Thread 11 - The one where I missed out the Shitting Flamingo

[RainbowZebraWarrior]

Hello folks and welcome to the ongoing Christmas Bargain threads, which are hosted annually by the Amazing Reastie. I'm just caretaking for now.

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, please.

Please post 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!

Let's keep those bargains coming!

I manage a team of around 50

I purchase a thank you christmas gift out of my own pocket.
This year I got them each a nice notebook.
Great ones on amazon Haul - think i paid £3.60 each.
Then got a wholesale pack of nice pens off amazon to go with them.
It total spent around £4.50 each.

It really is the thought not the expense

Is toniebox official site the best place/price to buy the toniebox? Buying tonight and want a fair few figures to go with it - I’m not being daft by going for the £135.99 option am I?!

Hi @TherebytheGraceofGodgoI he really is proving very difficult! We don't really do big presents without asking for links but I like to put together a stocking (small sack) of things he'll enjoy and appreciate.
He used to cycle to work (18 miles) a couple of times a week in the nicer weather so has panniers that he used for carrying a change of clothes, his lunch box and laptop. I'm leaving the gloves to DS but the hat sounds like an option. He does have a cap - useful for keeping the bugs at bay especially when cycling up mountains in France. I might have a look at the skull cap but need to check what he already has as he just appears, kitted up with helmet on 😂

@TheGirlWhoLivedi think lidl have Tonieboxs in from tomorrow, I don't know how they compare price wise. And @BeautifulTulipstesco also had the Wicked Ordo toothbrushes much reduced with club card, and the squishmallows ones are under £30 on Amazon and their own site if you happened to be looking for character ones..

I ordered the Dishoom chutneys from Anthropologie and unfortunately the BBE is 27.12! Won’t be an issue for my DH but maybe something to think about if gifting. I have asked them about this as it’s not mentioned on the website.

Just bought a few of these for DS - Frodo, Gimli, Legolas and Gandalf for £24.99 delivered which is a bargain compared to the same items elsewhere

£1 electric toothbrush riddle answer is "peach iced tea"

I tried and it said I’d unlocked deal and then when I go to checkout for £1 green toothbrush it says £10 for a yellow one! Maybe they’ve all sold out

If you have access, Costco do great food gifts that can often be broken up for multiple gifts.
We’ve had a box of mini panettone’s for about £5, they have a pack of 4 Gudrun Belgian chocolates for £19 (delivered so cheaper in store), 2 tins of truffles for £10.99.

Did you add it to your basket after unlocking it?

You might need to delete the £10 yellow one as you can only have one vault bundle in your basket.

Home bargains and the range have them! £99 in home bargains. I’m seriously tempted to get one

£5.99 is pricey for p&p on HISMILE.

I've just bought an OralB IO3 with 2 brush heads from Amazon as a gift for £49.99, which is the cheapest I've seen it. I've already got an IO3 myself and rate it, although the brush heads are annoyingly expensive.

Thanks for this, tempted to order one along with some toothpaste. Shipping price is high though! Hate shipping 🤣😅

Yes! I’ve given up now as it was annoying!!

thanks I’ve gone for the hi shine deal, will there be another one tomorrow? I’ve got two stockings to fill…

Currys are currently offering a £10 off £50+ spend voucher for taking a broken/unwanted electrical or battery-operated item into the store to be recycled, under their 'Trash for Cash' scheme. You don't have to spend the voucher immediately and it can be used instore or online. Has a few exclusions on what you can spend the £10 voucher on (including gaming annoyingly).

Just had a quick look at reviews for hismile on trust pilot and they aren’t great so I’m debating whether to order or not! Has anyone had anything direct from their website before?

Thanks but they don't appear to have the slippers on the website 😫

Re. HiSmile

They've done the promotion for the previous 4x nights at least so I suspect it will continue until Black Friday. I will try to post the answer each night but feel free to if anyone else spots it first.

I ordered on Thursday and my order is supposedly coming tomorrow via Amazon - I can update when if arrives. I order the £1 electric toothbrush, £1 toothpaste and 2x mystery toothpastes.

Postage is high I agree but £1 for a toothbrush which will make a funky stocking filler is pretty good still!

Can anyone recommend a good women's battery shaver (for pits and legs)? I had one as a teen that was great, but when I got a replacement a few years ago it seemed to catch my skin. Don't want to risk getting a rubbish one for a gift...

Aery Living has 30% off site wide. I’ve had a few of their candles before, actually bought them from Anthropologie, not direct. They are nicely packaged and smell great.

Tesco have “Merci” chocolates on offer, usually £6.25 but if you’ve got a Clubcard they’re £2 cheaper.
It’s nice chocolate and the name seems appropriate.

Can anyone help me out with getting the Anthropologie code to work please? I was going to leave it until the end of the 25% perks BF discount but it looks like other pps are managing to place orders using the code despite the automatic BF pricing…? Am I being super dense?

@Fillybuster you have to find something full price and something that costs £20 or more. Choose a category and scroll to the bottom for the non discounted items I think someone said.
