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.

Just my look definitely has some great offers! Got 2 fragrances and some hair bits and a gift set with free delivery

I got my husband the Crew boxers from you know who’s and they’re great for the price. Not many styles/sizes left now.

Not sure what stacking discounts are available now but worth checking x

I concur about Oddballs. They're the only ones my DS19 & DS21 will wear. Great lycra apparently- they both play rugby so need support, & these are originally a rugby company. Also a % of their profits go to testicular cancer research, hence the name 'Oddballs'. Can also highly recommend their socks & hats.

DS2's gf also races about the ladies ' pants. I've not tried them myself.

Thank you for this! Got a brow gel and bronzer (usually use different brands but happy to try a bargain) saved £10 and got a palette I can add to a little collection of gifts for my SIL!

Has anyone ordered potion kits through Hooded Owls? I did a relatively big order on the 30th and haven’t received anything?

On the same note, are others experiencing loses and big delays through the postal system? Totally get that it’s their most busy time of year, but I’ve currently got 5 missing or lost items which is gutting so close to Christmas (all ordered at the end of November so not last minute)

@fruitfly3 our postie seems to come once a week only at the minute and when they do they are delivering lots of items at once. Lots of very late stuff if it's sent untracked.

Does anyone know where I can get a jiggly pet called disco Gigi giraffe

Omg I literally just yesterday put one of these in the school toy appeal. I think I picked it up in the January sales last year from WH Smiths

Secret Sales have emailed me some discount codes, if you’re looking on there these might help! :

save £5 when you spend £30 with Save5
save £10 when you spend £60 with Save10
& save £15 when you spend £100 with Save15

Can I ask I have got my MIL one did you find it looked nice in the box or I have a small basket I could transfer the contents to with ribbon etc which do u suggest I do ?

I got mine delivered in the post and was pleasantly surprised, it really was well packaged and I wouldn’t hesitate in gifting it to someone.

Just an FYI, the Oddballs code SANTA10 gives you 10% off everything. If you have non-sale items in your basket you can also get, 10% off no min spend, 15% off £50, 20% off £60 spend with BLC. They stack so you can get 10% off sale bits and 15% off full price items.

Oh my goodness. Work has been a bin fire, i’ve fallen off the threads and soooo behind! There was talk of shoe driers on an earlier thread. Has anyone got any links or recommendations?

TESCO WAFFLE MAKER

Looked a nice little extra gift for £7.50 - heart shaped so maybe more for a girl / lady.

Added a photo but might take a few mins to be passed ok to show.

I've got single use codes for £5 off £50 or £10 off £100 spend at Argos (after I spent over £300 there ) if anyone needs one.

B&Q MERMAID TAIL LIGHTS

Not much left at B&Q in Christmas decorations - I missed the sale - but they had these lovely little mermaid tail lights for £3 - worth a look if you are passing one.

I have just received the fallout bracelets rhat I ordered on the 21st! One is incorrect and I have 3 turtle cards, one wolf and one snow leopard. My order is 2 turtles, one polar bear, one whale and a red panda.
Does anyone know if the cards inside are different to the outside packaging? So disappointed and frustrated with this company

Fahol not fallout! Ruddy auto correct

The fallout bracelets 😆 Given the number of posters not pleased about delivery, perhaps a title contender if we make it to another thread? @Reastie

@VeruccaSalty I had to request a refund from groupon about a year ago for cinema codes that didn’t work . They always seem to offer groupon credit to start with . Under your account you should be able to contact them and request it’s put back on your card . They act like they are doing you a huge favour , but in reality it’s what should happen . If not tell them you will apply for a chargeback on your card for goods not received.

Hello, I’m looking for a Fuddlewuddle gingercat (jellycat) lovely DD has been asking for 3 years for one, Jellycat no longer make them. I ordered one off eBay (which I now think was fake) but the orders been cancelled. There’s one on Vinted that looks genuine but the seller wants £45 for it (retail £27 it even has the price tag on it) and I can’t really afford that once all the fees are added… can anyone help please? 🙏

Definitely just ordered £40 of sweets we don't really need, but will enjoy.
I was drawn in my the crackers. Ordered 2 bundles, with the discount came to £36. Postage £4 but free over £40, so thought I may as well as a couple more picnmix pouches to take the total to £40. Postage cost me £1 in the end, as we go away next weekend so I upgraded to evri 24 for £1.

Also, my original fahlo bracelet just arrived. I haven't opened it to see if it's correct as the kids are about, but now I have 2. Wonder if I should tell them.

Sweetzy deal fantastic, thank you! Ordered from them various times including advent calendars no issues.

We found the Fahlo bracelets we ordered last year in the tree box- they arrived very late, after christmas so we shoved them in there. Opened one and it still worked so will give the other two as gifts this year! LOL.

I've got 15% off The Premium Fragrence code is 7G64SZZ6

It's a dupe website but always well received on these threads. I ordered a load of samples which will be fun stocking fillers.

The Lidl leaflet for 18/12/25 has shoe dryers in for a tenner
