Welcome one and all, see post two for links

What's the lol doll surprise set in Smyths? I can't see it

Lol dolls big surprise - there's videos on YouTube - my dd will be ecstatic with this!

It's not online yet just in the catalogue - the guy on the phone couldn't tell me when they will be in stores. I neeeeed this!

OH MY GOD
I need two of them! Fingers crossed Argos or very get them so I can stick them on my card

@Llamacorn OMG, I NEED that for my dd, she will lose her mind 😆

For those in Ireland, PhotoBox has a good offer today. 50% off orders over €50 with code IE50SAVE50 and 30% off orders over €30 with code IE30SAVE30

Question from a Smyths newbie - why so secretive about their sales? I'd have thought they'd want as many people there as poss?

How much notice do you usually get, do they email if you're on their list? Don't want to go there on Fri for no reason!

I think they'll sell out pretty fast - I really hope we can all get our hands on one! (Or 2! @girlwiththeyellowhat)
Just done a little homework... they contain

10 accessory balls
5 fizz charm balls
2 big sister dolls
2 lil sister dolls

And the super cute packaging 😍

honestly it's for dd, not me, oh no

I've got two girls lama. Neither are for me
Hopefully they'll be available to preorder.

I sat and watched the YouTube video with my earphones on!!

@ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual they usually advertise a day before around 8pm on TV, then social media. I think their secretive so they don't lose any full price sales in the run up

Really hoping the Smyths sale is on I have a lost for some stuff for DDs birthday and bits for Christmas

Just saw this on Facebook re: the 20% off...

Snapfish has 40% off until the end of September with this code HOME917

I've just bought a remote control Scoop from Bob the Builder for £16.99 in Argos. I think Toys r Us are selling it for £54.99!!

@girlwiththeyellowhat - sorry I hope that last post of mine didn't sound rude! I just really hope you manage to get them for your girls too, I feel for you needing 2! I have 3 girls but luckily only my youngest in into toys. (Or not luckily as the older 2 are more into tech 😭)
Hopefully smyths will let us prep-order, that's a good shout!

Thank you fancy!

Do John Lewis ever do discount codes? I'm after a very non bargainatious Mont Blanc wallet, and at £245 a 10% discount code would go down very well..

No not cheeky at all! I know I would have loved lol dolls when I was younger. Might like their Facebook page and see if they have a date for release

@JesusDontWantMeForASunbeam what fab parents you are! I would love to see Liam live! I'm sure however you do it, he will be blown away!

Just had an e-mail from Clintons pots of dreams money boxes on sale was £10 now £5.99. All different designs

With all this Smyths secrecy, they've got me checking their social media and here daily, I just really want to know for sure so I can make plans! I'll probably go down there Friday anyway just in case

With Smyths again, I've just seen this posted on FB? I still can't work out if they're doing a sale but just trying to throw everyone off!

Not sure if anyone has posted this, but couldn't see it. There are a couple of the big happy land sets half price on elc

Should have said it's not just happyland - there's a table football half price, couple of baby toys and games that might be good for the present cupboards.

Smyths on facebook last year said there was no sale but there was!
I am holding off.
I want track master stuff, a singing Peppa pig, the leapfrog till and some Melissa and Doug stuff.
