I can't find any normal bell shaped bells that jingle Confused Think I'm going to order the ones I linked to first on payday & then some ribbony stuff to put them on.

mamapants · 09/09/2014 14:03

To clarify that is a little shop for playing shopkeepers.
Will need to source a till and food for it now.

SisterMoonshine · 09/09/2014 14:13

I keep looking at these. There are cheaper ones too.
It looks like the package is quite small, so would need some fluffing up when they arrive.
Look cute though.

I was starting to get a bit worried that DD may be bored of Frozen by Xmas... but as they've now announced that Frozen 2 is coming out after Xmas, I imagine we've made the right decision buying it all now because there will be nothing left soon I imagine!!

Those looking for a decent Xmas present for DParents or DPIL, if you keep an eye on the 'Highclere Castle' website (Downton Abbey) they do a lovely Gift package of two tickets to go to the castle and a lovely book (signed by the real 'Countess of Highclere'. It's not cheap, about £70 but if they really already have everything, it's worth it as a joint present... The castle is near Newbury so not too bad for South-West and Londoners.

Couple of stocking fillers here:
Inflatable frog with moustache if you scroll down there are also cheap nemo/monkey/zebra/flamingo and snake inflatables - dd wants a frog for Christmas so this is as close as I am willing to go! Was a toss up between that and the dinosaur dino
For anyone getting a kitchen set, this pan set seems extensive for the price toy cookware
Also this Train name set
And finally a novelty item for the pet in your life traumatised dog outfit Grin

SisterMoonshine · 09/09/2014 14:22

actually, they're only £6 ish on ebay.

Notso · 09/09/2014 14:25

mamapants that shop is lovely. I wish I had somewhere to put it,

o0 · 09/09/2014 14:28

These are the type I bought. There's different sizes, mines were tiny ones but there's chunkier ones available too.

iloveholidays · 09/09/2014 14:33

Not a huge bargain but I've just ordered this Little Tikes slide from Kiddicare.

here with 26% off down to £55.

That's a joint present done for my 3 DDs, unless I decide to give to DD3 for her 2nd birthday in November.

zipzap · 09/09/2014 14:53

I've just been procrastinating looking at christmas ribbons on ebay.com and they've got loads very cheaply if you want nice fabric ribbons - either embroidered or printed.

20 yards of red ribbon with christmas trees and snow - $3.19

The uk site also has some nice stuff - 100yards for £9

I did brown paper, Scandi looking ribbon from Lidl and candy canes (also Lidl) last year - they looked lovely. Got plain tags and a 'HoHoHo' stamp with red ink to decorate.

Love the jingle bells though; that might be this year!

HopeAndStories · 09/09/2014 15:30

Thanks BuddyKringleberry, just ordered the bells :)

BuddyKringleberry · 09/09/2014 15:36

You're welcome! Hope they're good : )

runningincircles · 09/09/2014 16:30

Thanks Ipswich and Mrs Bacon DELIVERY worked, I didn't get to try AFDEL10. Hate paying postage, very grateful to you both.

Notso · 09/09/2014 16:37

I tied gingerbread man and star cookie cutters to ribbon on my brown paper parcels last year which looked good.

ipswichwitch · 09/09/2014 16:59

Bells ordered - couldn't decide between silver and the assorted so got both! Well for 99p each I can't go wrong :)
Just need some scandi style ribbon now.
Glad you made use of it running. After the last (giant) parcel arrived, DH banned me from The Book People until payday Grin
