Would dh like two boxes of hotel chocolat...

I went to Ikea today I saw some little paper snowman bags on display and sticker tags. I thought they would be lovely little extras with chocolates in I had grand ideas for my chalk pens and they had sold out ; ( (I also had no idea it was a goat!!)

Coleslaw I ordered one bauble, I think a teacher would be thrilled with that as a gift (not why I ordered). Better a smaller bottle of quality than something big but tacky. Something they are unlikely to get from anyone else

scrappydappydoo · 16/10/2015 22:52

Has anyone else seen this this kids kindle bundle Thought it looked good for dd1 for her birthday in march but not sure if I should get it now or wait a bit. I can't figure out if it's a special kindle or just a bundle offer iyswim

ColeslawSandwich · 16/10/2015 22:53

Maybe you're right Smurf I only had a quick look at them. The packaging is great too.

Was some looking for Coca-Cola items? Lip balms at Boots.

butterflymum · 16/10/2015 23:00

If someone can't stretch to the Boots price for the lip balms mentioned above, B & M have a smaller set (4 rather than 6), for £2.99

Long time lurker here...
If anyone has seen any deals for the big mlp light up doll 'princess cadance', I'd be grateful!
Also, has anyone found any good deals on any of the leap reader stuff?

ArriettyMatilda · 16/10/2015 23:58

Justyou I Googled book people voucher codes and tried a load of codes. I used TAKE5 to get £5 off £30 spend and AFVBKIDS to get 10% of childrens books. Also used XMASGIFT to pick a free diary as I spent over £40. Ended up with about £11 off some already pretty decent prices.

I think AF20DEL was working for free delivery over £20 but I didn't need it. AFCONKER6 will you 6% off some books but I'm not clear on which and it won't work with the 10% off children's books.

trixymalixy · 17/10/2015 00:00

Thanks for the Ciate gift set link. That's my cousins sorted!!

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 17/10/2015 00:16

here my dd's love the my little pony busy book. One dd's favourite is twilight sparkle and the others pinkie pie. I'm quite fond of rainbow dash :)

The build a bears are lovely and u dont really need the clothes for them.

or if its for christmas theres the plush ones on ebay for £1.79 each. could get the full set of 6! supposedly pretty good quality, havent ordered yet as waiting for my things im selling to finish :)

toys r us have buy one get one half price on the my little pony range. they have the new i think zecora (looks like a zebra) for £9.99 in flash sale and theres a few others for that price so could get 2 equestria girls for £15.

if u wanted something other than toys h&m have a good range of my little pony clothing. my dd has the tights with a pony on each leg which she loves. well worth the ridiculous £7 i paid as she's worn them loads and have washed really well!

Those are for dilysmoon. I remember babymoon!

ArriettyMatilda · 17/10/2015 00:40

PinkSquash Wowcher have had 300 prints for £3 a couple of time recently. You do pay £1.99 extra for delivery, but still seems a good deal.

Nohopeformethen · 17/10/2015 01:12

Smyths and Argos both have decently priced (£79.99) 2ds console+game deals at the moment, as does the actual Nintendo website - they give a t-shirt/hat too. I've been watching the price on Amazon and game and it was between 90 and 100 a few days ago .

afreshstartplease · 17/10/2015 07:32

Anyone seen a bargain on the minion Mega block castle?

Is the Amazon price good?

Reastie · 17/10/2015 07:43

Thanks for hotel chocolat £6.95 box, just ordered one for dh and the free salted caramel pack will do for another present too.

Free delivery at hotel chocolat with code HCTCNEW15

That is a good price for the Playmobil whale pool. I got it last Christmas for 16.50.
Bakeoff are you looking for books for the Leapfrog Tag pen? I have been monitoring these on Amazon and have bought any that were reduced by 50%. The World Map and Solar System are very reasonably priced at the moment (less than 8 pounds instead of 19.99). I've also bought a Cinderella book (8.66). Haven't seen any better prices elsewhere so keep an eye on Amazon. I've put some on camelcamelcamel to track them at lowest price.

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 17/10/2015 07:46

Hotel Chocolat!! Think the dates on them would reach Christmas? Actually thinking about them for gifts Shock

ja9r · 17/10/2015 08:03

don't know if this has been mentioned already but i went to buy a vtech smartwatch plus and found it half price on amazon for £20 here

margaritasbythesea · 17/10/2015 08:06

Leapfrog Tag stuff on amazon lightning deals now.

BeaBoo · 17/10/2015 08:08

Thanks for the Hotel Chocolat link. That's a fab price and has sorted half of my DM's present. Does anyone know if you can cancel the subscription online or do you have to call them?

MarmaladeTeepee · 17/10/2015 08:47

I popped into Tescos last night and they'd reduced loads of their little 'Go Create' craft kits to just 35p-50p. Perfect for stocking fillers or for grouping together to make a bigger present.
