New thread already. Uselessly not updated from last thread

I love the IKEA sweet jar idea. Going to use that, thanks.

Any idea for best place online to get a load of photos printed and delivered? X

That's a great idea, AtlanticDrift, but unfortunately my printer is broken :( Maybe I should buy a new one

Gap has a 30% off deal until the 8th if you sign up to their VIP e-mails, plus some extra discounts if you buy multiple items in store.

Methen if you go to Money Saving Expert they have a calculator. Put in how many prints you want and what size. They tale into account the free prints offered and postage.

But I think if you wanted 100+ you're probably better off signing up with 2 companies and using their 50 free prints offers.

Ohhh lovely, thank you.

I'm also after this but have no idea what to search for... Has anyone seen those dogs that a little one can 'walk' on a lead? Think the lead is just a firm pole so it gives the affect of walking the dog. Would this be suitable for a nearly two year old (or even nearer 3 as dc2 is a winter baby so could use it in the summer). X

My Anna dress arrived yesterday from Aliexpress. Just over £6 and only took 8 days to get here. Dress looks lovely. Quality is similar to the Sainsburys one's DD already has. Level of details is excellant. it is the blue dress with pink cape so matches DDs Anna doll

Methenyouplus4 i know what you mean i have seen lots of these in B&M /Home Bargain type stores.

Methen you definately get them in b&m, they are £2.99 or £3.99 I think and have a little button up at the handle you press and it makes a barking sound. They have pink dogs or brown and white ones. Dd has just turned 2 and got one a few months ago and has fun with it

Thank-you Questions, I'll order some for the dolls house tomorrow

Methy, we got one of those dogs on a stick lead in Home Bargains for £2.99 a year or two ago. might be worth a look

Aaaargh I have been following the threads, missed it for a week or so, and missed out on the tassimos!! . However, DH has berated me for refusing his offers of buying me one for the last few years, and only wanting one now "everyone on mumsnet has one" and has said he will buy me one from argos as we have a card. So, anyone got any recommendations of coffee machines? I want one as cheap as possible to take the sting out of missing the official mumsnet one.

Also, thanks to all those recommending aliexpress. I have ordered a toddler ana doll, baby sven and an olaf, am very excited and may end up keeping sven for myself! Have also found loads of stocking fillers etc.

Reastie you are such a star for organising these threads, you saved me loads of money last year and this, and got me some lovely gifts.

Cheers, I'll check out my local b&m/ home bargains and hope they have them again this year. Thank you again. X

My DP's Tassimo arrive yesterday! I love it! Went out and bought the Carte Noire Latte Macchiato pods and they're delicious... once you work out how to use one. I bought them from Tesco but there was zero English instructions on the back. I didn't know the milk pod had to go in first until Youtube told me.

The milk takes a bit of getting used to. Not quite as good as fresh milk but fine once a bit of sugar/sweetener is added. I've ordered a massive pack of Costa Americano and we'll use our own milk for that I think.

Can someone recommend/link the best Ana and Elsa toddler dolls to buy off Aliexpress please? There seem to be endless options!

HollyBen can you link to the Anna dress you ordered please?

Have got sucked in to Aliexpress and am overwhelmed by the Frozen dress choice! Will sit down tonight and sort through them.

Cowboy dress up under£7 codes around as well

My coke and popcorn boxes came this morning. The popcorn boxes are much smaller than I'd anticipated though there was probably measurements on Ebay which I didn't read. They're nice though.

With the Tassimo, do you have to use the milk pods or can you just use normal milk? If it needs them, I'll add them onto my online food shop.

Hope - it would need them if you're having a milky drink like a latte, but if you just wanted Americanos or Espressos then you're ok.

My tassimo s arrived!

Ok, thanks Knackered

Thanks for all the ideas everyone! They're going to look fab.

I actually spotted the same sundae cups in pink or green/blue reduced to 50p in store at waitrose now (not online) if anyone wants some.

Baby Sven ordered - thanks Norks!

B&M have these for £2.99 and a girly one too.

They also have Halloween masks for 99p - got dd a bat one to be batgirl.
