m.ebay.co.uk/itm/191275579492?nav=SEARCH this is where I ordered the minecraft things from but delivery date is now between the beginning to the 17th dec so might be worth seeing if any others are closer.

Found this gorgeous cardboard box like Christmas tree navy advent calendar with big draws in. I have 4 kids, so this is perfect for us.

Also, Clintons Cards is amazing as all of their gifts are buy one get one free.
I bought Yankee candle stuff, including their advent calendar and jelly bean company rudolf jelly beans tubes. £2.20 for two Bouncy clear plastic balls like a snow globe with snow and father Xmas, snowman or Xmas tree. £3 for two.

Oh help...... My kids have hudls. dd1 got one for Christmas last year. We've been really happy with them. They use them for all that you've mentioned in your post - mainly Minecraft, Minecraft, Minecraft and watching Minecraft videos . They also use it for watching the iplayer, Netflix, taking photos, making videos/little films.

Can anyone tell what the name of the children's craft subscription was - the thing where the child got sent craft stuff and ideas every month I can remember seeing it ages ago but now cant recall the name - if there are any discount codes too that would be much appreciated!

Umm toucan box?

Toucan box. I cancelled, nice idea, but ridiculously expensive for what you get. You can get similar craft sets anywhere for a lot less money. The novelty of getting them posted was nice for a while though.

Taa-dah! They've arrived. They were massively squished up in the package but they've expanded back almost the whole way to being cubes again. So not worth £15 each, they're too squshy to sit on as I'd hoped. Fabric is quite soft and they seem fairly well made though. Just pointless as they're just squishy cubes... Why did I buy these? No matter, the DC will love them and it'll bulk up their tiny present piles.

So I popped out to Asda for cheep chocolate oranges to eat now save for Christmas and I spotted the toddler bed sized Christmas bedding. 2 styles but I went for the advent calender one to match DDs set from Matalan. It was out of stock last time I looked online but may be back now.

Also bought the M&S biscuit tins today ( carousel ) on offer for £5 each, they are lovely, perfect gifts for the old people in my life that I struggle to buy for .

Elvish, I only popped in Asda, it ended up costing me £90 , I saw the bedding too, looked lovely, had to control myself and not buy any.

Toucan - knew it was a bloody bird name. Thank you guys agree does seem overpriced for DN who is just getting into craft agree about the novelty of the post thing - is there a craft magazine for children?

We used to get a weekend box from here. Haven't compared prices with toucan but it was quite good until DD started school - craft set, recipe and some ingredients, seeds to grow (or similar 'green' project) plus a little game to make or play. Still expensive for what's in it but good for ideas and DD enjoyed getting a parcel.

Weekend box looks good but to young for my niece who is 8 - great for dd who is 4 though! Thanks.

I'm sure this has been covered off in previous threads but I can't remember what the conclusion was..... Cello wrap?? Did someone link a large roll that can be used for making hampers?

I am going to get the DCs to decorate cardboard boxes to make up a hamper for nursery but would like cello wrap to cover it all.
