As someone else said on the other thread, its actually quite depressing trying to finish the one from December off.

So lets try and fill this one instead :D

I bought these mugs (link below) which arrived today-great quality and lovely designs.

I'd originally ordered them for the kid's advent bags (with a hot choc sachet and mini marshmallows), then ordered 2nd set for teacher pressies.

I like the mugs!

The beauty box arrived, I'm rather pleased. For £16.99 I got a Rimmel gel nail varnish, a Rimmel gel top coat, a model co. blusher, bellapierre mascara, an eyeshadow, lip gloss and brow kit - cant remember mistakes but known brands, and a little elie Saab perfume all for dd1s stocking, a hair mask and face mask for me, and a years glamour subscription. All in a nicely packed box with tissue so would have made a decent present delivered to someone else.

I'm sure a few places do beauty boxes, I'm dying to try another now.

Slightly gutted that I missed the advent calendars but then realised it's only May Smile

Amazon have the Playmobil Secret Play Farm Pony Box down to £9.99 today which is the best price it's been according to camelcamelcamel here. I was considering it for DD1 but now the minimum spend for free delivery is £20 it's not such a bargain.

Hello

I was on the thread last year but didn't use it much near the end as I had bought too much stuff!

Think I'll start looking now though haha!

One thing on my list is the large playmobil 123 house

Afresh get a link to what you want from amazon and put it into camelcamelcamel.com and it will tell you the lowest price its been and you can get it to email you when it hits that price again

Thank you rugby i have bought that for DD2 whose birthday it is next month. I needed to get a steriliser for my unborn as well but i really think im going to have to take out prime membership for this year now

Glad it was useful sideorder (even with my scrambled description - kids woke me up far too early). I'm stubbornly resisting Prime membership, hopefully it will make me think about what I really need rather than jumping to buy every bargain, but I'll probably just miss out on loads of stuff.

You can add wishlists to camelcamelcamel too and then when you add items to your wishlist they automatically go in to camelcamelcamel. You can change the alerts so that you get an e-mail when any of the items go below 20% off, 50% off etc or when they are at'good deal' price or 'best price'.
