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?)

M&D vending machine is down to £48.59 on Amazon. It was on last year’s list for us but couldn’t justify the price. Still seems a lot to me but I know it will be well received!

If anyone is after rugby boots theres a crazy deal on the Canterbury site.

Boots are already heavily reduced then it takes another 70% off at checkout!!! I’ve just managed to get four pairs for under £35 with delivery!

Wow! Just had a look and those are huge discounts when you click through to the checkout page. Shame it's not football boots, I don't have anyone to buy rugby boots for. But great spot @hugsandpugs !!

It’s literally crazy prices I’ve never seen them that cheap. 3 of my nephews play rugby and both my sons so that’s sorted a few presents! 🎄

hugsandpugs · 18/11/2025 10:14

Oh and there’s an extra 10% sale on unidays for Canterbury so I used that too ❤️

rrrrrreatt · 18/11/2025 10:19

Lidl have their winter queen shower gel in now, £1.99 a bottle. It’s a dupe of Lush snow fairy but a similar size bottle from Lush is £24!!

Also I’d really recommend the Ninja eBay outlet mentioned earlier. We ordered a Speedi on Black Friday a few years ago for half the RRP. It got damaged in transit and they were dead good about replacing it - sent a brand new one (it was out of stock on the outlet) before they’d even received our return.

rim and raisin and the violent creams…

Am I really the only one that clicked on this thread thinking we were going to be discussing the dangers of porn 🫣🤣

UrbanMage · 18/11/2025 10:29

We really rate the Online Home Shop ones here too.

And they always have decent bits in their sale. DD is 10 and tall so we got the adult poncho towels for her, for when we went away and they were amazing for throwing in by the pool. I did a huge order a few months ago and got some lovely bits for Christmas.

dancemom · 18/11/2025 10:30

Has anyone received their Owala water bottle yet and know if it’s genuine?

FurForksSake · 18/11/2025 10:37

@Anxietybummer we did drift in to some light fisting at one point….

hugsandpugs · 18/11/2025 10:38

Just a heads up the Canterbury glitch must now be fixed as it’s no longer taking 70% off at checkout! Wonder if they will honour my order or cancel it 🤔

ILoveCatsAndKittens · 18/11/2025 10:42

Just bought these fleece kids pyjamas from Asda less than £5 Folded up with a ribbon around them.

Thanks @mummydoris2006 and @QOD I'll check them out. Going to just have to bite the bullet!

Asking for help please, 2 things

Has anyone seen a 7 fat gold Christmas tree, prelit?
I can only see one in John Lewis and it’s £250 - ideally want to spend a bit less than that, I can’t imagine JL does a Black Friday across the board discount??

I need a secret Santa for a woman I really don’t know at all well. She’s early 30’s, Asian - only mentioning this as it makes it trickier to get make up so I’m hoping for recommendations, has 3 kids under 10 and works full time. The SS value is £20 - any ideas please?

H&M have one a bit like the piglet in bed one, here. Or would one like this from John Lewis do the job?

John Lewis one here, not sure why link not working in previous post!

Someone said a few days ago that they had a £5 voucher to use on their perfume shop account so I checked mine and had it too! Used 15% off unidays voucher which stacked with the £5 off x

For the Secret Santa - I know it’s boring - but nice hand cream ? With three children her money probably goes on the family first and that way it’s for her and no one else. Does she wear a scarf ? Cheap but lovely winter ones in Primark for around £5 and then some posh hand cream ( Milton Brown/ L’Occitane/ even a nice M&S set or Body Shop )might work ? Could even add a choc bar ? £20 is a lot if you do t know someone very well.

edit due to fat fingers and small phone keyboard causing wrong letters typed - that’s what I am blaming !

I didn’t either but at that price I thought I’m not gonna leave it there 🤣🫣

I’ll probably end up putting it away to gift someone ❤️
