Thread 13 - the one with a cheesy advent calendar of 67 jumpers

[Reastie]

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

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.

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

Thanks so much for this. I got a snowman snood- perfect stocking filler for only £2.99 postage. My boys are all mountain bikers, so use snoods/ Buffs constantly. This will raise a smile on the trails this winter.

My cheese calendar has finally arrived & was delivered to a ‘safe place’ as I was at work. Said safe place was the recycling bin…..🙄

Ah, it's so frustrating isn't it when you get a deal and then afterwards find a much better deal! I've had it a few times.

Laughing at this. My order was waiting in my porch when I got home from work. 5 truckles are for other people, so found room in the fridge. The calendar is in the garage as it is baltic in there & it's for Ex- DH, so don't care if he gets cheese poisoning. 🤣(He's actually a very decent guy & great dad- we've been apart 16 years & are good friends. He's got a broken hand right now & I felt sorry for him as he's going off his head at home not working. I thought cheese would cheer him up).

Meant to report that I was at Flying Tiger yesterday & picked up some decent things for stocking fillers:

Sudoku toilet roll (DS1 studying Maths & his flatmates will appreciate this!)
Little rubber animals you flick around the place (3 sets so they can flick at each other 🙄).
A flicky game shaped like an old fashioned Game Boy
Little lights - been searching for a small set to replace on a much-loved decoration.

Had a lovely time mooching.

You’re welcome. I got the snowman snood for my son’s stocking too as he’s off skiing next year.

@DaffodilsInAJamjar please don't get one of those masks - they are really very dangerous and no reputable company would ever allow a snorkeller to use one.

Perfect! It's a great deal.

@EastCoastExile - could you please tell me what The Tour 2026 is? I’d like to get one of the tshirts but am worried about wearing it and promoting something I wouldn’t want to! Thank you!

Thank you @FurForksSake so they do exist outside Amazon! Maybe a little too £££ for me
ill look at merino stuff i think!

TK Maxx have some great bits in the new in section atm. The Farmacy Green clean balm is only £15.
I might be imagining it but did someone ask for a book about maps. This looks really nice and for a good price if so:

THank you for the snoods - I have a good friend who is a parkrunner so have ordered one for her and DD is v sporty so have sent one direct to her for end of term CHristmas festivities...

Oh this is so useful! My DM has a china set which is missing something and we’ve been looking for a replacement for years. I’m going to message them!!

I know this is cheeky and I have nothing to offer in return bargain wise but DS desperate to see Jimmy Eat World in Cardiff next year. Does anyone have an o2 presale code please they'd be willing to share? I'd even pay for it! Thank you

Just had a notification that RM are expecting my Fahlo bracelets.

No, not at all, I got it for you especially. Enjoy ☺️

I’ve got o2 priority, does that help? Sorry, I never use it for tickets!

Thank you this is amazing and worked for me 😁

Me too, hopefully they are catching up

Right you lovely lot.
Has anybody ever brought an Aromatherapy necklaces? If so, any suggestions would be gratefully received.
If possible, I would like to avoid Amazon as the recipient prefers little independent businesses if possible.
Bonus points if you can also suggest somewhere to get aromatherapy oils from! Xx

Food for thought about the snorkel masks- I never realised they could be so dangerous! My kids have used them for years, at home and abroad. I was looking to replace one which broke this summer. Perhaps I had better not!

Ooh thanks! My kids fancy gravitrax. Don’t suppose you know how long the £5 off takes to come through?

I've been waiting 2 and a half weeks for the photo glasses cleaning cloths. Is this the same as others had to wait? I've emailed for an update but had no response....

@CapybaraParty I don't think it is a code with O2 it's just early access.

Tried to send you a PM but it doesn't allow it for some reason @CapybaraParty
