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.

Great thread - thank you.
I'm planning on getting my 9 year old daughter and diary that we will then fill with experiences for her like cinema tickets, pamper session, fancy milkshake voucher etc..
Can anyone think of anymore ideas please? Want to do a mix of really nice things and cheaper / smaller things. Family might chip in too.
Thanks..

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 20/08/2016 09:14

Got a fashion wheel, thanks! Love the entertainer for their £5 bargains. Got a tamagotchi before Grin

ScarlettDarling · 20/08/2016 09:15

Got so excited about the fashion wheel...then noticed that it says due in early Feb!

GinAndSonic · 20/08/2016 09:16

Ordered the jurassic Park annual for DS.
I'd particularly like sling bookcases for all the billions of picture books we have, if anyone spots any bargain ones I'd be super grateful for the link.
Someone mentioned upthread about dolls dress up in Wilkos, thanks for reminding me, will probably get one for DD for her baby born.

ninjaturtlesmum · 20/08/2016 09:19

Ooh love these threads, followed avidly last year - love Christmas! I don't know if this would help anyone its a paracord bracelet making kit www.amazon.co.uk/FabLab-FL008-Paracord-Wrist-Bands/dp/B011NTTO9Y
Have ordered a couple for my sons as they love crafts and camping!!

GerrardWinstanley · 20/08/2016 09:19

lifeonthemuvaside I've received three of the knitted mermaids tail blankets from Twinkle deals and they seem really good quality. No idea how they'll stand up to wear though. They have splits up the back and are quite heavy so I don't think you could use them as dress up tails. Also, if you order them, take note of the length listed for each one. The child size one I bought is a little small for my tall 5yo. Might give it to the new cat Grin

woodwaj · 20/08/2016 09:24

We all love a bit of La Redoute!

Thread 2 - the one where we all buy a shark pet bed even if we don't have pets
ninjaturtlesmum · 20/08/2016 09:25

Sorry - rookie poster, meant to add that the paracord bracket kit is £6.20 at the moment.

NotPennysBoat · 20/08/2016 09:29

Just ordered two fashion wheels, I noticed it said early Feb in the description, but when I went through checkout it says I can click and collect in 30 mins! Might be a good option for whoever was looking for a birthday present for today?? Will report back if I have any issues with collecting today.

notanotherusername123 · 20/08/2016 09:39

mmgirish last year Amazon sold the fire tablet (normal one) for £34.99 on Black Friday! My boys both had the Samsung Galaxy kids tablets and they quickly figured out how to get it out of kids mode into normal mode. They both broke this year (both 18 months old and the charging points have got too loose or something so they no longer charge) so I'm hoping Amazon do their deal again on the regular fire to get for their birthdays (Jan & Feb). They will be 5 & 8.

NotPennysBoat · 20/08/2016 09:41

For info, my Fashion Wheels are ready to collect from my local store now.

LostMyRubySlippers · 20/08/2016 09:46

Debenhams have some fancy dress forums reduced, few Star Wars & some are 70% off. There are also codes for 10% off toys/ 20% off clothing- not sure which category these would come under!

LostMyRubySlippers · 20/08/2016 09:46

Fancy dress costumes!!!

ScarlettDarling · 20/08/2016 09:46

For any board game fans, Pandemic is currently only £18.99 on Amazon. It's a great game, got it for my son last Christmas and it was about £28 then. I'm buying it for my niece this year!

LostMyRubySlippers · 20/08/2016 09:52

Also on debenhams, playmobil goldmine down to £22
Cheaper than Amazon, plus use code MC43 for extra 10% off

RJnomore1 · 20/08/2016 10:15

I've bought dd2 a kindle fire for her birthday next month, they did them for £35 on Amazon prime day so I think they will for Black Friday again . The kids one had I think £30 off too.

GerrardWinstanley · 20/08/2016 10:19

40% off personalised tote bags at <a class="break-all" href="//hwww.zazzle.co.uk/tote+bags" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zazzle with code ZAZZLEBAGS16. Though you do have to pay postage (my delivery charge quote was £2.50ish) so maybe only worth it if you're ordering a few? Might be good for teachers' presents?

AlwaysNeverOnTime · 20/08/2016 10:24

Christmas bedding ordered! Is it December yet? Grin whoever was asking about checked buttoned pjs, argos had them really cheap. Ill see if I can find the link again.

AlwaysNeverOnTime · 20/08/2016 10:25

Mummyshortlegz · 20/08/2016 10:26

Can someone repost the bedding link? Sorry I can't find it.

teablanket · 20/08/2016 10:28

Scarlett thank you so much for the pandemic tip!!

AlwaysNeverOnTime · 20/08/2016 10:29
