Thread 6 - the one where the shark beds go astray and we try not to eat our chocolate hauls

[RoastieToastieReastie]

Rubbish title but I'm off to bed in a min (it's been one of those days).

As usual links are on post two.

If I've missed anything good (which could be very likely as I'm getting back to work mode atm) let me know.

dont stop my DN(7) is animal mad. I got her this animal encyclopaedia for her birthday and she absolutely loves it. There are lots of smaller national geographic books about amazing/funny/record breaking animals too.
Or what about a subscription to junior national geographic magazine?

That book looks fab Banoffee My DD(6) would love that.

I picked up my Paw Patrol Trainig Set just now from the Entertainer (bought for DN age 4). The staff were asking me how I got it at half price as they had about 4 go through that day! One of the girls wanted to buy it for her DD and couldn't work out how to get the 50% off! I gave her the code but I'm sure it's finished now hasn't it.

Has anyone ordered the eBay Pokemon and received them? Just wondering are they OK please?

Camel says that this Lego Friends Heartlake Riding school set is the lowest price it's been on Amazon, reduced from £49.99 to £35.80 here

dontstop my DD(6) loves craft too. She's got quite into fiddly things and asked for a sewing kit. You know like a 'make your own first felt owl' or something. She loves Hama beads, lego, modelling clay. Live pets are also big at the moment!!

Lego is still her go to toy. The elves editions are good and the Cinderella castle.

Dont know if this is old hat now but 1received 2 superhero capes today brilliant quality and a nice little stocking filler for the price will defonatly be ordering more

*i recived not 1 received bloody typo i'm not the Queen or anything

Thank you for all the animal ideas - oreo - she would love a puppy to bits - however, my dh would probably be furious!!

I like that animal encyclopedia - dd does like books. Some great ideas here - thank you all

dontstop, hello from an old 10/10 antenatal fellow!
We've got Heelys for DS for his upcoming birthday, £22 on Amazon. Bargain!

dontstop and redlarva 10/10 AN club? I was there , do I know you?

Doc, I will PM you!

dontstop my dd sounds very similar to yours (6 in October too!) and I'm making her a storage type trolley (the kind with lots of drawers/trays) and filling it with heaps of creative things- stickers/ tissue paper/ Pens/ glitter/ crafty scissors/ types of card/ pipe cleaners/ paper/ glues/ paints/ sequins/ pom-poms etc. Most are super sale/baker Ross or b and m so it can be as expensive or cheap As I like!

something like this

Just checked and my blender payment was refunded 3 days ago.

Well I've had a go at the brand attic link - a dress from the sale (£10) - the code worked so £5 and includes free standard delivery.
Hope the dress comes in time for my holidays 😃

HUBSAN X4 H107 Quadcopter with LED's reduced again, £3.49 inc delivery

Refunded for cat bed and blenders. Replacement train hopefully on it's way.

Waiting patiently staring at my letterbox and drooling for my Hotel Chocolat Tasting box.

So much for saving it as a present... It's getting gobbled as soon as it arrives!

user - you don't have enough digits in your boden code - It's coming up as not valid
(not that I rushed to try it or anything )

I have a random one - for anyone with a nature obsessed child/adult
the Amateur Naturalistby Gerald Durrell is fab.
It's out of print now so have to get second hand - just got one for DS1 (6) who is starting to get into animals/tracks etc. I had one when I was little so it's quite old - but I remember being totally absorbed in it for years (DBro has snaffled our copy so had to get another)

Just be sure to get a hardbacked book (a4 size) so you get the colour pictures - paperback is smaller and no pictures.
The one above is £3.70ish which is what I paid for mine. Definitely a bargain (IMO) for the amount of stuff in it
