3 Reasons November Isn’t as Bad as You Might Think

November is one of those in-between months that you just want to get out of the way so all the fun can start again. Summer is long gone, Halloween is over, and with the exception of Bonfire Night weekend, there’s not a huge amount to look forward until we get to December. Ok, so a lot of shops would love us to start buying those Christmas presents right now, but we are creatures of habit and realistically we’re always going to leave the bulk of them until a week before the big day, right?

But November does have some good stuff in store, we promise. And here’s the proof!

Say Hello to Hygge

You may have seen this word a few times in the last couple of weeks and there’s very good reason for this. Those Danes already know that winter is the best time of year, so much so that they came up with their very own word to signify all that is good about it. Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a concept that doesn’t have a direct, succinct English translation, but in general terms it means relishing in the cosiness of winter, making your surroundings as snug as possible and enjoying good food with friends. All preferable to venturing out in the cold we think you’ll agree. Over on our site blog we can help you achieve peak hygge as well as use House of Fraser discount vouchers to save on some very hygge-friendly faux fur rugs.

Fun with Winter Fashion

We might be wrong, but we’re guessing most people prefer shopping for the winter rather than the summer. It’s so much more forgiving for starters. But those long-held winter fashion rules (you know the ones we mean – no tights and sandals, no bold colours etc etc) don’t really apply anymore and when it comes to winter, it’s pretty much open season to be creative and indulge you own personal style preferences. In our guide on how to break those winter fashion rules, we’ve included links to our New Look voucher codes to help you on your way so you don’t have to supress those colourful urges any longer!

We All Deserve a Spa Treat

We don’t think it’s any coincidence that National Spa Week falls in the month of November because never has there been a better time of year to take a break and relax for an afternoon, or even a few days. Apart from perhaps January. But there’s nothing stopping you booking another post-Christmas break, right? Find the best current deals using the Red Letter Days promo codes featured on our National Spa Week post and you might find you can afford multiple spa treats to spread throughout the year, or throughout winter at the very least.

So you see, November isn’t all bad. In fact, it’s shaping up to be a rather good month indeed, especially if you choose to mark it with the combination of a home full of hygge goodness, a colourful winter coat and an afternoon at the spa.

4 Ways to Enjoy the Longer Winter Evenings

You may or may not have realised that this weekend the clocks go back. Yes, just in time for all those Halloween parties! But after the fun is over, this also means dark mornings and long winter evenings lie ahead until March. Yay. But it’s not doom and gloom – in fact, we think you should look on this as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. There are plenty of ways you can make the most of long winter evenings and here are just a few ideas to see you through until the spring…

Bake Up a Storm

This week see’s the last ever final of The Great British Bake Off to feature on the BBC and let’s just say as a nation, we’re not too happy about it. But picking up a spatula yourself and turning on that oven will at least go some of the way to filling the BBC Bake Off hole in your life. We put together a blog post with a number of different baking tips as well as some Ocado voucher codes to help you out with the cost of ingredients, and there’s even tips on where to find the best mug cake recipes because let’s face, baking can be a bit of an effort.

Treat Yourself to Some New Bedding

There’s only one thing better than sleeping under newly-laundered sheets and that’s sleeping under brand new sheets AND a brand new duvet. This is because a cold, dark winter’s evening is the best possible time to curl up under a new duvet with a higher tog count, or perhaps even invest in some eiderdown. Our blog post give you some more reasons as to why we should be looking forward to winter as well as the latest Slumber Slumber discount vouchers to save on that winter bedding.

More Leisure Time

Does anyone actually enjoy leaving the house in the cold weather? If someone calls to cancel plans, can we honestly say we disappointed at the thought of not having to venture outside? Of course not. Because winter leisure time is all about staying indoors and catching up on your favourite books, TV shows, films and music. Which is exactly how it should be.  

Halloween and Bonfire Night

The double whammy of autumnal celebrations doesn’t exactly ease us into winter, but rather give us a slightly scary shove (in the most jovial way possible). Every year Halloween seems to be more and more popular and no doubt in ten years’ time we’ll have caught up with the level of Halloween madness that takes place across the Atlantic. For those of you who fall squarely in the pro-Halloween camp, we put together a post about all the great things to look forward too when Halloween approaches, including some Angels Fancy Dress promo codes to help you perfect that costume.

So even if you plan on not getting out of your bed for the next few months, there’s still plenty to celebrate about the impending winter season. And if you’re still dreading it, well then, just think about Christmas – not long to go now!

We’re aiming to squeeze every last drop of value out of the summer fun and this week it’s the turn of sunglasses, outdoor toys and European city breaks – all important summer essential we think you’ll agree.

Sunglasses Savings Galore                     

                                          

Last Monday was International Sunglasses Day and we celebrated in style with a special sunglasses blog post, because an item that provides not only instant style but also instant eye protection is well worth celebrating in our opinion. Along with offers from Sunglass Hut and Specky Four Eyes, we found a Glasses Shop UK promotional code that got you 30% off their sunglasses. With their prices already very reasonable, this Glasses Shop UK coupon code is an excellent budget option for everyone who wants those stylish frames and eye protection without paying for a designer label in the process.

