday 5th November at 23:59.

I am putting personalised glasses cleaning clothes in for the adults. Thought those that don’t wear glasses can use them on sunglasses.

In my crackers I have put in mini hand creams, I got a pack of 3 Cath Kidston half price in Sainsbury’s and split them, also got a pack of 3 mini Bailey dupes from Aldi last year. For the men I put in a spirit level key ring, key rings with mini torches and for my then 6 year old son I got him a back scratcher.

Thanks. I got the lynx calendar for £26 odd via eBay.

Morning has anyone seen the lego marvel spiderman for a good price? The cheapest I've seen it is for 29 at the moment.

If he likes Dinosaurs look at Jurassic Micro adventure x

I’ll have a look. Thank you ☺️

The Elemis bundle offer is back on QVC!

I love their Santa sacks! I've bought a couple as gifts

This is very tempting although I ordered the last one and have only just started using it.

There is £10 off for new customers with a referral link too, mine is on the referral thread and there may be others too:

Ah so sorry, I have just re read my message and realised id missed out the advent calendar part! Im on a very early an train with poor WiFi and juddering about. It's the spiderman lego advent calendar im on the hunt for, thank you though xx

I got one for £25 on Amazon prime day in July. My son will be nearly three when he gets it for Christmas, I’m hoping he’ll love it.

I got one for my daughters 2nd birthday. It's played with everyday! At the moment it gets used as a shop with the ice cream scoop being a scanner.

Choc on choc do various chocolate related kits that are quite nice. Chocolates nice too

Thank you for this. My daughter has just expressed an interest in riding and is going to an ecofarm as part of her education so I've just bought her a couple of pairs and some for myself 🙂
