Thanks for that recommendation Tweetytwat - have just bought two sets of eggs for babies I know.

snowgirl1 · 27/11/2013 16:17

theonlyoneIknow I got my gran The Peoples Friend magazine and she was probably more excited about that than anything else I'd bought her for a present

Or Saga have a magazine that's (obviously) aimed at older poeple.

Worth a look in the Next clearance if you have a party to go to. I just ordered a pretty Lipsy dress for £20.

MrsBungleScare · 27/11/2013 16:26

Has anyone seen reasonably priced 'tummy stuffers'? There is a pink cat one in Argos for £19.99 but my two nephews want one, and they would not appreciate pink!

All the others I can find are £40! Shock

Auntiebaba · 27/11/2013 16:31

Sorry joymaker' I've no experience of this as my dd is a bit too old for it now but it looked fun!

IHeartKingThistle · 27/11/2013 16:40

Thanks for all the suggestions re: spare necklace. Will have a think! Grin at Jesus Christ.

confused what benefit bargains do you speak of?

tryingforsolong · 27/11/2013 16:41

boring but has anyone found any nice slippers going cheap? DH has requested something warm and a full shoe, not mules! Thanks

tryingforsolong · 27/11/2013 16:45

similar to tummy stuffers?

notso · 27/11/2013 16:50

JustShabby yay! Brew I'm glad you got one, hope you enjoy it.

I snorted my tea at the Jesus necklace!

SarahPercyAndBill · 27/11/2013 16:53

Trying, I got these and another lovely pair not online at my local tkmaxx for £30 (they were real sheepskin and nicer than ones I could find at john lewis for twice the price.). Tk maxx had a range of all sorts from about £12-30.

astonvanilla · 27/11/2013 17:26

Thanks DrankSangria... thought I must be doing something wrong!

ShinyBauble · 27/11/2013 17:37

MrsBungle look on home bargains quickly - they have them for £1.99 instead of £10 (not sure if they are slightly smaller versions).

The also had some in The Range - I think for £7 or £10 instead of £10 or £14 (sorry so many bargains spinning around I can't remember which is the right set of prices for the range Blush).

soundstrue · 27/11/2013 18:11

There were light sabers in B&M today. They did light up but I couldn't see a price on them.

MrsKnowName · 27/11/2013 18:24

thanks for all the suggestions. im still catching up on the thread. pesky dcs have kept me away Grin i love the finger puppets idea. could make a theatre that day.

MrsBungleScare · 27/11/2013 18:25

Thanks trying I think they want actual tummy stuffers but those look good for my dd!

Thank you also zipzap, I can't see the tummy stuffers on either home bargains or the range :( I do have both of those near me, though, so I'll pop tomorrow and see of they have them in store.

Reastie · 27/11/2013 18:30

Right, I thought we were having no secret santa this year but it seems we are. If you have any generic cheap ideas for things which will arrive in the next week they would be most gratefully received. I don't actually find out who my secret santa is until a few days before it all kicks off which wouldn't give me time to buy bargainous stuff and have it delivered! We have to do token treats for a whole week so need a number of things Hmm .

notso I saw you on the mn recommends email :)

No sandersons email for me yet :(

carmon I have a kindle fire. I can go online, download apps, listen to music, read books, play games etc on it. It's fab.

mrsknowname what about buying a busy book? They have little play characters in them you could give one character a day. DD has the minnie mouse one which was £4 and has about 12 characters.

theigg I got a hamster with my set. Maybe they can't guarantee hamster with every set as they might do different packs depending on what they've got in stock

Am confused. Have received an email from Amazon telling me that the Linkee board game (which is on my wish list) is included in today's Black Friday offers.

Have been at work all day but just been on to the deals and can't see Linkee as either an expired or upcoming offer? Have I missed it? If it pops up tomorrow can somebody give me a shout please? (Am working until lunchtime so fingers crossed I can catch it!) TIA

Justshabbynochic · 27/11/2013 18:35

Typical DP...said to him in a sing-song voice "I've ordered something you're gonna loooove. And it was a bargaaaain," referring to the aforementioned coffee machine to which he replied

"Hope it's a colour printer!"

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 27/11/2013 18:48

Can anyone remind me of the linky to the absolutely gorgeous handkerchiefs???

Thanks

MrsLoveBucket · 27/11/2013 19:07

Reastie - do you have any Flavourly stuff you could do up for your secret santa?

LaTrucha · 27/11/2013 19:07

Am I the only one who is a bit underwhelmed by the lightning deals? I must be spoilt by this thread Grin
