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!

Edited to add, I’ve just seen a previous comment written just before mine explaining that no code is needed! Please Ignore my comment. As you were 😁.

FortnumsWeddingBreakfastTeaPlease

I just had a little test to see if it still works. The code is entered at checkout. It still works, but it is hit and miss which items it works for (some items only allowed me a smaller discount).

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.

The original factory shop have Ralph Lauren Tan Baseball Caps for just £12 each. (They say £15, but when you go to checkout a 20% discount is already added.) Only in tan and unfortunately you do have to pay for postage.

DS has a load of magna tiles already. He has specifically asked for the tubes and balls you can connect with them. Has anyone seen a set of these? All the ones I can see seem to be mostly tiles with just a few tubes

Snapfish have a deal atm — £6 (plus £3.99 postage) for an A5 photobook, 20 pages. I ordered a couple and was really pleased with them. Can be either portrait or landscape. Code is BSALE25

Thanks to the poster who shared the P.Louise trick (sorry I can't remember who it was!)

I signed up to the loyalty program yesterday, followed all the links and put my birthday as today so once midnight came I got my birthday points.

I got €8.82 worth of points all together so added 'The Perfect Base Pastel Coloured Base Set' from the sale section. It was €8.95 down from €50.95!

Then the free hand cream worth €12.95 was added to my basket, so I got the whole lot for €4.13 including delivery!

I can’t figure out how to use my points. The only option it’s giving me is 10% off.

Can anyone recommend a heated gilet or an extremely warm cardigan or body warmer for my mum who is always cold and has a bad back. She doesn’t like anything too ‘bulky’

Fortheloveofpenguins · 12/11/2025 07:19

Just got the Lego Star Wars advent calendar for £21 from Amazon. Other Lego advent calendars also reduced.

My husband has the regatta heated gilet and swears by it. It isn't bulky at all. The battery life is good too.
Not sure if you can get a bargain on it though.

It looks like it’s only NYX purchases that are 12.5%. Just in case you’re expecting more! V

{mention:slipperypenguin}we@slipperypenguinwe have the Connectix ball run set. It comes with a variety of different tubes and the tiles with holes in and these work well with our Magnatile branded tiles.

The last couple of years I bought Seasalt Christmas Jute Bags to use as gift bags. I was hoping to get the same this year for management at my work but they don't seem to be doing them (I'm sure it was 3 for 2 last year).

Can anyone recommend similar? Was hoping for it to be a "nice brand" as well but cheap enough too 😊

Whistlefish do lovely jute bags, 3 for £6 at the moment. Not Christmasy but they come in all different colours.

Quite a few reductions on Magnatiles today at Argos. This princess castle set went down really well with DD last year who was three at the time. Still played with. Half price at £25.

XmasShoppingsister · 12/11/2025 08:35

The Gross Bath time sets from Baylis and Harding that were suggested recently are now half price on Boots, this one is £4 and finally back in stock online.

Going real life shopping today! I need to focus and stop buying for myself! I already have enough skin care products for 2026 thanks to these threads!
If I see any bargains I’ll be sure to share.

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 12/11/2025 09:02

@DressOrSkirtcan I ask, how did you redeem your points? I’ve had my >ahem 😀 < birthday points today and done all the SM likes so gone to spend my points but I can only see an option to pick a % off spend? Is that what you did?
