The one where I've clearly lost count on the number of threads and this one really will contain Christmas!

[Reastie]

Festive greetings to all and everyone. We're so close! I've just got a few last minute bits of wrapping to go and I hope everything is all bought. The Christmas food shop is arriving on Tuesday, the gingerbread house is being baked tomorrow and cinnamon buns are on my list of things to make before the week is out! Massive Christmas wishes to each and every one of you.

This post is a work in process and if you have any links you’d like to share or would be good to add then please do let me know. 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.

I just got a CCC alert to say Philips Lumea is £185 on Amazon.

Picked up my wrapping paper for next year at 15p a roll in Morrisons (I was at work, only reason I was there on Boxing Day)

Have also placed a Whistlefish order for cards.

Just asking on the off chance! Any chance there’s a discount or referral code for the cheeses site previously recommended? Quickes it was called.
Thanks in advance.

The Exit Game advent calendar is reduced to £22.99 on Amazon today , long wait time , but very good price for the latest version

Can someone please remind me of the for glasses cleaning cloths? Going to make a note for birthdays or xmas next year 😂

Here you go, it's Rosemart

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you Al had a great day. I just couldn’t keep up with the threads. I think the threads themselves take practice! I ended up buying Kpop demon hunters clothes full price from Zara and some stuff full price from Oliver Bonas homeware. All much appreciated by the recipients, even if not a bargain.

Thank you, @RainbowZebraWarrior and @fishfingersandchipsagain 😁

Just to add about the Rosemart signs… I bought photo dart flights and they were a massive hit.

I bought the Rosemart bookmarks, metal filmstrips with three personal pictures on. Huge hit! So cute and personal to each person and bargain of the year at less than a fiver. Brilliant present.

I didn’t really pay much attention to the rosemart products this year but just had a look at the bookmarks and I’ll definitely make a note of that for next year. Also the personalised croc charms will be perfect for the kids & DH.

Is there any sales like this online for cheap wrapping paper?

Same with the bookmarks, reckon they'll be a hit as well!

@StepIntoXmasyes my mum & best friend love reading so would be nice with a book to go with them

Can I ask do we have a thread like this throughout the year ?

Yes, there are prequel threads through the year - equally as helpful for stocking up/birthdays through the year! I don’t know what I’d do without them. I think @Sideorderofchips usually sorts them ❤️

Glasses cleaning cloths of my daughter went down well with all the grandparents

Yes, Sideorderofchips will start the prequel thread up around New Year's Day and link here for everyone to follow @juless77

Will the threads still be in the Christmas section?

@ApiratesaysYarrr yes, clearly labelled the Christmas bargain prequel thread and in the Christmas section. A wonderful corner of mumsnet.

Had to pop to try to get a 21st card - fail card buying on my effort - and Clinton’s had those BOOK NOOK things people were talking about cheap. I don’t do them so not sure how much of a bargain they are but took photos to show them.

Thank you to the poster who recommended the Whistlefish deal. I also bought two sets of cards on the 10 for £10 deal for the upcoming years birthdays etc and I’ve got a free tin coming my way. Thank you for making me more organised for 2026 x

DD7 has managed to throw (we think) a single block for one of the Blokus colours in the bin so DH has the fun task of trying to find it. Apart from that, I fully understand the hype of that game as we all enjoyed it and lasted a lot longer than I thought it would.

DM loved the glasses clothes (her words were “I liked it when I thought it was a generic Labrador, I loved it when I noticed it was my Labrador”) and says they were her best gift this year. Thank you to the PP who mentioned them.

Ohh Deer have a one day only sale TODAY. Lots of lovely cards and a Papergang box for £5
