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

My cheese is being packed apparently

@LabubuLover - what does it look like?

I had a quick Google and the top choices were something that looked like a llama with a unicorn horn and a frankly terrifying demon fairy thing with a huge head.

Was it either of those or a literal plum shaped plushie or something else entirely?

@Carrie76 @Sasha07

Thanks for the advice. I’ve posted on the general Facebook, but it hasn’t been approved for some reason. I’ve tried the whinfell one to see if I’ll have more luck.

And it’s effectively a fluffy sugarplum toy. I can’t even find a pic, but it’s a fluffy version of the pic attached.

@LabubuLoverare you sure there’s an actual sugarplum plush? The plush that comes with the book seems to be a reindeer called ‘Clove’?

Broken12 · 02/12/2025 12:49

@LabubuLover was it a jellycat one?

I'm not sure if anyone is a wax melt aficionado on this thread, but I saw this seller recommended on the Small Business Supporters thread and wanted to re-share here as her wax melts are to die for. There's a 12% discount if you spend £20 at the shop & free postage so pretty good for last minute small gifts and stocking fillers if you have a few people to buy for.

And separately, if anyone knows where I can find a snood that isn't cashmere wool or cotton please do share!

Did someone still want the smal Jellycat smudge monkry

https://fuzzyfriendsworld.com/products/smudge-monkey?pos=1&&sid=dbafbc527&ss=r

this site seems to have a few jellycats that are hard, if not damn near impossible to get. And lots on sale, which rarely happens. I’d be wary….

Puffalicious · 02/12/2025 13:19

I deleted the Crocs offer on my images & now I need one!! Can anyone remember it?! Typical.

Thanks

That's a Chinese store front. They're probably fakes.

My parcels from York fitness on the way as well after someone posted the great deal on a weight bench and weights on here. Thsnk you for the deal and idea.
Any other ideas for a 13 year old who is keen on weights/ calisthenics. We have quite a bit of stuff anyway but ideas for gifts would be much appreciated.

BeaLola · 02/12/2025 13:30

Apologies - don't want people to get scammed, will only post if I see any IRL

One to avoid I’m afraid. Here are their Trustpilot reviews.

What does anyone think the chances are of the 6/7 hoodies actually arriving?

I'm going for an optimistic 5-7%! it's still showing as tracking but given the listings have now gone and I reckon it was the same seller as the last lot ..... and it was 99p! ....I'd be very surprised if they turned up..... But I quite like the "will they, won't they"!

Mine have been dispatched,so who knows? 🤣

Surely is a 6-7% chance 😂

omg are you my daughter @SpottyBumPony?? 😂😂😂 I totally missed that opportunity!! (sadly I suspect the chances are not even that high! )

Blummin' Deans sorting out their Lidl order instead of sending me the hamper I ordered weeks ago! 😁

Did you order a Christmas hamper or the black Friday one? Last year the Christmas hamper I ordered in early November was one that would only be dispatched in December unless you emailed them and asked for it earlier - perhaps worth a check in your confirmation email?

Donsyb · 02/12/2025 14:14

Sorry if this has already been mentioned (I’m avoiding these threads now as I’ve finished my Christmas shopping and if I keep reading these, I’ll just buy more stuff I don’t need 😂) but they had tubs of Celebrations at my local
co-op today for £4.95 with a membership card (instead of £7)

I was wondering for a while if moose-leaf was a particular kind of chai tea 😁

Thanks! I'll have a look 😊

The one with the moose- leaf tea must be a contender for the next thread 😂

What about a door bar for pull/chin ups? Argos had one for £17.50 (half price) but it looks quite low - too low for my 13yo. There's others but I couldn't find a decent one less than £60

WimbyAce · 02/12/2025 14:25

Has anyone seen any nice toiletry packages/deals for men? Normally get one for my OH.

Any tips for secret santa £15 approx. Something indulgent for someone who is into clean, environmentally friendly stuff like aluminum free deodorant etc. Anyone tried the Fussy body washes etc?

Tropic is all natural ingredients, vegan etc and they have some bits at £15 or less (including a deodorant cream)

Boots have some good sets. I got one in £10 Tuesday reduced from £20.

It is a Christmas hamper - and to be fair they have said it will be sent from 1st December - I'm just very, very impatient 😄
