No exciting thread title this time I’m afraid...

This is it, this is the thread that should take us into December Xmas Grin

Zulily have some lovely looking plush dinosaurs here

and good discounts on Win Green playhouses and tents here I really struggled to get a big one last year for less than £200

Sleepstarved · 29/11/2014 19:43

found some lovely kids bedding on Achica including Christmas designs.

Am pondering whether to cancel the Debenhams order I did last night with the code upthread and order these - £11 for a single set is cheaper than Debenhams. Not 100% cotton but then neither were the ones I ordered from Debenhams

Would you recommend a nerf rebelle blaster for a 6 (almost 7) year old girl? The ones I've looked at say age 8+?

margaritasbythesea · 29/11/2014 20:01

Great off on the slow cooker. I wish I wanted one!

I have found code XMAS2525 for £5 off £25 spend, but I haven't tried it yet.

iloveholidays · 29/11/2014 20:02

can anyone tell me what the quality of the photo panels from snap fish are like please?

I'm in the process of uploading photos

supermariossister · 29/11/2014 20:08

norks I got niece the rebelle crossbow last year she was six. apparently she loved it, woke her dad up shooting him in the whatsits though so he probably didn't love it as much

trixymalixy · 29/11/2014 20:10

Phew, my iPad mini is waiting for me at John Lewis. Sad Angry for those of you that have had their orders cancelled.

MindReader · 29/11/2014 20:16

ilove I have a friend just ordered snapfish calendars and was very very pleased...

Are all the Black Friday offers over now???

How much was the mini IPad at JL???

(or anywhere else?)

NorksEnormous · 29/11/2014 20:23

Thanks supermario, it's for my niece I'm thinking of, I'm sure her parents will really love me for it Wink

wyldstile · 29/11/2014 20:33

It almost makes me vomit to type it, but I'm considering a Shopkins-based twitch.... I stood in 2 shops this week holding a pack but could not bring myself to pay actual money for them. Unfortunately I'm sure DD will love them, and I've been expecting her to mention them, but she's waited until I'm done to start saying how much she likes them. They are the epitome of plastic tat.... Anyone seen anywhere giving them away?

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 29/11/2014 20:41

Place marking but mainly done!

marne2 · 29/11/2014 20:48

Wyld, dd2 asked for Shopkins months ago, I bought the supermarket play set ages ago on Amazon when the price dropped, she already has some of the figures, I wanted to get her some more but argos had sold out, I may have to get her one pack. Dd loves the ones she has.

neddle · 29/11/2014 20:52

I really wanted a slow cooker, so I looked at Groundlevel linked above.
Website looks a bit strange though - typos etc.
Googled them and found this review site Sad

HiawathaDidntBotherTooMuch · 29/11/2014 20:52

Sleep, I have that christmas bedding for DS2. I paid about £12 for a single duvet cover and pillowcase set on amazon. So it's not an amazing deal on achica. I got the snowman one on the red background. It's nice, but slightly scratchy. I've washed it with loads of fabric softener and that has helped. It's not as soft as the set I previously got from next though for DS1.

bluesky · 29/11/2014 20:54

Always been happy with snapfish, used them for photos, calendars, cards, mugs, posters and canvases over the years!

trixymalixy · 29/11/2014 21:02

Mind the iPad mini was £149 at JL and Tesco.

Callofthewild · 29/11/2014 21:06

Trixy & Meer I still don't know if I have an ipad. I received an email confirming my order from JL this morning at 8am and that it was being despatched and would be available to collect from 2pm today BUT that I would get a further email once it was actually in store. I've not heard anything more today so am still none the wiser Confused.

MindReader · 29/11/2014 21:19

trixy - Jings!!! that's good value!!!

Are they all gone / back to normal price now? Sad

Had two kids off sick y'day so Black Friday didn't happen for me Sad

tipsyloolah · 29/11/2014 21:19

I didn't know I needed an ipad mini until today Sad - I take it all the decent offers have ended?

I've also just discovered on the list is a 2DS - has to be blue apparently - and Pokemon game. Any decent bundle offers around for those?

For those asking for Matalan codes - if you don't mind being a bit cheeky, they usually give you 20% off at the till if you ask (nicely!) if there are any Friends & Family codes going round.

PamelaEwing · 29/11/2014 21:30

Ive a few Matalan voucher codes left for £10 off a £30 online spend. Valid 10th - 23rd Dec. PM me if you would like one. Xmas Smile

Keepcalmanddrinkwine · 29/11/2014 21:36

Cookiefiend might need a Matalan code, hers expired before she could use it.

I think I mentioned it before, but WINTER1 gives £10 off a £50 New Look spend.

Sleepstarved · 29/11/2014 21:39

Oh crap Hiawatha, I've ordered 3 sets from Achica.
I liked the designs more than any kids sets I've seen lately.
And DH is fanatical about bedding being soft, crap, crap, crap

iloveholidays · 29/11/2014 21:39

Thanks for the feedback re snapfish. I have ordered a photo panel and am going to do a photobook tomorrow.

Thank you.

yellowsun · 29/11/2014 21:42

tipsy - Tesco have one with a Super Mario game for £89 with a blue and black 2ds. That's cheaper than the 2ds on it's own.

Or, you can get the pokemon sapphire game and a completely blue 2ds for about £122 in a few places.

HangingInAGruffaloStance · 29/11/2014 21:47

Got £10 off a £50 spend on Amazon with code
