Decided to combine both thread title suggestions :)

Thanks @RainbowZebraWarrior for helping me out and I'm so excited that I was on my computer and she tagged me so I could set this one up - hurrah!

Feeling super festive today after getting the decorations up and visiting Father Christmas. Exciting news is the Christmas bedding and jumpers are all down from the loft and being washed, so I'll soon be able to walk around in my 'I [heart] Christmas' jumper Xmas Grin

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

I know someone mentioned the other day (thank you) but just to repost in case someone else missed it, the entertainer have buy 2 toys get 1 free at the moment. I've just placed an order for a load of bakugan and akedo, all £5 each for my boys. Some of them are £17.99 on amazon EACH. Great for stocking and party gifts. The offer is for everything and ends at midnight.

Does any have the outsmarted game? Just debating getting it for playing over Christmas but can’t decide my boys are 7&12.

Why didn’t I think of that?🤦🏻‍♀️

Mandarina33 · 30/11/2025 22:18

@winewolfhowls thanks a lot for the ohhdeer recommendation. I got notebooks for my brother, SIL and one for myself because I can't resist notebooks. Can't wait for them to be delivered

Pinkbox · 30/11/2025 22:19

Has anyone seen any decent black Friday deals for jellycat toys (medium size not the newborn gifts)?

I’ve never even used chat gpt or heard of it 🤣😅

PeoniesAreMyFavouriteFlower · 30/11/2025 22:27

I’ve been trying and trying to get the cheese advent calendar offer, but it’s not working for me. I’ve added 2 gift boxes and then the advent calendar, but it’s still £23.99. I looked for the “you might also like” window at my basket/checkout, and it was for crisps. I added them, and now there are no more offers! What am I doing wrong? I’m using a mobile, if that makes a difference.

Carrie76 · 30/11/2025 22:28

@whereareyousleep we have outsmarted, its good fun. My kids are 10, 13 & 15, it has questions suitable for all ages.

@nicky2512 you might already be sorted but my mum is addicted to Wasgij jigsaws - the trick is that you have to create the picture by working out what it is the people in the box picture are looking at and then assemble that!

this is a random example of one just in case it helps.

@whereareyousleep I recommend Outsmarted as a game but on Christmas Day last year their servers could not cope and we couldn’t play as planned. Lots of people had the same problem and the game basically crashed. No issues since but if you’re relying on a Christmas Day game I’d go for something else unless they’ve seriously upped their capacity this year.
