Is there something you want to get as a present but just can't track down? Post it here and maybe somebody will either know where to find it, or will have one they no longer need.

I'm looking for the Alex Rider Six Missions audio CD set which the Book People used to have, but which is now sold out - anybody got one which they've listened to and are now not using?

Have you tried Ebay? or Amazon??

LunarSea · 21/10/2010 09:19

It was £14.99 at the Book People - on Ebay people are trying to sell them for at least £39Shock My budget doesn't stretch that far! £27.50 inc postage used on Amazon is a little better but still almost double what they'd be new from the Book People.

No wonder Book People sold out! Can you contact them to see if more stock is coming? Big price difference, for sure...

Maybe just put an automatic daily search on ebay and you never know, a cheaper than £39 set might come up....

Have you tried asking WHSmiths/Waterstones etc if they can order them in for you?

I'm looking for something which I am not sure even exists. Dd1 would like an mp3 player. It must have:
The capacity to store and view video
Be able to view photos
Have games on it

She would prefer it to also have a camera. Does such a product exist without having an i on the front of it's name? I suspect what she is actually asking for is the ipod touch. She is not getting an ipod touch.

anonymousbrainsnatcher · 21/10/2010 09:58

Was about to say... ipod touch!

No idea, but I am in an earlier age bracket, so have not had to investigate such items yet (other than for myself of course Wink)

kimbles1984 · 21/10/2010 10:02

There are some mp4 players on ebay that seem to have cameras and games on, and can also play videos, around 30 pound if i remember correctly.

DooinMeCleanin · 21/10/2010 10:02

She is only 7. She is not getting an i anything that is more expensive than the shuffle. Still even an ipod touch is an improvemnt of last years request for her own laptop and a phone line in her bedroom Shock

Santa must have gotten his lists mixed up because he brought her a bike instead Grin

It doesnt say it has a camera, but if you enlarge the pic it shows an app that says camera??

DooinMeCleanin · 21/10/2010 10:15

Ah Amazon and ebay both have loads. So much more pops up the search results when you ask for mp4 players and not mp3 players Grin

Thank you kimbles.

dooinmecleanin - dd has one of these www.amazon.co.uk/VTech-Kidizoom-Multimedia-Digital-Camera/dp/B002KRBKXW/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1287655940&sr=8-10 which sounds like what shes after.

Whatsthetime - what a useful code. I'm off to that site sometime later today!

Thx

Desperately seeking, a kids small fold up trampoline

Must be:-
Fold up to pop behind bed for storage
Suitable for 18m old (But 2+ would be ok)
Prefer only Bob the Builder or plain but at this stage im not fussed!

And under £25 would be fab :o

Lindax · 23/10/2010 16:19

how about £25.21!. but it says 3+ years. Dont think you would get one that says 2+

MilkNoSugarPlease · 23/10/2010 16:24

You absolute STAR!!

Thats perfect!

the 3+ will be fine, dont intend on her using it unsupervised, so all good!

Thank You!!

What a great thread! I am seeking a pretty teapot for an 18yo girl who has just moved out. Something a bit late Emma Bridgewater stuff but a bit cheaper though.

TheRedSalamander · 25/10/2010 11:46

Great thread- I'm looking for club penguin books for 6 year old (just started reading so needs to be simple text, The Book People have a set but dont think he would be able to read it himself yet) and club penguin puffle hoodies- have seen them for older children but not for age 6.

Hope someone knows where they can be found!

Hello, can I have some help please?

I'm looking for a toddler table with a raised edge so that pens and bits won't always be on the floor. With or without chairs.

Thanks everso if you can guide me at all.

TheRedSalamander · 27/10/2010 14:38

ELC have these- although I thik they're quite expensive. There are quite a few on ebay at the mo (I'm looking too!) Normally called train tables I think.

ZENZIZENZIZENZIC · 27/10/2010 14:55

Argos have a train table, until Sunday there is also a £10 voucher for a £50 spend and a £20 voucher for £100 spend.
