[SideOrderofChips]

That was a surprise! Reasties annual links in the next post

AnOdd how about a rubber chicken

HardToKnow here is a link to the 4 activity books for £10. When you "proceed to checkout" the discount is shown just before you pay.

Those activity books on Amazon are an absolute bargain! There must be a mistake, surely? How can it make sense to include £9.99 books in a 4 for £10 deal?

I see some are available cheaper from other sellers individually.

Ovo with the wax stamp thingy, how do you get the wax? Do you just light a candle and let it drip? Sorry to sound so dense!

The works have really nice Enid blyton or Thomas the tank engine collection books. Hard back and down to £7 each. Bought in store so can't link but will try to attach pic.

Hi all, I was lurking on the prequel thread, but saw this on HUKD and thought it might help someone (if I can remember how to do links!)
Mike the Knight castle gatehouse set reduced from £22 to £7 at Tesco direct.

the amazon 4 book deal is a great

I'm so excited these threads are back and thanks to all who have contributed so far.

I've ordered the activity books from Amazon, the Imaginext lions den thing and the Playmobil fairy thing so far.

On another thread there was a great suggestion of creating a Pinterest board of all your purchases as a visual "aide-memoire" which I've done and seems to be working well so far!

I was in my local Tesco yesterday and they had the talking and singing palace pets down to £6.50. They're currently £12.99 on Amazon. I picked up one for DD and one for the "birthday drawer". I thought it would be a nice present combined with one of the Amazon activity books?

Thanks again all

Activity books purchased!!

I'm tempted to go and order more activity books as birthday presents.

A Pinterest board is a brilliant idea!

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts What about a really lovely dressing up box if they are into that kind of play? Lots of outfits and "props" to put on their own plays etc

Thanks for reposting the activity books link, fabulous bargain!

I've now bought my nieces November birthday and Christmas presents and a birthday present for Lego mad Dh so far so thank you everyone!

Another thanks for reposting the activity books link for Amazon. Just ordered some for DD Christmas and for present drawer. Must confess I felt slightly giddy with excitement when I saw the amount I'd saved when I checked out!!. Brilliant offer thank you

Thanks for the activity book link - have ordered them including 2 'where's Santa' ones for Xmas eve box and niece.

They aren't very thick looking at the dimensions 0.8-1.3cm thick but they should still be ok I think.

Peppa, I'm not sure if you're meant to use a specific wax (lots on Amazon for a couple of pounds, I need to buy some and see) but I just used a red candle and let it drip.

I used a long candle rather than a tea light or similar - easier to direct the drips. It's a bit messy until you get the hang of it but that's half the fun.

Coleslaw, thank you for that link! Just saved over £20!

Ooooh you're all back

Gutted the Playmobil Santa workshop advent calendar is sold out online

no it's not moosey

£20 so not super cheap but reasonable bearing in mind you'll pay £30 in Hamleys :)

I am the one with the Pinterest idea. I found last year even though I had a list it was hard to remember everything. Most things bought online have the ability to be pinned so it's really easy.
When I feel a twitch coming on I just have a look at what I've already got and it's helping so far!
