Beautiful Wooden Dolls House... MEGA CHEAP!!!!!

[cooki3monst3r]

Hi All. Now mine has safely been dispatched I can tell you all about this amazing find!

I was just about to pay £93 (discount price) for the GLTC wooden dolls house, when I thought I'd better have a google around and check there's not something cheaper.

Then I found that Asda have a beautiful looking wooden dolls house for only £35!!! I personally think it looks better than the GLTC one.

I haven't got mine yet, but it has 45 reviews all 4 and 5 * so I'm sure it'll be as good as any other. (except one crazy person who gave it a 2 star rating because it's didn't come with "stuff" )

I am VERY excited!!! (need a 'jumping up and down' emoticon!)

Fill ya boots MNers!

It looks really lovely, what a bargain!

I saw it in store yesterday and it's lovely. They also have a wooden kitchen which is equally as lovely and a bargain. My dd is too small for them yet, I'm gutted

That looks lovely! DD has a dolls house given to her by her grandparents, but of she didn't I'd get that one.

FelixFelix have you got somewhere to hide it for a year or two? The loft...?

It must be a loss-leader to get people buying there for christmas... surely??

I bought mine last year from asda, it was half price down from 70.
Last years was more simple, this years looks even better value.

Oh and Felix last year my DD was four months old at Christmas! I saw it as an investment for the future. It looks lovely in her bedroom and she does play with it, opening the doors and windows. She started playing with it when she was about 9mths.

i agree it looks wonderful and briliant prce...

I saw it in store yesterday and it is lovely. There is also a furniture pack available too.

She will be 1 on 22nd Dec. I may buy one for next year if I can work out where to store it!

I saw this and loved it too op! I bought my dd the GLTC one for her fourth birthday about 1.5 years ago , was gutted to see this gorgeous one recently for less than half the price!

Wish Asda did the dolls house furniture too!

Hope your dd enjoys it op

They do blahblah

Although only one set (£15) not all the rooms that GLTC do.

I hope she does too. I'm sure she will. She'll be thrilled!

I feel guilty though because her little brother has a wooden farm and I'm wondering why I'm enforcing gender stereotypes... .

But I can't buy him a house and her a farm just to make a point - she'd be mortified to see her little brother open a beautiful pink house with butterflies and flowers! Equally, nothing would stop my little DS getting in the way of him and a tractor - especially not his sister!!

Grandparents got that for dd last year. She loved it!!

It does look lovely.

We have the toysrus one at £50, which includes all the stuff. www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/Toys/Dolls-and-Accessories/Dolls-Houses-and-Accessories/Doll-House-with-50-Pieces(0025587)

It is plain but DD loves purple, so I had a very satisfying evening painting it purple and white with leftover normal wall emulsion.

Erin, I've just bought that one for my DD, mainly because it comes with furniture but also because the Asda one is just too pink for me! Do you think I need to paint the toysrus one, or would it look ok plain?

Cooki3 - could you pls do me huge favour and when it arrives tell me roughly how much the box weighs.

I am thinking of Shop & Shipping it for my daughter as we are not in the UK. Even with the delivery charges I will pay, it will still be lots cheaper than buying an equivalent one out here. Many thanks.

sandy you mean weigh the whole package? Yes, of course. Should be arriving today - will weigh it when LOs in bed.

Yes please! It doesn't say on the specifications and I have to pay per half kilo. Hope it's lovely!

Cooki3 it might say the weight either on the box or the shipping label with your address etc. on. Worth checking before you weigh it yourself.

Good thinking felix

appin no, lots of her friends have them unpainted. It perhaps lacks the 'wow' factor a bit without, but having all natural wood is a good blank canvas for their imaginative play when they are little.

We have added to DD's over the years. They can decorate it themselves with paint, wrapping paper wallpaper etc, scraps of carpet etc if they want to when they are older.

Worth mentioning I think it's on a slightly smaller scale than the '£100+ just for the empty house' ones. But still a bargain IMO. I don't know about the scaling of the asda one - it looks a bit bigger to me which is better.

sandy it says 10.8kgs

ie bloody heavy!

About the same as 10 bottles of wine - if that helps.

Yikes. That's heavy isn't it. Would cost me 3x the house to get it sent over. Might just have to suck it up and buy the ELC one here, which is overpriced compared to UK, but at least no shipping. Thanks though.
