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.

Is there anything on this list which might do? Maybe the Mad Beauty Stitch one which is £25 at Super drug

@hugsandpugs The best advent calendar my DD had around that age was a bubbletea cosmetics one, it was all bath bombs, bath soaps, hand cream and alike. This years is £59 with an extra 17% off on their website but they have heavy discounts for Black Friday and I even bought it half price online from Ocado one year, so if you like it you can stalk it until the price is right.

Thank you! She would love that I think. Just noticed it’s currently £33.75 at Argos so wondering whether to get it now or wait 🤪

Thanks for this I think there’s a few here she would like! She’s Sephora mad atm but that one is a bit pricey so I’ll have a look through the others 🥰

The Elemis Christmas special went live today on QVC- great value at £70 and can be split into other gifts.

My daughter has asked for a Des-Vu hoodie. £58
any ideas on how to get a discount? I’ve not heard of this brand before

Any sockshop codes about?
Especially for the lounge wear

I'm so behind this year, despite following the threads. I think I'm looking for a graphics tablet, is an iPad best? We do have a PC, would something for that be better? It's for a tween, various disabilities, they haven't asked for this, I just think it may be a good idea

Hello and thanks for the new thread!
Damart have 22.5% OFF & FREE DELIVERY with code 29387*
This is just off full price stuff but a good saving. They also have a sale section with some Xmas home stuff in. And they are on topcashback

Lounge20 makes the loungewear 2 for £20 and you can stack with 10% SOCKNEWS10- also don't ignore the banner if you trigger the free gift.

Their boxers are 14.99 on their site but 12.99 in TK Maxx.

QVC Elemis deals are live. The 5 piece bundle for £69 - this is excellent value, I always buy a couple. They have a men’s 3 piece bundle for £45 and supersize cleansing balm for £64
They have some other great offers on there too.

Heres a link for my referral code if anyone is a new customer and wants it - you get £10 credit.
QVC referral code

@hby9628 they rarely do discounts. In fact their merchandise can be difficult to get hold of.
you need to sign up to the website and then they do timed “drops” which sell out quickly. Hope that helps 😊

I keep trying the referral code and it keeps saying it's invalid - possibly not able to use it on the Elemis sets? I was paying in one go, and not in instalments as I know the £10 off code doesn't work if you pay monthly.

Galt animal sixes game down to £4 with extra20 code on the entertainer. Seems to be £10 elsewhere https://www.thetoyshop.com/games/childrens-games/Galt-Animal-Sixes-Game/p/574955

Thankyou SO MUCH for this @TheBigBagBabes ! My mam loves Elemis and I have been stumped what to get her for Xmas. She will be delighted!

Edited to tag in the BBB as I hadn't realised she was the original poster of this

@Hunnybadger1 i got the good girl perfume 50ml, plus the 10ml travel spray, plus a body wash in the lookfantastic Black Friday offers last year (they had 20% off gift sets which stacked with a first time app order) I think this brought it down to £75 the whole set but it’s so pricey!

Thanks so much for the Elemis deal. I also can’t get the £10 referral code to work, @keepincool however FIVE4U gives new customers a £5 discount.

Can anyone recommend a good quality brand fountain pen?

@OnionBagoh really. I better order it whilst it’s in stock then! Do you have any intel on sizes? They look quite oversized. She’s a 10 on top

Oh no, I didn’t think to check this before ordering as it was through eBay! I did have an email to say the postage has been booked through Evri, at least if it doesn’t arrive I can hopefully claim a refund through eBay. Ironically they’re feedback on eBay is great which is what I looked at - 99.7% positive

Bohomoon have their black Friday sale on

@HeartandSeoul just checked it’s 99.9% positive on eBay so I’m hopeful 😊

That’s reassuring to hear 🙂.

I have reported my post and asked for it to be deleted, just on the off chance I have the wrong company. Sorry if I worried you.

I've got a Wordsworth & Black one on my wish-list - not sure what your budget is? They seem to get good reviews
