Posting on behalf of the lovely @Reastie

This post is a work in progress 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!

what kind of things do people buy on there ?

just fyi, there's a dedicated thread here

Fancyateapottea · 11/11/2025 09:02

Yoto are doing a free jacket when you buy a player today only. If you were going to buy the jacket anyway this is a good deal and I got 10% off with being a member too. I’ll kick myself if it goes lower on Black Friday though!

TheGirlWhoLived · 11/11/2025 09:30

I’m doing very well with haul. At this rate I’ll be done with stocking fillers for free 🤣
i can confirm LUCKY11 works today (it didn’t come up as a banner) as well as LUCKY10 Working yesterday. Hopeful for LUCKY12 tomorrow

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but I couldn’t get yesterdays code or todays code to work! Is it on ANY items?

TheGirlWhoLived · 11/11/2025 09:40

Yeah I’ve had a cat laser pen, a rug gripper, some Christmas gift bags, hair accessories, diamond art of a robin, some leggings with pockets and some mini baubles!

Quite the range. I added the code in the promo code/gift card box, it wasn’t a tick box or added automatically. I almost had to get to the payment stage

TheGriffle · 11/11/2025 09:43

3 Yoto cards bought for £9.98 (had a £2 something refund credit to use) along with the Luky11 code on Amazon Haul. Happy with that to start DD’s collection of cards.

FurForksSake · 11/11/2025 09:47

You have to add the lucky11 as a promo code and then click continue or whatever the purple button says. I did it yesterday and managed to back out of the window instead of using it.

CalliopePlantain · 11/11/2025 09:54

All bikes on sale at Smyths

TheGirlWhoLived · 11/11/2025 09:57

@FurForksSake you aren’t alone, I did that twice. Is it an arrow you have to press? Something like that. You definitely have to ‘add’ the code before continuing

TheGriffle · 11/11/2025 10:21

I’ve added each screen for where you enter the promo code on Amazon Haul checkout (when they appear)

I didn't have to add a code on haul. I had a ticky box that said 'apply offer' and so I did that and the £11 discount was just applied at checkout.

You have to do it before you go to your basket. It will be in a purple box like the one outlined below and will say "Lucky11 redeem" or something like that - it won't come up for me as I've already used mine today.

I've bought a load of tissue paper, gift bags and satin ribbon for gift wrapping and vinted packing.

I believe it was on these threads that someone posted an idea of how to present vouchers . It was some sort of book with wording cleverly done so for the coffee fix - a nero voucher. If anyone knows what I am talking about I would really appreciate it if you shared again

Don't know how to do links but it could be Once upon a plank on Etsy

redjoker · 11/11/2025 11:43

Thanks for the Clarins heads up

I bought the cheapest item I could find- a stocking filler, (there's a gift box thats cheaper but its not in the deal) and have 11 samples added (I looked for the biggest ones as it lists the size on ordering!)

I got 6% on topcashback plus a £2 cahsback bonus, So all of this for about £11 quid.

I don't know if this has already been posted but I found a great idea for DPIL that I was stuck on, the Ivy are doing a £100 voucher for £90 plus £3.75 delivery and it also includes a bottle of Ivy fizz. I was going to get them a meal voucher anyway and this looks extra special.

SugarCookieMonster · 11/11/2025 12:16

ZATU games have a Black Friday sale and 3% off if you buy 3 items & 5% off 5.

I’ve ordered their Riddle pics puzzle for New Years Eve which is down to £4.98 from about £10 everywhere else. They have different themed ones, video games, movies, books and food. Might make good stocking fillers especially for hard to buy for teens!

Mistysmom · 11/11/2025 12:43

Arregaithel · 10/11/2025 22:57

@Pixieknowle ACTUALLY!

This code takes off 70%!!

70-PLAYER-MINI takes it down to £18

Is it this one? (2024 edition)

eta; also works on 3rd gen down to £27

Edited

Tried this but not working 😕

Thanks for that, we are going to Edinburgh between Christmas and new year and have reservations at the Ivy so ordered this and will use the fizz at some point.

SkinnyOatFlatWhiteForMePlease · 11/11/2025 12:55

Also thanks for the haul tip, I had a refund credit on my Amazon account so with that and the £11 off my order came to the princely sum of 71p!!!

I know the Bic 4 colour pens are sometimes a popular stocking filler - my 13 year old still enjoys getting one - they have some on haul, not particularly cheaper than other places but a useful thing if you are planning to use the £11 off code.

IlovePond · 11/11/2025 13:18

Hi, if buying from Haul, please don’t make the mistake I made - which was failing to add the promotional code when struggling to remove auto credit card payment and replace with gift card 🙈

I am so annoyed and can’t do anything about it, as it was yesterday’s order!

Arregaithel · 11/11/2025 13:29

Arregaithel · 10/11/2025 23:23

ah! apologies everyone.

I didn't checkout, just saw that the code was applied and thought a bargain was to be had.

The old adage springs to mind, if it looks too good to be true...

@Mistysmom yes, you are absolutely correct, it was realised last night, shortly after I'd posted, sadly
