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.

KEGIRL - have just recieved my Toddler Frozen dolls from the same seller as you.

They are fantastic! Bigger than I thought and lovely quality.

Really happy.

They took just over a week I think to get here.

Thank you for posting the seller's name. Thanks Thanks Thanks Smile

Just spotted this! Marking place! Thanks Reastie

freedom2post · 27/08/2014 11:10

I'm on phone livvy so can't link but if your able to search KEGIRLS posts on the last thread, that's where she gave me the seller's name on AliExpress

freedom2post · 27/08/2014 11:21

livvy it's Shen Yuan's store

KEGirlOnFire · 27/08/2014 11:36

Freedom, I'm so glad you like them Grin. I'm going to order the 50cm plush Olaf from the same seller!! Smile

Livvy, I posted the link further up this thread for Norks. Smile

WeHateAmy · 27/08/2014 11:37

Would everyone who has used the Ali Express site recommend Shen Yuan's Store in particular then?

I want to order something from them but feel a bit wobbly about it as I can't see the secure padlock on the website for paying. How has everyone paid?

Although Shen Yuan's feedback is good and people here seem to be getting their orders, I feel a bit nervous placing an order.

freedom2post · 27/08/2014 11:43

I've done the same KEGIRL Smile

I paid by normal debit card.

SayHelloToMyLittleFriend · 27/08/2014 11:45

Asda have the elsa dress back in stock incase anyone is still looking for one.

freedom2post · 27/08/2014 11:48

I just wish that same seller sold Anna dresses as I'm wary of buying them from just any old seller.

RosieBdy · 27/08/2014 11:49

sayhello I was about to say the same thing!!
Here £12.50

SayHelloToMyLittleFriend · 27/08/2014 11:53

Haha Rosie, looks like we're all searching for frozen bargains today

curiousgeorgie · 27/08/2014 12:24

I've managed to get my DD most of the frozen stuff she's asked for except for a Barbie sized Prince Hans and a Sven of a similar size... If anyone sees them please post on here Smile

TheFantasticMrsFox · 27/08/2014 12:31

Dangerous thread this :o
I have already purchased some Christmas socks for DM's stocking and the initialled snot ragshandkerchiefs for DH- and it's not even September :)

ASpiderInTheBath · 27/08/2014 13:10

Has anyone else given their dc stuff from the thread they were supposed to be keeping for Christmas Blush. Dd2 has had her asda Elsa dress as we were going to the Frozen sing-a-long and I knew she'd love to wear it there - she did, there were lots of little Elsa running around so I'm glad that I did. She is practically living in the thing now so I've ordered another dress for Christmas as this one is already starting to look like a rag! The other dress I ordered was from eBay though as I wasn't sure if the asda ones would be back in stock (just seen that thay are!). The eBay one was from China and around £8 including postage. Fingers crossed it's ok but dd is only going to eat, sleep and everything else in it so didn't want to spend a fortune. I also bought an Anna dress from the same seller. If they're any good when they arrive I will post links. Dd is a small 3 and wears 3-4 clothes. Hopefully the 4-5 I ordered will be ok. If not at least I have plenty of time to order more!

For anyone thinking of buying the asda dress, honestly do it. It's gorgeous. My dds have had many, many princess dresses over the years and this is by far the nicest, and at £12.50 probably the cheapest.

wigglesrock · 27/08/2014 13:15

iloveholidays thanks so much for the Joules link, I've ordered scarves and gloves and I may even decide not to keep them all for myself Smile . Between that and the Space NK stuff I got last month I have actually got the most awkward family members already sorted out yes sil I mean you

Badvoc123 · 27/08/2014 13:25

I haven't actually :)
Have ordered my dn an elsa dress for her b day in nov - must fight the urge to give it to her before then!
Got all of ds2s stuff now :)
Just need some more ideas for ds1.

Badvoc123 · 27/08/2014 13:26

Please could anyone point me in the direction of the Christmas personalised door mats? I like the sound of those but can't see the link? Thanks in advance

LalyRawr · 27/08/2014 13:49

If anyone is looking for Minion stocking filler stuff, Primark have a pretty cute kids umbrella for £4.

ASpiderInTheBath · 27/08/2014 13:49

Well done Badvoc, you are stronger than me Grin.

Was also tempted to hand the playmobil ambulance over to dd. She was playing with her playmobil people and one of them was 'injured' in the game. She used her diecast ambulance to attend the scene and said 'oh, I wish I had an ambulance she'd really go into'. It was so, so tempting but I stopped myself. Otherwise, come Christmas there'd be nothig left to wrap Grin
