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:

Re Anthropologie you have to be logged in for the discount to apply. Worth checking that’s not the issue

Another Yoto question! My DD is 7, loves her Toniebox but needs some new Tonies. There are some she’d like, but am I better to bite the bullet and get a Yoto now instead of buying new Tonies? How long did your kids still enjoy them for? Thank you!

My 7 year old loves his yoto. He had the Harry Potter books for his birthday which he likes to listen to before bed. It has a lot of scope to grow with them. He had a nice binder to store all his card which he keeps on his bedside table so he can flick through and choose what he’d like. They also do mindful/meditation style cards which are great (close your eyes sleepypaws is my favourite!).

Someone shared a dreamland discount code with me but unfortunately it didn’t work, does anyone else have one 🙏

Those in the know about Yoto, can a mini be used sufficiently at home, or is the normal one a must? I know a few places have 20% at the moment, but is it worth waiting for their own deals, plus a referral code?

Edited

We only have a mini and it's great, never felt a need for the big one! My son goes to sleep with it basically resting against his face which would be a bit tricky with the big one 😂

mummydoris2006 · 20/11/2025 11:18

I received my anthroperks voucher this morning and went to place an order, it accepted the code but didn't update the basket total so I used the online chat and this was their response. It's fair enough, they're literally giving you something for nothing but I wanted to use it for a Christmas gift that's dearer with the 25% off than full price with the voucher unfortunately.

For the cold people in your life - Heated socks

My trackers suggests this is the lowest price in 30 days, and I have a pair so can confirm they are great!

Morning everyone i hope everyone is ok

I want to get my dad a digital photo frame for christmas, does anyone rate any brands? Or just go for the best black friday deal?

We bought an Aura one last year during BF sales and have been pleased with it. I would recommend.

For those still waiting for Funko orders, I've received 2 emails today, one saying they have been dispatched and another that is a payment receipt. I've checked my card and still can't see a payment on there so have no idea what is going on with them but it seems like the order is going to arrive.

Thanks for the Guinness book of world records link. When I looked there was a Guiness book of football records 2026, £5.35 paperback.

If you buy it and click the no rush delivery option it takes off another £0.11! Delivery will be next Wednesday which is fine for me.

Fireside10 · 20/11/2025 12:22

@Lidlisthebusinesswe have the full size one my DS loves the full screen so he can 'watch' it I also really like the speakers and night light function. I would say have a read up on the different features and consider if you would actually use them. I have no issue with just giving my DS his yoto in the car but it does fill up bags when we're on trains.

The 30% bundle offer is currently on their website regardless of which you choose and I'm told it does stack with referral codes.

SlaterSleighs · 20/11/2025 12:26

This is a bit niche but Fraser have some huge discounts on Timex watches including the new Snoopy ones. I’ve just got one that is £100 less than anywhere else on the internet. I hesitated because their customer service is shocking but it was delivered in 2 days and in perfect condition.

Timex watches - Frasers

Has anyone seen a good price for Lego Botanicals Pink Rose Bouquet? I haven’t seen it cheaper than £55.00.

nothingtoseehereatall · 20/11/2025 12:38

@SlaterSleighs I had a Snoopy watch as a kid that remains the Best Watch Ever. Awfully tempted.. I'd seen these before so great spot on the pricing!

CatRash · 20/11/2025 12:45

I got the kids to do some drawings for family members and got them turned into metal keyrings. Thought they'd make great gifts from the kids!

I bought these ones from Temu for £2.67 each and they arrived today. I'm happy with the quality and thickness of them.

I did amend the kids drawings on Procreate first just to make them into clear line drawings and make sure faces etc. were joined to the rest of it.

https://share.temu.com/1ItRj7Q5MaB

Lots of places do them though although prices vary!!

WannaBeOrganised · 20/11/2025 12:48

My KPOP funko pops have arrived - well packaged and look good..

I've also just done a haul order with the £10 off £20. Stacks with 5% off over £30, so my £31 order was about £19.50.
I possibly could have got it cheaper by waiting for black Friday, but didnt want to risk stock availability and it's still much cheaper than elsewhere. I bought the remaining thermal socks/gloves etc needed for Lapland (bought some previously and seemed good quality) ⛄️

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 20/11/2025 12:50

help me Hive mind! I need an apple SE watch and an iphone for about £200 ish each.

I think I can get a refurbished iphone 13 but not sure if people recommend certain companies for refurbished phones etc?
