Hi all, figured it was time to hit this thread since my dc's have started their xmas lists and included are £100+ of Build a Bear items Shock
I'm praying someone can tell me there's a discount code available or likely to be one soon. I've signed up to the mailing list but had no luck in my search for a code so far.
Thanks for the threads so far, I'm off to scour them SmileFlowers

Checking in. Thanks for the new thread Reastie and thank you for the bargain ideas ladies Smile.

Admiral that is very sweet.

Flop that is very good advice. My dh actively enjoys setting up playmobil and he and dd were nice and quiet for quite a while for Christmas a few years ago setting up the school, so for us it's given in boxes. I, however, am rubbish at these things and just can't do it!

Ordered Pokemon lot 144 and they haven't arrived :( I have to open a PayPal claim as seller is not responding to anything. Gutted. Really wanted them for an advent calendar but won't be refunded for 11 days. Did anyone find a UK seller?

admiral that's lovely. I am grateful DS1 is only asking for 1 thing from Santa!

Balletgirlmum · 06/11/2016 21:05

I've had a couple of requests from dd today.

One is for Lancombe Tresor perfume which isn't going to be al all bargainous.

Too soon! I think I'm going to need your help!

DD saw harry potter character vault book in costco and asked for it, have checked and its less than half price £10 on amazon link

yumyumpoppycat · 06/11/2016 21:39

PS I am not sure how much it was in costco as was ignoring her cheeky but sensible suggestion I buy it there and save it for christmas !

Help oh wise ones. I have a 10 year old boy to buy a birthday present for. It's one of ds's best friends - have ordered him something for £5 so happy to spend another £15 or so. He likes Pokemon and football. Last year I got him stuff from his favourite team, he has a lot of the Pokemon tins etc already. Ds is zero use...

FlopIsMyParentingGuru · 06/11/2016 22:04

reastie I'll be sad when the DC grow out of playmobil. A glass of wine, Christmas sentimentalism on the radio or TV and playmobil construction and I'm happy!

I've just discovered a set of famous five books for adults on amazon. The titles are "five give up the booze" "five go on a strategy away day" and "five on Brexit island". Only £3.49 each, might be a good sticking filler for someone who loved the original series!

unicornsarenotjustforchristmas · 06/11/2016 22:07

admiral I hope that whatever you do you do not buy your dd a mr frosty! Just so in 20years time she can moan how she always asked for one but never got it just like me and everyone else I know

Trudee · 06/11/2016 22:20

That's great thanks woodwaj Flowers

AdmiralCLingus · 06/11/2016 22:20

I most definitely will not be buying one!! Have you seen the price of that smug bastard?! (I never got one as a kid either! Did ANYONE actually own one?!)

ElzBelz · 06/11/2016 22:25

TomHaverford 40% is over online but on until tomorrow in store if you can get there the code is 309 and if you download the app and register you'll get another 5%

Thanks admiral I've ordered the famous five book on parenting for my friends birthday Smile

Haudyerwheesht · 06/11/2016 22:56

Jacket pack it lets are reduced to £6.66 here. Look good as a wee present?

Kerrierr · 06/11/2016 23:17

In need of a bargainous soft toy pikachu, as way over budget but my dd very excited about santa bringing her one!! Any suggestions?

neddle · 06/11/2016 23:18

There's a giant camel on a lightning deal atm. It's 73cm so that's what 30 inches - bigger than small child, surely?

neddle · 06/11/2016 23:18

Oops- it's £30 right now.

yumyumpoppycat · 06/11/2016 23:21

other things 10 year old boy might like, lego star wars (some good prices at argos esp if 3 for 2 ing), smiggle stuff (surprised but apparently even year 7 boys still like stationary!), books - new david walliams is out, bop it
