I recommended Nikko remote control car, it actually works, unlike most, has a rechargable battery and works with 3 yr olds up to adult, rain, snow, rough ground. Lots of fun. Two sizes available £30 and £60, amazon is selling the £30 for £23.69. Comes in two frequencies if you need more than one. This seems to be the standard amount of discount, Argos probably have them in the 3 for 2, John lewis sell them.

Hi all, joining again for another year, I've been catching up on tales of Roberts, razors and rucksacks. Sounds good!

I've been on these threads for a few years and it seems to be busier than ever. I'm sure loads of amazing bargains are just waiting to be discovered!

I'm on the lookout for playmobil (mainly pirates, it was all about knights last year) and star wars toys for 5 year old and a big bike with gears and general football stuff for 8 year old.

I know Halfords have 10% of bikes at the moment but hoping for a bigger reduction/offer, do Halfords do black Friday? Hmm...

I've just received my occitane advent calendar

Looks really good and £42 for products worth £80

Does anyone know what I can get for a 13 year old boy? budget about £20-30 Going through a tough time ( his mum has been diagnosed with cancer Sad ) I really want to find him something amazing for Christmas.

stealthsquiggle · 14/10/2016 12:17

Piepie there was an extremely good price on a Playmobil pirate ship either on this thread or the last one.

Apparently DD's Argos "Robert" is homesick and misses her mum. Sigh. Does anyone know if ToysRUs Robert is still in stock anywhere?

SitsOnFence Wilkos do Pokemon decks with about 60 cards for £10
www.wilko.com/games+jigsaws/pokemon-theme-deck/invt/0427422

Or Argos do decks that come in a cool tin for about £14. Dd2 is obsessed with Pokemon cards, they have been banned at her school though after kids were getting upset about 'bad swaps' Hmm

heymammy · 14/10/2016 12:22

glad what about some VR glasses for teen boy. You can get a set on Amazon for around £20, very trendy at the moment and nice and techy for not much money Smile

mammyaroundmadness · 14/10/2016 12:22

Thank you so much neddle and Moosey Moo some amazing sets you have kindly suggested my daughter will adore them all especially the rollercoaster. Will keep an eye out on camelcamelcamel see if they drop :-) Havent seen Elves ones before will have a look :-)

Thank you so much for your recommendations

Hi everyone,

Boots have given us an exclusive offer of 10% off orders over £75 with code MUM75. Hope some of you can use it to treat yourself to the No7 boxes, they look great.

The Entertainer also have a Paw Patrol play dough set down to £10 which looks quite nice for younger DCs.

Very jealous of your L'Occitane calendar gladisgood, I love their products. The price is actually quite reasonable so might have to treat myself!

ShmooBooMoo · 14/10/2016 12:26

Also, glad batteries are included. Argos is selling the car ^ for £99.99. I think it's lovely of you to want to cheer the lad up. Comes in a swish box too.

Ps. Others might be interested in the car too Smile

gladisgood · 14/10/2016 13:07

ooh thanks for those ideas. Grin The car will be perfect for my foster boy ( similar age) I actually got the 13yo a bargain RC truck from JL last year ! I will look into VR glasses for him. Thank you Flowers

MrsCrimbo74 · 14/10/2016 13:09

V Tech Paw Patrol Pups to the Rescue Was £22 now £16.50 at Wilkos or £17.49 plus free delivery at Amazon

BeBesideTheSea · 14/10/2016 13:11

Schmoo I am v tempted by that car. But think DS probably needs something more robust. I remember when I got one as I child I liked to make off road courses for it. So, anyone seen a bargain 4x4 type remote control car?

WhenIGrowUpIWantToBeAPenguin · 14/10/2016 13:17

BeBeside - how about a morphibian? Theyre brilliant, amphibious so drives on land and water. There's one on Lightning Deal on Amazon now for £16.48. One word or warning - it will absolutely eat through batteries!

ReluctantCamper · 14/10/2016 13:19

DS1 has announced that for Christmas he'd like a 'talking robot that can be his servant' Hmm.

He's 5, does anyone know of a robot toy they'd recommend for that age group?

zippys · 14/10/2016 13:21

Had anyone seen any deals on little pet live puppy snuggles? It's in the boots 3for 2 but out of stock! Angry

Balletgirlmum · 14/10/2016 13:33

I see the Zoella backpack is star gift in Boots.

My Neice will love it but I'm not sure it's worth £26. I certainly wouldn't pay £50 for it.

QueenOfFuckAll · 14/10/2016 13:38

The Playmobil pirate ship was boots and sold out very quickly.
