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!

Just got some bargain Karrimor boots for DH from Amazon - £34.99 but nearly £90 from Karrimor.

They arrived today and are perfect:

Also pleased with adult DS’s NIKE trainers that arrived today. He had to try them on for size and I practically had to tear them off his feet to save for Xmas, (ditto DH above 😹)

Just came across the Fahlo (sp?) bracelets and wandered what others thought of them? My DS7 loves cheetahs but unsure if he would bother with it, my DP on the other hand is obsessed with penguins so possibly a good idea for him. 🥲

Has anyone spotted pr is expecting a smyths code? Thanks!

I can’t see your referral link on the other page but would to give this a go. Could you add a link or PM me? What is the benefit of the referral? Thank you 🙏🏻

Just a heads up to those of us buying PS5 games , Jurassic world evolution 3 was £10 cheaper , free delivery from Smyths and l ordered it yesterday and it came today !

Done an order with sockshop - bamboo loungewear top, loungewear bottoms, kids bamboo socks 5 pairs, the big 25 socks advent calendar and a pair of boxers for £43.99 delivered ❤️

Has anyone seen any bargains for advent calendars for girls? Looking for something bath bomb shower gel related for DD who’s 9. I’ve got her brothers the Lynx one so want something decent for her x

Had some vouchers off Iceland. Code FIRST15 gives £15 off until end of Nov. Then there’s a new code for Dec.
£25 minimum spend & if order below £40 after discount there is a small basket charge of £4.
free delivery but 1.50 pick & pack charge.

the tubs of quality street etc are £5 so not too much more than elsewhere. I’ve bought chocolate, biscuits, beers etc for gifts & got a few things checked off for my £40.
Also PayPal are offering 10% ‘cashback’ in points if you activate that in the app. And went through TCB too 😅

Are the Hotel Chocolat on amazon likely to have decent dates? I'm assuming the Xmas themed ones should definitely have sufficient date

Sock shop have these discounted socks that come in an individual cracker per sock.
Cracker socks for £9.99

6 pairs per pack, so you could give a pair of socks apiece, and add a packet of sweets/ body spray or similar to make up to your £5 per person target, and still have a couple of pairs of socks left over.

Thanks - I got socks for the guys (we always buy new socks at Christmas) and one of the little waterproof crossbody bags for me which I'll probably decide is from the dog 😉

More socks... Not as bargainaceous as the glitch a couple of years ago, but at half price, works out at just under £1.25 per pair

Disney store has early BF offers of 20% off and includes some new release items (a muppet Christmas Carol cushion, mug, ornament etc went on today and are in the discount).
Click on the black BF pop up to go through to the offer or check if you’ve had the email and use that link otherwise you’ll still see the full price!

@VikingNorthUtsire @Mexicocalling has beaten me to it but Yy the spicery also sell individual spices

I use it a lot, usually very cheap. I pay the annual subscription and get free unlimited standard delivery.

they are also on Quidco for cashback

Which coffee pods does everyone use with the vertuco coffee adapter ?

@zacsGranny I use m&m all the time for kids trainers and clothes but my understanding is they don't do voucher codes at all anymore.

@ProfessorDameMonsterSink 's SPIN20 code works - three mens' sets for £71.98 (95p/pair) and free delivery 🎅

You can also add a free pair of pants or socks at checkout

No! I thought I was smart buying half price £20 sock calendar after Christmas last year and that only 12 pairs. Have kept a whole year for my mum. Although White Stuff socks so maybe better than Sock Shop?

Thank you for the Sockshop codes, I had SPIN10 in my emails, SPIN20 worked, didn’t stack though
and I can confirm SPIN50 isn’t a code.

i’ve had their advent calendar in my basket at £59.99 for weeks and just bought 2 for £60 as the discount worked on Black Friday, very pleased!

@SugarCookieMonsterI desperately need the Muppets Mug! I can’t see how to access the 20% off though? I’d appreciate any help.

@Usernamepleasework a big thank you from me too. My dad was the only person I hadn't bought anything for yet. He is now having a levi birthday (next week) and Christmas 😀

Now tricky DD13 who's items on list jelly cats & new balance are all ones that are out of stock 🙄

Try on your phone or tablet and when you open the site a pop up Black Friday banner should appear. Clicking it should take you to the list of offers.
ETA sent you a PM

Scrolled past all the Sol de Janeiro bargains and now I need some… specifically the perfume sprays. Anyone got any ideas for a bargain??
