REASTIE! We're over over here! Bargain holding thread

[FireflyGirl]

Chatty bargain hunters today, so here's a holding thread until Reastie finishes work

Just to top up on Layla's deal you can go through TopCashback and get 8% cashback

The Thorntons code is VCUK20

To take advantage of the Thorntons 5 for £20 deal you have to enter a code - problem is once Ive done that the code box is gone so I cant enter the next code. Am I missing something?

Same happened to me breakfast

Oh chuffing nora! Now I need presents for twin 6yo boys, ideally under £15 for both. All I can think of are those 'see inside' lift-the-flap books from Usborne. Is that a pants idea? Help!!

I've just found a brilliant website that helps you find which stores have stock in. I've been looking for a Hatchimal and managed to bag one thanks to this site!

REASTIE the website I posted might be a good thing to pop on The List for the next thread.

I think lift the flap might be a bit young for 6?

I'm thinking of getting DH an Amazon Echo for christmas. Any idea if this will go into Black Friday sales?

Gerrard I would say lift the flap books are a bit young for 6 year olds. My dd's adore busy books (hardback story with playmat and 12 mini figures) normally around £5 in Tkmaxx or supermarkets. You can get various Disney ones, from films (ice age) or superheroes :)

Otherwise loads in 2 for £15 at argos. From my experience boys of that age like superheroes and anything toilet humor related :)

Gerrard how about something like a torch?
Star Wars ones for £6-49.

Teen Titans figures £7 each.

Papercraft robots if they like making things?

I disagree actually (As a former Usborne seller). The see inside books are very definitely aimed at 6yos and above. They're information books with lots of small flaps, not the sort you're thinking of for preschoolers etc.

There is a great variety of them and if the family appreciate books, then go for it.

I just got DS a Mickey Mouse clubhouse Oral B rechargeable toothbrush that plays a tune for £14.99 RRP £34.99 from Savers.
I know I post a lot of bargain toothbrushes but my excuse is I'm a dentist

They had those Usbourne lift the flap books for £5 in the works today. They had a dinosaur one and a science one. I think they would be great for 6 year olds. We have the human body one and DS loves it at 4. We read it together.

my 3.5 yo loves his Usborne The Body book...

For 6 yo how about haynes build your own

or

Haynes first tech

or there's loads of stuff in the B&M 2 for £20 sale such as science kits, remote control vehicles etc

or the Wilkos fake lego sets

My six year old loves the usborne See Inside...books. Not too young for him - the see inside maths one is more my eight year old's level.

I've signed up for weekend box club via Top Cash Back. It cost me £1 for their mega box (rrp £7.50) but £1.76 cash back. You can get the small box (rrp £4.95) for free with the cash back. Plus you can cancel really easily.

I'm assuming it's like the Mister Maker/ Toucan Box stuff so might be nice to have for stocking fillers or some activities over Christmas.

Boden have 20% off kids clothes plus free delivery/returns until end of tomorrow, Sunday, may be useful for sparkly tights etc?

Argh just wrote a message and lost it, here we go again

We have had the degustabox before and I wouldn't really think of hamper, it's just normal groceries. Not every box has something sweet or alcohol in, some boxes are more of a hit than others.

If you do go for it then cancel after the first box and you might get a code in future for a discounted box, I've just had one for £4.99 box with extra item in it, I've gone for it because that's about what it's worth for me. Anything we won't use I put in foodbank box (things like bbq sauce, none of us like it but it could be good to add flavour to bland meals or get a child to eat stuff they wouldn't normally)

Someone in an earlier thread was making personalised giant selection boxes. There were a couple of people requested ideas for big, shallow boxes. I picked up this one today in Iidl that is a good size and depth. It had mushroom boxes in it.

My £2.97 bargain elf on the shelf arrived today from china, link is in a previous thread, he is amazing! Looks just like the proper Ones, very cute. I'm very pleased. He took six weeks to arrive.
Never heard of elf in the shelf before but my 8 year old wants to do it for my younger 2 this year.

Hi, has anyone got a promo code for Hush Puppies please?
