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

Welcome one and all, see post two for links

*Re Amazon Echo
*
I posted about that a few days ago. I got mine on Prime Day. Camelcamelcamel doesn't seem to track Prime-only prices so don't rely on getting an alert for it. I decided to opt for certainty and bought another one at £99.99 for a gift. Yes there might be a deal for Prime customers between now and Christmas but I don't think the standard price will be lower.

Looking for a basic fit bit. Think it's worth holding out for BF?

I just picked up a couple of book bargains from abebooks. I got a hardback copy of Father Christmas All About Me in very good condition for £2.80 and my childhood favourite story Sally's Secret new for £2.70. They're £24.99 and £6.99 elsewhere. You can also get over 5% back through Topcashback so great place to look for book bargains, just read the descriptions carefully as some books are used.

I paid £79.99 for an echo on some prime event a while ago. They may do one again?

Yo Kai watch medal set half price at toys r us here

I'm on the hunt for knex, we have a couple of sets but ds wants a box of bits so he can free build. Ones I've seen are pretty pricey.

Also if anyone comes across any dermalogica bargains I would be very grateful!

badders there is a build a bear outlet at Cheshire oaks, but not been in so don't know what the selection/ discounts are like.. might be worth googling to see if there are other branches

Sing it was the perfect score school outfit

Thank you

Thank you to the poster who mentioned to open a Very account for money off a mini micro scooter, I got £30 off a £60 spend so it only cost me £35, pretty much half price!

Glad you got sorted, Blizy!

Ness have their sale on - lots of things 40% off, and they always have free delivery!

The playmobil treehouse, is it the standard one or wildlife adventure one that might get reduced to £25? Just looking to set up the right alert on camelcamelcamel :)

A couple of discounts in a delivery I got this morning - Harry's razor subscription (similar to Cornerstone I think) £2.95 for a trial of razor and shave gel harrys.com/hut3
15% off Celtic & Co code W17HCA
No idea what either are like though!
There's a Build a Bear outlet at East Midlands Designer Outlet and they have some pretty good offers. If you sign up to their newsletter they send you 10% off vouchers via email for your birthday and sometimes at odd times through the year. A Dr Martens outlet shop has just opened at York Designer Outlet if anyone is looking for DMs this year

You're welcome 😁

Oooh I will sign up thanks

Does anyone have any marble run recommendations? Looking for a four year old. Thanks

Tigger it was this treehouse I got for £25. The adventure one with bears, foxes and wildlife rangers

Reindeer I'd be interested in recommendations too for DS who is 4 just after Christmas. I've heard good things about the Quadrilla range.

Oooh I'm looking at marble runs too, a joint present between ds1(6) and ds2(4) really
The galt ones get good reviews on Amazon but aren't cheap

Has anyone seen an unofficial giant surprise egg? I'd like to get my four one each but I'm not spending £40 on plastic eggs also not up for paper machéing my own I don't think I want the big one as it'll cost a fortune to fill but any suggestions welcome...

Peacocks have Elsa dresses in their sale. £9, ages 7-8 or 5-6 in the store I looked in

The Galt marble runs are great, DS1 was given one last year. I covet the quadrilla but just don't have the room

My local primary had the chip and Mrs Potts bags/purses on display! Managed to get a chip purse for dd1 s burthday. She will be 18- she loves beauty and the beast, I'm planning to get her azwatch but I'm building a wee beauty and the beast collection too, pjs, that beauty box from the thread, etc.

Her birthday is two days after Xmas so it counts as Xmas shopping to me!

Ooh and I think I just got my yearly £6.95 hotel chocolate tasting club letter as well...!
