Thread 5 - my dog ate the elf on Xmas eve

[Reastie]

Thought I’d do a ‘how to’ for a couple of things people often post about not being sure of

To do click links you do this put link in here then a space then the name or phrase you want to go with the link . Don’t put a space between the start of the link and the and then last word and the like I have or it won’t work but I had to to demonstrate.

Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me k ow if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it

Best bargainous gift for 5yo girl? Tenner... please please some ideas...

Thanks for the link to the oil pastels Singingitoverandoverandover - ordered a set for me to experiment with!

@ja9r doh vinci I gifted a set of this stuff to a five year old girl and she absolutely loved it. There’s lots of heavily reduced sets there, you could get a couple for a tenner.(also some reduced playdoh on that link at the entertainer)

Anyone else found the Next preview of the sale a bit rubbish?

Flash 20% off everything at Trunki with code FLASH20

Maybe useful when buying for kids that have everything! Unicorns/gruffalo/Paddington/dinosaur designs (and loads more)

Ends 25th sep

honeydragon yes me. Had a list of what I wanted from preview and got my vip slot and it was all gone anyway. Not impressed. I’m not braving the Sale in store either. Gets a bit wild

Checking in

Just did a Smyths online order to save having to trek down to the store tomorrow to pick up my Luna Pomsie pre-order. Got some decent bargains I think...

The sloth you mention is great for the price Amon, soft cuddly and a great size

Apologies if previously mentioned but Tesco has some Lego sets at 1/3 off. Tangled, Ariel were ones I spotted in store plus a couple of others. They aren't in the toy aisle though strangely but upstairs with home ware in my store

Matalan don't have Adler hey PJ's in stores in my local. On line only but mostly sold out.

What's a Luna pomsie and what age is it aimed at?

Sorry reastie, thanks for the new thread

cheekyfucker for using up the old thread

Morning. I'm looking for any recommendations (hopefully still a bargain) for DD 14 who is massively into k-pop. I'd be grateful for stocking fillers or bigger ideas. Thanks!

@bertdynamite if she extends her k-pop love to other Korean pop culture then Superdrug do some K-Beauty stuff and there’s always Kawaii

Thanks CarrotVan - will start my search there.

Just a note to say keep an eye on emails. I’ve had amazon cancel 2 orders recently ages after I’d ordered them including a barbie id ordered for dd.

Have I missed the annual 20%off everything in smyths? Vague memory of it being mid sept...

Groupon currently have small worry monsters for £3 plus £2p&p. They seem to be going quickly though!

anonpotomous the Meme game looks fab for a teenager. Thanks.

ja9r rumour has it a Smyths deal will start on Tuesday 25th.

My neice wants an 'Our Generation' doll - will the 20% at Smyths be the best deal or are there likely to be better offers?

Glad to hear the sloth plush was a good choice Albus - I should be sworn off cuddly toys for my children by now but surely just one more can't hurt

Frugaleer Apparently Pomsies are like fingerlings for the wrist. Interactive cute little furballs with a wrap around tail. The unicorn one is only available from Smyths.

Simplyput that's what I thought, I got it for my teenage daughter but wish I'd got a couple more now for the other teenagers in the family.

LokiBear would definitely say yes to getting the OG doll from Smyths during the promotion. Their offer may be £10 off £50 instead of 20% off though so you'd need to up the spend to get the offer. They sell lots of other OG things at decent prices too.
