Christmas bargain thread one - the one where it officially starts!

[Reastie]

Thanks so much to @Sideorderofchips for keeping things going. I can barely believe it's September and (for me at least!) that only means one thing - Christmas can start!!!!

Hope you've all had a great year and have missed you all. Last couple of years I've had various health things going on so have been a bit distant from the threads. Not quite there yet but feeling stronger than this time last year and I can't wait until I see more festive items in the shops! I've already bought my advent calendar - I've got the taskmaster one (which I'm quite excited about!).

I'll post various links etc in the next thread first post but essentailly you guys know the drill - share and be nice or leave.

<waves to everyone>

The Essence Vault is doing a BOGOF deal for the next 24 hours.

@HairsprayBabe thank you for the princess advent calendar- it’s been in my Amazon basket at 18.99 for weeks and I’ve come close a few times. Even a small saving (x2) makes me feel less guilty about the plastic and my girls will love these!

Glad to see the Thompson and Morgan Kew seeds are still popular (can you believe it was two years ago I first posted them?) anyway they have free delivery until midnight on the 12th with code TM_TN7405W and the Mr Men seeds/sets are really good value for younger gardeners like this one https://www.thompson-morgan.com/p/mr-men-little-miss-flower-seed-growing-kit/kf0751TM

These were a huge hit in our family last year! No need to turn lights on at night when using the loo. I might buy some as they originally came from Aldi!

If anyone had a spare Boden code I’d be eternally grateful 🙏❤️

Bloom & Wild account holders - Check your inbox for the 50% off, account‑specific code they’ve sent out (today only)

It applies to selected gifts, including the Jellycat Thinking of You Bundle. The bundle contains the Amuseables Bouquet of Flowers (usually £42 on its own elsewhere) plus Shortbread House macadamia biscuits.

With the code, the whole bundle drops to £24.50!!

(For those that haven’t yet signed up, you get 50% off on your birthday every year too, I have £10 off referral code, PM me if interested)

I don’t know if this is 🤣🤣🤣🤣 or 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

I like that they are 'motion activated' 😉 (the disco balls)

Sainsbury's has Bulldog shower gel and face scrub/wash at half price (£3.75). I got two of each - one for son and the other for son in law.

My Santa sacks are filling up thanks to this thread. I got the PJs for daughter and DIL, the slippers, the tesserand smellies (daughter and DIL) and the push out flower books (to be homed, but possibly daughter and DIL again).

I can always buy loads for women, but men are much more difficult - any ideas for them? I was going to get the Lego Gameboy for SIL, but it turns out my daughter bought it for him last year.

Thanks to everyone who's posted links and ideas. I might have to stop looking at the thread for a while as it's still September and I have a lot already. It does mean that when they tell me what they want as main presents it will be less of a financial hit though.

Not sure if great bargain but i know people talked about them earlier and just popped up on my amazon with money off. Neck light.

@Talisin thank you! I’ve just ordered for the first time so hoping they are as good as the reviews! 12 year old SD asked for miss Dior perfume so hoping this passes the test 🤞

I need this! But I haven't been sent a code 😭Wonder if I try with a different email I may get one today...

I got 25% off so maybe different for each account!

Perfect thanks

Thanks @ShyMaryEllen - DSD's partner likes Bulldog so I will go to Sainsbury's today!

So far thanks to this thread I've bought DMIL's present (Yankee candle set and jumper) and got loads of stocking fillers. It's great to feel a little bit festive as the gloom of autumn creeps in - I am very much a spring person and can struggle this time of year. This corner of MN is like a lovely cosy glow - thanks everyone 😊

Bloom & wild also have 30% off on selected accounts too. My DH set up an account last year and he gets different discounts from me.
I have put a code on the referral thread if anyone needs it.

I’m tempted to buy the toilet disco light as an elf trick! My kids are 15 & 12 but we still have to have the blooming elf every year!

Thanks for sharing, I've got the code but dismissed it thinking I didnt need anything but this is one cute and would make a lovely gift so will order!

Terrys fabrics have got a very hefty sale on, ending Monday. Lots of bedding, cushions, soft furnishings etc.

Superdrug has reductions on Daise products which is making them quite cheap. Stocking fillers for DD done :)

My pyjamas have arrived too and I love them. Also really like the little pouch you can pack them in!

I received a Boden code in the post, but it's £25 off a £75 spend (rather than the £25 off a spend of £25.01 several people have mentioned). Am I simply not one of the chosen few, or is there a glitch I've missed? 😂
