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.

Does anyone know the white company fragrances well? I keep notes throughout the year on my phone for possible gifts. One was for my sister and it was a shower gel set and I have noted down mint fragrance but I can’t see that on the website. Does anyone know what it might be?

Here's a link to their wild mint collection which is the only thing I think it could be

Edited to add, there's no shower gel etc but maybe there was earlier in the year (they obviously sell different fragrances for summer / winter seasons)

I can recommend the Tuscan Grove one. It's nice and fresh and not too overpowering

I signed up for anthropology but got 10% off my first order so I wonder if they have changed the welcome offer?

You need to sign up to Anthroperks - their reward scheme - and the voucher comes after 3 days.

Can anyone advise whether kids crocs and women's crocs in the same size are the same (or are kids ones narrower) please? A friend is lusting after Crocs slippers but would never buy them for herself and my browsing has shown her size in the kids version at £26 vs £34.99 for the adults.

If she really would need adults ones, does anyone know where I could get a black pair for under £34.99 delivered please? Thank you 😊

I bought adults ones yesterday and a BLC brought them down to just under £25 if that is any help. That was the black ones on the croc official website.

cheesychipsontheoche · 23/11/2025 08:28

There were adult fur lined crocs on Amazon yesterday £29.99

Right mumsnetters, do your thing please, hubby has just requested a 6ft nutcracker for our front porch. I may need to lie down for a bit before I start looking in earnest.

Costco have one for about £350. It is marvellous - massive, with lights, plays tunes. Comes in green or red clothes and white or dark skin.

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.

Are we married? I swear one year I'm going to wake up with one towering over me. If DH could work out how to afford it get it into the car and home by himself he would.

I have to buy 8 gifts for my team but I don’t have a company budget, it’s a token ‘thanks’ gift out of my own pocket. Last year I spent £7 each on a nice tin of shortbread from Marks and Spencer which was gratefully received by everyone. I don’t earn lots of money so even though £7 each seems mean when you are buying 8 it adds up.

I don’t want to get shortbread again this year, maybe chocolate but max budget is again £7. Any ideas please? Even better if I can buy discounted! Thanks 🙏

Does anyone know where I can get a Kaiser Chiefs tshirt or hoodie for a ten year old boy please?

On their official site they only go to small which I will chance if needs be but I'd rather at least an xs if possible.
