I saw christmas jumpers in primark yesterday and selection boxes in tesco Grin I just had to share that with others who'd appreciate it. Merry christmas everyone x

This ELC Princess dress up doll sticker and colouring book is fab for bday gifts or as a stocking filler and now £2 - less than half price on ELC and Mothercare websites. My DD loved hers and it kept her entertained for days (she does LOVE sticker books)!

Sorry to have missed it but what is this zoo book everyone is talking about?

EvilHerbivore · 05/09/2014 15:46

Thinking of doing Christmas hampers for some members of extended family with a Christmas mug, Christmas tea and coffee and some Christmas biscuits, maybe some other bits? Is there anyway to do it on a budget? Would like to do maybe 4 for £20?

Fear I think it's Zoo ology

waithorse · 05/09/2014 16:22

What age range is the zoo book good for, please ?

Feartheescalator · 05/09/2014 16:31

Thanks Ruby, the book looks fab

Allyblaster · 05/09/2014 16:31

The Works have a Frozen 2015 calendar for £5 today. There is 30% off some items on the site too (not the calendar though)!

iloveholidays · 05/09/2014 16:35

Has anyone ordered a flying elsa doll from Ali express please?

margaritasbythesea · 05/09/2014 16:36

Yes. It is that one. I would say that for mine the appeal is short lived as there are no facts about the animals apart from a few listed at the back. Lots of unusual ones though.

Nix01 · 05/09/2014 17:13

I'm itching to order something from AliExpress, but alas no girl children to buy Frozen things for.

Has anyone bought anything Minecraft related on AliExpress? If so, what do you recommend?

lucysmam · 05/09/2014 17:30

Thanks parentally, I've been in town today & walked straight past the 99p shop. We're off for haircuts tomorrow though so will nip in for Advent calendars then Smile

lucysmam · 05/09/2014 17:31

ilove, dd2 has been eyeing up the Tinkerbell flying dolls lately, I saw them on Aliexpress so may order one next week. I'll report back here if I do!

WeAllHaveWings · 05/09/2014 17:36

Nix I ordered the minecraft plush (7 toys for £15ish) and minecraft keyrings (10 for £15ish) on Tuesday and got an email saying despatched on Wednesday so waiting not so patiently now.

The plush appear to be the same dimensions, labels as the amazon ones at £7 each so fingers crossed! (although it does seem too good to be true)

Hope they are good as ds(10) is minecraft mad!

WildFlowersAttractBees · 05/09/2014 18:16

Evil my local sainsburys have lots of mug sets with 70% off, some are still online at full price. Four mugs for under £4.

Starbucks sachets are available on Amazon - average £10 for 12 so 3 in each. Sainsburys do 8 giant shortbread (individually wrapped) for £2 so 2 each. Leaving £4 for tea.

BrucieTheShark · 05/09/2014 18:25

Yes I got the 10 key rings and they arrived after a couple of weeks or maybe even less. As far as I can see they are the same as the 'lucky dip' packets they were selling for £5 a go. But of course they put in 7 squillion sheep so you'd never have got the full set without going bankrupt and owning hundreds of sheep.

oh they've gone up a bit in price

BrucieTheShark · 05/09/2014 18:25

Minecraft key rings that is!

iloveholidays · 05/09/2014 18:27

Thanks Lucy. I'm tempted, there is a UK site selling them for £19.99 but reluctant to spend that as only just over £10 on Ali express. I think she orders in from China then sells on.

WildFlowersAttractBees · 05/09/2014 18:30

I took the plunge and ordered DD2 the 'Anna' dress. Hope she likes it!

iloveholidays · 05/09/2014 18:32

I still need to order the Anna dress, just not sure what size to go for. did you order bigger?
