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

1000 replies

RainbowZebraWarrior · 25/11/2025 20:27

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

Does anyone think flying tiger will do Black Friday discounts, I can’t remember last year. I’ve filled a basket but I’m reluctant to check out!

Not sure about online but last year in-store was either 30 or 40 percent off absolutely everything on the Friday if you're able to get there.

I only remember because had to be in a city on Black Friday, was dreading it but I walked past a tiger and couldn't resist getting get all of the stocking stuff for a bargain.

Does anyone have any ideas for a reduction on ELF please? Loathe to spend after last year's glitch haha

IlovePond · 26/11/2025 08:06

@Pinkladymel - ELF do reductions on spends over £35 for key workers. Occasionally they give £5 or £10 rewards to account holders so it’s worth signing up to their Rewards programme.You can also get points towards freebies/money off for writing reviews, checking out their TikTok, etc.

ELF is also stocked at Boots, so sometimes it gets discounted there or at least you can get Advantage points with an order.

Anyone looking for a stanley they currently have 30% off selected styles with code EARLY30 some nice ones but not the one i need 🤪

Georgieporgie29 · 26/11/2025 08:13

@Stelmosfire1 thank you. I’ve had something in my basket since the weekend but sadly no email as yet. I’ll give it another couple of days ☺️

UntamedShrew · 26/11/2025 08:14

Thank you for all the slippers ideas on the previous thread - I can’t find the messages now to quote post but I’ve ended up getting some Gumbies which look great. And a much better price (and company, I suspect) than Birkenstocks.

One more request for the Papier code please, I couldn't find it last night in the referral thread. Thanks!

This is the best price I can find for Gucci Flora Magnolia, 50 ml EDP. My daughter asked for it and it was almost £75 in Boots. Just shy of £50 from The Perfume Shop. I ordered mine yesterday, free delivery if you sign up to their website, and it has already been dispatched 😊🎄

I think someone said they've stopped doing referral codes. The BF sale is still good though. They have student beans and graduate discount of 20% off, but those codes will cancel out any discount above 20% (so if BF price is 30%, using student code will make it only 20% off). I tried using SB discount last night but it didn't stack with the BF offer.

Thank you!! Just grabbed this - what a bargain!

mumonthehill · 26/11/2025 08:46

The one hundred stars email has arrived. I think you have to use the link in the email for access. But only 25% off clothes should not as good as their post Christmas sale.

Does anyone have any ideas for bargainous ways to hang a map that is 100cm x 89cm please? One of the Marvellous Maps that were recommended on a previous thread would make the perfect present for someone we know, but I cannot find a frame/poster hanger that doesn't cost way more than the map itself and it's taking it out of budget. I feel like gifting the map rolled up won't be as nice. Thank you

If it's ok not as an exact fit would a pin board work? The ones with wooden frames and cork inside that you can drawing pin messages onto.

Anyone else struggling to get their Anthropologie £20 discount to work? I am logged in and have a full price item. It says it has been applied but it isn't taking any money off.

GiddyDog · 26/11/2025 09:11

@LabubuLover saw some K pop DH Funkos in stock in Selfridges at the weekend (actually hid them on the shelf because DS has birthday money to spend and I've already got them for Christmas!).

I think I’m going to have to relent and get some Nike Crew socks for tween. Is there a specific type or place where they aren’t a ridiculous price for white socks?

10% off at JD if that helps? HSD901240511
it's annoying as BLC had 20% off the other week but they are so down to 10-% off.

SugarCookieMonster · 26/11/2025 09:18

On a previous thread someone was looking for Heinz Baked Beans items. I’ve seen a Christmas decoration on Anthropologie in the sale plus if you sign up for Anthro perks you can get £20 off your first order.
They had other Heinz products too.

Shop the studio THIE Heinz Beans Felt Ornament and more Anthropologie at Anthropologie. Read reviews, compare styles and more.

I struggled with it too. Ended up closing the page then went back in, logged in again and it worked fine. No idea why. Might be worth trying that if you haven’t already.

Nordic socks have 50% off. Their wool crew socks are lovely but not at full price

Maybe late to the party on this one but would recommend checking out your local charity shops. Often get large picture frames donated when people are moving house/redecoration for Christmas. (you may have to remove a previous picture, obvs)

Don't know about online but I popped in my local store last night and they had lots of thing reduced, Christmas stuff not just out of season things.
