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

@MissLizzyB - that’s disappointing- mine came within a week.

I was going to do another order but when I went on the site they said they were closed for two weeks, (for holidays, I think, back in October). That made me think they must be a tiny business.

Maybe they are very busy with orders. They should have answered your email, though.

Another possibility is that it’s wandering around the postal system - it’s that time of year!

Roblox unofficial 2026 annual is down to £3.60 on Amazon, could be good to go with a Roblox voucher

Brilliant thank you. I will try that.

I couldn't find anything on Chinasearch but I have used them in the past to replace items from our wedding present china and been very pleased with the service.

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....

I had similar. No reply to email, did have a reply to a contact form but nothing after, then tried texting the mobile number on the site and after a few messages and confirming my address they turned up. Because they aren’t sent tracked I think they do have some go missing in the post. So worth trying the contact number.

My Fahlo arrived a few days ago. I ordered on the 25th! Confusingly all the cards were wrapped in Lion wrapping so I had to open them to work out which card went with each bracelet (I emailed them and they explained that all cards are now wrapped and the wrapping doesn’t match the contents)

I ordered PJs from Anthropologie but I’m sending them back. I stupidly it was a pj set and they were a bargain at £15 but it was just the pants and they are super thin so I won’t wear them.

anthroperks £20 off code is not working for me- sigh!! I have 1 non sale item in the basket for £25 but it’s just not deducting!

MissLizzyB · 03/12/2025 21:00

Thanks @user1471546203 and@IlovePond. The post here is terrible so that could easily be the reason. I'll try contacting via text tomorrow.

I feel Anthropologie may have cottoned on to us...

Are you definitely signed in to your Anthropologie account? It won't work unless logged in. I realised this after 20 minutes of trying!

For all you KPop Demon Hunters fans, not a bargain but, I've just seen that Vans are releasing some themed shoes.

I want to use the anthropologie code but everything is oober expensive, or under the threshold or now has 10% off. What have people bought (besides jellycats as I dont want one of those and this is for me) I am on the cusp of giving up which seems really daft

I got a Barbour scarf for my family secret santa (budget £30 total, so the scarf was £20 of that after discount)

Slowlyslowlysurely · 03/12/2025 21:55

Here for hive help… my littlest DD has Jellycat bunny in snowsuit at the top of her list and is certain FC will be delivering this. However, it’s out of stock everywhere I’d trust. Anybody know anywhere I can get a safe, genuine one? Thanks

SmashingGemini · 03/12/2025 21:56

@MaybeItsTimeForMeNow I bought a This Works gift set priced at £20 and just paid for postage. That was this afternoon and it went through with no problems.

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

Use the artist presale! Password is middle25

I'm going 🎉

Are the Anthroperks just for new members or can you get the £20 for existing ones?

pricey though!
ah sorry it’s OOS, im sure it wasn’t when I just checked but it’s been a long day!!

Puffalicious · 03/12/2025 00:07

Of course, Blue Light too. Also a PP popped a discount code on for 20% so that'll help. It's for DS1 who is to buy for DNiece in the family secret Santa & he suddenly decided that fleece-lined Crocs were the solution! Of course, he's now MIA (student!) & no doubt everything will be OOS or back up in price before he orders anything 🙈

What was the stackable crocs 20% code please? I missed it

Sleeposaurus · 03/12/2025 23:31

O thi k it is @chocolateteabag who was looking for heated trousers. A few years ago after a reccomendation on here I bought DH fleece lined waterproof trousers from craighoppers. He finds them great when doing the garden or out in the cold. They mean he can comfortably stay out for much longer.

Yalz · 03/12/2025 23:32

I bought one of the 3 Boots star gift sets mentioned upthread today for which you get £10 worth of points as today’s Advent offer.

Adding the code GLAMOUR got £5 off, so it was £39.95, but ‘worth’ £137 according to them.

However, the £10 worth of points was all I got, not the standard 3 points for £1 as well. It also didn’t give me the double points I’d loaded onto my card.

Still, 11 of their “Pro” beauty items for less than £30 seemed fair enough.

Serenitesanta · 03/12/2025 23:36

In Anthropologie to use my £20 I just got an £18 wonder skin lip stain and only paid £4 postage
I very nearly gave up too 🤪
There was a nice brown Ilia top I was considering for £25 and an Iconic makeup set but that was £35 - I was only buying something as it was ‘free’ so I was happy to get something I wanted even under the £20 value
