Christmas bargain present ideas thread 2: the one with a baby chips?

[Reastie]

Hello all,

Hopefully the second message on the thread will contain a list of potentially useful links. I haven't checked through all of last years useful links so if I've missed any good ones please let me know and I'll amend.

I'll do my best to keep it updated with each new thread.

DD was watching some kind of Disney Christmas cartoon this morning so I'm feeling rather festive today :)

Thank you everyone for all the great tips; Smiggle advent calendar just arrived and looks very impressive.

Does any one have any tips for personalised children's books (ie where you choose the name etc)? And would you be happy to receive one as a present for your kids? (Struggling to think of present ideas for a toy-rich family with young boys...)

Bit of an odd one for a present, but it might be just what someone is looking for .

You can buy a pack of coloured chalk pens for a £1 as long as you leave a review on Amazon for them afterwards. I've done this before and have just ordered another set this week with their latest promotion.
You have to generate a code to be able to do it, but the instructions are here.
