sorry nothing to add but if anyone sees any KINDLE FIRE HD deals i would be eternally grateful for the heads up

Penguinbeaver · 26/11/2015 13:37

Lex yes back issues for a £1 each. On the face of them look worth it.
Persis how about the Melissa and Doug Doorbell house for the 18 month old?

CRtester · 26/11/2015 13:43

emark check amazon. They've got a kindle fire deal on today. I don't know much about the different types, so it might not be the one you wanted, but I definitely saw one as deal of the day.

EmGee · 26/11/2015 13:46

Boot's deal of the day is the Sonicare Diamondclean electric toothbrush (in all colours) for 89.99 (RRP 249.99 Hmm). I bought it last week for 109.00 :(
You also get 10 pounds worth of points for every 60 quid spent.

CRtester · 26/11/2015 13:49

PersisThe early learning centre have got a good sale on ATM. Alternatively, there are quite a lot of toys coming up in amazon lightening deals. Melissa and Doug do lots of good things. You might find something for both the 18month old and 3 year old.

penguin that looks great but it says 3+ again. I'm not that bothered if she can't play with it too much as long as it's not actually dangerous. Tempted to buy it for my toddler though, she would love it! Must NOT twitch!!!

allisbrightandshiney · 26/11/2015 13:54

Meg Tesco wine offer is in store too

TennesseeMountainPointOfView · 26/11/2015 13:58

juliecloud - you have to sign up to the site, and then it reduces all the prices. I only looked at heelies so I don't know about roller skates. As far as I could tell, signing up just adds you to the mailing list.

TennesseeMountainPointOfView · 26/11/2015 14:02

I just checked and it does say the offer is only for Heelies.

Skatehut have got Black Friday offers online, they have some Heelies for £30-ish but these are mostly the plainer, older styles I think. They've got skates too, including some in the sale, and free delivery.

Hey zipzap You kindly suggested some ace stationery to me on last year's thread. Flowers

I just wanted to ask you about the perfume. I want to buy my friend some Eternity....just a 100ml bottle not a gift set. Amazon are selling it for £22.80 compared to your retailer £56. The packaging for the plain bottles doesn't change season to season right? In which case, why is the Amazon one so cheap. I cannot believe that a huge retailer like Amazon could get away with selling a Calvin Klein rip off, or am I naive?

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 26/11/2015 14:24

Zipzap thanks, I was reading some of the reviews and it looks like the really bargainous ones might be old stock? I think I might get something from Debs instead.
Eco, try the cheap perfume sites for 1881. I have seen it somewhere, I'm sure.

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 26/11/2015 14:29

Allbeauty has 1881 with a big discount.

Boy (3), my son is four but loves dinosaurs. The natural history museum has an online shop and you can get soft toy dinosaur, puzzles, an egg with toy dinosaur inside that you have to dig out. There's a great Usborne lift the flap book about dinosaurs too, it's called look inside or see inside dinosaurs. There's a nice double sided Orchard games dinosaur jigsaw.

Girl (18 months) my daughter is 16 months old and she likes books, especially the ones where you can lift the flap or pop up. They do a get a little wrecked but she does like them. Usborne again do some nice baby ones. She likes the "that's not my..." books too. Or bath toys, if she's getting hand me downs then bath toys tend to get pretty ruined. We have the musical dolphins which are pretty popular.

Thanks Tennessee

2legit2knit · 26/11/2015 14:37

Does anyone know of any Cath Kidston codes?

1881 100ml is a lightning deal on Amazon at 7.10pm eco

WindTheFrog · 26/11/2015 14:37

Oh thank you emgee I've wanted that toothbrush for ages but I've never seen such a good offer.

Reastie · 26/11/2015 14:38

Trixy I love neom, but I bought a diffuser from tkmaxx recently of theirs and the bottle was a different shape to others I've recently bought and the liquid looked more watery and less oily too and I don't find the smell lasts as well. I'm not sure that it might just be old stock in tkmaxx.

There's so much going on with Black Friday that I'm not generally going to put any codes in it in the op if you don't mind (aoart from toblerones nice list I've put in ready for next thread) as they will be old so soon. Is there a specific Black Friday thread I can link to in next op does anyone know? (Happy for anyone to post stuff here though).

There was a post a few threads ago about a good deal on sharpies in whsmith.

Allbeauty has 60% off Eternity edp as well.

Oreocrumbs · 26/11/2015 14:39

I don't know about the eternity, but last year I bought a big bottle of contradiction from Amazon for something ridiculous like £10. It was for me and it was genuine. I don't know how/why they put the prices out like they do, I'm not up to speed on if they change bottle designs or such, but the perfume I bought was just as good as any I've bought in boots etc. If that helps anyone!

Trumpton · 26/11/2015 14:39

OLAFISKING
Trumpton where have you found them? For me it's still only showing until the 16th and their site says dates released three weeks ahead.

You have to have delivery plan to get Christmas week. If it's still not showing you will need to ring them . The new dates are I the normal place by the way.

BeaBoo · 26/11/2015 14:43

My ELC order just arrived and I'm really pleased with it. Got 5x sets of their own brand play doh (4 pots in a set), 2x roller and stamp sets for said play doh, 2x Happyland mystery bags, 2x elephant race games and a Happyland pet set for £29.

shash1982 · 26/11/2015 14:52
