Good Housekeeping subscription offer: 6 issues for £9.99 with free pyrex bakeware set.

I'm keeping the mag as a treat for me, along with a couple of the tins and giving one of the cake tins with a bargain Delia's Cakes book I brought via this thread last year to my Auntie. Last year Amazon had loads of popular cookbooks for £5 and sometimes less, so this might be a gift option for a foodie gift.

Just caught up with the thread properly. Sorry to hear that RJ, I hope you are all being kind to yourselves.

Our local 99p store had packs of 2 bubble swords/wands in today. My DD's love them all year round so perfect for stockings.

Frozen watches here although gone up to £1.62 now!!!!

Has anyone seen any purple rabbit toys that could pass as mim mim from cbeebies?

As far as I can see there is no Kate and mim mim merchandise as yet, and DS is mim mim mad!

That Good Housekeeping set is a great buy, I have some Pyrex bakeware and it's brill. Might have to splurge...

Pop...try etsy.com

Tesco will have 25% off all clothing from tomorrow until Sunday if anyone is interested. I'm not sure whether it is in store only or online as well.

Pop there's a few on eBay here and here although they aren't bargainous!

I think I should dust off my old sewing machine and make a few of these 'lookalike' toys- seem to make a fortune

The Good Housekeeping offer looks fab but looking at the small print is says first issue is for 31st October - does would that mean if you are giving it as a Christmas present you'd miss out on the first 2 issues?

Thanks Martyr I hope its online too as I only went to our local store today and DH wont drive the half hour back again tomorrow. Tesco had some lovely dressing up clothes for both boys and girls as well as a gorgeous Toy Story Onesie.

lala we have gadget the robot, got him for Ds 2 last Christmas, he was just 2. He loves it for fairly basic play, but he can recognize the letters from it. My 7 year old plays with it too, and can do the games etc properly.
Both of them absolutely love it. Every child that comes into the house is drawn to it. Highly recommended.

martyr the tesco sale is in store too apparently, at least in ROI.

Oops martyr I'm sorry, just read your post properly!

Frozen watch not same seller I used but seems to be many of them and are all prob one n the same

Isitsummeryet I'm not sure to be honest - all I know is that when I checked out it gave me the option to choose if it was a gift so it may allow you to state when you want the subscription to start? Might be worth checking as it's before the payment screen so you'd lose nothing in checking.

Lego, I remember your thread about the presents being thrown away. What happened in the end ?

Thanks Petal I'll have a look. It's hard isn't it? We're in the process of trying to declutter and get rid of all the unused toys. We have happyland, peppa pig stuff, pop up tents, puzzles, books, too many teddies, dolls house, wooden blocks, duplo.

The fun of having 3 children of the same sex :)

She does love animals and looking at books with animal pictures. Maybe I should look into that.

Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe I should just get more frozen stuff

An idea for difficult to buy or someone about to go travelling (or anyone that likes selfies really!)
Selfie Stick £3.99
Means you can get more background/views in your pic. There are loads of them to choose from on Amazon.

we are drowning in Frozen stuff too, iloveholidays!
how about a wooden farm (my dd3 loves ours) or Duplo zoo?

Also, how about outdoor toys and games?

which Frozen DVD was a fake - I ordered a £7 one from Ebay - another site was linked but it kept saying there was a problem with the paypal account so I went elsewhere - how do you know if its fake, wont they play?
