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.

@SugarCookieMonster can you share a link please? Still showing as full price for me 😕

If you don’t have an account there’s a code on the top banner AUKV6 which gives the same 25% off

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

You can usually find some bargains on ASOS. I bought my 13yo DS there some recently

Thank you to the pp who mentioned the Holland and Barrett code SOPHIE … I’ve jus ordered some already reduced Q + A hair and skin stuff for DD and this code took each of them down to just under a fiver! Plus free click and collect too. 😁

When do crackers get marked down? I need some for my work Christmas party next Thurs. Last year I got sick shop ones which went down well.

ooh I hadn't thought of there - I've never actually bought from them so will go on and have a look now - thank you!

VeruccaSalty · 12/12/2025 14:50

It's Lounge20 for pyjamas. You get two pieces for £20!

MamaClausToTheRescue · 12/12/2025 14:54

BOUNCEBACKFIVE will take £5 off £20 at Millie’s Cookies, in case anyone is planning to order a giant cookie.

ASOS is your best friend with teenage boys imo - they have near weekly sales and discount codes. I wouldn't suggest buying anything full price except maybe the big brands like Birkenstock

Noooooo i made the sock order without seeing the 2 for 1 dammit. I had to buy a pack of socks to take it over £40 for free delivery. ONE pack when I could have had TWO. God of Bargains how could you do this to me

Thanks @Reastie !

I'm looking for a super soft oversized blanket scarf. Bonus points for natural materials. Bit wary of buying from a website i don't know without a recommendation. Went into Oliver bonas this week which is usually a winner but they all have pom poms on the end which is too fussy for this recipient.

Any recommendations for where to look please?

I don’t know if this is “blankety”enough, but I’ve bought this for my MIL. Bought it in the shop and got it because it was so super soft.

Sainsbury's have 20% off all pyjamas... buying mens for the first time as my son-in-law is coming for Christmas and the elves still have to bring PJs apparently (kids age 22, 19 and 15 plus 24 yo sil!)

Local charity shops worth a look too as some people will have had pre Christmas clear outs

My football strips arrived from Jersey4U!! About a month after ordering, but hey ho! They look pretty decent. I'll need to compare to the real thing in a shop, but should be fine to wear for the 5 minutes that Scotland will be in the world cup for!

£70 for 4 delivered- wouldn't even get one for that.

Was the website jersey4u? I’m trying to find my order email

mine came through with the name jesey00. Has anyone been charged more that the order amount? Not much, like maybe £1.50 more? I'm waiting on the stuff arriving before raising it with my credit card.

Burnnoticed · 12/12/2025 15:58

I was in Asda earlier and they had a couple of trees down to £10 each, but it was only the actual display models, not the boxed ones
