Also agree with the flik flak one - they are made by swatch, I think the easiest place to buy in online

Does he like Lego? They do Star Wars ones, which I have got for DS1 and DS2 this year. Should be on the Lego website.

Amazon have a great range of childrens watches, pirate one from £6.85 etc. Some from sellers but you can filter the sellers out to just see Amazon and hopefully you'll get free postage.

HappyMummy how do you filter out the sellers on Amazon?

Thanks

MiaWallace, search for the item you're after, down the left hand side you can choose by seller and filter Amazon - or choose the option "can be dispatched by Amazon same day" if you want to just look at in stock items rather than all of them.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
