I couldn't think of a name Blush for the thread.

Hopefully links in message two work. Thanks to chips with helping me ok so she basically did it compile the initial list.

Here's to Christmas 2016 Wine

That is a bargain need. DD has had hers for ages, well before 3 so I can't see a risk.

If anyone is buying the benefit make up set. They just emailed me to say if anyone buys from my link you will get a free make up bag and so will I. If anyone is interested let me know.

I'd love to see a photo of the capes Bababa if you don't mind!

FuturesAChanging · 10/08/2016 19:05

Anyone got any recommendations for buying Elsa/Anna dolls from AliExpress? Either the plush ones or more like doll ones, and what is the packaging like for gifting?

RoastieToastieReastie · 10/08/2016 19:14

Futures I got the Barbie type elsa doll in the sainsburys sale for something like £1.50 and have no one to give it to if you're looking for that type of doll. Pm me if you are.

Just off to fully catch up now...

Can i see the xapes aswell bababa

Rifleponyandme · 10/08/2016 19:14

Capes not xapes

OvO · 10/08/2016 19:22

I bought a cape too, but from a different seller than the one linked to, because you buggers had bought the ones I wanted!

Mine was okay. The Velcro to close the cape is pretty crappy. It's not sewed on straight or even securely. A few tugs and it'll be off. Will need to redo that myself.

I would like more so if anyone has an eBay seller they can recommend I'd love you forever. Xmas Grin

SomethingOfTheNight · 10/08/2016 19:28

Thanks for the Joules wellies link Silver, perfect for my sister Flowers and me

WeeM · 10/08/2016 19:37

My friend got me this for my birthday and it's great. Especially when you are so desperate for wine you can't wait for it to chill in fridge (my friend knows me well!). Good for a secret Santa/stocking filler
Corkcicle

Also Last year Molton Brown did a lovely wee Xmas bauble thing with shower gel in it for a tenner that came in a nice box-also a good secret Santa/stocking filler. I presume they do something similar every year.

luckiestgirl · 10/08/2016 19:47

Need Do you know if it would be compatible with brio etc? I have a mixture of brands of track and they all work together, I wonder if this one does too...?

FuturesAChanging · 10/08/2016 19:52

Thanks very much reastie, but I was thinking/looking at the plush 40cm ones, just wondering if they are good / come in branded packaging?

Fannyfannakerpants · 10/08/2016 19:59

My capes arrived today as well. They're Great for the price. Might order some more.

NeedACleverNN · 10/08/2016 20:03

It says on the box it's compatible with various brands so I would guess so yes

FeelingSmurfy · 10/08/2016 20:16

Does anyone have a link to the capes? Know someone who could use them

GettingScaredNow · 10/08/2016 20:19

Bugger it.
I've spent £30 today on Christmas Lego!
But it's gonna make Dd SOOOO happy. Got a ginger bread house and a Christmas tree.
She LOVES gingerbread houses.
It's become a December tradition to build and decorate one.
So combining her two loves will be magical
I fear I may build this up too much between now and then for myself

CocoaBum · 10/08/2016 20:30

Futures I got a couple of Frozen plush dolls last year and they were great but just came in a clear cellophane bag.

Oreocrumbs · 10/08/2016 20:39

GettingScaredNow where did you get the gingerbread house Lego from please? Dd would LOVE that!

GettingScaredNow · 10/08/2016 20:47

Oreo - Ebay in the end. I went all over the place and found it for around £25 on a site called brick link. There's also brickset.
But in the end, Ebay. Was £24 including postage.

Oreocrumbs · 10/08/2016 20:49

Thank you! I'm off for an explore Grin

LostMyRubySlippers · 10/08/2016 21:08

Just seen a few things on aldi.co.uk.... They have tilt torches £7.99 instead of £12.99- various characters inc Star Wars, Paw Patrol, Finding Dory. There was an earlier link to get the Star Wars one £5.99 at Argos but OOS near me. Otherwise these seem to be a good price, cheaper than Amazon.
Can be ordered online for free home delivery.

They have other character bits too- cups, sticker books etc- but some are in store only so have to trawl through a bit.

Also lots of craft books £1 & some scratch & sketch books (where you use the little pointy tool to reveal the rainbow colours underneath)- dinos, princess, fairies etc- £2.99. These look to be closer to a tenner on Amazon. Don't think there's a minimum order for home del

FeelingSmurfy · 10/08/2016 21:12

Lego normally have offers on at Christmas where you get a Christmassy set free if you spend x amount, so if the sets aren't cheaper than rrp it might be worth waiting?

SideOrderofChip · 10/08/2016 21:31

weem yes
MB do the bauble most years. Last year their codes meant we got three for £15 rather than £30. So I think
We're all waiting for that again Xmas Grin
