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:

Thanks for the new thread. Another request for Bawbags boxers discounts. Does anyone know if they do any?

KLAXON: no need to write 'thank you for the new thread' / place mark.

Just hit the 'watch thread' button. And press 'bookmark' on my post.

Thanks for advice to wait longer for Elizabeth scarlett offer.

UntamedShrew · 16/11/2025 11:43

Thanks for all the PJ links. Primark looked to have come up trumps but they are out of stock in all the London ones it seems. Isn’t it always the things you think are going to be straightforward that end up sending you round the twist?

UntamedShrew · 16/11/2025 11:47

Anyway if helpful for anyone looking for similar I am getting the new look ones. They also had leopard print fluffy socks which were next on her list so win win 🤩

KLAXON: this function doesn't work on some accounts/app versions, which is why you'll see them writing "thanks for new thread" etc

Doesn’t work, the watch function is glitchy. And I like to check in with my Nc.

I have two requests to make, but I’ll split this into two asks to make things easier.

Does anyone have any recommendations for Lord of the Rings gifts for a teenage boy? I’ve got a birthday and Christmas coming up, so any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 16/11/2025 11:51

Thank you so much @RainbowZebraWarrior for the new thread it's so kind of you .
Just been to Aldi's and for those of us who like to get a wreath early they had lovely ones in there for £7.99.

I think my last request got a bit lost at the end of the last thread...

Had anyone tried socks printed with their pet's face? There are 1001 options and I don't want to go too cheap or pay too much? Any recommendations? :)

cheesychipsontheoche · 16/11/2025 12:25

May be store specific but my local Aldi has their Prosecco further reduced - was £4.99 now £4.69. It’s decent enough and that’s a great price

I ordered this room spray and the diffuser same scent as gifts. Which are currently 20% off and received the candles with code 45rituals

I actually ordered 2 lots as 2 separate orders so I could give the spray and candles as one gift, diffuser and candles as another gift and keep a spray and diffuser for myself

@MamaClausToTheRescue I’ve got an email from Raven Forge offering me the chance to win a replica of Gandalf’s sword (simply by making a purchase on their site) but appreciate swords might not be the way to go for gifting!!
previously DH has got a nice mug from truffle shuffle before with a map of middle earth on it

@BravoBuild sorry I can’t help but watching to see if anyone helps you. I’d love some socks for adult ds with pics of our dog on but would like a recommendation before buying!

MayaTheBusyBee · 16/11/2025 14:12

Decent price for It’s not my Christmas tree with twinkling lights on Amazon. I saw it in Dunelm yesterday but refused to pay £12 for it there.
