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>

i have just ordered some fabric poke wreaths from Amazon. There is a group of us that get together to make our wreaths, so trying something different. Bargain price of 50% discount if you order 10

Pictures of what I got - also listed in the link above

And me 🙏🤣

Hooray for the best threads of the year! Huge thanks to @Sideorderofchips and @Reastie for all you do to make Christmas magical for everyone. Hope you're feeling better every day, @Reastie.

If anyone is near Cambridge, TG Jones is closing down and everything is reduced. Christmas cards and wrapping were 4 items for £1!

I can't remember who was after a new Velvetiser, but I noticed they had £20 off as I walked past Hotel Chocolat.

Thank you v much for the slippers bargain - much appreciated!

Bring on the bargains and Christmas joy!

Hi everyone, lovely to be back. Still so grateful for the lovely MNer on this thread a couple of years ago who bought and posted me a onesie for my son after the one ordered got cancelled!

This year I would love suggestions for Nee doh cubes...real ones but barginous if there are any suggestions please. So many seem to be fake. Thank you!

If you click on the three dots to the top right of the last post you read and select bookmark the site will automatically take you back there when you next click on the thread. Then you just see all the new ones (you can scroll back of course if you want to check on previous ones).

Would love a link please

Bedruthan is very family.
Scarlett is adults - watergate bay is the best

I can vouch for the usefulness of the neck light- or as someone I know calls it- tit-light.

Junior Chemistry Set 40% off Amazon, down to £16.79

Uno No mercy £5.99 (57% off)

Bitzee Harry Potter digital Pet £10.99

Thank so much, @MamaK19 that looks ideal.

Candle warmer was a massive hit with chips the eldest last year for her uni room. Worked with candles and wax melts. And got around the no flames rule

Thanks so much for this! First gift of the season. I have lots of young women (my nieces are all young women these days 😱) to buy for, it's good to get a bargain!

Thanks Reastie for the loveliest part of MN. I've had many, many bargains & great ideas from these threads since I discovered them 5 years ago ❤️

That mascara deal is great @PearlsTeapot
I think they did last year or the year before?
I’ve picked up 2 for nieces. The delivery charge stays at £3:35 and each bundle £10 so I got two sets for £23.35.
First presents done!

Can I just say that these products are SO lovely - luxurious, smell amazing, locally sourced & made. Really good deals here.

Top tip: the glycerine soaps cut beautifully with a knife: I cut in half for sinks, & for travel. Their shampoo bars are also excellent for travel.

Got the neck light & No Mercy Uno. Thank you!

not used it myself but I have heard it’s good for kids who love building like Lego etc

Thanks so much for this thread.

I don’t usually start Christmas shopping until November but DS (21 and 18) and their girlfriends are tricky to buy for so I’ll break my own shopping rules if something good comes up!

There were - I’m sure - genuine Stanley cups at my local TK Maxx today. I didn’t check the price but I remember being quite surprised to see them there. I have to return tomorrow to take some things back so can check price and colours and let you know if helpful, with some photos?

ETA - sorry this was for @WhyCantThingsJustBeEasy

Ahh I've never been on these threads before! Love Christmas and love this.

I've done the bulk of my shopping already. (I get my bonus in July and use that) but still have quite a few bits to get, so I'll be watching with interest.

Thanks for the fab thread!

@snowgirl1 I can recommend this silk pillowcase, I got one for my daughter last Christmas. The cotton side stops it from slipping.
