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

Not sure who wanted it and it’s incredibly tricky to get to if you’re not down this way!
Kew Gardens have the jellycat frog tree. There’s a few of them, they are very cute (and grumpy)

mumonthehill · 30/11/2025 20:06

I had a huge box of ferrero rocher delivered today which if I am honest I do not remember ordering....

In the market for a small Christmas tree gift for an elderly relative, anyone have any recommendations? I remember a code last year

Do you need it delivered?

if not there are some lovely ones in Sainsbury’s

nicky2512 · 30/11/2025 20:15

Could anyone recommend a jigsaw brand on Amazon please as I have hurt my foot and want to avoid the shops! We always buy dmil a new one - she’s pretty good so needs to be tough enough.
I had a look but there’s so many! Thank you.

You can't beat a Ravensburger 1000 piece. I've had issues with the quality of some Gibsons in the past. Is there a particular picture she's looking for? I like the Colin Thompson cupboard and alphabet ones.

I’ve bough a few Christian Lacroix ones they’re so pretty

edited to add, some are double sided so perfect for an expert!

nicky2512 · 30/11/2025 20:32

@BeckySharpest Great thanks. I will have a look.
No - nothing in particular. We just get her one every year and she’s not fussy as long as it’s challenging.

hugsandpugs · 30/11/2025 20:37

Can anyone remember who the person was that was posting the riddles? I need their help later 😅 but can’t remember their name

nicky2512 · 30/11/2025 20:43

@CalliopePlantain oh great thanks. That gives me two brands to check out so going to look now. I need to get this shopping finished!

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.

This is also a good idea! I'll have plenty ideas to hunt.

I have missed how to get the anthropologie voucher, tried to search but still can’t find it. I have signed up for the newsletter but only received a 10% off code. If anyone could help I would be grateful.

ThreeB · 30/11/2025 20:46

A couple of decent buys from today

TK Maxx, Eve Lom Blooming Fountain Candle £19.99 (£60 on Space NK)
https://www.tkmaxx.com/uk/en/women/beauty/all-skincare/skincare/blooming-fountain-candle-185g/p/42881969

Lots of NEOM on TK Maxx website as well today but you need to search as the brand is one of the ones that they hide from the search function.

Look Fantastic, ESPA Fitness Set £27.50 (£55 on the ESPA website) and an extra 5% off with code SAVE5
https://www.lookfantastic.com/p/espa-fitness-collection/15438885/

Lots of offers on Portmerion including 30% off Sara Miller and Wrendale
https://www.portmeirion.co.uk/black-friday-sale

I think I am actually complete now bar the wrapping!

@nicky2512 my dmil is also an avid jigsaw fan. The latest one we bought her was a 3D one that made a vase. She said it was very challenging.
Lots on Amazon

hugsandpugs · 30/11/2025 21:00

@CatRash please can you help me with tonight’s riddles? I’ll be forever thankful 🙏

The hismile isn’t showing me the riddle, if you post it I’m sure someone can help.

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!😩

@Ardagusdubh there's 30% off on the White Fox site with code BLKFRI

Elsmum25 · 30/11/2025 21:40

Sorry to ask another anthropologie question but the £20 says it's been added but the full price is still showing. Has this happened for anyone else? Thank you

FurForksSake · 30/11/2025 21:42

@Elsmum25 they don’t stack and it needs to be one item over / at £20 for it to work.

fruitfly3 · 30/11/2025 17:29

Anyone got any recommendations for a potion kit? Can be outdoor or bath based but something they’ll really love? Children are 5 & 9. TIA

If you search Boots for ‘Harry Potter’ they have quite a bit of stuff, and also if you search ‘colour changing’.

pasinphoebe · 30/11/2025 21:50

@Elsmum25 it won’t work if the item/s have any sort of discount on them.

Goingincirclesstill · 30/11/2025 21:54

Boots seem to be doing offers in December again....didn't catch for how many days, but email says tomorrow is 4 for the price of 2 on green stickered items in store only
