Thread 20 - the one with Christmas?

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.

Still no dispatch from Sweetzy and lots seem to have received theirs.

I’ve just had an email re despatch today. I ordered them on Saturday.

hiredandsqueak · 17/12/2025 14:42

I had an email from Evri telling me they are expecting my order from Sweetzy. I've never had a problem previously so hoping I don't this time either.

Mokeytree · 17/12/2025 14:54

I ordered Saturday too. Hopefully will get dispatch soon.
Was very impressed at Debenhams and Marks and Spencer both delivered today after I placed the orders yesterday.

Sainsburys have got some nice slippers in their sale. I’ve been trying to find some for my DDs. They are in adult sizes & ive managed to get 2 pairs for £7 each
they’ve also got some other good sale bits. I literally just walked past my wardrobe and thought I don’t need any clothes…I now have a skirt & dress en route (justified as they will do for work events and so cheap!!) I’m ridiculous

Changingagain · 17/12/2025 15:06

I've also just received my Fahlo order from the 21st! Didn't think they were coming... And Evri are expecting my Sweetzy order

hby9628 · 17/12/2025 15:16

I ordered one of these the other day. It’s just arrived. It looks lovely. In a great gift box. Be perfect for my 15yo as she has very long hair. Pleased with it. Might get one as a present for my friend

What did you buy from them? Did you get the bundle with the baubles and crackers? If so you had to choose your items for the 500g bag so it's a bit odd if you've ended up with all blue fizzy bottles!

Also, mine didn't have an energy drink so perhaps I got a different bundle to you.

It was a £15 mystery box that came with an international fizzy drink

Has anyone received their orders from Gardening Express?? I ordered over 10 days ago and haven’t heard a peep in spite of emailing…. As it was all Xmas decorations I’m keen for them to arrive soon!!

I got mine a couple of days ago.

Tiredandannoyed2023 · 17/12/2025 15:32

Seasalt sale has started. I’ve ordered 2 jumpers I’ve been looking at for ages - they were half price.

Tiredandannoyed2023 · 17/12/2025 15:45

I should have added that there is also cashback on Top Cashback.

SixSevenX · 17/12/2025 15:52

Nintendo switch down to £199

The4thSister · 17/12/2025 15:52

Well my anthropologie order from late Nov still hasn't been dispatched :( keep chasing and told they haven't from the supplier who is shipping the item out, but they can't refund me as the order is being fulfilled by another supplier?! Very odd responses and customer service, not one to buy from again :(

I've had the same, I actually have a few things in my basket to buy for January birthdays (but so glad I waited to see my other item first). I won't be buying from them again. It took a week to get a reply from customer service and they couldn't give a time scale. I've bought another gift now and if this one turns up I'll use it for someone else.

IlovePond · 17/12/2025 15:57

My local SpaceNK had some Glossier gift sets reduced today -I thought they would make nice presents for people who like the brand. They are also doing £20 off a £100 spend at the moment.

The Entertainer seemed to have some good reductions.

zacsGranny · 17/12/2025 16:08

My Fahlo bracelets have actually arrived! I can't believe it.
As I had ordered a whale, a shark and a dolphin, I have had to open the cards to pair them with the bracelets - bad design fault. But, by cutting along the bottom of the packet and avoiding the card, I was able to reseal quite easily.

I think that was my last order to arrive so I'm mighty relieved now.
Thanks to everyone on this thread. So pleased I started early, especially with being unwell. Couldn't have done it without you all.

That was me! I posted the Rave discount / referral on the other board. It gets £5 off so I bought a gift set which includes an aeropress and a bag of coffee (you can choose from a selection, including decaf) and thanks to the referral discount, the price including delivery (1st class tracked) was only £30.55.

i thought that was good as the aeropress itself is usually about £36 before delivery.

Thank you. Last gift has now been ordered... Well I think it was the last one 🤞😂

Oh that really is disappointing then! ☹️

Theraffarian · 17/12/2025 16:46

If anyone has an AMEX card , one of the offers is £10 cashback on a £40 spend at The Entertainer , need to add it to your account before shopping .

DuchessofReality · 17/12/2025 17:27

To everyone whose Fahlo bracelets have arrived - did the Royal Mail tracking ever update to say they were en route? Mine still says Royal Mail are 'expecting' the parcel (which Fahlo said shipped 10 days ago, but have since admitted didn't....)

Mine finally update from expecting it on Monday, and was delivered today. Apparently dispatched by Fahlo on 3rd, so two weeks.

If anyone is looking for a dry robe;
Two Bare Feet have adult and kids dryrobes on offer.
Adults at £49 plus a £10 discount with code FESTIVE10 to bring them down to £39. I don't have their dry robe but do have other things of theirs (their swimming costume wetsuits are amazing!)

Is this on their website or elsewhere? Would you mind linking to the Adults, I can only see them at £59.

Cos1970 · 17/12/2025 18:13

I’ve finished all my shopping and it’s all wrapped (earliest I think I’ve ever been 😁) but may just get one more present for my DS for his stocking.

Thank you for all the bargains, I may not have got as many as last year but have got some great suggestions for birthdays etc going forward!

Addictedtobeauty · 17/12/2025 18:35

Have not had much luck with deliveries this year.
Fahlo have not even dispatched my BF order. I’ve requested a refund three times now and they just ignore it and send back some nonsense that it’s in the last stages of fulfilment etc.It’s so stressful, I will never order from them again.
HN have not fulfilled my last two orders and have had to chase for refunds.Still waiting.

And everything is delayed. I live in London, it’s not usually this bad! Is everyone feeling it this year?

ReadingTime · 17/12/2025 18:36

60% off everything at Snapfish with code XFLASH25.

I placed an order this evening and it said it will be delivered on the 24th - fingers crossed!
