I'm considering a garmin for my dh. I know nothing about them but does anyone know the best place to get one?

Romcom · 22/11/2015 12:36

Sorry for my ignorance but if anyone here is a Garmin user, is this the kind of thing a hubby who likes running, cycling and triathlon-ing would like?!
There are so many types of garmin I'm not sure which is the best....

You'll struggle for a paw patroller unfortunately, there's no more stock expected worldwide until February! Try Amazon France/Germany if you're desperate.

Smyths in NI still had a couple too when I looked. We managed to get the last one in our local entertainer!

VoldemortsNipple · 22/11/2015 12:46

Dh is a pretty serious runner and wouldn't be without his garmin. He used to have a mid range model but when it broke he went for the garmin forerunner 15 as he was short of funds for the more expensive models. I haven't heard him moaning so I expect it does the job just as well. He uses it to pace himself on long runs.

My local entertainer has some paw patrol transporters, click and collect, so may be worth looking there

Littlemousewithcloggson · 22/11/2015 13:01

Just looked on eBay as well and there are ones available from US sellers for £52 plus £11 postage

Hello! Just wanted to ask if anyone had come across the personalised bottles of Coke that lots of us ordered last year. I wanted to order some for DD's friends this year but can only find them available on the US website. Can anyone point me to the right website please? Have they maybe been discontinued?

Iggi999 · 22/11/2015 14:32

Looked at the gap hoodie I wanted for ds this morning, went out for a couple of hours, sold out. I will be quicker next time!

scandichick · 22/11/2015 14:33

Romcom, Garmin is definitely the thing to go for, my family is made up of enthusiastic runners and that's what they have. Will try to find out which model - I'm the couch potato so I don't have one!

Not a Christmas bargain but B&Q are selling those window vacs for £35 today. Just had a quick try of my new one and my patio doors look lovely Wink.

I've just discovered that you can get personalised glasses cleaning cloths for £2.60 on ebay for a small one (bit more for a bigger one) and there seem to be other companies out there that do them too.

If anybody has any recommendations then that would be great but I'm going to try one of these to see if it's worth getting several for family members (well, the ones that wear glasses!) as nice little extra presents that look like I've been thoughtful Xmas Grin...

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Personalised-Glasses-Cleaning-Cloth-Available-In-2-Sizes-/250919771297

Seems they print a photo onto a cleaning cloth for your glasses and it looks like they will put a message on it too if you want...

They also do neoprene sun glasses wallets that they will print for you with a photo and text, albeit more expensive and I haven't looked to see if anyone else does them for a better price.

PresidentUnderwood · 22/11/2015 15:26

littlemouse have pm'd you as I don't know where you live to check entertainer stick for paw patroller

zipzap · 22/11/2015 15:42

Hmm. Having just seen Reastie's post about her Christmas tree, I wonder if MNHQ could give us a Christmas Tree smiley to put on our posts too... or if we'll just have to make do with Xmas Grin santa's various expressions...

Reastie · 22/11/2015 16:02

We can all Christmas name change zipzap I can't wait (although I STILL can't think of one)

can anybody recommend a selfie stick for ds1. I think he would love one nearly as much as he loves himself [sgrin]

Reastie you could be Roastie Wink

Oreocrumbs · 22/11/2015 16:12

VoldermortsNipple pound are selling selfie sticks at the minute for .... Well £1!

VoldemortsNipple · 22/11/2015 16:21

oreo do you know if they are Bluetooth compatible? There are some very cheap ones on Amazon with a separate remote control but I think the ones with the button on the handle would be better.

itsonlysubterfuge · 22/11/2015 16:22

DD made a wish today by throwing a coin into a fountain. Her wish was for us to have lots and lots of Christmas decorations at home. However we are planning on moving as soon as we can find a house Confused. I don't know if I should just put up a few, then have to take them down, or what we are going to do.

On the plus side I've decided to have two lots of Christmas presents this year, some at Thanksgiving and most of them at Christmas. The ones at Thanksgiving will be all the Christmas books and Christmas activities and crafts, advent calendar, and that bargainous Playmobil Santa's house.
