As with previously, if I have missed a link you think would be good on the list please post on here or message me. Also if a link doesn't work anymore or an offer is no longer standing please flag it up by telling me in bold .

28 Nov - 5 Dec
Then 16-22 Feb 2017

Camel camel camel is a great amazon price tracking tool here

Top cash back here is a cash back site where you get a percentage of cash back from what you buy when you shop with certain retailers. Just search the shop you want to buy something from in top cash back to see if there is a cash back offer and follow the link on the site to go to the website you want. You can then choose to have the cash back directly in your bank account or have various vouchers. I've managed about £100 in a year but many seem to accrue more maybe I don't buy enough, that's a good excuse if ever I've heard one . You have to earn something like £5 in cash back before they start sending you money. If you need insurance etc they can have great cash back offers. If you follow the link above it will earn me referral credit.

Quidco here is another cash back site like top cash back but has a different offering of shops. See info above.

Has anyone seen a rocket at all? I had my eye on the happyland one but its out of stock now. Ideally looking for something similar in size to that and less than £20. It's for baby DS' bedroom so needs to be suitable for small children. Any ideas?

GerudoValley · 19/08/2016 16:36

Not Christmas but - has anyone seen any bargains for Halloween costumes for toddlers? Maybe a dinosaur or something? And not too flammable!

Speaking of which last year I bought some LED candles from Amazon to put in pumpkins and they worked really well. Would be good for Christmas as well to be safe around kids and pets.

woodwaj · 19/08/2016 16:42

99percent our home bargains always have these in for 19.99

Mummyshortlegz · 19/08/2016 16:44

Try the sainsbury sale for costumes, they have 25% off too. They had pterodactyl and frozen ones in mine. Can't comment on flammability.

TobleroneBoo · 19/08/2016 17:03

RoastieToastieReastie · 19/08/2016 17:49

Lunar we do Christmas wrap in brown paper and DD loves doing red and green hand prints on it and using Christmas shared biscuit cutters dipped in festive coloured paint to make festive shapes in the paper.

I'm looking forward to seeing a photo of Alfie cat in his shark bed at Christmas :)

Thanks for Thomas boots link £5 with free delivery ds will love them ordered next size up though as Christmas still seems quite far away Blush

cookiefiend · 19/08/2016 18:02

Reastie- do you paint the paper before you wrap? I was tempted last year, but worrie ethe paper would get all crumpled whilst drying. I thought about wrapping first, but what If the paint goes through? I chickened out and did paper bags instead which we painted.

FeelingSmurfy · 19/08/2016 18:14

Missed the stamps, well done to everyone who got them, they look great!

Debenhams have some costumes reduced too.

RoastieToastieReastie · 19/08/2016 19:02

Cookie we decorate before we wrap and have never had any issues with it leaking through or going crinkly. It's quite thick brown paper so if you had very thin stuff it might be more inclined to have issues.

Smurfy hope you're ok?

yay the Christmas thread.

Haudyerwheesht · 19/08/2016 19:16

I've got those stamps. They are TEENY just as a warning for little ones.

paddlenorapaddle · 19/08/2016 19:27

Who wanted traditional pj's button through ? Powell craft do beautiful ones

VinoTime · 19/08/2016 19:35

If anyone notices the pony club Lottie doll getting reduced anywhere, please shout. Loudly.

I can't find it lower than £29.99 anywhere Sad

Lunar1 · 19/08/2016 19:47

I'm going to steel the cookie cutter idea for my brown paper. I've got loads of rolls of really thick pe own paper for my business so I'll get an extra one.

The stamps sold out quickly, I bet sellers wonder what on earth is going on when that happens!

Lunar1 · 19/08/2016 19:47

Hope you're ok smurfy
