A rubbish thread title but, well, it's 19 now!

20 days until Christmas, I'm imagining us all wrapping late at night like little festive elves readying ourselves for how excited everyone will be with their bargainous presents.

Any referral links to go on this separate thread please

ohmyblob We have the microbit Go pack and it's really handy to have the battery pack. It makes it's easily portable and is worth the extra IMO.
It depends how it will be used really, if your DS already has a fair bit of kit then it may not be necessary.

sorry if this has been posted before but if you are looking for tickets for a show in London here's a code for 25% off The Little Matchgirl:

To get 25% off tickets for any performance quote pcdolt25 online, over the phone or at the box office.

27 March – 21 April 2018
Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare’s Globe

After a triumphant run in 2016, The Little Matchgirl and Other Happier Tales will once again have you crying with laughter and laughing through tears. For adults and brave children alike, expect music, puppetry, dark magic... and perhaps some modern truths that we would all rather remain hidden.

Did anyone order the Pact Coffee aeropress? I received the coffee a week or so ago but no sign of the aeropress!

motherofluvlies · 08/12/2017 10:33

Can’t find either of those deals on amazon...how do I find them please?

IWishYouWere · 08/12/2017 10:38

Expoding kittens £14.99 deal of the day Amazon

motherofluvlies · 08/12/2017 10:38

Ah just the set not the camera ..I misread

motherofluvlies · 08/12/2017 10:42

Oh my goodness could anyone explain the difference in the cameras ...eg 9shots etc? And which is the best value as they seem very expensive!

AdamBarlowsQuiff · 08/12/2017 10:50

@reindeerpoop I got my coffee and aeropress from Pact about a week apart. They did send an email to explain they had a delay from supplier though.

BlackandWhitepostcards · 08/12/2017 10:56

Ah I normally keep up with these threads from September onwards. I posted a couple of times last month and just lost track. I haven't bought anything whatsoever for the dc 😱
Dd2 has asked for bloody fingerlings and lol surprise dolls which I cannot get anywhere. The last thread I was on everyone was in the same boat, has there been any joy with these toys since? Unfortunately I don't live near any toy shops or big supermarkets where I can keep going in and badgering staff. But family members do so I can send them if the toys are likely to be in any stores. I am even contemplating buying the big £60 lol ball as I've seen a couple of them around but I remember reading a few threads ago that they were really poor value for money.
Any advice much appreciated!

motherofluvlies · 08/12/2017 11:01

Just ordered the letter sealing kit .tx u AgnesBrownsCat

BeaLola · 08/12/2017 11:10

thank you DoubleR - will try Aldi but probably too late as they look like they were out early Nov

spellingstress · 08/12/2017 11:12

Is the Exploding kittens in the Amazon deal today, the explicit version?! 🙈

WheresMrMonkey · 08/12/2017 11:16

After some help please... what do 11 year old boys like? I have no idea!! It's my cousins boy and we don't know them but send a token gift at Christmas, I've sorted the younger ones but no idea for older

gingerbreadmam · 08/12/2017 11:24

Subway mrmonkey?

craftymadam · 08/12/2017 11:31

Has anyone seen any Fingerlings in stock anywhere? I wish I'd acted earlier!!

hashtagelfie · 08/12/2017 12:00

Lottie doll Finn (the boy!!) £10.95

I am done for Christmas. Really really done. If I buy one more present for one dc then I have to buy all the dc another present to make it even (big family problems!)

And so I have just ordered my first present for Christmas 2018 Xmas Blush

tulipz · 08/12/2017 12:04

Has anyone seen a baby doll boy that doesn't cost a fortune? Just seen the Lottie doll Finn, but my son wants a baby doll. Also still looking for recommendations for books for an 11 year old girl, but not the fantasy genre. Thanks so much.

By the way, Argos has a Christmas sale on!

Ilisten2thesoundofdrums · 08/12/2017 12:12

I have a voucher from Naked wine for 60off a case of wine making 12 bottles £48. I buy from there anyway and the wine is good.

I think it might be generic as it came in a parcel with a gift. Code GTDC17 PASSWORD ASP32XYN

CarrotVan · 08/12/2017 12:19

Drum roll please...

My free gift from Great British Food arrived safely! No sign of the magazine but who cares about that

Theonlyoneiknow · 08/12/2017 12:25

Hi, just wondering if anyone has a globe they would recommend? DS has asked for the Earth Globe but some of the interactive ones look better? Thanks!

hashtagelfie · 08/12/2017 12:34

Tulipz

boy baby £12
baby Annabelle brother £17.99
talking baby doll £7.49

As for books, my daughter is a little older but she's really enjoyed the pretty little liars series on Netflix and has asked for the books. Otherwise David walliams was popular when she was 11. And Enid Blyton's Mallory Towers series

lookingforbaubles · 08/12/2017 12:37
