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.

Mine finally arrived today too. Just as I was losing hope

We're in the SE and I don't think we've had any delays except the Fahlo bracelet tbh. Sorry to hear you've had problems 😕

Anyone had their Zavvi order yet? Free postage seems to mean they haven't paid the postman either.

Not here. Also got a HMV one missing

Has anyone spotted the Paco Rabanne 1 million (for men) gift set for £46 or less? It was that price (or maybe £47) the other day at John Lewis but when I went to order it, it had gone up to full price at £66. I'm loath to pay more than that for it now. Online places seem to be charging for delivery which bumps it up.

@Mummymumbruh All Beauty have a set for £52.50 and free delivery.

I can give you a referral code for 10% off, which takes it down to £47.25

Both good options. Thank you!

There’s been lots of chat about Sol de janiero - not the right brand for older teens? What would a little bit of luxury look like for a 19yo? £20 ish but could be higher or lower. Bargains welcome!

I’m wondering about hot diamonds, something warm and snuggly, or make up or similar?

They are fantastic. I bought DS one at £70 2 years ago!

Oh yes please, that would be amazing! thank you. Ive not ordered from the before I don't think, assume they are legit etc?

They are great, I've used them loads and so have quite a few other mumsnetters on the Beauty threads. They have excellent reviews on TrustPilot. I'll pm you

New Look have free next day delivery with code FREENDDSB

I'm also waiting. My order says processing on the website so not even dispatched yet. I messaged them yesterday but haven't had a response.

I'm waiting too. Sent a second chase up email an hour ago as had no response to my first Sent on Monday!

Boots have a spin wheel promotion for customers. I got 20% off so I’ve taken a photo of the code below and hoping that it isn’t unique!

I’ve had a dispatched email from zavvi, apparently it’ll be here tomorrow so fingers crossed! It’s coming by Royal Mail so maybe that explains the time it’s taken?

I emailed Zavvi today too as my order is showing as ‘processing’ even though I placed it over a week ago 😬 fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏻

Where is this?

@Addictedtobeauty I got a lot of waffle from Fahlo too until I told them they were too late for my gift exchange (they were) and that I’d contact my bank for a chargeback if they didn’t refund. Miraculously the next email told me I’d get a refund and to keep them if they turned up.

Someone recommended indoor snowballs, where were they from again?

We have some from Home Bargain

Yea, that was me. Home Bargains £4.99

£10 off a £50 spend at Yours Clothing for those last minute Christmas jumpers USE CODE: YC264W10

Jaques of London have a clearance sale on stocking fillers - some nice bits for younger children.

Can anyone recommend a company which supplies nice little letterbox gifts? Looking for three for older female relatives - I can find lots with spa type gifts, but I was looking for nice tea/ coffee, biscuits, maybe hand cream... the sort of thing I could put together myself if I had time, but sadly not as I work in a school and it's still manic at work!!

I placed an order with Zavvi on 7th Dec, still no dispatch email 😬

I have chased today.
