[Reastie]

Welcome one and all, see post two for links.

Any referral links to go on this separate thread please

Iwannasnack & RoaringForties thank you both
so much.Have added both to the list of ones to check out when i can get on the laptop.

I know how we all feel about IWOOT, but they have a flash sale on until midnight tonight on some of their lines 20% off with discount code XMAS and free delivery over £10.

Right I have a challenge here for you ... 13 yo DS needs a new onesie and when I joked about it having to have ears and a tail he said "go on then, buy me the funniest one you can find!"

So folks, do your best

luckiest - who was the seller of the fake fingerling? Was it sold by Amazon or a third party seller? I'm another one with one on pre-order from amazon and getting worried now

Placemarking. Could someone please link to the marble run on amazon as I can't find it at that price. Thanks

Fatface have baboons and walruses on just now SpecialAgent

The baboon one doesn't have a tail but it does have a red butt Baboon

Special This is cute from m&s (and the upcoming 20% off will be handy).

Wilcos £10 blox sets (their version of lego) were all reduced to £7.50 when I went in store today

Is there anyone here who knows about stunt scooters and would be kind enough to offer some advice?
Ds7 has decided he would like a stunt scooter after attending a skate park party. It needs to not have pegs (as apparently they're not allowed on the park). I thought I had finished his presents so didn't want to spend a huge amount on one so I ordered a stunted urban xt from very for about £50.

It arrived today but I think it's going to be too heavy, I wanted sturdy but this thing really weights a ton! He doesn't ask for much so I would really like him to be pleased so am now thinking about a MGP VX7 mini but the cheapest I can find it is £99 with a £5 off voucher at skatehut.

Does anyone have any advice as to if it's worth the extra money, or a cheaper on par version, or of course, a more barganious way of getting it?

haha love the baboon one , the red butt makes it (although it does only go up to age 12-13 so will have to check out the size instore)

Galt marble run has gone backup to £10.99 sadly . i should have pounced earlier.. !!

Thanks autocat for the heads up about the Marble Run. I saw your post on my lunch break and quickly bought it. It had been on my wish list and absolute bargain at that price.

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual would love an M&S code but the app won’t let me pm

Somebody mentioned Sam Stern cookbooks on an earlier thread good for students and teenagers. Just bought this one for £2 on Amazon!

@specialagentdalecooper I saw the most ridiculous onesie in primark today - in the ladies section, it was super bright colour with shiny legs and even 'shells' on the chest! £14 I think. It was ridiculous, maybe too ridiculous for a joke gift but majestic in a way too 😂 They also had fluffy unicorn ones, deer ones and many, many others in the ladies section so I'm presuming you'd get loads of novelty ones in the men's section too.
I found a pic online, I'll add it

Just been in sainsburys and there were a good few board games half price. Junior monopoly and cluedo for £5, buckaroo and kerplunk for £8.50, money off mousetrap and some thumb game (?) and pieface double as well, not sure they were all half price but I think so.

I got kerplunk! Blast from the past.

Several threads ago someone was after sprout items for their DS - just seen this sprout tshirt at Asda £4-£6 depending on size

I would also love an M&S discount code but can't pm from the app.

My amazon pink fingerlings is genuine. The amazon ones which keep coming up for preorder at £14.99 should be fine. That's what mine was.

I'm looking for a big beautiful non-fiction book for DD (nearly 11) who likes to know stuff (but is a bit vague!). Not a straight encyclopedia I don't think though. She will spend ages trawling through big books with loads of info. DS has the Minecraft Blockopedia which is visually pretty cool so wanted something similar, a bit unusual. She's had the Harry Potter vault books in the past. Any recommendations?

Also, on the subject of books, can I recommend wordery? Quite often they beat Amazon and Book People on price, free delivery and NOV10 (I think) gets 10% off your second book (I ordered 6 books and it seemed to take the discount off more than one of them. I've been impressed with them.

Quidco have got a £2.50 cashback bonus on all spend over £5 (you need to activate the offer here www.quidco.com/incentives/november-black-friday-bonus-number-2/ first). It expires Wednesday 23.59.
So for all our bargains don't forget to click through Quidco :)

IHeartkingthistle Have you looked at the What on earth Books? They fold out like wall planners and come with a little magnifying glass. I've recommend them on here before for a wide range of ages, we love them.

Also try code magicxmas for free delivery on sets of 3 or more.

I have a trillion M&S codes. Shall I just put a few on here? Each can be used three times online and multiple times in store.

Also I bought a fingerling from The Finger Minkey which I think was linked in an earlier thread. It’s deffo fake. They have said I can send it back for a refund but haven’t said whether they will stump up for postage costs. It said ‘wowwee’ on the web blurb but have accepted that it’s nothing of the kind . Really boring.
