This I thought was good hex bugs at half price
www.thetoyshop.com/Collectibles/Electronic-collectibles/Hexbug-Nano-Habitat-Set/p/452078

They also have got the hex bugs case for £5

Also I was in the entertainer and they had buy one get one free on little engineers Thomas and friends wooden engines, can't find them on line though.

Quick question for anyone who's received their mb goodies...

Is the free gift box big enough to accommodate the free full size shower gel along with my purchase (hand wash)?

Trying to decide whether I'll get away with putting it together along with the free mini sample for mil or whether to get the masculine freebie instead for bil...

Thanks

Heavywheezing · 18/10/2012 18:18

No the box is not big enough

BuffyFairy · 18/10/2012 18:23

My MB stuff came gift boxed together so full size body lotion, free shower gel and trial size in the one box.

Pastabee · 18/10/2012 18:34

3in2years mine came with full sized hand wash, full sized hand lotion and sample in it.

I ordered it all separately with the £10 off code and emailed asking them to pack it together.

Thanks for M B Code - using THANKS, just got a good gift for men of a tube of shave cream, a full 300ml of shower wash and a free trail gift all boxed for £20. would have cost £38 without code!

Is there a free p and p for moulton brown or is it 4.95 just trying to do calculations which is the best offer.

Parrish · 18/10/2012 19:09

It's not 50% off toys a Sainsburys this year apparently. More like up to 40%......please someone say that's wrong! Shock

MooseyMoo · 18/10/2012 20:14

Who was after Hollister? They have a sale on but their postage is £10

Hollister Sale

Piemistress · 18/10/2012 20:33

Cant remember if this has been said but if you have a molton Brown shop near you (not a concession) then its worth buying this months Marie Claire mag as there is an actual £10 off voucher on pg 33 so would save postage plus get free l'occitane hand cream

Bugseylugs Book People have sold out of The Jolly Christmas Postman book. But Red House (affiliate company?) still have it in stock. Hardback half price reduced from £12.99 to £6.49. Mine arrived today from Red House, DD (4YO) will love opening all the letters! Someone had a free delivery code earlier up the thread too.

Disney Store Animator dolls are down to £15 from £20. Trying to decide whether to order one for my dd and which one to get!!

SayHelloToMyLittleFriend · 18/10/2012 20:38

131FREE is the delivery code for Red House, my Jolly Postman book arrived today dd will love it :)

everydayaschoolday · 18/10/2012 20:44

Maytheodds I bought the Innotab 2 last month from Studio 24. It is currently still at their 'sale' price of £64.99 down from £84.99. It was the best deal I could find at the time, don't know if there are any better deals now.

Sayhellotomylittlefriend cheers for Red House code Smile

bugsylugs · 18/10/2012 20:51

Thanks for redhouse code yes saw book people did not have it

platespinnermum · 18/10/2012 20:54

Anyone found a bargain price on the LeapPad2?

SayHelloToMyLittleFriend · 18/10/2012 20:59

Got my order from GLTC today and they sent me another code, HIGH5 for £5 off when you spend £30.

notso · 18/10/2012 21:01

Thanks Moosey a few bits for DD from there, postage is high but they ship from USA so it includes taxes etc.

I second the Marie Claire offer if you can get to a Molton Brown shop. The l'occitane hand cream is lovely. I bought 3 mags, DS's teachers are going to benefit from two of the handcreams!

SminkoPinko · 18/10/2012 21:01

Superb gap codes.:) Thanks.

I got my sudzfun soaps today- absolutely beautiful items. Not cheap as chips but even the smaller ones I ordered for £2.50 each are real gift quality. The £4 dinosaur one is a work of art! Highly, highly recommended. Thank you, iloveblue. Can't wait for the named flannels (which really were a bargain!) to arrive to go with them.

And Littlewoods has redeemed itself for being pricey before the application of the code with super speedy dispatch!

I'm now totally sorted for all the young kids I know! I need more stuff for the men in my life (incl. my teen boys) and something lovely for my sister but I reckon I'm about half way there... And this is from a lastminute.commer- I don't think I've ever bought a Christmas present in November before, let alone October!

Does anyone know where the cheapest place is to buy the Lego Friends Olivia's house from. I've only managed to find it for £65 which I feel is a little steep..

izzywizzyisbizzy · 18/10/2012 21:06

Be careful with the dressing gowns from Argos, DH collected mine this evening and they forgot to give him the slippers which means I now have to go back there again.

PopGoesTheWeeble · 18/10/2012 21:10
