Lala DD has been playing labyrinth since before she was 5 but didn't really have the planning foresight the game is meant to have at that age. She did really like junior monopoly, various orchard games like tummy ache and shopping list. She likes hungry hippos and elefun but only gets them out once in a blue moon. She likes kerplunk and rumble in the jungle (although the latter is a pita to set up) and shh don't wake up dad is good and it's quite short too. Kids charades is good too and some of them have pictures on for those who can't yet read (I still laugh when DD was 4 and rolled herself in a ball with her finger pointing up coming out of the ball. We couldn't work out what she was and it turned out she was being an apple. How could we not get that?!).

I keep missing bargain! I think I used up all my bargain luck for the year by getting a a Sleepyhead Delux for 39 pounds from Amazon instead of 110

In terms of family games my 5 year old loves UNO and The Game of Life.

Grr I have paid full price for a Hype bag I had multiple windows open and there was a paypal delay and they must have efficiently merged my shopping bags when I wasn't looking

Destination Animation is a really fantastic game especially for any pixar fan. The idea you win by making your own zoetrope is supremely cool

I just tried to order a hype pencil case but the code no longer works. Ah well I have 2 bags on the way so can't really complain

I need a couple of bargainous ideas - I'm totally at a loss!

13 year old girl - loves books, drama, music, not too worldly-wise so no make up or anything like that. Lives in the US so not bothered about British brands etc, and whatever I buy has to be posted so nothing too big or heavy. I already have a nomination charm for her bracelet and I could get another one of those too, but I want something else for her to open. Budget between £8-£23 depending on whether I buy one charm or two! Was thinking a game maybe but would have to be smallish to be posted.

Then a 6 year old girl - budget £20 - also in the US so things have to be posted. I have two 6 year old girls myself and all I can think of are the things I wouldn't want them to receive - like bloody craft sets or art books! I have already bought some early reader books because that was what she had asked for but I still have about half my budget to go and no ideas!

I managed to get a pencil case from hype last night but the bags i wanted were going in at full price. Today they are going in the basket at £10 but the code won't work
Oh well, they accidentally put my pencil case order through twice, refunded one and told me to keep both so can't really complain

Saw this on hot uk deals earlier

m and s hand cream gift set

£15 down from £35

Wine and chocolate ... the bargains have been great, pictures of unicorns in washing machines fab but news of a wineapple has just made my day hell no my year !

panther can you order from a US site that does gift wrapping to make life easier in terms of postage/ customs?

panther for the 13 yo how about:
-A pencil case with pens and rubbers etc. Could try Smiggle as they are funky/cool and not in the Us.
-Gloves/socks from Accessorize
-If she likes books try the Literary Gift Co.

6 y o:
-A light weight game like uno or pass the pigs?
-Aqua beads- craft but not messy!

ShineOn thanks for the walkie talkie link. Santa buys my dc's 4 and 9 a joint pressie each year and I'm planning walkie talkies for this year. Would they be suitable for the 4yo to use?

I'd forgotten about Smiggle! That would be a good call for 6 year old for sure! Thank you! I think Paperchase would be more 13year old's style but they have a v.similar store near them called paper source which is actually think is better!

Games for 6 year old are tricky as she is the youngest of 4 so they have most decent games already. I was wondering about Scattergories for 13year old (I bought a £5 copy last week) but not sure who she could play it with as she is the eldest. It's years since I've played it and thinking it might be too hard for the 11 year old sibling. (And I know def too hard for 7&6 year old!)

FBR815 gets you free delivery at baker Ross. Great if you only want a few bits.

panther There's a sticker subscription in US called Pipsticks. I get the kids club one and my kids LOVE it. Pipsticks are on FB and Instagram if you want to see previous packs.

Ooh thanks Moosey - I'll go and have a look now!

Not all Sparks accounts have the same offers but it's worth a look.
