I too am looking for a baby Annabel learns to walk Baldrick, have not see one for less than £40. I'm wondering whether to hold off til the end. DD2 has consistently asked for one for the last 6 months but is now asking for something different every advert she sees.

Lots of candy canes in poundworld fabflo.

Just a thanks for the Aliexpress Cath Store link. Ordered a new backpack for myself as a treat and its fab. Indistinguishable from the ones in the Cath Store in town

Thanks traviata - that looks right. Will go check it out! If anyone has a homesense near them, they have beautiful LeToy wooden doll houses in stock. Forgot to take a photo but it was Victoria House and I think Mayberry it definitely wasn't pink so I think it was this. They retail for well over a £100 and were £60-70 st Homesense. They also had a Bosch kitchen which was very gender neutral and a very girly Honeybake kitchen (sorry didn't notice prices on those due to an impatient child who doesn't understand the point of researching bargains we don't indent to purchase).

They also had these lovely - but not bargains - Orla Kierly for Kids duvets for £30 /single and £40/double

For maths and physics loving pre-unit age teenagers, Amazon have a lightning deal just now on the book Professor Povey's Perplexing Problems. It is £6 including delivery - have checked several other online book stores and it seems to be c£14-£20.

Getting great reviews.

grr @auto correct for pre-unit above, should read pre-uni

Fabflo I bought some Cinderella jewellery boxes with spinning Cinders in M&S. They have a kids washable nail varnish, body shimmer lotion and lip balm inside. They were £15 each but in the 3-4-2 in the beauty department.

Jeanniejampots80 have you got the link for the cath kidson bags? That looks great! Thanks

judgelionelnutmeg · 01/12/2015 18:18

Thanks to whoever posted the Brewhive code - I've ordered the 24 beers for myself and DH. Hopefully some very good beers for a very good price!

Argos have parachutes for under £10 xalyssx and they're included in the 2 for £15. Just in case you need a reserve...

Pooseyfrumpture · 01/12/2015 18:22

Can anyone help with bargain photo frames? Idally I need something that will take 4 x landscape and 1 x portrait in one frame. Probably 6x4 size (each). Or would it be easier to create a collage in Picasa and get that printed in 10x8?

Adarajames · 01/12/2015 18:27

Can anyone recommend bargain wicker basket type things to make up a hamper? Rather spend more money on goodies to go in - already have cellophane etc.

yaffle · 01/12/2015 18:51

SECRETSANTA gives 20% off of a £35 or over spend at Cath Kidston.

Jeanniejampots80 · 01/12/2015 18:55

BabaBoomBoom it's m.aliexpress.com/store/storeHome.htm?storeNo=1462570&tracelog=store2mobilestore

The quality is great, at least it is looking at it

neddle · 01/12/2015 19:04

Was in Home Bargains last night and they had some nice looking wicker baskets for hampers - didn't see the price though.

PipersOrange · 01/12/2015 19:35

Oh what's the brewhive code judge !? I can't find it up thread!

ilovetosleep · 01/12/2015 19:46

yaffle have you tried that CK code? been waiting for one for weeks but this doesn't seem to work for me :(

ilovetosleep · 01/12/2015 19:47

Whoops take that back, it does! Hurrah!

doistayordoigo · 01/12/2015 20:03

Does anyone know of a discount code for Andrew James?

Romcom · 01/12/2015 20:03

fabflo home bargains sell whoopie cushions with their balloons and party bag stuff, in a pack of 3 I think for a pound or two.
