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 .

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.

Stompees for £5.99 on Amazon. I've bought DDs a pair each, unicorn and bunny. Here's the Perky Pink Puppy (Small) www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00FBCVK2O/ref=cmswrcpapi_cLBUxb5E3KHRB puppy

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 21/08/2016 15:38

Could anyone with a 6 yr old dd help me please? Have a niece that age and can't decide between the mermaid tail blanket or a barbie with a mermaid tail that also blows bubbles - any thoughts on what's likely to be most enjoyed?

Matilda2013 · 21/08/2016 16:01

I'd say mermaid with bubbles. Bubbles always win I think?

Potentialmadcatlady · 21/08/2016 16:14

I ordered the Yankee advent candle calendars and they are lovely...would it be unresonable to order three more sets ( I got a set of two) so I have all my female presents for teachers,neighbours etc got in one go...( and one for me!).. No hoking for hours in tkmax trying to get something in my budget would then be required!!

VinoTime · 21/08/2016 16:51

Big order placed with Campus Gifts so thank you to the poster who shouted out about them. I've never used them before, but saved a fortune in the clearance sale. Spent £46 and got some wonderful Edward Monkton and The Bright Side pieces, both of which can be a little on the pricey side at times. Also got some retro games, books and kids United Oddsocks Grin I'm pissed off that I didn't place my order yesterday - the pink firefly LED jar I wanted to get DD is now out of stock. Only other place I can find it is eBay for £8.99. Arf!

Muddlewitch · 21/08/2016 16:56

If anyone's DC are into the Ugglys mentioned unthread, the Petshop is only £3 on Amazon at the moment

Popped into my local Debenhams for school stuff amd ended up buying bargains.
I couldn't find a Rey costume online when a pp linked to Debenhams dressing up but I got a Deluxe Rey costume for £7.50
Standard Finn costume for £6.60
Game of life junior edition for £8

I've since ordered the deluxe Finn costume for click and collect as they didn't have it in store (£11.25 after using the 10% off toys code) and will return the standard one for an exchange.

May be worth looking in store if you want Rey costumes, there were about ten in mine in total, both medium (5-6) and large (7-8) (Newcastle Eldon square store for anyone local)

RJnomore1 · 21/08/2016 17:03

Is there a code for campus gifts?

Potential I think it would be rude not to get them all the same if you know they are great presents at the right price.

If you don't you'll be cursing double loudly when you're looking in TKMaxx and you can't find anything whilst knowing that you could have had this done and dusted in August!

VinoTime · 21/08/2016 17:12

No code for Campus Gifts RJ. They've got 20% off their whole range atm and a big clearance sale on. Free delivery on orders £40 and over.

Thanks Matilda. I'm inclined to think bubbles win too Smile

RJnomore1 · 21/08/2016 17:28

Ah thanks vino off for a good browse.

Shark bed!!

Thread 2 - the one where we all buy a shark pet bed even if we don't have pets
StrumpersPlunkett · 21/08/2016 17:33

For those who have the Yankee candle calendar does it have 2015 on it?

RJnomore1 · 21/08/2016 17:39

Thanks founds some fab stocking fillers!

Haudyerwheesht · 21/08/2016 17:46

itsnice Dd is almost 6 and would love the Barbie with bubbles!

SideOrderofChip · 21/08/2016 17:48

Oh god. im looking at the shark bed and i dont think my fatbastard ChipsCat will fit...

Potentialmadcatlady · 21/08/2016 18:19

Yes I think you are right Confuugled..espically as I a, trying to plan an alternative Christmas this year for me and my kids.( we going away) .Will order another three sets at end of week..
Strumper- no they don't have 2015 on them..I followed the link and ended up getting a set of two for £24 including delivery so £12 each..my budget for teacher presents etc is usually £10 so they will be a bit more but all the time I will save will be worth it...my teen wants some for her friends too- budget is normally £15 so it will even out and I will be all sorted!

GerrardWinstanley · 21/08/2016 18:27

ItCouldBeWorse my all thing b&b order arrived yesterday. Just checked and I placed the order on 13th and had an email saying it had despatched on 16th.

GerrardWinstanley · 21/08/2016 18:36

ItsNice DD who is almost 6 would definitely go for the bubble blowing barbie even though she's freakishishly fond of blankets. We even have to to take one on one holiday with us so she can put it over her knees in the car Hmm. If I was choosing for her I'd go for the blanket but we are overrun with both dolls and bubbles in this houseBlush. That doesn't help does it??

FeelingSmurfy · 21/08/2016 19:06

Yankee advent calendars don't have date on, but the house style does

Not received my all things Brighton Beautiful order yet

RoastieToastieReastie · 21/08/2016 19:07
