Does anyone know when toysrus do their sale?
Decided ds has to have the train table. It's £125 at the moment but some of the reviews say they bought it half price...

Joules have an ebay outlet shop. I think there is a link at the beginning of the thread....you may be able to get some underwear there....

The smyths code is no longer working. If anyone knows of a new one I would be very grateful :-)

Bhs online sale great if you have mums or grans to buy for.

Just bought pjs and nighties and a couple of tops for the grans.
30% off and cash Back!

Thanks for the eBay ribbon tip, whoever posted it!
2000m on its way to me!

It's beginning to feel a bit like Christmas!

Rom com according to hot deals there is a sale on at toys r us today. Haven't checked though

Just got back from tyger. It was busy. Got some kids umbrellas only £3 each- they've got penguins, foxes and polar bears.

Flaviar spirits, tasting packs are lovely and free delivery £10 off if you use this link (this link gets me credits)
Just in case anyone missed it last time!

Has anyone bought/got the wooden kitchen from asda? It's £40. Would you recommend it?

Freixenet is reduced to £6.99 a bottle at Tesco (It's usually £9.00 a bottle there) and there's 25% if you buy four bottles of wine.

So 4 bottles of Freixenet just cost me £20.97 -that's just over £5 a bottle. Now to not pull the same stunt as I did with the Baileys, after all it's not a Christmas bargain if you drink it by the end of November is it?

ilove 3yo DS got he asda wooden kitchen for his birthday. He loves it and plays with it every day. It's pretty sturdy too - has withstood his 11mo brother hanging off it! I would recommend.

wibbly I missed your post about minecraft tshirts so not sure who/what age you're looking for, but try M&S online. I got 10yo nephew one via click and collect and it looks really good - it's a navy one with creeper anatomy picture on.

Thanks Ipswich. I've bought DD2 the Anna doll with the sleigh and I'm now wondering whether I should have done. they're getting the wooden shop for Christmas and I'm keen to get rid of our plastic kitchen which is falling apart.... ummm...

Loads more toys than normal at my local Home Bargains today. A few a Frozen bits but no dolls - advent calendars and a room decorating kit were the things they had loads of. Didn't notice any Furbys but I didn't scour the aisles

Thanks HighFive.

My local poundland had big toblerones and packets of thorntons toffee and boxes of malteasers. I'm going to head back tomorrow to stock up. RL shopping is such a pain, carrying everything! They also had lots of medium round tins of cookies, Santa, Cars, Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Disney Princess, and Tinkerbell. I expect the cookies are stingy but the tins are nice, would make a nice stocking filler I think.

Marking place - thx Reastie

Hi does anyone have any suggestions around the £5 mark for a 9 year old boy and a 13 year old boy. Thanks

Oh and for those doing Hampers, the Works had wicker baskets with cellophane and filled with straw-like stuff for £6.

Marking my place x

Iggy The Thorntons hampers come in really sturdy double strength outer boxes (which then are fantastic for storing stuff, like Christmas baubles, any excuse for a chocolate hamper....) I sent one a few years ago to someone a long way away (MN appeal gift as it happens) and it was fine. So, yes, it's not a hamper as such, just a lovely ginormous box.

Thanks clean and pamela for the PJ suggestions. The reindeer ones are lush so I will have to go she look in store!! and to reastie too

Go and look even!

Callo I have had this problem for many years.

Best cheap presents have included books ( wreck this journal or Ray Mears went down particularly well) chocolate pizza, usb stick wristbands and things like those metal balls that knock each other in order or pin pictures that you stick your face/ hand in. Can't say how much they are as there are so many sales and offers about.
Have brought the Amazon 66p touch screen gloves which were well received but never used and there were nice sticky notes in 3d fruit shapes that everyone liked.

Poundland (wood green) had a Crapton of Frozen bits today

Money tins, wash mits, magic flannels, hair stuff, bath stuff, nail polish, jewellery, colouring bits, plates, cups, cutlery, lip balms, stick on earrings, hairbrushes, sweets...and more I just can't remember!

I spent £45 in there today

Fourty-five bloody pounds!

Has anyone smelt the perfume they're doing for £8....Beckham for women or something...is it worth £8?

Does anyone have an elc code? Friends little boy is desperate for the fire and police station but its £100!

Those asking about gift cards at Tescos, I've just checked again on HDUK and it appears tescos have taken iTunes and new looks one off and people are having problems getting discount

Thanks very much for the matalan code drinkwine just purchased two christmas tops which my boys will be happy with as i normally say no due to the limited wear, a pair of slippers, a pair of pyjamas and a pyjama and dressing gown set for £24
