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!

If you have any referral links then please post on this thread:

Mariah will be singing All I want for Christmas before we know it, and it's only 46 days until Christmas, so let's get those bargains, folks!

Does anyone know if Owala water bottles are any good? My DD needs a new bottle for high school, I’d never usually fork out that much but they do look really good

There's one for £12.22, plus free delivery, at OnBuy.com - I've just bought one based on the recommendations above

Amazon have Aber Falls liqueurs (2 gin flavours and 2 whisky liqueurs) that are 2 for £20.
This includes the Pistachio cream liqueur. I saw it on the cocktail segment of Sunday Brunch on channel 4 a few weeks ago and have had my eye on it. Great price for 2 gifts

LostMyRubySlippers · 13/11/2025 16:28

Had an email from PayPal offering £5 credit if you pay with their new pay in 3 option

Maqio have what looks to be about 70% off on a barbie kitchen playset (£83 reduced to £23) and a load of reduced lego including Christmas truck, centrepiece and £25 off the lego lilo and stitch beach house. And a free christmas box with a £50 spend and win your basket competition

Hpbbycraft has done its early black friday release for club members and there are a load of half price/cut price art sets if people are looking for tweens/teens presents. I assume the same offers will roll out to non club members next week, but I think you just have to join the mailing list to become a 'member'! . Annoyingly no dscount on the colour in houses yet but jigsaws are also half price including Disney Princess, Bluey, Paw Patrol etc

This looks like a good deal, thanks. I've never heard of the site before, have you bought from them before?

hby9628 · 13/11/2025 16:53

Lots of malfy gin on offer on Amazon

For the Jellycat fans, I have a genuine Steepy for my DD but I’m now totally besotted by the snowglobes. Has anyone seen one for a decent market price at a small Indy shop? Might swap out my Steepy for what I paid for it on Vinted at this rate!!

We got these for our caravan but in white. They are awful. They currently reside in the loft as I am not sure how best to get rid of them

I can’t remember who mentioned Bailey’s sets but I saw this set in Asda. They also have this Christmas dinner set reduced.

Does anyone know the best way to buy a yoto? Does anyone remember the black Friday discount from last year?

I bought mine on the Yoto site, they were giving a free cover with orders. I’ve added a discount code to the Promos and Bargains section - I think you get 15% off (might be 10%) 🤔

minerva7 · 13/11/2025 18:42

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 13/11/2025 12:02

Can I ask - are they legit?!!! Some nice bits on their clearance page and free delivery makes it very tempting!!!

CLEARANCE15 for 15% off too.

My granddaughter has asked for a new pair of rugby boots for Christmas. The trouble is, they only need to be a size 12! Does anyone have any idea where I might find such a thing?

PearlTeapot · 13/11/2025 10:34

@redjoker I wear double earrings and necklace from Abbots Lyon in the shower, swimming etc every day. Never take them off, never tarnished. They always have good sales too.

@redjoker i totally second this comment and recommendation from @PearlTeapot.

none of my Abbott & Lyon items have tarnished despite wearing daily since I got them. That includes some of the chunky tennis bracelets which I’ve never taken off.

they do great deals in the run up to black Friday but have gone to BOGOF in recent years so has been worth holding out for this on actual Black Friday. However I don’t know if they will do this again.

🔔A little timely reminder for everyone that all referral links should be posted on the referrals board. This keeps this board free for bargains and encourages fair play on the referrals board here: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5212180-bargain-referrals-thread-7

For those of you visiting the board for the first time, feel free to play a bit of referral roulette; don’t just pick the first person to post a particular referral - feel free to dip into one of the later pages and grab one from there to share the love.

You’ll find all the most common referrals (topcashback, quidco, bloom & wild, yoto, lookfantastic etc) on almost every page, so you won’t have to look very hard to find one.

Thanks to those of you who have already redirected folk, now back to bargain hunting. 😃
