Thread 4 - the one where the DC go back to school and things get serious

[Reastie]

Welcome one and all, see post two for links

Anyone know if the smiggle smelly pens deal is avaliable instore?

Ooh thanks @Highmaintenancefemalestuff and @Snooky17. Heading there now!

My Boswells box has arrived - everything beautifully wrapped. So well I can't quite remember what's in all the packages. Will have to investigate further tomorrow. So exciting, all this.

I've also got the Star Wars top trumps from amazon for just £6.99 and some kind of Star Wars nerf gun that was recommended earlier. Just romping through xmas shopping...!

Frustratingly heelies big enough to fit me rather than DD

JangleJangleJangle they were in my local Smiggle last week, the 3 for £5 deal was so good I bought loads for all upcoming parties.

I mean this week, there were there on Monday.

Fab! thanks nickdrake! I'm near one tomorrow so will grab some. While you're reading this can I ask if your dd was happy with the fake Ebay Shopkins not being in boxes or with leaflets showing their names? Thinking of buying a bunch to drop in 6yo dds stocking!

Also does anyone know if the banamrama game from the Entertainer is instore or just online?

Busy books are back at 2 for £9 in Tesco.

Place marking, the countdown begins now....

H&M 30% off kids is in store too. I didn't even realise as dashed in today to buy my son trousers post growth spurt and 20% automatically taken off at till

My son is hoping to get a fang cuddly toy from Harry Potter from the big man 🎅🏽 It's £30odd from the warner bros studio (local to me) but I'd rather not pay that. Has anyone seen one elsewhere?

Frustratingly, I was in a charity shop today and picked up an immaculate cuddly hedgewig from the warner bros shop with labels still attached for 99p. Of course I bought it even though it isn't fang 🙄

Sorry I meant 20%

Morning all

Advice needed please, dd has asked for a DS. I have had a quick look and there are a few different ones - any thoughts on which is best and of course any bargains to be had?

In case anyone is looking for inspiration for 5-8yo, we got Hot Wires last year for my (then) 7yo & 4yo. It's not played with daily but is taken off the shelf at least once a month and then played with for a few days & any visiting children love it. It's worth putting it into camelcamel as the price varies hugely.

Don't know how long it's been there but John Lewis have their Christmas section live online - it's on the homepage

cupoftea I read that as your dd wanted a baby brother then 😂

Minions Crackers £5

Bananagrams - I checked stock in my local shop and it said it would be available in 16 hours, so I assume you can order it in, like you can do in Argos.

Nintendo DS - My DC have the 2DS which plays all the DS games out there but just without the 3D effect. DD is eyeing the new 2DS XL but is dithering as she thinks it might be too big.

Rather annoyed, after weeks hollister have cancelled the bill of my order of body washes and lip glosses because they don't have the stock. I'd only ordered a few but I though with some sweets I had the 13 year olds friends sorted out.

That's annoying RJ 😠
I'm going to treat myself to the m and s advent calendar this year...out on Nov 9th
For those buying lush stuff...word is Xmas stock out Oct 5th
I keep adding bits to my amazon wish list....😁

I've had a look on build a bear. They have traditional bear in store for £5.50 or a different bear online for £10.50.

I'm just choosing outfits now

I thought the thread had gone quiet 🙈

cupofteap the last two years I think the best ds deals were getting the 2ds with an expensive game ready loaded on it, often the game that comes with it is a £30+ one. My kids have the 3ds and 2ds and the 2ds is easier to hold and hasn't needed repairing.

I know Not On The High Street is pretty overpriced, but sometimes it's good for gifts that are a bit different.

In case anyone's interested, I just got a voucher for 15% off when you spend £50 or more (valid until 10am Monday): WEEKENDGIFT

Hi, just ordered my first ever items from Aliexpress thanks for the info!! Does anyone know if the disney store usually have any good offers on between now and Christmas??
