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!

Thanks all for the sock shop inspo. I went for gifts and bought lovely things for myself instead.

Thanks @Johaanah- my DD will sniff out it’s fake. Anyone know the cheapest way to get a real Owala?

Do it! I got them on Very on a Black Friday deal. They've put them back up now 🙄 but keep an eye for them tumbling again.

I have also ordered him bright yellow normal Crocs for rugby training showers 😆. Very silly!

Men's slippers and the ick factor is a very personal matter in my experience - one woman's "cosy and cute" is another's "omg my husband looks like a grandpa"

We quite like Lambland here though. They're proper sheepskin and very cosy. They also have 15-20% off atm for Black Friday.

It was @Untamedshrew who was looking. They sound ideal!

My DD went for a S where she would usually be an XS - but she did want it nice and loose fit. So I guess it depends on that - wouldn't say it's essential to go up a size, but definitely if you think they'd want the baggy fit...

Loads on Amazon haul really cheap - and bonus if you haven’t used the £10 off a £20 spend yet

I've been dithering over what size Oddballs pyjamas to order as the small top looks too small according to measurements but the medium bottoms are too large!!! How annoying! DH is a small in Chelsea Peers and Next but the chest size is larger than Oddballs small. But as I said, medium waist on Oddballs is too big. What do I do??!!!

untamedShrew I got DH some Ugg Tasman ones from Brandalley.

For anyone looking ladies slippers I swear by the Just sheepskin ones. I get them every year from TK Maxx and they are just so lovely and comfy and wear really well. They come boxed too so make a great gift for
less than £30.

PBSALE25 gets 70% off 8x6 inch hard cover photo books on Snapfish. That’s around £5.70 by my calculations (£18.99 full price).

@Moonlightfrog my dd is about size 8/10. In hoodies she’s got s/m. Which gives her the right over sized look. It is pretty fitted on size 16 me! I hope that helps!

Lots of good discounts at Scottish Fine Soaps for Black Friday. They have soaps and hand creams that could be easily put into a little self care hamper or used as stocking fillers. Postage free over £40

It’s really big! Even the smallest size is a very generous fit on me, and I’m a ladies size 12

The £1 hi-smile electric toothbrush is ready. Click on the yellow banner over the top of the screen, the answer is Cotton Candy.

I got the toothbrush, 3 mystery toothpastes and a whitening one for £16 delivered.

Thank you @PearlTeapot finally got one!

@Mokeytree I got the hotel chocolat batons on amazon and the had a Dec 25 expiry so a bit disappointing. Customer chat refunded me without return though 😊

For the lady looking at the rug in Dunelm. I just saw on instagram that they are doing 20% cashback with Top cashback.

Can’t seem to checkout on hi smile! 😬

Amazon has some micromallow squishmallow packs on offer, if that might work

Anyone know what the riddle is for tonight?

Does anyone have any recommendations for something nice for my 18 month old goddaughter, please? I know that's vague, but my kids are older and I'm out of the loop, and I'd like a toy instead of just clothes. Any suggestions welcome please.

@imnottoofussed thank you, we selected one but they won’t ship it to us, gutted 😔
