Thread 7 - the one where we have to find somewhere to hide the giant unicorns

[RoastieToastieReastie]

See post two for links etc and please let me know if I've forgotten anything good

NoOne Toy chainsaw

I am a big lurker but have already bought so many bargainous things from the threads so thank you all.
I have to buy a Wii U as Christmas present for DS and wondered where I could get a good deal. I don't usually spend so much money and it's already making me sweat!

Amazon have four for three on stationery.
Includes a giant fox eraser, Busy B calendar and Sharpie highlighters.

The joy! Robert's here safe and sound at last. A kind neighbour took him in. I had to dash home to hide him temporarily in the garage before collecting DD from after school club. No time to get in the loft!

He's gorgeous. And not as big as I had built him to be in my mind! Although he definitely won't be fitting in my washing machine. ps he came in a long skinny box.

Thanks for the Boden skirt link, I had £10 credit with them so got it for 9.00. Looks like it might be a while until I get it but never mind.

That shopkins bundle is not actually a bargain! The two individual parts cost the same to buy anyway!

User141 - we bought a wii u (with Mario kart bundle I think) a couple of years ago. I got it from Very and did the 'take 3' thing, so paid for it over 3 months, which made it much easier!

Firefly - YES YOU NEEEEEEED the Winter diffuser!!
Or the room spray

I got the Winter room spray last year (with 25% off I think) and it's the best Christmassy smell. Still over half the bottle left and I sprayed it a lot in the run up. Still smells just as good now have already started spraying again
But I have just added another candle to my stash.

I also got a little silver plated photo frame £15 down to £11.25 with the code (AM777 if you don't want to scroll up) which is a good present idea for girlls/people where you aren't sure what they want/need.

You all probably know anyway but I'll post incase it's useful to anyone.
With Argos 3 for 2, if you find your store (or any nearby) don't have a particular item in stock, you can get the offer on the Argos Ebay outlet. I've managed to get all 3 of my things on there and paid £3.99 for postage (could have got click and collect but couldn't be bothered with the hassle as one of the things I wanted wasn't in stock anywhere at all near me).

I want the Boden skirt!

...and a code...

...i also dont have an account. Its not looking good for me is it

I really want a Robert. We have a boy he wouldnt want it. My OH has been told about it and i don't think he will be at all surprised if one was to turn up!

Just bought a spider book and toy as DS is going through a spider phase. He'll probably be out of it by Christmas anyhooo they had a few little sets reduced from about £12 to £5.
book gift set

I e-mailed DH the link to the Argos Robert assuming he'd veto and he said immediately buy for DD1! I didn't tell him that it was 3 for 2 so I had to buy some other things... I promised DD1 a massive teddy when her sister was born in January which I never got round to as the ones I was looking at we're £90
So I am glad I waited for this £17 bargain!! She LOVES unicorns too (she'll be 4 in Jan).

On the downside my Christmas train arrived today and the back carriage is broken so it does 't link to the carriage in front. It looks like it was like that when it was packed! Has anyone returned theirs? Is it easy?

My christmas train was broken emailed them and they replied straight away saying they were sending a replacement.

Picked up the Boden skirt for me - £4.75 with voucher!

Has anyone seen any good remote control cars suitable for a vehicle mad 4 yo? Or a very cheap nano drone?

The Habitat site is awful due to HAB25 code. So slow and crashing a lot (hence no link), but if you can persevere the code works on clearance so wipes out postage if you spend £25-£30. There's a cheese board half price which would be good for a food hamper.

I ordered these farm animals/accessories at weekend came today so impressed easily worth £10 (I generally buy Lanka kade and holztiger) will be great for stocking or as I plan for holiday on plane.

£2.99

Thank you to whoever posted the Brand Attic link. My top arrived today and it's perfect.

Has anyone received their helicopters yet? I've emailed seller twice (via Amazon ), but have yet to receive a response.

CarrotVan what about the Maisto rock crawler RC car?

I'm still waiting for the helicopter too and have also emailed the seller twice!

I think it's going to be a dud, I'm going to raise it with Amazon to get my money back.

Possibly a good thing, 'cos with all these bargains I'm rapidly ploughing through amount I planned to spend and dd hasn't actually asked for anything yet . ** Oops

If anyone sees a road rippers crocodile monster truck that's a bargain please let me know

Did you get Boden codes in the post or by email? I'm wondering why Jonny isn't sending me one...

Anyone have a Boden code they won't be using? I had one that got taken away by the lovely recycling lorry this morning typical

Tesco have some lovely super hero figures (batman, Spider-Man, iron man etc) and Star Wars BOGOF

Also the playmobil space rocket with launch site

I received the helicopter. No idea if it works - if I did and it did I'd probably break it! So it's still in it's box for husband's december birthday.

I've just sat down with the local paper and inside is the Toys R Us catalogue with Robert on the front! I've shown DH, he is glad I have no one to buy it for (although my nieces would love a Robert my DB and SIL wouldn't)
