Thread 14 - I don't think a parachute is something you want to scrimp on

[RoastieToastieReastie]

That quote tickled me after a poster asked for a bargainous parachute

Look at posts 2 and 3 for links and quotes

I've PM'd you Delores

I went to my local matalan this morning to see what offers they had.

The stocking with letters on them are now £3 and if your name starts with an X they defo haven't sold out yet

I also got a santa hat for baby for £1.25. My first Christmas musical bib for £1.50 a wreath for £3 and a wooden abacus for £5 . Adult Xmas socks reduced to 50p. Adult Xmas jumpers half price at £10 and kids Xmas jumpers £5 . Some onesies and Christmas dress up were half price too

Cox and Cox now has up to 50% off here

Boots have their No7 Ultimate Collection Indulgent Wishes set down from £75 to £37.50. (Includes Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Day cream (50ml), Advanced Night cream (50ml), lots of other bits including mascara).

I know there was a £10 free spend with Mumsnet through Quidco at Superdrug but can't seem to find it. Does anyone know if it's expired? :)

Lovely perfume by Sarah Jessica Parker £15 at Debenhams.

Elvish I would love an ELC code, please! Was just about to buy DS his main gifts from there...

Thank you to the very kind Mumsnetter who pm'd the Boden code. Ds3's t-shirts are on their way!

Nearly done now... Just need a present for an animal and football mad 9 year old girl, who hates pink and purple and loves colouring! Budget about £10 - any ideas?

Also, if anyone has a Boden voucher they are not going to use, i would be eternally grateful. Thanks.

This is my first year on these threads and I am sad that it is slowing down but good that everyone must be almost done

Just seen this go pro offer on hot uk deals if anyone is still looking sure it will sell out fast if it hasnt already

Petal 7 Melissa and Doug do stained glass colouring books. How about that and a new set of crayola supertips?

Stabilo roll of pens Petal? I think there's some 20% off WH Smiths vouchers doing the rounds at the moment as well so that's good for stationery.

Has anyone got any good voucher codes for delivered plants/flowers?

And any brilliant ideas for good books for a 3 year old, a 2 year old and a baby?

Anyone - for 3 year old , I have a DGS and his favourites are
the Sarah and Duck books
Gruffalo
What the Ladybird Heard
Penguin and Pinecone
New Home for a Pirate
Stuck/ The Day The Crayons Quit - in fact anything by Oliver Jeffers
Best Birthday Present Ever

we like books in our family - I used to sell them and my DD is an English teacher... :)

I've a three year and also likes the usual gruffalo, Oliver Jeffers etc, but is really getting into the classic fairy tales lately - m&s have some lovely simple versions and have a really nice box set at the mo, which might actually be on sale (must not twitch!!).

Oh Oliver Jeffers is a good idea. I passed on a lot of the DCs' old favourite books to this family (Gruffalo etc) so most of my normal modern classic standbys are already taken but Oliver Jeffers is a bit after the DC's time, so weren't in the passed on bundle.

Sorry Osquito the code has gone already.

Thanks for the suggestions, margarita and anyone

anyone how about the Ladybird Baby Touch books for the baby?

And my 2.5 yr old likes The Very Busy Spider, Tip Tip Dig Dig and its companion Toot Toot Beep Beep (!), and Fox's Socks, Rabbit's Nap and the rest of the same series of Julia Donaldson books. These latter ones I have seen in a pack cheaply at the Book People.

Anyone - we have just brought what the ladybird heard next and its a great story.

Another request for a Boden voucher if anyone has one they haven't used, many thanks! Also, I just checked their site and everything is full price - I thought I saw someone mention their sale starting today??

Anyone please help -
I need fine long sleeve long line (not to waist, but hip/thigh) layering tops for my sister - shopping today so I want to get this sorted as its last minute request! The sort of tops you can wear under a fine knit jumper instead of a long line vest but with long sleeves - and not too dear, only have basic shops near me but could do an online order - I just don't have time to look today. I'd be so grateful for a recommendation please

Gap has loads of them Serenite. 15 quid with 25% off today.

Can anyone please recommend somewhere online to buy decent guest room bedding? I'm needing a few double bed sets for the many guests over Christmas. Thanks

Penguin - I'm a big fan of these people for my bedlinen and towels
