So lets try and fill this one instead :D

Thank you Nicole - I was looking for one of these last year for my mum and I missed them in the sale. That's her Xmas pressie sorted!

MissRainbowBrite · 04/08/2015 07:30

That's my Christmas shopping started thanks to the Amazon code, Elsa's Lego Castle for £20 and FIFA 16 on pre order for £35.
Really pleased with the Lego as the lowest that's ever been is £30.

Lego Frozen Elsa Ice Castle

If you go to other sellers, its £25 by Amazon. Says you have to wait for stock to come in but for that price i think its worth it!!

Love this thread!

The only little one in my family will be 2.10 this Xmas. Loves Frozen at the moment but not sure if she will go off it by then? Little ones mum has previously requested books so would like something slightly educational that she would enjoy? Any ideas

Thanks Chips!

MissRainbowBrite · 04/08/2015 13:00

Definitely worth it. I've had an email from Amazon to say expected delivery date will be 17th August.
An absolute bargain and the other Disney Princess Lego on Amazon seems to be discounted quite a bit too.

Sad to miss amazon £10 and Rio Sad

yesterday i picked up MAke your OWn Monopoly for under £2 reduced from £22 in Sainsburys.

Hi all, Just place marking. Determined not to be just a lurker this year.

Oops meant to say the Amazon items above are add on items for free delivery over £20.

FireflyGirl · 05/08/2015 10:54

Star Wars snuggies £1.75 at Asda. Delivery only, which is £2.95, so £4.70, but you only pay delivery once so if you buy a few they'll be cheaper.

FireflyGirl · 05/08/2015 11:06

FireflyGirl · 05/08/2015 11:08

Also, a big sale at Smyths. OLAF cuddle towel thing £5 here

Hi Everyone, New to the thread so i am excited at all the great offers so far. Plus i love Christmas.

I was wondering if anyone had seen a car playmate for a little boys room?

Also i have a 10 year old DD who never asks for anything i always have to get surprise for. I really have no idea tis year what to get her. She into fashion but she's not a girly girl, likes DR Who and not keen on technology but loves reading. Any tips id be very grateful.

Also thanks for the Rio movie DS x2 & DD currently being happily entertained.

candykane25 · 05/08/2015 11:46

Thanks 1122, got some dress updisney accessories for DD and a spare for emergencybgift drawer.
Also got this post office set - already bought the jolly christmas postman book from book people so this will tie in nicely. Currently 12.88 reduced from 34.99

carrietwick · 05/08/2015 17:33

Thank you candycane I have used your ideas for my daughter I think she'll love that post office set, I'm delighted to find something other than pink princess toys!

FireflyGirl · 05/08/2015 20:26

Speaking of pink princess dolls...half price Disney sparkle princess dolls at ToysRUs Xmas Grin

peppapissinpig · 05/08/2015 20:38

Has anyone seen any bargains for older children? DS is 10 & DD 9.

Sadly beyond lego and Disney Hmm. DS loves football and desperate for an Xbox fat chance. DS is a diva and loves singing/dancing etc

Any pointers gratefully received

durhamgirl · 05/08/2015 22:43

yogababymum we have this car mat from Amazon and it's fab, excellent reviews and a great price :)

Was just thinking about the Christmas thread this morn & saw it on active. Although been reading Marie Kondo threads & don't want to buy so much stuff this year for people as I don't want much 'stuff'. Although we bought a wobabo ball for dd's bday & just under £6. It's just the size of a large bouncy ball but really great & she loves it, (dh & I also play with it quite a bit!) so it's my current red & go to pressie for all ages.

CakeIsABreakfastFood · 06/08/2015 07:33

yogababymum we have this one from IKEA and it's great.
