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.
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 swear by silicone heel protectors for breaking in DMs. I’ve got the kind of feet that blister at the hint of stress so I wear them over thick socks and pray!!

Real life shopping bargain - B&M are selling Squishmallows Bluetooth headphones at £15 each or two for £20. They're still £25 each on Amazon.

Hi, for those of you who bought those Anthropologie pjs, did you find they came up big? I am usually a M in pj bottoms but don’t want them too small.

Thanks

I have spent ages over the years trying to get more than one Grumm free sample and never managed it. Tried last week and tried just now - how do you do this magic?

At stupid o’clock last night I bought a Twining’s tea calendar for £5.99 from Amazon. They are promising delivery by 1/12:

My daughter has asked Santa for a musical jewellery box that plays the dance of the sugar plum fairy.

i thought it would be easy but they all seem to play swan lake, pachebels canon or fur Elise.

ive found one on Amazon but its very gaudy.

can anyone find anything more classic??

Do you mean you can't get the freebies or you can't get them more than once? If it's an offer with multiple choices I use the same account and I can buy the same option multiple times. If it's one without any options (for example the 4 fragrance offer) I use a different account when I want to buy it again otherwise it glitches and won't let me. This link has all of the offers available if you want to sift through and see what is best. Let me know if you need any further help or anything else!

Re: Gruum multiple freebies, I searched for "free bundle" and that brought up the free suncare bundle. I added that to the basket and the lip conditioner vanished so I then put in the direct URL for the lip conditioner and added it again. Both freebies then showed up in the basket. Hopefully this works for you too :)

Gruum - I went through this link to get a festive soap set for free and then the pop up to add the lip oil for free came up so I added that too
Haven’t checked out as I don’t need them but looks like you can get a ‘£23’ set and a ‘£14’ lip oil for the £5 p&p

@IlovePond I ordered the Twinings calendar on Friday and it arrived yesterday. I do have Prime though

Thanks @CarrotVan - I am looking forward to it!

@YouCanLetItGo tou can get Pokemon cards in Waterstones, rymans, sometimes B&M, Tesco and Morrisons have them at their cigarette/lottery kiosks, WHSmiths and Asda. The tins are now £14.99 though. (Answer courtesy of my adult collector dd)

Is it the dinner set style anthropologie pyjamas everyone is buying? They look quite thin does anyone know?

There's a universal £5 bonus on quidco today if you sign up quick (£15 minimum spend)

Not Christmassy but I got my usual no7 concealer plus a no7 tubing mascara plus a free palette for just over £16. Both on special offer, 15% cashback plus the bonus. If it all tracks it will have cost me about £9 - I've been wanting to try the mascara for ages and it's £15 full price.

Might be useful if you have a no7 fan to buy for (advent calendars are also 15% cashback and there are the usual extra advantage card offers).

@MaybeItsTimeForMeNow - yes, they do look quite thin. I don’t really need any new pj bottoms but they look nice but I don’t want the faff of ordering and returning if too small.

@CalliopePlantainthats really helpful! Wouldn’t have thought to look in some of those. Thanks to your DD!

Thats what I'm thinking @IlovePond I am trying so hard not to jump on every good deal this year (lesson learned from previous years when I had cupboards full of stuff 😅)

@MaybeItsTimeForMeNow - I need to do the same! Anthro also charge for returns.

I’m also thinking they would be ridiculously long on my short little legs!

I go out for one day and I've missed a thread!
Nice to see you Reastie.
Someone was asking about the anthro perks email but I couldn't reply on the full thread. It looked like this...

Harrods have 10% off Jellycats. It’s free click and collect to harrods beauty shops too I think.

Gruum - I have tried everything and I am only allowed 1 free sample at a time in my basket. If I add a second - however I add it, the first one disappears.

Does the £20 voucher work with the sale pjs? I just tried applying mine as I’m about to check out but the price didn’t change.

Only works on full price items I’m afraid!

Does anyone have any recommendations of things that have been good buys from Amazon Haul please?

Does anyone know if the b&m 2 for £20 toys have gone to 3 for £20 at all please?
