Mumsnet discount partners - who would you like a discount from?

Hi all,
We are aiming to be a bit more proactive about approaching companies to get discounts for mumsnet members but before we did we'd thought we'd throw it over to you guys. Which companies are on your wish list for 10% or so off? Can't promise they'll play ball but promise to try any where there's a consensus. (feel free to nominate more than one by the way)
Many thanks in advance,
Justine, Carrie and Rachel

I'm really disappointed now - went to play.com hoping for a children's toy paradise....

What about a cloth nappy seller - I'd suggest twinkle twinkle (though I know PHP do them too, just never got 'into' them)
Also letterbox?
Waitrose/ocado no use round here, wouldn't use it anyway.
Other suggestions I would use:
orchard toys
verbaudet
lakeland
Wouldn't turn my nose up at jojomamanbebe or blooming marvellous either.

Another vote for play.com

Kiddicare too. There's been loads of rave reviews on here for them.

Kiwidad (e3 explorer man) should give a discount for the amount of free publicity he's had on here!

Dmum · 17/03/2004 19:58

Boots, Mothercare, Grobag(think they're Bump to 3 now?, Argos, Babiesrus, Amazon.

tigermoth · 17/03/2004 19:56

Lol and agree tinker!

Extending my wish list to include special offers, not just discounts:

Cut price theatre tickets for children's shows

Offers on YHA membership and family rooms (four nights for the price of three perhaps - they did this one year). The YHA seem desperate for new members and want an image change (away from single, young people) so it might be good to approach them.

Offers for legoland and other such attractions.

Discount at Hennes

babbington house
myla or figleaves

Seriously I think M+S or perhaps petrol...
As we are moving a real esate agent discount would be good
Tops
Ocado - I'd use it most definitely!
I've used the Boden one loads too

I would agree with most, especially mailorderexpress and Hawkin. Ocado no good for those of us in the frozen north

nutcracker · 17/03/2004 17:45

Oh they've all been said i think.
