Reastie I'm pondering the same now, I've bought the frozen figures, finger lights were from China weren't they?, frozen watch, I've also bought the plush dolls from China. I'm kind of a bit torn really, can't live our lives constantly worrying about every little thing we buy but at the same time need to be sensible I guess. I'm now wondering whether I should keep the frozen figures!!! they just came in a plastic bag so who knows.

assume no issues with plush? I'm wondering whether to order more svens?

its made me think though.

Ive also held off buying from Aliexpress for safety, quality and sizing issues. I tend to buy through Ebay from China as I feel a bit safer with Ebays straightforward money back guarantee policy, but then I'm a terrible worrywart

Ive also binned the cheap loom bands we bought over the last few months for peace of mind if nothing else. Anyway, the loom band craze seems to have petered out in our household!

yep it's definitely the rollercopter, in Argos three for two but I don't need anything else!

Anyone who is looking for an elf on the shelf. On eBay if you type in the words 'elf shelf' into the search that sometimes brings up cheaper versions of the official elf. Last week there were lots and lots of bids on official elves who had all been put on as 'elf on the shelf'. There were hardly any bids on another elf where the seller had put him on as 'elf for the shelf' so people searching for 'elf on the shelf' weren't bringing it up. Hope that makes sense!

Right all, I'm just out for the morning and am banking on the fact you won't use more than 70 messages which are left . Will do a new thread upon my return, have it all ready to go

Grrrr, very code don't work for me either! Whhhhhyyyyyy

I know alma!

Very sad!

Good tip guitar thanks.

Nearly at the end of the thread already

That seems like a challenge Reastie! Has anyone ordered TMNT turtles off ali? Just wondering on quality.

I would like matching unisex pjs

In ages 2, 6 and 7

Any ideas?

Has anyone seen bargainous ski/snow suits for 5 and 8 year old boys?

Have you looked at tkmaxx tk01?

www.tkmaxx.com/search?q=snowsuit&categories=shop&searchsubmit=&searchsubmit=Go&perpage=12&atrattrvalue1=8%20YRS for an 8yo

After a cute Christmas jumper for a 2 year old girl?

Very : try 4R4VF or 4J4JW.
The first one is £30 off a £60 spend, the second one is £25 off a £50 spend.
They will not stack.

3pigs have you looked on mothercare

Mothercare don't go big enough for my eldest

White Stuff do a good age range as do Sainsbos and some Tesco stuff IIRC. I got matching for DS1 and 2 who were age 2-3 and 10-11. John Lewis may sell some too.

None of the very codes work for me

3pigs what about this shop for matching PJ's? Loads of sizes and free delivery over £25

That house looks really good, but DD is only 4 and as much into playing with sets someone has built for her as building them at the moment. Would it be too mean to get a box of 600+ bricks and tip them into DH's stocking. A bit like the foam bits so he'd have to pick through it to find his other presents?

Hmm it's all character though isn't it

I searched christmas and nothing came up

I do want something festive

I think Lego bricks tipped into a stocking would be awesome.

If your DD is only 4 the Lego junior sets have the small bricks but simpler designs - cheaper end
