Seven threads already Shock

Massive congrats to girl and thanks for supplying me with the thread title Grin . Definitely call her reastie if it’s a girl actually would work for a boy too

I’ve been a bit sporadic with this OP once again in what has been selected for adding in or not as there are too many links to add them all in, hope I haven’t forgotten anything major. Please forgive the fact that so many sale and amazon products aren’t individually linked or are linked but price may since change by the time you click on it - so many of them are out of stock and amazon seem to change prices on an almost hourly basis (it feels like) on a number of items that were previously linked to. I haven’t checked all links to see if prices have altered since last thread so apologies if youg et very excited followed by disappointed. I will try to do better next time. As usual please tell me if any of these links/codes don’t work or if there’s anything particularly you want to be in the next OP (assuming there is another Wink ) how would I do any shopping without you now

Thanks for all your help in helping my christmas shopping in 2013 be once again bargainous Grin

Thank you :) Both boys under 5, I might have deleted without realising! Will pay more attention for DS1's birthday coming up.

Chocolateteabag · 21/09/2013 15:10

Joymaker - friend and I have both bought the space stations for our soon to be 3 year old DS's - but I thin that it should last them through to 6-7 but be played with differently IYKWIM

PhantomMenace · 21/09/2013 16:03

Another book but it looks lovely here Might be nice for Christmas eve hampers?

Eddas · 21/09/2013 16:09

janx is it you looking for Harry Potter things? I don't have any codes but from my experience trying to find things for Ds' bday in april new things are few and far between. I managed to get the book of monsters on Asda but the other things I bought were all from ebay, things are quite pricey on there. oh actually, there were outfits/wands in the local dressing up shop and apparently there is a section in Hamleys, I think it was all a bit expensive though. Not sure that helped at all but thought i'd share my HP buying experiences!!

RhondaJean · 21/09/2013 16:12

Absolutely of no use to anyone else but I had to share and I thought you lot would appreciate it!

Dd1 has asked for a Gameboy colour and pokemon games for birthday/Xmas. I've managed to get the Pokemon pikachu special edition Gameboy on amazon and I've been looking for the games. They're at least £15 each on amazon and I keep losing eBay auctions.

I've just won my first eBay auction!! I bid on another Gameboy because it came with the rechargeable battery pack and four Pokemon games, I got it for £33 plus £7 delivery so £40 all in, four games would be £60 battery pack is at least £5 so I've saved £25 so far and I can relist the console on its own as well and maybe get £10-£20 back.

Happy little dance.

BettyandDon · 21/09/2013 16:14

Oh I'm so pleased I got my lovely honeybee oven for £35, 50% off from letterbox. Plus a market stall and cake things.

Missed out on art display frame - out of stock.

What a lovely threadSmile

joymaker · 21/09/2013 16:17

Thanks Chocolate, I bought it (and made sure I paid with paypal just in case re comments above). DS1 will be 3.8 at christmas so I'll give it to him then from the GP, they always give me money to buy the DC something they'd like. In any case I have a DS who's 14 months so I'm sure he will be playing with it in due course Smile

joymaker · 21/09/2013 16:21

Good for you Rhonda! Ebay can be a hard place at times Grin

roslet · 21/09/2013 16:35

I'm really pleased to have got lots of dressing up in the Letterbox sale. The tiger costumes will keep my two warm when we visit the grandparents after Christmas in their freezing house! Also got Buzz Lightyear costume and some princess dresses. Slightly regretting some arty purchases.....do I really want my 3 year old making a gluey painty mess in the kitchen on Christmas morning?

SandyChick · 21/09/2013 16:59

I just wanted to mention about the ELC birthday club codes. My ds was 6 last month and we never received a code. Called ELC maybe 2 weeks ago to check if it was because he was too old now and the lady apologised, never mentioned any age restriction and give me a code Grin

I know people who register made up children to get a code too.

RhondaJean · 21/09/2013 17:05

Not wonderful but LOBSTER will give you 20 percent off everything at great little trading company if it is any use to anyone.

LalyRawr · 21/09/2013 17:20

If anyone had any unwanted books or used games lying around, Amazon do a trade in with the money going onto an Amazon gift card.

I just got £20 for three PS3 games and 4 books. Some books are only 25p, but one of mine was £3.50.

Same with games. One was 90p, one was a tenner. But handy if you were going to get rid of them anyway!

supermariossister · 21/09/2013 17:32

can anyone link to the rihanna free gift magazine subscription i cant seem to find it anywhere?

While I remember, might be a bit of a marmite thing but I bought this for my DC in the summer for £1.20 +p&p £1.26 from (Rapid-dvd) an alternative seller when it was £7.99 on amazon and they absloutely love it (and the garden). It has 'dirtgirlworld' seeds inside.

Would be a great stocking gift or as part of a 'bigger' garden themed gift for a little one.

lazzaroo · 21/09/2013 18:34

Not sure if they're you're thing but I quite like the covers that look like books...