Duplay Discount Codes for Outdoor Fun

What’s the easiest way to keep your children amused over the summer holidays? Why, put them on a trampoline of course! Don’t have a trampoline? Well, now is the perfect time to buy and not just because of the weather. This week we put together a special outdoor and garden toys post that contains some fabulous Duplay discount codes for all your trampoline requirements because with up to 50% off some of their many models, they can make that large trampoline so much more affordable for so many.

Experience the great outdoors in many different ways with this week’s voucher codes

What do the latest Marks and Spencer voucher codes, Dogalogue coupon codes and MissPap promo codes have in common? The can all help you put a new spin on outdoor fun in three very different ways, that’s what. The average dinner party-thrower, dog-lover and festival-goer might not seem to be too similar on first glance, but on our blog this week we’ve explored a few different ways in which these online savings can help all of the above experience the great outdoors in many different ways…

Outdoor Dining Marks and Spencer Voucher Codes

Let’s start with the most obvious outdoor option shall we? When we stare out the kitchen window during those winter days, we dream of enjoying a bit of alfresco dining come June, but with only a shabby old patio set available, you might not do it quite as often as you’d like. However, over on our outdoor dining blog post this week, we featured some excellent Marks and Spencer voucher codes that save you 20% on selected stylish outdoor dining items, but that’s not all. We also appreciate that not everyone is about the posh decking and outdoor buffet, so we’ve also sourced savings from Joules for classy picnicware and The White Company for some atmospheric outdoor lighting. So take advantage of these Marks and Spencer voucher codes and other savings before the dark evenings start to draw in again.

Fantastic Festival Fashion

If you’ve been enjoying the Glastonbury coverage from the comfort of your own home over the weekend, it’s not too late to book yourself a real life festival experience later on in the summer. But as well as wellies and a waterproof tent, you also require some suitable festival fashion, and these days online savings such as the latest MissPap coupon codes cater very well for this specific requirement. Not only do they have a dedicated festival fashion page, but you can also use these MissPap discount codes (as featured in our festival fashion blog post) to get 10% off your order. And in the aforementioned blog post, we’ve also sourced festival deals from Rock My Vintage and Motel rocks to cover a wide variety of different fashion tastes.

Everyone’s Favourite Furry Friend

This week saw the UK’s National Bring Your Dog to Work Day, but don’t worry if you missed out because as all good dog-owners know, there’s really no need for a special day to treat your pooch. To celebrate this annual occasion, we put together a selection of online doggy savings in our National Bring Your Dog to Work Day blog post covering top quality food, toys and treats for both owner and pet with the latest Dogalogue promomtional codes. And did you know that using Dogalogue discount vouchers means your money goes towards The Guide Dogs for the Blond Association? Well, now you do, and that’s even more of an incentive to use them!

The outdoors isn’t for everyone, but with these Marks and Spencer voucher codes, MissPap discount vouchers and Dogalogue promo codes, we can certainly cater for a large section of the outdoor-loving population. Come back next week for even more summer-themed saving and ideas that could help you appreciate the great outdoors even more…

It’s All About the Summer Savings

Yes, with our Fashion World voucher codes, as well as many other current savings, we’re 100% summer this week. The hot weather is officially here (apart from the odd rainy day), so there’s no excuse not to stock up on the last of those summer essentials, or even book a last minute dream holiday in some faraway destination. Over on the My Favourite Voucher Codes blog we’ve been researching the latest summer savings covering everything from summer haircare to long haul holidays, so we reckon you’re bound to find something you need over the next few months right here…

Summer Fashion for Curvy Figures

There’s no reason for anyone to cover up in the warm weather, and over on our blog post for plus size summer fashion, we found some excellent items that combine both cutting edge style and value for money. As well as savings from well-known high street names like New Look (did you know that do a plus size range?), there are plenty of deals from lesser known online specialists too, a great example of which are the latest Fashion World voucher codes that can save you 20% on your first order. This retailer covers sizes from 12-34, meaning that these Fashion World voucher codes really do have something for everyone, and when that ‘something’ is a huge range of stylish summer clothes to suit even the most die-hard of fashionistas, then all the better.

Summer Haircare Tips and Savings

All this hot weather is fantastic for you sun worshippers out there, but spare the occasional thought (and conditioning treatment) for your precious locks, which will inevitably struggle in the heat. In our summer haircare blog post, not only have we put together some top conditioning tips for keep your hair in the best shape possible, but we’ve got haircare promotional codes and discount vouchers a-plenty that can help you save on some of your favourite premium haircare brands including L’Oreal Professionel and Moroccanoil.

Who have thought it? Actually, while we’re talking travel, we’d like to swap the rather dreary term ‘long haul’ for something altogether more exciting – ‘dream destination’. So to book that ‘dream destination’ trip to the Caribbean, Florida, Mauritius or Costa Rica (as well as many other locations), have a look and save with those lastminute.com coupon codes along with other savings from Thomas Cook and First Choice Holidays.
