What can I buy from Argos for £4ish to win a bet?

I have £4 worth of Argos vouchers that run out on Friday.
Dh tried to throw them in the bin this morning, saying that I wouldn’t be able to get anything worth having with them without adding a lot on.
I need to win this bet as I lost the last one and haven’t lived it down.

I thought I’d cracked it when I found a pair of slippers but you have to pay online for TU clothes and the vouchers can’t be used online.
We have a 2 year old so stocking filers are a possibility. Please hit me with your best suggestions so that I can wipe the smug look off dh’s face.

I’ve just found this thread via a ‘mumsnet recommends’ email that linked to a ‘mumsnet best recommendations of 2018’ article. I still had no idea what an ‘Argos raven’ was because obvs no link and no description in the article - rude!
So then I searched Talk for Argos Raven and came across this beauty of a thread.

Of course no ravens are in stock now, it’s not the season for them but I am sans and also Terribly, Terribly sad.

But you’ve all entertained me with snorty laughs for the past 40 mins!

Oh goodness HOW did i miss this thread?? I want a raven but guess ill have to wait until this Halloween (when they will no doubt by over £10!!!)

"...I know, I know, it's seriouuuuus"

Triskaidekaphilia · 01/01/2019 20:12

Get it in time for Halloween, and instead of doing Elf on the Shelf you could have Raven in the Haven.
This was my first thought reading through. Although the rhyme's not quite as good I suggest 'Raven in the Oven'

importantkath · 01/01/2019 15:37

I dressed my raven up and gifted it to my sister. She found this thread and loves it!

EggysMom · 01/01/2019 14:14

I feel sad that I missed all this fun! The 'hide and find' games between the OP and her DH remind me of the games we play with Elf as Christmas approaches. Elf is meant to be for our son, but he's autistic and doesn't get the joke understand.

Brilliant

Weenurse · 31/12/2018 00:47

Reading this has been a lot of fun!

Minerva and her elf hat. Loving the Christmas ravens.

rainbowquack · 01/12/2018 20:20

I can't stop laughing!

rainbowquack · 01/12/2018 20:19

I have finally finished my ravens tutu and my daughter has made 'Bridgette' a matching tiara.

AbsolCatly · 01/12/2018 10:59

Merry C-raven-mas

Biddie191 · 30/11/2018 09:49

Just to clarify.....

nevermorelenore · 29/11/2018 16:34

Oops, link doesn’t seem to be working. Or they’ve collapsed under the demand. Just search for poodle and you’ll find it.

nevermorelenore · 29/11/2018 14:33

Here’s the link to crazy ass poodle-deer: direct.asda.com/george/christmas-shop/room-decorations/white-poodle-christmas-ornament/050470673,default,pd.htm

Not going to lie, I’m tempted. But DH will think I’ve truly lost the plot of raven suddenly had a friend.

Biddie191 · 29/11/2018 14:29

I need the link - perfect present for those who have everything and who you feel obliged to buy something for, even though they will treat it with disdain

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 29/11/2018 11:46

My local Argos has them in stock for €0.49...

AlpacaLypse · 29/11/2018 10:54

How did I miss this first time out??

Biddie191 · 29/11/2018 10:04

That truly is a thing of wonder

nevermorelenore · 28/11/2018 18:34

I’ve found the perfect Christmas companion for your raven. Weird reindeer/poodle thing from Asda.
