I have £10 off a £30 spend at Boden, needs to be used by the 18th, if anybody is interested

reindeer my ds has been a huge fan of dinosaurs for a few years now & he has loads of related items! He's got:

Duvet Set
Cuddly toys - build a bear do dinosaurs!
Pyjamas
Socks
Boxer shorts
T-shirts
Playmobil Sets
Lego sets
Craft sets / dino colouring books
Poster for bedroom wall - Poundshop!
Lunchbag & bottle

This love of dinosaurs has also developed into a love of sharks & sealife. Last year I bought him a documentry dvd of the Galapagos Islands & a toy whale shark. He played with & watched it daily for months & now it's on at least once a week. He's learnt loads about the Galapagos & I'm looking for another educational dvd & toy for this year.

shestood my dd has just turned 6. Some favourites here...
Gel pens and notebooks especially sequin or fluffy.
Build a bear.
Jojo bows.
Reversible sequins - t-shirts, notebooks, pillows.
Fleece blanket or mermaid tail blanket.
Fingerling.
Unicorn or cute animal things.
Shopkins in particular the dolls, they are releasing new ones that are like the old Polly pockets.
Disney figures or busy books, I normally buy a set with a new dvd and the book. Last year was moana.
Blind bags - I've got her Lego minifigure, pusheen plush in the past.
Nintendo 2ds with Mario kart, legend of Zelda and Nintendogs.
Amazon fire tablet.
Dressing up costume - she loves her moana dress from last year.
Jewellery - this year I'm buying her a personalised jewellery box with some little necklaces/bracelets from smiggle sale.
Beanie boo teddies.
Snow globes and photo frames with family pics in.
Books - she loves mog, sue hendra, Nick sharrett, Tony Ross, or any involving cake or cats 😂
Games - soggy soggy, junior monopoly, junior game of life, payday, pass the pigs, top trumps, bugs in the kitchen.

This year so far I've bought her the enchantimals house and dolls, shopkins, dc superhero dolls, currently looking at the rainbocorn as its a unicorn, reversible sequins, blind box, fluffy and cuddly. Everything she loves 😂

Harry and the Dinosaurs Collection is at the Book People and you can get an extra 15% off at the moment with BONUS15. If you use the code it makes it just over £1 a book which is a great deal.

My DD is 6 and still loves the Harry books she has.

Colidilocks I'd love the code if it's available.

Stompy have sent you a PM

My dd has just ordered a poopsie unicorn everywhere else had it ore order for the 17th sept, but we’re picking it up from Argos on Sunday. She’s had some birthday money saved and I put the rest to it because shes had a tough year with operations - and another next week I’ll let you know what it’s like - but now I’m stumped for her Xmas as that was the only idea I had!!

@girlwiththeyellowhat I haven’t seen a prism like that, but my dd like the baby secrets pets and uses the pram from that for her Lol dolls, and the Sylvanian sets are a fab size for lol dolls - the bunk beds and the buggy are some of her faves to play with the lol little sisters.

Seen on another web page Barry M bargains at Argos

Boots currently have two different sets of Real Techniques make up brushes on offer for £10. I've picked one up for a gift.

Thanks for the link tot he Revolution sale, i picked up loads of stuff that will be divided up between a few different people ( and a few cheeky bits for myself!) Also picked up a few of the Boots 17 bits while they are in clearance.
