Thanks for the Brakebjrn tip. I've seen loads of nice stationery stuff in Tesco In the back to school but but also in the sale

@Duchessofealing Fabulous! Thank you x

@Gatepost1820 I had no idea there was such a thing. That’s a present dilemma solved!

Looking for some recommendations please - I want something like a HP Sprocket mini printer thingy but no idea if they are any good or if there is something better out there?

PoundToy code FACE15 gets you 15% off, nearly made it free delivery on the presents I bought for friend's DCs

Did someone post on the last thread about chocolate game controllers? If so please could you remind me where the bargainous ones can be found.
Saw some today in the Works but at £4 each I thought that was a bit steep.

Wasn't me that posted but edible controllers were on menkind. Think they are sweets not choc though.

Evilherbivore my unicorn obsessed 7 year old would love lots of stationary bits ie notebook, fluffy pen, pencil case. There are some lovely things like that in the Claire's sale and also nice necklaces, eye masks etc

@EvilHerbivore I don’t know if you can get to a primark but they have loads. Just bought a unicorn eyemask, mirror, brush, hand cream and perfume for a tenner

@QVCismyJam - Thank you for the explanation! Looks like I need to stalk the site and maybe register to get emails?

Down to 107£ instead of 180£ on Amazon

@Gardenworm we bought the sprocket for dds birthday in March and I’m actually really impressed with it, had a lot more functions than I thought and the pictures are good quality. Definitely prefer it to an instant camera as you can chose and edit your photos before printing so you waste less paper.
We got the 200 pearl bundle, but it was reduced on amazon (around £85 iirc). I’d definitely keep an eye out for it to drop again, the older model is around that on amazon just now but the bundle comes with a case, film and hanging clips so is better value. I’ve seen the prices go up and down on amazon and in currys. She uses it loads, takes it to sleepovers and family parties so has been a good buy for us.

Thanks everyone for the unicorn suggestions, will take a good look once I've finished work 💋

@Gardenworm my 13 dd had sprocket last Christmas. Been used loads more than her Polaroid.
It's so easy for her to print off her pics. Well worth it. Esp if you can get it on offers.
Thinking of getting her sister one this year.

@Jammiebammie & @allthingsred - thank you, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. I want her to be able to chose the pics rather than press and hope! Do yours use them with phones or tablets? Just wondering about picture quality. I think I'll check on camelcamelcamel, am guessing the price may come down Black Friday..will look for the bundle one jammie 😊

Spode 12 piece Christmas tree sets down from £204 to £70! If you buy now you also get a set of 4 soup dishes (valued at £84) for FREE!!

Not sure if it's been mentioned in the prequel, but you can get a free personalised children's book HERE. Just remember to cancel once your first book arrives as it is one book each month and only the first one is free.

I got one for my youngest a few months ago and it was really good, there is a different story each month and it shows you this months on the website. You get to choose what the character looks like so can try to make it look like your child. My DS really likes his

Not sure if been mentioned but Boots have 3 for 2 Christmas mix and match on. Says online only. Lots of toys in the offer

Wrong thread. Have too many mumsnet tabs

Oh oh, eagle eyed dd3 has alerted me that there’s a new lol house (chalet) and a new crystal lol collectors doll, as well as a new snow globe series. God help my bank account. Don’t think dh will let her get the house as she got the first one last year, and we already have the bus for this year. Dd has autism and is disabled, and when she fixates on something, she really does. This is all I’m going to hear about from now until Xmas

@Gardenworm no worries, you can set up an alert with camelcamelcamel and track the price. Dd uses hers with her phone and the picture quality is good yes. There’s a feature where you can hover your phone over the photo and it plays a mini video on your phone which she thought was cool, you can do similar hovering over the printer itself dd loves it.

Just like to recommend music magpie on eBay. I’ve received today two hardback books for less than £2 each and they are in brand new condition. They were on a buy one get 50% off offer. I’ve made quite a few orders with them in the last and have always been happy.

Waiting for an ASOS 20% flash sale - is it site wide ?

@QOD sometimes it’s off sale too but sometimes not. They’ve done a few ‘2 hours only’ lately which I missed both

ASOS 20% is hit or miss if it works on sale items, the student discount codes usually do though. They often do 20% student discount, it’s only 10% now but when it’s up to 20% I’m happy to share student codes from my dds unidays.
