Thread 20 - the one with Christmas?

[Reastie]

I'm taking a punt that this one might see us until Christmas. Will likely live to be proved wrong but let's go with the punt!

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.

My name's Galore, Flamingos Galore.

Congratulations on your new family members! We demand a Christmas Day photo (preferably with them both enthroned).

@FortnumsWeddingBreakfastTeaPlease well that is a win! I’m am beyond pleased for you!

Whomever mentioned the Joe & Steph popcorn deal over Black Friday - Thank you!
I am sure I was only supposed to get 60 of the small bags on the £11 deal, but there are 70 in there!
I also brought a bundle for my DH, but might steal it for myself because it looks amazing!

I have a feeling popcorn might become a yearly tradition if it tastes as good as it looks!

And to top off my happiness levels, my washer is finally fixed (after DH left half of a baby vest sticking out and it pulled out the seal and I’ve been without a washer for 10 days! ) and I made DH help wrapping presents. Life is good (at least for the next hour or so lol)! Xx

Have you tried Accessorize?

What a relief 😅

@Etatauri try Zara for scarves!

Is the conclusion from the last thread that the Anthropologie codes no longer work for orders under £50? I can’t get mine to work on the little jellycat piggy…

What's the SOPHIE code please? I seem to have missed that one and am going to need several items from H&B in the next few days.
Thank you

Oh No have I missed the popcorn deal?

Thank you for the latest thread. Was throughly confused at first. Am new to these this year and thought I'd missed a whole set! Was aware I'd had a couple ofdrinks last night but didn't think I was that drunk.😀
Our annual Christmas family gathering this weekend with DS2 flying in from abroad. Can't wait.
Early Merry Christmas one and all!

They have been so few deals this year, haven’t there? I think that in previous years we’ve been almost filling a thread a day at peak points. Having a separate thread for referral codes cuts down on the number of messages. And there have been no bun fights this year!
Delighted to hear about the flamingos. I cannot tell you how many shops I have asked in!
We’ve had a drama here today as I was caught out by the change in the Amazon Prime delivery policy so a present which was required for today has not turned up yet.

Morning - can anyone help me find a giant plushie Kirby that isn’t £70!!
I need a Kirby that is big and I mean big - like a big cushion or oversized plushie. The size I’m after is 60cm or bigger
i can only find in Ali express for £60-70 and I don’t think it’s get here on time but I can’t buy it at that price 🫣 don’t mind buying second hand so long as very good condition
Now the Flamingo’s have been nailed down could the power of this thread go towards finding a giant pink Kirby??

Yeah I was thinking the same. Bargains just don't exist any more like they used to (save for one or two exceptions) We've often hit 24 threads by Christmas.

Mind I have to say that I am delighted to hear the shitting Flamingo news @FortnumsWeddingBreakfastTeaPlease and also echo the plea for Christmas day photos. May your Christmas be filled with the very merriest and brightest of Flamingo Shit.

It's in the T&C's now that it must be a minimum of £50 spend. Annoyed I didn't spend mine when I got it now!

Surely this can't be the thread with Xmas in it?? I'm not even close to being ready!
Has anyone come across any bargains for Men's Pyjamas? My oldest two DSs are now in mens sizes and I'm finding it impossible to find reasonably priced options - everywhere I look I can find reasonable prices for kids and even women but the mens seem to be way more expensive. Just need one pair each for xmas eve - doesn't have to be xmas themed (in fact better if not). TIA

ISO a largish diffuser in a neutral colour? Reasonably priced at £20. Any suggestions? Tyia

I really liked the kelly hopper one on M&S but it's sold out

There's this one on eBay that is 50cm?
Delivery for me says after Christmas but I'm in a remote location so maybe it would make it to you?

Sainsbury have 20% off and extra 10% for blue light card. I’ve ordered to collect at my closet Argos to save the drive to Sainsbury’s

If anyone has a blue light card there is 10 percent off Morrisons today and tomorrow and next Friday and Saturday too plus Boxing Day. It apparently stacks with other offers too.

Just literally the name Sophie at the checkout, works on sale items,,, I got £50 off yesterday (I went mad with some stuff id wanted a while)

@BeingacatbedIf you still have the £10 off a £100 spend at Argos, I’d really appreciate it.

Mountain warehouse ended up being a great bargain for me thanks for the code!

The fleeces I needed were the cheapest they have been since September (when I started looking) and with the 20% off code AND free delivery i think it’s the biggest bargain so far for me!

Thanks @boobybum and @rhubarbhandsoap I'll check out Zara and accessories!

Just a heads up that Mountain warehouse is often on the Amazon Haul site. I got 2 of their fleeces for £7 ish each 2 weeks ago (they come and go quickly)

Theres a box called 'brand favs' and things pop up in there, currently lots of Adidas bits and Jack jones

After 13 days of "we're expecting it", Royal Mail seem to finally have my Fahlo parcel. It's nowhere near me and I've other RM deliveries that have been sat in one place for a week so I'm not entirely hopeful but at least it appears to actually exist!

I normally buy them at a small local shop so I already felt bad for giving in to the much cheaper online price, definitely won't be doing it again. The packaging also looks worse on the photos people have posted than the display packaging used in shops.
