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:

IAmLadyWhistledown · 19/11/2025 08:07

Managed to get these bubble t cosmetics products and only paid £3.44 with shipping!

Done it by signing up to their loyalty scheme and doing some of the things to get points which gave me £10 off my order.

I have popped a referral onto the referrals board if anyone wanted to use that to get £10 off their order.

You have to spend over £10.01 for the code to work! ❤️

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

Edited

A heads up that last Black Friday there was an apparently amazing half price hotel Chocolate H box deal. I bought a couple and in both cases, the use by date was very close, the chocolates looked as though they had melted at some stage before solidifying again and they tasted a bit off.

@RestitutionGranted I know you have had some great beauty tips for your nieces already. I just wanted to add I bought my own nieces SHO water bottles one year in funky designs. Added bonus I could gift them in wine gift bags to cement my inappropriate auntie persona in my brother's eyes! 🤣

Mistysmom · 19/11/2025 08:34

These toys have had a price drop + code TOYS50 working on top

To be fair to Smyth's they are very clear about their new restocking fee 🙂 I placed the order for click and collect items on Monday morning and before I checked out it was prominently on the page "we now charge a £2 non collection fee", it was then also in the confirmation email and the email to tell me the order had arrived- so it's a new thing and they are being very clear about it

But not applicable for pre orders like you say, as I also got an email yesterday that my pre orders have arrived (K Pop Funko's) but they only give you 2 days to collect! But with various plans I have in already I don't think I'm going to make it to pick up my stuff either, so im a bit annoyed at the short turnaround!

Edited

See my email didn't mention it, nor at purchase, but I assume that was because it was only a pre-order I made. Glad to hear that they do make it clear otherwise. Also mine was the kpop funko as well and I didn't have a chance with their small collection window. I've reordered on Amazon using prime delivery, much more convenient

I've just looked on the thread but can't find your code, can you please DM me it?

Great idea!!! 💡

thanks to all for the suggestions

Is there a minimum spend for Anthropologie with the perks code? Or can we just spend £20?

No, there’s no minimum spend 🙂

Thanks @HeartandSeoul

nothingtoseehereatall · 19/11/2025 09:03

I reckon that when I signed up to Anthroperks I didn't tick the "You can spam me with emails" box and that's why I didn't get the code. Have tried with DH phone number - hope that works just for the bargain Jellycat!

Any Amazon BF gurus - I had a CamelCamelCamel price alert on the Kindle Paperweight on behalf of my mum (as in, she wants to buy it, not a xmas present for her). It's gone down from £160 to £125. That's the cheapest it's been - it's probably not going lower than that, right? Even though obvs we are not yet at BF?

Code GIFT50 takes 50% off a piece of personalised jewellery from Abbott Lyon this morning, until 1pm. Seems to work on items which are already reduced too.

Timesquaredy · 19/11/2025 09:12

I’ve not had my Anthropologie code but I’ve had about 1 million other emails from them! About to block them as it’s not worth the aggravation.

You can just spend £20 and pay postage

hugsandpugs · 19/11/2025 09:14

Has anyone heard anything about their Celtic and co orders yet?

SugarCookieMonster · 19/11/2025 09:17

Not a bargain but definitely an alert! Muppet Christmas Carol merch has landed on Disney store site. Loungefly bag, spirit jersey, ornament, socks and shirts. They will sell out fast so grab it while it’s there if you have a fan to buy for.

@Qwerty21 @44PumpLane I would definitely give your store a call to see if they can hold on to it a little longer. Mine has done in the past, although it may depend on who you speak to!

John Lewis have half price offers on their own crackers. Just bought fill your own ones and now I need to find gifts to go in them !

IDontKnowWhatYouMean · 19/11/2025 09:48

@nothingtoseehereatall re the Paperwhite - it has been slightly cheaper than the current price, I don’t think the 3 camels tracker includes Prime Day deals, because they are not open to everyone.

I bought the Paperwhite in July from John Lewis for £118, plus there was also £25 off the official case if you bought both at the same time (I chose the jade fabric case, it’s lovely). JL were price matching Amazon at the time but also offering the discounted case as an additional offer. I bought the Paperwhite with the case for under £125.

fishfingersandchipsagain · 18/11/2025 17:42

I placed 2 orders.

One arrived in full (in an unbranded box) and the custom one arrived in the branded box, but nothing else has arrived from that order.

@fishfingersandchipsagain @Arewesureitisntbedtime I did an order on the 7th and it said it would email me when dispatched around 5 days later but I haven't received a dispatch email. I emailed them Sunday to ask but had a reply yet. Worse is that I noticed this morning that the money is back in my bank. I'm sure it had came out or was sitting pending and now nothing.
When I log in my order is still sitting there though but have a feeling itl get cancelled which is rubbish as I got loads of things
