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!

Any ideas for a darts fan? Budget around £25 where possible!
Anyone looking for experience/ days out gifts then I’d recommend planet offers

Last year I got DH some personalised darts flights from this seller on etsy which were great. I actually designed them on the Red Dragon darts custom designer here and then screen shotted it to send to the Etsy seller. Obviously that is a bit cheeky but it was quite last-minute and the lead time from Red Dragon was too long.

I see she is now doing customised stems as well.
Alternatively if the darts fan has a favourite player you can buy the branded flights/darts for all the players - just google them.

For those that are going to Smyths, my dh went yesterday, I'm unwell so sent him on his lunch break, he said it was chaos! They've moved loads of items around so a mare to find things.
with the money off anything over £100 is £10 off even if you spend £150. I'd read that in their t&c's so my dh was going to 2 shops, but with the chaos he didnt fancy going back later.
He spoke to a sales assistant and she allowed him to put through two transactions of just over £100 each but he had to use different cards.
We got all my dds bday and xmas stuff and my ds xmas stuff, from us and grandparents.

Can anyone recommend a make your own neon sign kit? I think my son would enjoy one for his room but there are so many and would rather buy one that someone has recommened.

I bought some recommended on this thread from Oliver Bonas as they were on offer. Haven't gifted them yet, but they seem OK.

Have seen people recommend ticket to ride as a good. Word game. Is it actually good? Looking for something for DS10 and DS8 to play on boxing day etc that is fun but not too complicated

mummyof2boys30 · 21/11/2025 10:24

Does anyone have a student or bluelight discount for JD? Showing at 20% but my code wont work. Thanks

slipperypenguin · 21/11/2025 10:26

DS8 has asked for a Represent jumper for Christmas but all I’m seeing is super young kids sizes or adults. Am I looking at an XXS adults here?

valentinoandme · 21/11/2025 10:28

@mummyof2boys30 is what you're trying to buy reduced? Disappointingly, Bluelight only works on full price stuff at JD now.

You can! Revolution £5 Friday is on today and includes these and loads of other bargains. I've just placed 2 orders. Ordered once then spotted more stuff 😂

Do you have any recommendations? My teen is just getting in to make up so a couple of bits for her stocking would be nice.

The eye palettes are good - great for experimenting with colour

@Dreamingofwalden London Theatre Week* *sale starts next week (or is live now if you have eg Mastercard Priceless).
Cheap tickets but often crap seats and mud week performances. But worth a look.

I just looked for skincare sets in the menu. They got a body wash, body cream and body spray. There’s also different sets with moisturiser etc but they are £10.
