Thread 9 - The one where it's almost Black Friday

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!

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!

Have I missed the 20% off Tesco gift vouchers??

Well, despite being sure I wasn’t getting the M&S calendar this year I was sucked in by this deal! Thank you for spotting it. Somehow managed to get free standard delivery too. I have also ordered the Superdrug Revolution advent calendar for my teen at 25% off, so £24, also with free delivery (if anyone else is looking). Just need to find a deal on a Lego one and I’ll be sorted!

I’m pretty sure I have a fairly intact Flamingo and all bits that go with it bar the box.
As I recall it shat once on Christmas morning and it has never been looked at or felt an urge since.

I will look, it may have been donated, but if I have it, and you want it, I’ll be happy to send it to you. It’ll be Sunday probably before I’ll have time to look - you may well be sorted with a new one by then 💩🦩💩

I don’t recall any fluids being involved with the flamingo. You just feed it the powder and it shits it out (with much effort).

Hello all - I do enjoy this ongoing thread for suggestions and have picked up some great ideas over the years!

This year I’m looking for any recommendations on:

A hoverboard for DS9 (have seen one in smyths but wondering whether to chance from a random online supplier that would be cheaper? Anybody bought one before and thought it was decent?)

a watch that you can make phonecalls to and from for kids WITHOUT needing a smartphone

aaaand ideas for a 3YO boy? He’s already got a balance bike, a hot wheels garage, loads of Lego, lots of arty stuff and stuff inherited from big bro so struggling a bit for ideas!

thank you all for any suggestions x

Not sure if someone has already posted but 20% off Very if you sign up to their credit account. It’s on a lot of electrical, including AirPods and Meta Quest, but not everything (not switch or PS5 from memory)

However, you don’t actually have to buy anything in credit, the code still works if you open an account and then pay it upfront

I’ve just got the 512 gb meta 3 for £375 down from £469, and noise cancelling AirPods for £135 down from £169

do you have a link, please? thanks

Build your own kits that have been popular on here in the past have some Black Friday offers.
The microscope kit has been really popular gift for kids we have given it to.

@steelingmyself we have the imoo watch, had it for 3 years now and still going strong.

@Carrie76- yes! This is the sort of thing I was looking for, thank you.

I decided to cancel my audible subscription a little while back. I did this via the app...before I confirmed cancel it offered me 3 months half price. Only takes a minute, don't need to speak to anyone, so prob worth doing just to get the reduced cost for a few months. I took the offer and then cancelled.

@ChristmasJumperz thanks so much for the revolution info!

Some great offers on there - I managed to get the bath and body gift sets you mentioned 😊 one in caramel and the other in cherry.
Then 2 aftershaves, 1 perfume, their pro miracle cream (which is fab!) and also a free blush duo for £30 delivered! ❤️

Is the flamingo constipated ?

Love this thread!

this is the link to the gift cards (sorry it’s 20% not 25% I miss remembered!). The 25% off almost everything is automatically applied on the website on New Look, there is no code

There is a £5 bonus on Quidco when you spend £25. Some exclusions, and only available for first 10,000 that opt in.
let’s be honest, most of us are shopping pretty regularly now so it would be a nice little addition to whatever cashback you got anyway!

For the 3 year old, magnet tiles are a huge win in my house, I am getting my little boy some Jigsaws as that seems to have peaked his interest in recent weeks, I've ordered this pattern Drill kit which looks good and he loves tools and it has a voucher to £14ish (even if an older brother had it i bet its missing parts haha) https://amzn.eu/d/fiSar7x

Ahahaha I second this one for next title 🤣 @FortnumsWeddingBreakfastTeaPlease i feel your pain on this my dd circled this in a magazine and is obsessed, like why would anyone want a shitting flamingo?! These kids are wild 🫣🤣

Whistlefish have 18 for £10 on their christmas cards this weekends and this includes the luxury ones (which are £3 each)

I think we are going to get switches this year in an attempt to lure them from YouTube on car journeys. I am absolutely useless with all technology so wondering if anyone had opinions on models and also where is most likely to have a good offer on them? Thank you

Men’s vans down to £33 vans

This would be great but it won’t let me opt in. Thank you though for mentioning

Next have sent me a email with £10 off a £25 spend on the next app. Comes straight off at the checkout. I assume it won't be every account though!

I came onto share about whistlefish too, BEAUTIFUL cards and free delivery over £25 so I usually buy my whole year of cards this time of year! Have ordered 18 Christmas ones and then done 2 lots of the 10 for £10 pick your own- so all birthdays hopefully accounted for.
