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?)

@RestitutionGranted my DD is 11- sure fire winners for her are Jellycats, P Louise products, bubble skincare, Ariana Grande Perfume, Dork Diary books, art supplies especially watercolours, anything related to Katseye (K pop band).

I did a subscribe and save to bring it to £8.60 lol

My dd and her friends (who are 13) love sol de janeiro which I’ve seen mentioned a lot on these threads.. I can’t remember what the bargain was though sorry, maybe someone else can remind us!

For the Secret Santa I'd head over to the Accessorize sale - they have some fab things for your budget and not as personal as skin care/makeup.

the sol de janero bargain was a boots one, with 20% off, and then some other discount and a free markup bag with minis.

I think the Smyths is only til Sunday isn't it?

What was the lowest price the giant Cadbury’s went to last year approx, does anyone remember? I’m pretty sure I didn’t buy any as they didn’t get anywhere near the low prices of 2023

@oatmilkisntsobad , have you tried la Redoute? They have striped robes

Yes, it never went down lower than about £9 last year. In 2023 it was something like £2.89

we ate so many in 2023, good times (but not for my waistline)

thank you - I’ll be on alert this year for any price drops :)

A black and decker workmate, mini woodworking tool kit and wood to chop up and nail together. I'm not joking, ours loved doing this.

Thanks for the secret Santa ideas
Anyone seen a gold 7 ft prelit tree anywhere??

Cocktails at less than half price!!!
HBDCHAIRMAN gives 56% off everything at Boxtails for a ‘limited time’

Thanks a million for this, it took the only thing my DD has asked for for xmas into my price range!

They do usually have offers for Black Friday, both on Amazon and on their own website.

Thank you, I’ll hold off for now then

I noticed that the Hotel Chocolat boxes of Christmas chocolates are cheaper on Amazon than on the Hotel Chocolat website or in their shops .

I was about to buy the Hotel Chocolat Patisserie sleekster on Amazon a few mins ago for 23.50 and it jumped up to 29.50! Was not impressed but hopefully that means it’s being reduced when Black Friday starts.

Anyone suggest a good head torch at all?

The asda rewards app has £10 off a £50 spend on clothes in store only, with unlimited use. Might be good for Christmas jumpers/pyjamas!

• If you have full-priced items in your order, enter MSEBF40 at the checkout for 40% off those.
• If you have already-reduced outlet items in your order, enter MSEBF50 at the checkout for an extra 50% off those.
• For free standard delivery, enter JEWELS at the checkout. Delivery's normally £4.90 for orders under £70.

Hot Diamond codes!!

If anyone is thinking of getting the Ninja Slushie, it’s currently £224 on Amazon against an RRP of £349. I imagine other places will also discount it over BF.

As for the giant bar of chocolate, last year I paid £8.67 so a price rise of less than £1 seemed bargainous given how much chocolate prices in general have risen. It is nothing like the year when it was ridiculously cheap though. Unfortunately, since that year, DS sees it as a Christmas tradition. Actually, what he’d really like the tradition to be is to have a bar of chocolate as proportionally big as him as that giant Cadburys bar was that year. He’s grown 7 inches this year so the bar will be even more disappointing this year than it was last year!
