This looks quite good, Mary?

Thanks CR that looks like a great deal. Great site as well I might get my own kids the National Geographic subscription. My worry with The Week is that the news would be mostly UK based and we're not in the UK. I like the look of Mental Floss. He loves lists and things so it looks right up his street. It's pricey though

I read Mental Floss on the Readly app, so I wasn't aware it was quite so expensive, sorry! I find the week has quite a lot of world news normally, but it does get quite UK heavy when there is a big event/election.

ThanksDora. I'm thinking of getting him a subscription for 3 issues and buying the current one to attach it to and then a few stocking fillers. You've been great

Thanks for the Sylvanian posts! Getting a little obsessed now and cursing my mother for not holding onto any of my old stuff!

zipzap thanks for tip about the rubiks cubes, I had no idea the larger ones existed!

Can't see if it's already been mentioned bit lidl have an amazing selection of wooden toys today; dolls houses and cars and train tracks.

Anyone have a deal on an annual subs to The Week magazine?

Rant alert.

Why the hell cant Argos organise their website so that an item that is on special offer and therefore out of stock everywhere I can think of, is shown as such? Or better yet, tell us where it is in stock because I don't think it is, I think they are lying the bastards

Thanks for the nails inc link, bought one for my niece and one for sister in law.

I saw The Week in the Tesco club card boost earlier today if that's any use?

Have Boden £10 voucher
Pm if you want but post to say you have so I know and other people do too

Tolberone, do you definitely want an actual car hoover- only I use a mini handheld dyson which is fantastic for cleaning out the car as you don't need to plug it in and its small and lightweight. And yiu can use it in the house too, great for stairs, spiders webs, crumbs all over the sofa from a toddler, etc.

Just been to Lidl - they have lots of wooden stuff in, including a very bargainous dolls house. Looked very good quality.

Also went to Aldi and saw the biscuit tins - someone was setting them all off I got a rotating musical biscuit tin for £3.99.

My superhero minion team have arrived from alliexpress and they are soooo cute. Very pleased with the quality. ds will be delighted.

I'd love the boden voucher if you still have it. Can't pm (have contacted mnhq) no worries if it's gone. Never got one myself despite emailing.

Joycey have pm'd you re the Boden voucher. Don't worry if it's gone, just thought I'd chance my arm as I seem to be the only one who hasn't received one! (rooted through the recycling to find the Christmas catalogue but no voucher attached!)

And scone I feel your pain re Argos. During the 3 for 2 toys, there was hardly any stock at our local store, even at the start of the offer!

My aliexpress paw patrol toys came today - they look great, in boxes and all 6 for less than £15

Finger - it's all yours will pm back once home

Bicycle - think I have a second - can you receive pms?

Aw if you do have another one that would be great. Thanks! Yeah I can receive pm's just can't reply. Hopefully it'll get sorted soon. Thanks again.

Was someone looking for gingerbread pattern plastic bowls and plates from pound land? Been into my local one this morning and they have lots, happy to buy and post

doistay my MIL is the same so I do her a little stocking with practical bits and pieces that won't hang around forever or take up much room like a reminders/shopping list, pen, nice lip balm etc and this year have got her a hyacinth bulb kit with a lovely ceramic bowl - that she could re-use for something else or give away when the bulbs are done.

mary Aquila is also a good mag but mine is 8 so not sure about 13 yo
