Fantastic price on these Frozen dresses! Three available - the Elsa Coronation dress and two different versions of the Ice Queen dress. All come with a tiara and the Ice Queen ones have gloves too.
All for the bargain price of £6.99 with free postage!

woody thanks so much, just bought that slumber buddy, it is a bargain! (Although I thought I was done for my littlest DS, couldn't resist!)

Has anyone found pyjamas that both a tall teen and a baby could wear? Mix and match preferably, rather than exactly the same.

DragonmotherKhaleesi · 04/11/2015 22:36

Wowcher are selling a kids tablet for £32 reduced from £129.99 that looks suspiciously like the kindle fire for kidsHmm

If anybody's wrapping up small bits of jewellery for christmas (thinks of everybody that bought stuff from the shamballa site that was closing down a few threads ago...) - Aldi have got some cute little packet things in that would fit a necklace or bracelet that wasn't massive. They were 4 in a pack for 89p - and came with a tag and piece of tissue for each one too.

Best way I can think of describing them is like the pack of a McDonalds hot apple pie (minus the pie of course!) and smaller.

I bought a job lot of the bracelets for assorted family and friends; although they all came in cute little black organza bags, I'm going to pop them into the packets and they'll look a bit more than if I just wrapped up the bags in paper. And more importantly - they'll be much easier and faster to do closer to Christmas if I was being really organised I'd do it sooner rather than leave it until then!

Really want a McDonalds hot apple pie now.

Am I the only one smirking at the idea of one pair of pyjamas being shares out between a tall teen and a baby?

I am the only one..? Oh... OK, I'll get my coat....Grin

I really want a Panda Pop!

I ordered one of these Emoji pillows after a post on here a few threads back, it took about 3 weeks to arrive and I'm really impressed with the quality. It is also bigger than some that I saw and only £3.44 free delivery!

Hi ladies, Does anyone know when the cineworld gift boxes will be available to buy? Keeps saying coming soon Hmm x

justkeeponsmiling · 05/11/2015 04:55

Arthur I'm doing a "night in gift box" for my DB and SIL. So far I have a big cuddly throw, a dvd, a board game and some posh hot chocolate. Will probably add some sweets, some candles and anything else I might come across that would fit with the theme. SIL will be about 6m pregnant by xmas, so probably no booze.
Maybe something along those lines would be a nice idea?

MooseyMoo · 05/11/2015 06:13

lambfam Thank you for link to Best Years. I've never heard of that website before but my Dino mad DS will love the Stripey T-Rex Flowers I quite like him too

OrangeSquashTallGlass · 05/11/2015 06:32

Delores & Flop, I definitely grinned at the thought of a baby and tall teen sharing pjs. Grin

Reastie · 05/11/2015 06:46

I went to cineworld last week and I'm sure I saw boxes like the picture on their website for sale for the night out for two at the counter so maybe they are available at the cinemas already (disclaimer: 0please don't take a huge trip especially based on my post, it could have been an annual cinema gift box)

Flowers to whoever recommended checking Playmobil prices on German Amazon (www.amazon.de

I found the Playmobil 3 wise men set for 10 euros (compared to 15 pounds on UK Amazon and 12 pounds in the shops, assuming you can actually find it) and a toy cable car that I've had on my wish list for a while for 20 euros instead of 18 pounds

SitsOnFence · 05/11/2015 06:56

Whoops, pressed post too soon!

That should be nearly 19 pounds for the cable car. Even with 6 euro shipping I still saved 7 pounds on Amazon UK prices.

In addition to Playmobil there were loads of bargains to be had on Haba and Fischertecknik (think that's how it's spelt...) and Kraul is also worth a search too for lovely forest school style wooden toys. this is the cable car toy I bought

AllyourGreens · 05/11/2015 07:14

Can somene post the deal on Gotrovo again I can't seem to find it- pretty pretty please!

Ali Express seems to have been tried and tested on here Grin. Has anyone had any problems? What is the safest way to pay? (Do they accept paypal?)

TobleroneBoo · 05/11/2015 07:36

arthur if not taste card then try gourmet society, everywhere has different restaurants that sign up to it that depends on area. Also if you go direct to the taste card website they will try and tell you it's £79 ish quid but they are £35 on buyagift and there are always vouchers floating about

WhirlwindHugs · 05/11/2015 07:48

The penguin scarf is now up to 2.88 but if you look at the other colour options there is some variation in price. I just ordered the blue for 2.65 - looks great value!

Smudge588 · 05/11/2015 07:51

Sitsonfence- is there any way to get that Amazon site in English? There are a few kraul toys I've wanted for ages but it says it can't ship to my address, my German isn't good enough to work out why!

sillylily · 05/11/2015 08:01

Halloween leftover bargains in Sainsbury - I got a little set of not especially halloweeny face paints for 30p which will do nicely as a stocking filler. There were other similar bargains.

AttitcusFinchIsMyFather · 05/11/2015 08:04

fox28 I bought those socks from Aliexpress, they are good, thick socks! A teeny bit itchy for me though Grin
