Hi! Another flaviar link for 10£ credits:
flaviar.com/i/ODAyNzEyZkwqUzUj
I ordered the gin tasting pack too and thanks to a previous link I got 10£ off and free delivery. Thanks!
I'll get 15£ credit if anyone uses the link.

QwertyBird · 17/10/2015 16:08

ha ha! they must have read my post! Feel unique emailed to say they have dispatched the samples separately Grin

mrslebon · 17/10/2015 16:09

One of my samples was empty :-(

ReluctantCamper you can connect any mp3 player or phone to it, via the earphone socket, it will then play the music and the lights will flash, my dd will love it! it comes with an extra set of musicians and a keyboard player so a lot of play for the money. Also Tescos have the pirate ship for £12.50

ReluctantCamper · 17/10/2015 16:26

Now you explain it NickDrake it sounds fab. I am picking it up from the store on Monday!

AdamantEve · 17/10/2015 16:40

I've just used your Flaviar link Bizzle and also got free delivery and the additional £5 off with the email questionnaire - very happy with that!

outputgap · 17/10/2015 16:44

Was someone looking for Masha and the Bear stuff? The Entertainer has figures for £5 and a playset for £15.

MooseyMoo · 17/10/2015 16:45

I finally found a lovely stocking filler for my DC (and DH). Its not a bargain but if you need to buy for kids who have everything ... Woodlands Trust Wildlife Swatch books: Minibeast, Poos & Clues, Butterflies, Wildflowers, Fungi and Leaf book. £4.99 each or £4 each if you buy 2 or more. The postage is steep £4.95 but I bought 4 for £21 and, if full price, it would have been £25 so it felt like I got free postage iyswim.

I've ordered today so can report back on them if anyone wants.

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 17/10/2015 16:58

Nick can you like to the stage. I can't see it on Argos for love nor money!

Pinkladymel · 17/10/2015 17:21

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 17/10/2015 17:53

Thanks Pinklady
Got a £5 voucher from Argos today so debating getting more playmobil!

I love the look of this for any budding engineers! www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1223095649/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_2?colid=3NM7H4ZNCVO18&coliid=I19G6VG5ZLZOIQ&vs=1

Does anyone know what the expiry dates are on hotel chocolat tasting boxes? I was going to order one for dp, but if it expires too soon il have to eat it it will go to waste..

Neeko · 17/10/2015 18:10

Not Christmas related but my DC just spent a happy hour or two this afternoon turning ordinary sandwich bags into Halloween bags by drawing spooky pictures on them with chalk pens. Smile

Nc19999992 · 17/10/2015 18:24

Can someone talk me through getting top cash back to honour the quid co price match for hotel chocolat? Do I have to do it on the desktop site?

Reastie · 17/10/2015 18:46

We have playmobil stage very much like the one linked earlier whoever was asking about £15 playmobil. Dd likes it but not as much as I thought she would and doesn't like it with the MP3 player in with music Confused . She plays with her playmobil swimming pool, camper van, and vets much more frequently. this is the vets she has but we got it for £10 when the price dropped via camel camel camel so might be worth setting up an alert on Amazon for a few playmobil bits to get a good price

ReluctantCamper · 17/10/2015 19:07

It was me asking about Playmobil Reastie . I got that vets set for a friends daughter last year (veteran thread lurker). The Rock stage is OOS everywhere, so the search goes on. Will set up some camelcamelcamel alerts. Thanks for the ideas.

happsymum · 17/10/2015 19:10

Ciate boots set all sold out. You lot are too quick! :)

itsonlysubterfuge · 17/10/2015 19:24

another Aliexpress update, this time I thought I would do it earlier so it was a smaller post.

Pearl Balloons these looks like regular balloons you would get from pound, except they are pearlised. 100 pcs for £2.55

Swelling ocean creatures I'm not sure how I feel about these. You need to use hot water, the hotter the better and they take quite a while to reach their full size. Because you need really hot water you have to keep replacing the water. They also break easily when stretched. However, I do think kids will think they are really cool. I have included a picture so you can see the size difference. 100 pcs for £6.02.

Stikeez They seem good, I think DD will like them. Little toys with suction cups on the bottom. 50 pcs for £3.67

mini SpongeBob figures these were great and much better quality than I was expecting. they are really small £4.59 for 12 pcs.

Rainbow dress another rainbow dress. It was lovely and soft, Made of the same material as the first rainbow dress and I believe the same fabric for the rainbow part. There is a tulle skirt. £4.90

LED finger lights these are the popular finger lights from a previous year. The thing I liked about these ones specifically is that you can pick the colour. 4 pcs for £.64.

Playmobil hunters, just wanted to say if you are after something specific and with exchange rate where it is, it may work out cheaper from Amazon.de at times (Germany). For example, the vet studio 5530 that Reastie mentioned is £14.64 including postage if you look at today's exchange rate on German site, whereas it is £17.99 on Amazon uk. Playmobil is generally cheaper in Germany. Not sure if you can do camel camel for other Amazon countries but it is definitely worth checking when you are after something specific and out of stock in Argos etc.

ArthurChristmas · 17/10/2015 19:48

Dingbats, thanks for the link, just purchased a whisky taster. If anyone else is interested in Flavia, my link is here:
flaviar.com/i/ODAyODI4ZkwqUzUj

I saw finger lights in HB yesterday for 69p if anyone wants to repeat from last year but closer to home!!

PoopPoooDeDooo · 17/10/2015 19:53

Box the mini micro was from Poppy and Zach- if you order by price, there are a few that we already reduced by 10% and the code still works

d270r0 · 17/10/2015 20:03

I wouldn't cancel hotel chocolat until you've received and paid for the first box, or they won't send you it if yiu've cancelled.

ReluctantCamper · 17/10/2015 20:11

TheOddity , many thanks for the tip. The Playmobil search is at an end. I just ordered this summer house for £14.28 delivered. Saves £5 on the UK price!

JaquelineHyde · 17/10/2015 20:11

£5 off when you spend £30 at the book people with TAKE5 not sure if it's stackable

Evans £10 off orders over £60, or £20 off orders over £100 with code SHOPNEW
