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

ooh thank you! That’s a bargain. Have sent to DH as a suggestion for me!!

Does anyone know an email address I can use to contact sock shop? My order has just arrived and is missing the big sock advent calendar 😔

Are there any full price items left on Anthropologie? I can only see reductions on everything now.

Anyone had an elephant Fahlo bracelet? Do they move much?

They have a freephone number 0800 019 5667
there are a few options here too @hugsandpugs

Someone was asking about SportPursuit - it’s all sale items and there was Didriksons jackets. They currently have CK pants for £20 for 3. I’ve used them often and they’re good.

Im after a Richard Ham mug from Emma Bridgewater but £26 is a lot to pay for a jokey gift!! I’ve left in my basket and they’ve not sent a code… does anyone have any ideas please??

Cowshed have 15% off site wide for black friday, but have 50% off their best seller sets

Neal’s Yard have some lovely little sets in their Black Friday offers

My DH needs a white elephant gift value £20 for a team of young women (20s, 30s, 1x40)

What do you think of this journal?

My alternative is a Sol de Janeiro gift set but my 19yo DS says that's for young teenagers (even though I'd be happy to receive it!)

Does anyone else have Barbie Dreamhouse delayed from Amazon? Mine was meant to come today 😭

Also Morrisons have 10% off minimum £40 spend for BLC on Friday. You have to get a barcode in the app on Friday.

Got excited to see I can get 25% discount at ELF with my NHS but it just won't verify me! So frustrating. Why can't they just be on the blue light app like everyone else? Grumble grumble haha!

It is lovely @Oneborneverydecade

alternatively other considerations could be, depending on the office vibe ofc, something like this or this?

@Arregaithel thank you

My daughter has that microphone ha and I'm now going to get that waffle maker for my 13yo DS!

I'm playing it safe tbh, it's a corporate role and I don't know much about any of them except that one doesn't drink/eats halal

That journal is lovely, I’ve just ordered it for me from the cat 😂

my Levi’s order is out for delivery and my 67 jumpers have been dispatched 🤞🏼

I need some Christmas pjs for dd who has a 33in inside leg. The panda ones are too short from the socks shop.
Any tall people able to help (as I’m not)
i looked at men’s so could go plain men’s but wanted pattered if I could. And not tartan

In return I still have my Lakeland vouchers

They have loads of reductions currently- worth a look if you haven’t already.

Also sometimes just before Christmas they reduce more- may be better to go instore though if you need for the big day!

In better news my Levi socks have arrived 🥳 and they’ve sent me off a £10 birthday voucher so I’ll have a nosey what I can use that on.

Sockshop have got back to me really quick and said they will send the advent calendar out today as it’s missing from the order! Thought the package looked a bit small when I answered the door to the plate this morning 😅

@lifelongfrugaleer my son's are tall too and I was struggling to get them anything that didn't have their ankles on show! I asked on here and some posters mentioned BoohooMan and I've been eternally grateful! I've just had a look and they have a tall section for women too. Might be worth seeing if there's anything there that you think she'd like ☺️ I think it's £2 for returns though but have a look and see what you think.

Does anyone have an Uggs discount code or know where they might be reduced? The teen DD is desperate for them!
Thanks for the Hollister code. I had missed. I had a basket ready set up as teen DS doesn’t stop growing!
I think it was @stepfordwifeywho said about giving Fahlo bracelets as table presents to grandchildren. You might want to look into setting them up in advance. That way, they can see where the animals are now and, if you do it a couple of days in advance, where they have been. It also allows you to check that they are all working. BUT check that you can swap the tracking to another device so they can then do it themselves at home. I can’t quite remember how it all worked

Thanks for all the suggestions for hanging the giant map. Off to investigate...

Jd sports Black Friday sale has started with some good discounts on items! Just bought a bunch of clothes DS needed who is almost a teen

You could try Long Tall Sally. I haven't bought from them in a while, but they do pyjama bottoms with a 34" leg. Slightly too long for me, but I find pyjamas do tend to shorten a bit in the wash.

@Cuwins DD's elephant. Worth noting that elephant tracking is delayed by 4 months to protect them from poachers, so it's not a live location.

Mines shows as on track for tomorrow (same day I was told originally). When I went into my orders there was a link to track the shipping with DPD so maybe check in there as it is likely just the courier rather than Amazon
