Ooh, forgot to add my bargain! I bought 6 of these to go with presents I have the works secret Santa too so unless I get a bloke will use one for that.

I've just ordered some bath bombs thanks moosey

Marking place...this thread is the one that is going to see me finish shopping for everyone who doesn't live in my house. That is Mum, Stepdad, Dad, Stepmum, Mum in law, 5 brothers, 6 sis in laws, 2 sisters, 3 brother in laws, 11 cousins and 6 other random people (friends/secret santas etc)

Phew that is a lot of presents...38 in total!!

Then I can finish off my 3 dc and DH!!

Bloody hell no wonder I always panic at Christmas...Not this year though thanks to you lot!

Aaaaaargh!!!!!!! Just realised I have 4DC not 3

Sorry DS2 you're only 5 months I can be forgiven for forgetting him can't I??

Survival just seen your post, so sorry.

Glaikit, those are brilliant, thanks

I think thats allowed :) ds wont mind he is not at the age to go muuuuuum i want this when an advert comes on tv :D

In other news i am spending money like its going out of fashion...

supermariosister I was just thinking about you and yours yesterday and wondered under what guise you were posting. Glad to hear things are better for you this year. Hope you have a good one x

Jacqueline! That's funny, although once you get over two dcs it must be easy to forget!

:) glad i spotted you again i was wondering if you were still here!

Ooh new thread. Dont know what to get my sisters. Usually its scarves or something but apparently tgey have too many says my mother.

Has anyone seen nice little Christmas packaging boxes? They'd probably need to be about 15cm2?

I'm gutted the cath kidtson necklace is out. Of stock. Would have npbeen perfect for SIL.

Struggling for the mans in my life, any help gratefully received. :)

JustBecause thank you for the feedback on photobox, I will stick with them.

Oreo interesting info on Groupon offer - do you think it will be less than £7.50 or should I just go for that?

I think I am developing a phobia of not getting the best deal!

Does anyone know when the next Sainsburys toy sale is on??

Thank you to whoever suggested the cycling snood thing on the other thread, will be getting that.

Any other cycling bargains will be gratefully considered

I've never used groupon, am a bit confused as to what one does with it.....do they provide a voucher code which you then use on the normal site? Or do you buy through the groupon site?

Justbecause it can be both. Depends on individual deals. Although toys tend to be direct from groupon. Ime that is.

Hollister have their mid season sale on. Up to 50% off and free delivery for over £75.

Thinking about a remote control car or 4x4 vehicle for my 3 1/2 DS. I have seen lots but wondered if anyone could recommend a decent quality robust one. He has a roary racing car and a tesco carousel car, both are well used but think he would like something with more functions.

can't seem to do links on my phone but Amazon have HotWheels track set bundle at £16.70 or thereabouts, 34% off. This set is good for making up your own tracks or adding to existing. My DS plays with his simple gravity set loads, got it at tesco for £7 in the summer.

LittleMouse,

IKEA has a cardboard puppet theatre front for £5 inc puppets. It's obviously not a full fledged theatre, just a propped up board, but it might do!
IKEA Finger Puppet "Theatre"

They also have a shop front/market stall which might double up as a puppet theatre (a bit of a stretch maybe)

If you are near a Tiger Stores, they have a doorway puppet theatre for around £6. Plus a cardboard puppet theatre + Little Red Riding Hood set of dolls for £8 I think. Cant find any links on the site though!

Fizzy there's another one in the sale on ASOS that's plain burgundy, slightly more expensive - maybe £11? Does that help at all?

Oh there is a tiger in out mall!

Thanks Moosey - I just ordered the toy story bath bubble gun. Not bad at £6.00 but even better at £4.00! Perfect for my friend's little boy
