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.

To follow the thread without using up a post to mark place you can click on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first post.

No affiliate links please.

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 Thanks

Owl I had a mermaid blanket made for DD two years ago and it was ££. Dsis got DN the one from Home Bargains and it's nicer!

IWishYouWere · 22/09/2018 22:09

Can anyone link to the Costco dolls house please and is it a one for Barbie's? Thanks

SheStoodInTheStorm · 22/09/2018 22:12

@LokiBear Wow! It is immense!! If we had the room I'd love it though my DD wasn't overly fussed...

@DaisyChops same here, my DD was more interested in the food samples 😂

NoWordForFluffy · 22/09/2018 22:15

No idea which one it is, but here are the Costco dollshouses.

Jfw82 · 22/09/2018 22:27

@saladfingers she might not be into make up
but perfume might work well or nicer end of costume jewellery (accessorize bits) ?

TheOwlandMe · 22/09/2018 22:27

You lot are amazing! Yes Bilibo that’s it and the people aren’t Oogis!!! Thank you.

So next question are they worth it?! For a 2 and 5 year old?

AlbusPercival · 22/09/2018 22:41

Theowlandme - we have 2. DS just about to turn 2. He plays with it most days. He spins in it, stands on it. His toys havevrides in it. It’s a dolls bath or a cot. I’m a teletubbies hill, tombliboo house.

Has anyone seen the any LOL surprise bedding for less than the Smyth's price? I know home bargains had some in but I had DD with me and whenever I have been back in they haven't had any. If you have one of the bedding sets, can you tell me if it's that horrible silky material, you know where the duvet just bunches up or if it's the nice normal stuff please. Thanks in advance.

My parents have asked for a Google Home Mini for Christmas.

They spotted it on offer at £39.99 and nearly got it for themselves, but decided to wait til the offer was over and then tell me to get it! Hmm

Palmer1983 · 23/09/2018 07:24

Home gin making kit Wink amzn.to/2NARold my sister would love this

lifelongfrugaleer · 23/09/2018 07:30

salad my dd and DS are the same age and I have no clue. It's their birthdays next month too.
Can I second that plea for help,/ideas?

PinkSquash · 23/09/2018 07:57

Thank you @imsorryiasked the one you linked is perfect Flowers

PinkSquash · 23/09/2018 07:59

@Batbear usually some good deals on those on Black Friday, or worth tracking on CCC for Amazon prices

ninjaturtlesmum · 23/09/2018 08:05

Not sure if Mountain Warehouse sale been mentioned? Up to 70% off and you can get an extra 15% off sale stuff with the code summersale

I bought these last year for teacher gifts Penguin Torch £3.49 and this Polar Bear Torch £3.49 In fact I think I got them from someone posting on this thread last year!!

They also have this owl torch £2.49 which might make a lovely stocking present for someone. In fact they have lots of torches in the sale. Postage for under £50 is quite expensive though at £4.50 so probably best to get a few things.

KitKatCHA · 23/09/2018 08:43

@Fannyfanakerpants Mermaid tail blanket on Amazon for £5.19 with free delivery. This is the size I got my 5 year old last Christmas and it fit perfectly :)

Alanamackree · 23/09/2018 08:45

@TheOwlandMe we got a bilibo years ago and it was barely played with. I thought it would suit my two as they generally like open ended play and are quite imaginative but it’s just been a bit meh. But other posters love them so I’d say it just depends.

BestofLuck · 23/09/2018 08:47

@saladfingers @lifelongfrugaleer I'm with you both re DS and DD. My DS (11) has specified she hopes to get toys but can be difficult age to pick things with longevity. Not big gifts but have you looked at Kanoodle games? Or Smart Games IQ? Bought DS (8) former and DD latter last year and DD said it was one of best she'd received.

BestofLuck · 23/09/2018 08:48

Whoops! Gender reversal there - DD is 11.

duckling84 · 23/09/2018 08:48

As mentioned they were bilibos but the website selling them unfortunately closed down about 6 months ago.
I wouldn't pay full price for one personally, half price though I am happy with
