Thread 14 - the one where I'm still not sure what a cheese spoiler is

[Reastie]

Welcome to Christmas 2025!

This post is a work in process and if you have any links you’d like to share or 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 (is that the right word?) And 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!

If you have any referral links then please post on this thread here and share around the joy/referral perks.

I ordered from Fahlo on 25th and it still hadn’t been dispatched so I emailed last week asking to cancel the order. Someone just emailed me back confirming they have now cancelled it. So annoying as they were meant to be a present

It’s not bargainous but threadless has wonderful T-shirts with original art

@Moonlightfrog - I keep seeing Peachy peach t-shirts on my insta feed - would one of these work?

I have a £7 off £75 spend at Argos if anyone wants it? I am done now apart from pjs and fresh food so won’t be using it.

eta I actually have 2 codes - forget I signed up with a different email for the newsletter bonus last year 😬

I bought one from Argos last year, it’s a 12 in 1 I think but the make is Hy-Pro and it’s 4ft. We’ve been really happy with it, it was pretty easy to assemble and is sturdy. The games are good, table football and pool have been the biggest hits with DS but we’ve played most of the others too. I got it for less than £100 around this time last year.

Yes please! Thank you!

Has anyone seen any bargainous wrapping paper holders- the zip up material ones. My long standing IKEA one has just burst its zip. It's great as has space for all sorts of other wrapping paraphanelia too. Anyone recommend a decent quality but bargainous one?

DD 4! has just (finally!) written her letter to Santa and has asked for a working Nutcracker and nuts 😂. No idea where to start with that.

Also sharing a limited time deal on Amazon for The Story Orchestra book on planets now at £7.50. musical book

Looks like a few deals on today - also picked up Bluey Duplo. duplo

Got both for my 4 year old.

Just seen these in our cancer research shop for £4.99

I now need. Chuckling Cheese hamper. I’ve deleted all my emails from them, does anyone have discount codes? Thanks

Just a reminder for those let down by Fahlo there are loads brand new on vinted.

I also have a £7 off £75 for Argos. Let me know if you need it.

Beanies do small jars of Christmas themed coffees, I quite like them

Thanks folks for bag suggestions … the lands end commuter bag is a nice option so looking at that one, thanks!

Hi, I saw 1l of Bailey’s in Tesco for £10 today. I almost bought one before remembering that I don’t actually like it! They were flying off the shelves, so I suggest getting one sooner rather than later if it’s on your shopping list.

Lidl’s champagne is reduced to £9.99 atm. I have no idea what it tastes like - we shall see!

Today’s Lidl a/c offer is 50% off biscuit collections, which I thought was a good deal, and I will be popping in to use this one.

That is an excellent offer!

I tend to email the magazine company immediately after I’ve had my first copy and all gifts and ask them to cancel auto subscription after last issue has been sent. Has always worked fine.

Do they include the tracking information? - that's the main bit for me - not the bracelets

@keepincool the ones I have seen have them yes! - I know you arent supposed to but we bought all the kids one each last year and then they all scanned and tracked each others.
