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

I am setting you all a challenge please help me out and save Christmas!

I need a Bowie, Ziggy Stardust Duck. I have included a picture. I am of course looking for cheapest price I can get, but at the moment I am just looking for somewhere I can actually buy one! So money isn't an issue yet

Was about to buy prezzo voucher as present but be careful it's only valid 16th - 31st december in the fine print.

Morning all! Waitrose has 50% off of these battery powered toothbrushes by Colgate £2.25 each.

I picked up some Power Ranger figures and zord thing (25% off Power Ranger stuff at mo) at the Entertainer and saw they are celebrating their 35th bday on Sat 8th Oct with instore competition and spot prize. Also one day birthday deals.

ShoppingBasket the fine print says it's not valid on those dates. There are a number of other exclusions too, and it's a set menu and must be pre booked online. It's a good deal but unfortunately too restrictive for the recipient I had in mind.

do those tesco direct vouchers cover clothes now f&f is under tesco direct?

Oh! Thanks wondermoomin, that'll teach me to skim read!

toffeelatteplease yes it does count on F&F. It also works on higher-value items like XBox and computer games if any of your DCs have those on their Christmas list.

Interesting points about the fine print, will see if there are any other less restrictive offers going.

I've got 10KG of stuffing for £8, hoping that will be enough!!

Ickle - maybe someone could weigh their unicorn which presumably is a similar size to the bear.

FeelingSmurfy it looks like you have got your work cut out on that one, I think its been discontinued...

Just got this vet dress-up in Smyths.
Still 20% off so £4. DD will like it.

For anyone looking for an alternative to an advent calendar I can recommend International Elf Service, you get letters/stories from the elves to hide for little ones to find (I bought a elf on the shelf type doll and used them together). They are lovely stories with fab illustrations, suitable for boys or girls who believe . You can get 24 letters for £35 or 7 letters for £12.50, they also do others including tooth fairy and birthday. I had the 24 letters and the story follows on from day to day. They have 15% discount at the moment using sleighbells2016 and delivery is free worldwide (would be a nice, albeit secret, gift for a child overseas)

thank you!

I can't get the link to 2for1 for ideal Xmas to work.. Just takes me to generic ideal home with no mention of Xmas or the 2for1

Toblerone thanks for looking

Unicorn Cloud Pet it's an interactive record messages with an app cuddly toy thing. It's only £5.99, so figured worth a try, although I did get the Cat for DD.

I am looking for the elf on the shelf book cheap if possible as i bought the elf online really cheap not wanting to pay the full price online for the box

Tiggles Great idea!!! Just checked online and unicorn is 2.5kg and 2" bigger than my bear so I have about 8KG of spare stuffing!!

I suppose I will just have to buy more animals to stuff, AliExpress had hundreds to choose from!!

Unless anyone wants some stuffing?

What is this giant unicorn? X

Feelingsmurfy - I have found a mini ziggy duck on this site here. Never heard or used this site though - found it when searching.

Apologies. I didn't mean to put a kiss on the end. Sleep deprivation

Ds asking for dinotrux I think he'd like them but they're v expensive , if anyone sees any discounts let me know

We're really tempted to go for the Christmas pudding samples.

My local tesco this morning had loads of Disney princess dolls (barbie sized) buy one get one free... Can't see it on line but might be worth checking out your local store.

The improbable if Costco code is available yes please
