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!

There were some papier products on Anthropologie too if you have a voucher to use. I got a lovely initial notebook using the voucher last week.

Daimyum · 25/11/2025 19:39

Thanks for your ideas.. amazing

On the Asda note if anyone is after Zuru hatching toy turtle it’s cheapest in Asda, got it today for £12!

JustJonah have them in stock. I've ordered from them before and they are legit and good (gift shop in Cornwall)

I ordered from Just Jonah and their service was great.

Quick question... has anyone got the £20 Anthropologie voucher to work on the full price jellycats today? It worked for me earlier in the week but just tried to order another on my husband's account and even though I'm signed in and it says it's applied it's still not taking it off... wondering if they've made them exempt?

@blueberryfields same for me today, I live chat and they said jellycats were mistakenly not exempt but should have been.

Bugger. Thought that might be the case. Suppose I should just be grateful for my one tiny coffee cup bag charm!

Very niche, but there are photo customisable dice from Cerulean Wolf with 20% off on Etsy.

D6 and D20 (£6.04 each with free P&P) along with complete D&D sets (£33).
You can pick the colour of the numbers, and send the photo to be included within the dice.

DH has a set now ordered with the faces of the DC and me 😂

Thanks for that, I'm ordering some for my daughter (with a photo of the cat)

Well it's not going to be the one where we found the fucking flamingo.

Honestly I'm starting to despise the stupid, elusive, constipated thing.

We haven't found the Shitting Flamingo, but a previous poster did find the Pissed Flamingo wine holder.
I'm trying not to imagine what your gloriously alliterative 'Fucking Flamingo' might look like, but that might be going a bit too far, even for mumsnet 😂

I also love the flamingo that escaped the zoo and moved to France. Maybe that’s where the shitting flamingo is? Searching for a reasonably priced chateaux neuf and working out how to bring home a wheel of Brie without being raided by customs? Whilst shitting?

Puffalicious · 25/11/2025 20:19

Caved and ordered from Levis. Got a sherpa jacket for DS19 which was originally £120 for £59 delivered. If the TCB tracks I'll get another £9 back and 590 coins (£5) towards next purchase. Pretty pleased. Now I hope he likes it & doesn't give it the side-eye Christmas day 🙄🫣

watchuswreckthemic · 25/11/2025 20:26

Weird benefit stacking thing deal on. My order on the left with the white background and you use code REDUGIFT to get the decent size samples. This was on a FB link, I have no idea what if anything the poster gets by using their code. I’m still impressed with £15 for a decent haul!

Do you have a link for these? Thanks

There is £5 off a £25 spend with a referral link which may stack with the codes you’ve posted? I’ve popped my link on the referral thread if anyone fancies trying.

This worked for me, thank you @Elphaba17 All 3 codes stacked. Great savings and a couple of free gifts I can use for stocking fillers too.

@Moonlightfrog @BooRadleyIsFree totally second the recommendation for Papier. I’ve been using it for a few years and have some absolutely stunning notebooks and stationery from there. It’s my go to place for gifts. You’ll also find a referral link on the other board. Should stack with the 30% (ish) off this week.

There doesn’t appear to be a papier referral on the new thread. I’d appreciate a link if you have a referral code.

Phoenix321 · 25/11/2025 20:56

Had 200 loyalty points on Charlotte Tilbury which gave me £10 off a £50 spend reward. So with the 25% off sitewide plus the reward what should have been £86 came down to £54.50

Thanks for this. Got my niece the blusher pallette and looks like 5 mini samples coming too for £15.10 delivered.

A tub of chocolates like Celebrations or Hero’s - having a whole tub for yourself feels like such a treat when you’re young and don’t have your own money yet! Could also throw in a scratch card as well for a bit of fun

Bear in mind none of them could claim the scratch card money if they won it!

I assume there is a parent in the picture who could claim it for them, no? My auntie always bought us a scratch card growing up, was good fun!

Im pretty sure they don’t do the refer a friend anymore unfortunately.
