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 :)

Thanks for the kids guitar link livvy DS will love that Smile I was tempted by the piano too but managed not to buy it!

Is the pirate ship suitable for a nearly 3 year old do you think? Is it made of lots of teeny parts till click in?

I'd love to buy him a toy pirate ship but can't find a suitable one that will sustain bashing.

storybrooke · 08/09/2015 07:55

glo try elc wooden pirate ship, was reduced to 20 last October/November so should be again (plus birthday code) and is solid and perfect for a little bashing. I put it away for this year, lo will be 3.5 but we have a playmobil pirate ship I had to put away as all the bits and sails come off so imo it's more hassle than it's worth suited to older ones Grin

I am, however, teaming it with the playmobil pirate sets!

I previously linked some stickers from an ebay seller, I just found the same stickers on aliexpress for cheaper, I'm not sure if they are the cheapest, but a better deal then the previously linked ones.

Here is the link.

Can anybody recommend a good art set for a 10 year old? Thanks

catzpyjamas · 08/09/2015 11:36

The Works has some really nice art sets. TKMaxx usually have decent art supplies in store too. I used to always buy my DN more professional sets rather than children's ones and she loved them.

Zeusette · 08/09/2015 12:37

That's what I'm after catzpyjamas a more professional one is there any particular brand you'd recommend. Thanks

caker · 08/09/2015 12:53

Thanks for link to sandpit on Amazon! DD will love it.

GloGirl · 08/09/2015 12:53

Storybooke it's beautiful thank you! That ship is going on my list Grin

FireflyGirl · 08/09/2015 13:47

I found some good reductions in our big Tesco.

20 pots of unbranded smelly play do for £5. Big long pack, looks impressive.

They also had super soakers reduced from £20 to £5. Not sure how popular they would be Grin

Some Thomas tank engine engines in Amazon lightening deals.
Not sure how cheap they will be but might be worth a look.

Marking my place. Doing it all on my own this year so I will be watching with interest.

cowssheephens · 08/09/2015 21:27

Has anyone seen Lego dimensions PS4 at a good price?

ThomasRichard · 08/09/2015 21:33

I bought DD a sort of sensory magic wand for her stocking last year and it's been a hit (sometimes literally...) as well as a bargain. DS is getting one this year too. It's really good quality.

Spiral Glitter Wand ??3.99 with free shipping.

Mipe · 08/09/2015 21:55

Nocutsnobutts thank you for your lovely links, have just ordered lots of stocking fillers from The Works and some Adventure Time leggings Smile.

ThatsNotMyHouseItIsTooClean · 08/09/2015 22:08

DD had matey bubble bath in her stocking when she was 1 & 2. Just after she turned 3, I was in ASDA with her, saw some on offer so picked it up & put it in the trolley & she said "is that for my stocking?". Frantic explaining & backtracking by me!

catzpyjamas · 08/09/2015 22:30

Zeusette, sorry I missed your post earlier. Any of the Reeves sets are usually good or I really like the Daler-Rowney sets in TKMaxx

PridePrejudice · 08/09/2015 22:44

Nocuts what is the sizing like on the Elsa dress? Looking at getting one for a 4th birthday present. I assume that's a good price?
