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.

Thanks, just ordered!

Glad to hear some zavvi orders are starting to arrive gives me hope that mine might come through in time.

Pintail Mystery Boxes are back live, £40 worth of candles for £20. Shipped after Christmas.

I was just about to pack up the wrapping supplies but I'll leave it for another day then. Zavvi website says they don't have any tracking info "yet" though so I'm not very hopeful.

Could anyone please help with suggestions a 'naice' iphone 17 cross body strap? For an adult woman. I found some on Next but hesitated and all sold out now. Many thanks.

Does anyone have a spare Argos code please? I have something I would like to buy for £50. Many thanks!

Same here. Emailed them chasing it yesterday and suooosedly dispatched today. Fingers crossed!

Also the national trust version (also hardback) is down to £6 on Amazon. Bought for DFIL last week, it's a lovely gift.

RL shopping today saw lambswool roll neck jumpers in Uniqlo for £24.90. They are lovely. Men's, but the XS fits me well (size 12) & S if I want it roomier. Had black/ navy/ cream/ pale grey/ olive.

Women's ribbed merino close fitted polo-necks are also £24.90. Many colours.

@Glindala This has just appeared on my vinted homepage (I'm on the hunt for Playmobil animals myself) xx

I will pm you

@Glindalawe gave all of our Playmobil hospital bits to the DC’s old primary school at half term! Otherwise, I could have sent them to you. We never had the actual hospital but got various hospital accessories and had the hotel as a dual purpose building. From memory, we had a hospital set, a maternity set (very detailed!) and a paediatric set. The DC then also used to use the vet set and, provided you didn’t look too closely at the x-ray slides, it fitted in quite well!

Does anyone know what my chances are of receiving a hot diamonds delivery before Christmas if I order tonight? My mum has just announced we're doing tree presents so now I need to get her one, I havent ordered from them before so wasnt sure how quickly they're delivered

I only ordered from them once, and it was just over a week ago. The order was delivered in 2-3 days.

This made laugh… there are a lot of people working in the nhs who can sympathise 😆

It may be tricky being so close to Christmas but I've ordered from them loads and always had very quick shipping.

Well worth a try, they are offering express delivery in time for Christmas until the 22nd.

No sign of my Anthropologie order and no reply from their customer services 🙄

I know there have been problems with Fiorelli, but they have a good sale on, with free express delivery if ordered before 22nd and and extra 15% off with code EXTRA15
Just got a coin purse for £8 delivered

@Babynumberthreeee free express delivery is the advent offer today on hot diamonds so that probably increases your chances of it arriving on time!

Thanks everyone. Now to scroll back and find codes

Their customer service is really hard to get anywhere with. Different people seem to pick up the messages and it never gets anywhere.

No code needed for the free express delivery today, just make sure to select it at checkout!

Funkopop have just delivered my order, nearly 6 weeks after I placed it and 3 weeks after I told them to cancel it 🙄

MSE50 for 50% off outlet.
MSE40 for 40% off full price
and normally JEWELS for free delivery, but today it’s free express delivery with no code needed.

8.4% cashback with TopCashback but might not track with code.
