I need to do Christmas cheaply I need to start now don't I?

[storminabuttercup]

DS will be 2.4, loves Thomas, going to get some take n play but need stocking fillers etc, thinking if between now and Christmas I buy little bits to put away it won't be so hard, can anyone recommend good places to look?

Poundland, superdrug, tesco, elc, amazon, asda (brill for toys) The works. His age he won't need much though will he ?

I've just ordered a book for my friends DD from play but dispatched from the works, half the price of amazon and free delivery from play!! Bargain. Will look at the other places thank you. Im just as clueless to be honest. Going to start asking for help for everyone else!

What about this if he has a bike

In fact, loads of Thomas stuff here

Bea that site is brilliant, the die cast trains are very good prices! Thank you!

Asda sell busy books, which are a story book with a box behind it that has a play mat and 12 figures for £5. They have Thomas and loads of Disney ones. I've been buying a few of those as stocking fillers for DD/small gift for friend's DC.

DD is 2 and she has the Mickey mouse one and loves it.

And if you catch it right (not that I do) they reduce them to a couple of pounds everynow and then, but to be honest £5 is a good price, they go for £10 new on ebay and Amazon.

Elc is changing Happyland, so they have some of the old sets for half price, if thay are of intrest to any one. The DC won't know they are not the new model and I don't rate the new model to be honest.

what about , bath crayons, magic flannel, toy car , bubbles, choc coins, orange, little top/jimjams , jigsaws, magnetic letters , books, dvds (poundland) magazine (cbeebies)

Colouring books / sticker books etc??

Sainsburys had some major bargains, loads of stuff reduced to under a pound.

Home Bargains have Thomas cups in at the moment, like a drinking glass with a straw (and a lid!) and a floating Thomas in the bottom of it with some glitter, I got one for 2.4yo DD in the week and she loves it - £1.79!

They also have a Thomas jigsaw puzzle book for £1.99 - big board book and each page has a jigsaw on it - there's something like 5 of them in the book.

Ebay is your friend.

Get some bits now whilst hardly anyone is thinking about Christmas. It will be much cheaper. :)

Ooh that sounds good I remember DD had one of th she loved it was a wallace and grommit one :-D

Flisspaps - a jigsaw book? You'll be recommending moonsand next!

dd will be 2y3m at Christmas, dont buy too much imo, theyll be overwhelmed.

Brilliant! Thanks for all these! I've made notes!!

A jigsaw book, it's great for £2, big pieces and has amused DD for ages.

Not sure why you think I'd be recommending moonsand though, surely everyone knows its crap?!

Jigsaw books are the work of the devil but I suppose only in my correct opinion. All the ones we have are jigsaw pieces that are flimsy, get bent and then all fall out.

Just ordered loads of die cast vehicles from model zone they are great prices, will report back on
Quality when they arrive.
