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.

Independent shops the best call as mentioned upthread but I've always had good service from skate hut

Really sorry if it’s already been mentioned! But any John Lewis members check your offers on the app, I picked up a lovely free Charbennoll et Walker Christmas cracker from store earlier, ideal for a stocking or a hamper 😊

A bit niche but does anyone know where to buy some Tinkerbell related things (specifically the funko pops and makeup/skincare bits)

Just a second shout out to @Reastie that we are now on page 40. It always seems to happen at the weekend and you're probably busy. Happy to start thread 9 if you aren't around x

@GiddyDog My two have had years of use out of their Decathlon stunt scooters. Obviously you can buy cheaper but these have been through a fair bit of action and always been brilliant for us - smooth-running and sturdy

@BonaidMhoir thanks! I totally understand why people recommend an independent retailer but in all honesty my son isn't a particularly ambitious or keen skater so something basic but sturdy will do him just fine for pootling around.

I haven’t seen it mentioned - sorry if it has been…

The Works have their 10 books for £10 offer on but it’s on a special offer of 12 for £10. Lots of choice at ours - the normal range of books like Elmer, Thomas, Bluey etc but also things like Kippers Christmas Eve, a Peppa Pig Christmas story, Bluey Christmas story, Elmer Christmas story etc - I got a few for presents and also some to wrap to open twice a week as part of the Advent Calendar for some new Christmas stories in December.

Since there's less than 20 posts left on this thread and I know @Reastie is a very busy lady, I've started Thread 9
