Checking in! If anyone sees any barginous Pokemon stuff I'd love to know about it DS1 is obsessed and the cards etc are so expensive. I have got a few soft toys from eBay but that it so far.

Thank you for the hatchimal link - it is something my dd has asked for since last Christmas.... so now I'm a bit confused - is the glittering garden range new?

Strawberry Primark has Pokémon t shirts and socks.
I think the t shirts are around £4 & socks (set of 3) £3.

Foof I only size up one and haven't had a problem.

Thanks for the nerf guns. I'd been thinking about getting one for my friend's ds.

DD is currently obsessed with the film 'Sing' so if anyone sees any merchandise I'd love to know.

Strawberry if your ds is like mine and only going to use them for looking at/playing his own games with then aliexpress has loads of cheaper (unofficial) Pokemon stuff

coffee set at M&S reduced to a fiver

There's two different Christmas threads going? Which one is THE Christmas thread

This is the current one as thread one is full, and we wait fir reastie to set up the new one

hairy Amazon keep dropping the price of the new glittering garden hatchimals (same as the original just with glitter strands in the fur) to around £47

Anyone got any recommendations for Christmas present ideas for what will be a 5 month old please? Her birthday is late July so trying to think of things that she'll grow into between Christmas and her birthday. My parents are buying us a jumparoo and she's got tons of clothes so definitely doesn't need more!!

Thanks Julie!

Clara this was the first toy that DS played with as he could hold it easily. I'd definitely recommend it for every baby. He was also given a giraffe comforter for his first Xmas at that age, he loved it for a few months. Around 6 months is when they start with basic stacking rings, blocks and shape sorters. They'll then start using walkers between 6-12 months and first word style board books, this range is excellent.

Anybody got some good deals on adults presents? I'm done with the kids mainly.

Primark currently have some amazing Harry Potter bits if anyone has a Potter fan

Bedding, cushions, clothes, bags...I could've gone nuts in there!

Is Aliexpress legit?

I can't say have heard of it before

Allhallowseve I've just had tags from your second Aliexpress link delivered - great minds think alike. They are lovely and great quality, really thick.

FoofFighter Aliexpress is very legit. It's part of the Alibaba group (3rd largest e-commence company apparently). I've been using them for 3 years and almost always been pleased with items I've received. If I've not been happy or items have not turned up (not very often) they have always sort out a refund very quickly.

Second primark with the Harry potter range. I got a pair of PJ's for myself there the other day and found they have come up smaller then primark normally does though. Would recommend going a size up.
