Thread 19 - loling with our fingerlings

[Reastie]

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

Does anyone happen to know of a code for White Stuff? There's 20% off partywear at the moment but I'm just after boring basics to hide my new saggy stomach

Agh, thought I was done and two people have asked for ideas for DD (8). I struggled to think of things for us to get her!!Any ideas? Budget £25-35.

Wilko has reduced their giant soft toys (80cm) from £40 to £15. There is a lion, elephant and monkey. Perfect friends for Robert...?

a skate board or skates and knee and elbow pads
A keyboard and music books (my 8yo would choose Taylor swift )

Ooh great ideas thanks!

Has anyone seen a hoodie with a galaxy print anywhere?

DS is obsessed with this hoodie, he’d put it in his wish list ages ago and I saw it was prime so thought there was no rush to order it..... except it’s only prime of certain sizes and colours and the others won’t arrive until the end of January!!

I’m getting desperate.

I need it in a size 11-12.
It doesn’t have to be exactly the same but it needs to be galaxy and purple/blue.

Help me mumsnet, you are my only hope.

MY photo didn’t attach for some reason.

This is the one he has his heart set on.

This any good for the hoody? Not cheap!

Lego cards sent out today to the following people, sorry it's taken so long but it was a combination of everyone in the house being ill one after the other with a bug brought home from nursery plus an unexpected big bill to pay out leaving me short. I've posted them first class today

Thank you Margarita but that one isn’t any good, the same one is on Amazon (cheaper) but DS doesn’t like that design,
He’s adamant is has to be mostly navy and purple.

I don’t mind the price though.

I’ve found another one on amazon but it’s only available in size 13-14,
Dh thinks that will be way too big though.

Has anyone seen any bargainous sheepskin slippers? Looking for my mum. Aldi had some advertised but when I went they'd only had 3 pairs delivered to the store! Surpsingly all sold out.

WeAreEternal - I would get the bigger one. At least he will have what he wants. Unless you tend to be very smart as a family I can´t see it mattering (says someone whose kids are into the third year of their Gap cosy hoodies )

This one is in stock for that size

Smyths has Slime factory back in stock for delivery!

www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/creativity-music-and-partyware/other-arts-and-creativity/slime-factory/p/161150

It’s in stock but it’s not prime and says it won’t be delivered until 10-19th Jan, so no good unfortunately.

DS is only 11, it wouldn’t bother me if it was a bit baggy but wont a size 13-14 absolutely drown him?

Sepsis I get dh sheepskin slippers from amazon for about £15-25. They last as long as the £40-60 pairs I've got him

Any recommendations for

Hat and or scarf for female teen visiting from abroad. Decent but not too expensive. Can arrive a little after Christmas.

Slippers for a dyspraxic 10 year old boy. Must be non slip, easy to pop on and off and not flippy floppy on his feet

Size 3-4 adult sizes

@Toffeelatteplease matalan have boot slippers which ds finds v easy.

Matalan are out of stock in his size , not sure about the soles either. It was a good suggestions though If I actually get to a store in person I will check them out.

Do you have a link for the Amazon slippers please Reastie?

Might also work for me

I'd go bigger on the hoodie. My dd is 9 and despite being slim she's tall so often wears adult size 4 clothing. She prefers the fit of tshirts and hoodies as they are longer than childrens sizes. Do they do it adult sizes maybe an xs or s might work?
