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

I use an app to keep track of mine

I'm also having to use notes on my phone to keep track of deliveries and returns.'
BTW my Whistlefish cards arrived today and they really are gorgeous - even the packaging is stunning!

Apologies if I missed this before but does anyone know a discount code for a white fox hoodie? I missed the brilliant deal the other day because I wasn’t sure but of course my daughter now definitely wants one!😩

If you are buying for a Harry Potter fan, House of Spells have 20% off until tomorrow with free postage.

Does anyone know what the holy grail gift set is on Elf? I can't seem to find what it is.

Does anyone have any recommendations for nice chai tea? I got my BIL some Teapigs loose chai last year, so wanted to try something different this year! Are individual bags better? Or does loose seem more "premium" do you think?

What one do you use? X

It’s not a gift set, it’s just 3 items they add to the basket. A lip gloss, a lip liner and a face cream. If you add items to the basket until you get to £25 it will automatically add them.

My hi smile orders have arrived! Really impressed actually - they look great and the two minute timer function will be great for DC to remind them how long to brush them for 😅

anyone know if the offer is still going and could someone potientally help me with the riddle tonight? I’m so impressed by them that I want one myself now 🤣

I've picked up some (metal) storage baskets from primark for the (little) hampers I have put together. I'm hoping they might get reused making them more eco than some of the kits you can get. I'm not sure I would have a use for a big shallow wicker one you get in the kits. There seems to be lots of choice online (didn't know primark had gone online till this thread). Really pleased with how nmmine have worked out and they were fun to put together as the kids actually got involved too.

I use Gift List and have for the past few years, it’s really good!

Charity shops quite often have baskets in various shapes and sizes?

Thanks reastie. I took a chance in the cheese 🤞

@MrsClausCanCanCan I have a relative who is a chai tea fanatic and has tried many- Tea India Masala Chai Tea Bags are the best (I’m told)

I use gift list from the app store. Has a picture of a red gift with a yellow bow. I use it every year to keep track to everything

Thanks again to the person who wrote on here about the Levi’s birthday offer! Just ordered this tshirt for teen DS for 80p including p&p!

Thanks I’ll have a look for this! 😊

Thank you! Just got one for my DS

I'm really sad and have a spreadsheet. It's evolved over the years but has columns that are colour coded depending on if its ordered, arrived, returned or wrapped. I also have columns for RRP of the item, price I paid and the saving I made. I really do need to get out more!

Hooded owls do lovely potion kits for the bath. My 7&9 year old are obsessed. They are pricey for essentially soap but I bought through Not on the High Street and was able to use blue light discount. Hooded owls actual website are running a Black Friday discount which I think finishes tonight. And you get free shipping for your first order

Im in hospital so having to rely on family members searching for parcels left in bins, behind bins🤣 I think I need to stop ordering for a while.

Oh wow! Thats mega organised! I’d love to do the same if I knew how to do a spreadsheet 😅

@hugsandpugsI use an app called Gift List. You put in the recipients and then add gifts. You can select from idea/bought/arrived/wrapped. You can include photos, web links and costs too if you want. I find it useful.

Oh no way! Hope you’re ok! I blame mumsnet with all the bargains 🤣

That sounds great! Saves me scouring through emails! ☺️
