Thread four already.

As previously, if you shot a link in the OP links isn’t working/no longer in date, please let me know by posting in bold so I can easily see to update Thanks

Ahem, I can’t actually remember if I updated the links from 2 threads ago. I think I have, but I’m not sure. If you spot any links that don’t work and you’ve already told me please tell me again in bold Thanks and sorry.

I've managed to get as far as half way through the last one (I know, I know, could do better) so if there's anything you think from the last thread that got missed off please let me know and I'll amend for next one.

Not sure if its been posted or any help but BHS have 20% off fashion and home until sunday with code online20 or 10% off electrical and furniture with code online10
Not sure if its any help?
They do have the discount in store too (thats where I used it!) but need to show them the email... Maybe if you told them the discount code but oops left the email at home they may still give it??

Is it polite to say, ahem, um, I bought those fridge magnets last year and they are barely worth 68p. The magnets are so weak they hardly stay on the fridge. They look fine from the front, exactly as they look in the pictures, but are very thin with hot gun glue sticking the magnets on the back. Defiantly you pay for what you get there.

Elc have reduced a few bits of their summer happyland range. The beach hut, prince George's birthday, World Cup football, wedding carriage, vintage car and horse, are all half price, there's a set of spacemen down from £8 to £2.50, and my favourite mouse cupcake cafe has £2 off.
happyland . Don't forget quidco (check elc and mothercare on quidco as they occasionally have different rates)

LottieAndTheDinosaur · 15/08/2014 09:56

Thanks Bicycle I've just bought the HappyLand spaceman set....despite a promise to myself not to buy any more happyland stuff...oh dear!

Littlemousewithcloggson · 15/08/2014 10:09

Livvy, took my 3 year old on 9 hour flight to Florida and favourites on plane (apart from inflight movie!) were
Squinkies
Finger puppets
Game of snap
Mini colouring and sticker books
Plasticine
Leap pad with new (cheap) games downloaded
Few small pieces of playmobil

All fit in a small rucksack for her. Obviously snacks went down well too!

nais · 15/08/2014 10:35

Have read through the thread and started picking up a few bit as stocking fillers. Dont know if this would appeal to any others but my ds(9) loves making films on his ipad so have ordered this:

Thanks Nais, my DC's would like that too.

KEGirlOnFire · 15/08/2014 15:19

Well, I can't actually believe that I am writing this... but the frozen soft toddler dolls I ordered from aliexpress last friday (yes this time last week!) have arrived already and are amazing!!!! Again I'm sure they can't be real disney store ones but they have disney store labels and tags. I am so thrilled!!! Going to order some more if think!!!

admiralclingus · 15/08/2014 15:32

Anyone still looking fir a frozen elsa dress sign up to the social discount network as they have them for £8.99 + p&p (usually about £3) but you have to be a member to view the offers. Reduced from £24.99 so presumably the Disney ones?

RosieBdy · 15/08/2014 18:18

Livvy I took a packet of pipe cleaners on a long flight and they were great! Fit easily into bag, but you can challenge the family to make different things glasses, animals, people, hairbands, hair clips etc and reuse them. We even ended up with other passengers near us joining in and entertaining our little ones!

freedom2post · 15/08/2014 18:40

KE Girl could you share the name of the seller please Smile

JerseySpud · 15/08/2014 19:01

KEGirlOnFire · 15/08/2014 19:50

Shen yuan's store - freedom. That's the seller. :-)

freedom2post · 15/08/2014 20:07

Thanks KEgirl have just ordered two toddler dolls from the same seller!

May order Olaf as well if I like these two.

Really appreciate you posting the quality and the seller Thanks Smile

WheresTheCoffee · 15/08/2014 20:09

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of character.com! I placed my order yesterday and this afternoon it arrived Smile
I ordered two sets of pj's (Star Wars and Toys Story). The sizing looks right and the quality seems good, amazing value for £2.95 and £3.95!

PickleMobile · 15/08/2014 20:13

My first present from Aliexpress has arrived in about a week, spongebob 'lego' figures. I'm impressed, they come in a box just in little bags and you have to make them up yourself. DH will enjoy those for his birthday or Christmas! Still got the marvel minifigures to come and my ITNG and peppa pig stuff but I'm feeling muh more hopeful now!

PickleMobile · 15/08/2014 20:15

I have also ordered 2 lots of the handkerchiefs from John Lewis. Had to pay for del though as I live miles away from a JL or Waitrose.

And I ordered the loom bands from amazon for my neices birthday.

SalemsCity · 15/08/2014 20:44

My minecraft plushes came today. Thanks to whoever posted them Flowers.

I picked up Monopoly for £4 reduced from £20 in my local asda yesterday. They were reducing a few random toys - duplo sets, puzzles... but only a crate full at the front of the shop and it was being descended on by vulture-like shoppers including me so god knows what, if anything, will be left now. But might be worth checking your local shop if you're near one. Also their clothing dept had a pretty good sale on and managed to pick up some bits for the dc.
