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

penguin i got stuff like this www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0792T5XJD

merry just get schleich type sharks, they go fine in the bath!

DelurkingAJ · 03/10/2018 18:15

For stockings I do nicer versions of things they use (eg character pants), Xmas socks, small Lego sets, DS2 gets chocolate, DS1 gets crisps or similar (strange child doesn’t like sweet things), a book or two, craft bits (eg a pack of googlie eyes and a glue stick), a ‘special drink’, a chocolate orange or a satsuma. DH gets similar (plus a bottle of beer)...mine looks very different. I buy through the year so got each DC a much reduced pencil case from Smiggle in the summer.

DMum also does ‘stocking presents from Granny’ when we see her after Xmas and seed packets featured to high acclaim last year.

For anyone who missed the Lego snow globe , this years limited edition free gift is another snow globe . It’s usually available around the 1st December so I always postpone buying Lego until then . They also sell Christmas baubles with a buildable figure : santa , reindeer , snowman inside them . I got them for the first time last Christmas and my daughter especially loved hers . It was the first thing she opened and built.
They also have sets like these for about 9 quid nearer to Christmas . There’s also a penguin decoration this year and some Christmas brickheadz. Can you tell we like Lego ?

What's happened to camel camel camel? I'm getting 'Product search has been temporarily disabled due to abuse. Sorry for the inconvenience.' when I try to search for something.

How can I bargain hunt without it?!

Have I been using it too much Blush or is it stopped for everyone?

gaggiagirl · 03/10/2018 18:58

nordic have you been abusing that camel? I used it at lunch time and it was fine. Ill try it again now...

handmademitlove · 03/10/2018 19:06

How much do you normally have to spend for the free christmas lego gift?

PurpleTigerLove · 03/10/2018 19:49

I think it’s about £50 tentative . I’ve bought a Christmas set each year so got it with that . Offer to order some stuff for your friends to save in postage ( wink wink ) .

PurpleTigerLove · 03/10/2018 19:50

And a Lego brickhead Turkey snowman shoes

gaggiagirl · 03/10/2018 20:17

nordic my camel has been abused too! I'm getting the same error message!

whereisthatpenguinfrom · 03/10/2018 20:21

A 'beware' here - I tried the Birchbox link, 2 boxes for £10 + postage. Signed up, got the boxes. Went back online to cancel - within 2 days they had already billed me for a further monthly payment and postage i.e. £26 total instead of £13.

Reading online this is fairly common, as well as horror stories about them billing after subscription cancellations, for months and all sorts. I feel like I should have done more research first. Am going to call my bank tomorrow to see if there is a way to make sure they can't take any more, just in case.

Today I discovered amazon smile!
Not sure it has already been mentioned but if you purchase through amazon smile page they will donate 0.5% of your purchase to your chosen charity!
I know it’s very little but every bit I suppose does help.
I have chosen royal Manchester Children’s hospital charity as DD has spent a lot of time there this year with more to come.

snowmanshoes · 03/10/2018 20:56

I noticed that too Purple!

Free delivery at smyths when you log into your account. I've used it to pre order a fortnite pop!

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts last year in the run up to Christmas one of the Galt marble runs was massively discounted on amazon, and it's great. Might be worth setting up a camelcamelcamel alert?

And a bag of really cool marbles is a good stocking idea FYI! Ds1 has solar system type ones this year.

SleeptightDaisy · 03/10/2018 21:45

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts we ended up with two of these marble runs the kids love it and thanks you've reminded me I need to put the other up for sale.

I emailed Lego about the snow globe they've said they should have some more but couldn't say when they'd be back in stock.

SleeptightDaisy · 03/10/2018 21:49

The toys and learning site have some good offers on schliech and have lots of different sharks. Ours have them in the bath all the time no problems.
