Thread 12 - The one where it's All Pants (and socks)

[RainbowZebraWarrior]

Levi's pants and socks, that is. It's also exactly a month until Christmas!

Also, I have to thank @FortnumsWeddingBreakfastTeaPlease for this quote, as it really tickled me: "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." Sadly, it was too long to make the thread title.

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 you think 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!

As we move towards actual Black Friday (does that even exist any more?) the threads tend to move very quickly. It can be helpful to post your bargain in bold. This can be done by adding an asterxix either side of a word with no gap in between. So Levi's would be Levi's

Can anyone explain the Fahlo animal bracelets please? Ive noticed people talking about moving/tracking - whst does this mean?

Any recommendations for services that do onward shipping? My mum's favourite jumper is back on stock as part of an archive sale, but the company only ship to the EU. I've emailed to see if they can arrange posting to the UK, but I've not heard back yet. I feel like I've seen services that will post from the US, but not had this issue with the EU before!

Bit concerned using the voucher incorrectly after the problem with the Anthropologie £20 off voucher .

Can I buy 2 packs of socks at £6 each.

Also sizing is confusing !

usually get them the 7-9 bunch .

Which ones should I get ?

If you’re with Octopus energy they’re doing codes to get a bunch for £8, I think it’s tomorrow. I can try and get you a code otherwise as I won’t be using it.

Oh I’m not with them, if you’re sure you’re not going to use it and a code would work even if I’m not with them that would be incredible! Thank you! ❤️

I have several of their socks and the thick wool ones keep my feet very warm. I can’t stand having cold feet

Happiest of birthdays to you 🎉🥳

just a basic black tee - was on the Black Friday deals tab.

The bracelets themselves don't do anything, they just have beads with one shaped as their chosen animal. They come with an info card though, with details on how to track their chosen animal in the wild. It takes you to a website to track where your animal has been. The money goes towards the conservation of the animals.

Anyone around Manchester:
Fenix (trendy, modern, Greek-style spot) is doing 30% off gift cards - you select the value, min £10.
I checked their T&Cs and so far there’s nothing to stop you using it on their Nest bar deal (1 mezze sharer with 2 cocktails each, £20pp). A swanky drinks out could be approx £30 for two with the reduced gift card. Am getting a digital one for my best mum-friend and myself to use, she’s quite glam and this’ll be right up her street.

If anyone was thinking more about dining there, Jay Rayner reviewed the food (v positively) last year.

40% cashback with Quidco for new accounts at look fantastic along with 50% off some items

I’m behind so sorry if already mentioned.

there’s a free lip conditioner from Gruum worth £14, no purchase necessary and no code. Just postage to pay if you don’t buy £30. They also have lots of Black Friday discounts, so I have bought £30 of presents and got the free lip conditioner and no postage to pay 😊

Levi belt arrived and is very nice. Just waiting for my Celtic & Co gloves which are due to arrive today.

Going outlet shopping IRL tomorrow 😳 to look for joggers and 21st birthday present.

No problem at all. The codes go pretty quick but I’ll try to get you one ☺️

A cinema voucher for the man who likes movies?

Some good offers on books 4 people, 20% extra on sale books, cocomelon book advent £5.99 etc

Pooch and mutt have 35% off and two free gifts (including £8.99 dog toy) with code blackfriday.

ahh great - thanks. I love this idea!

I've found Next flowers have had some cheaper options in the past

@Ness123 how about a coffee voucher (Costa or whatever you have locally)
A powerbank? I bought this one on a recommendation from this thread - it had a voucher box to bring the price down further which is not showing for me now but that could be because I've already used it powerbank
A water bottle - Smash are fab, keep drinks cold for hours even in 30 degrees.
Rucksack or sports kit bag

Fabulous planning are doing free gifts when you spend different amounts, plus also they have a ‘lucky dip’ offer if you like a bit of excitement!

Just nipped into ASDA 1 LITRE BAILEYS £10

Friends teenage daughter wish list item: "the M&S dupe fragrance in a pink bottle " - which one does she mean ??? - it can't be that "new" as she had tried it before they went on holiday in June - any ideas (?) thank you

Pooch and mutt now 50% off & two free gifts with BF50-6D1J

There is one in a pink/red bottle called winter nights that I understand I a dupe of baccarat rouge. There could be other dupes though. I think they are included in the 25% discount at the moment.

Don’t suppose anyone has seen the Pets Alive Mommy Bunny anywhere for less than £20?

I’ve been watching it for a while and probably just need to accept that I’ll have to pay full price, but that’s not really in the spirit of things is it 😂
