@PinkDaydreams we got these MaxiBean bean bags and they've been good for my 3yo and 6yo, as well as adults!

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 01/09/2019 19:34

Pinkdaydreams we bought DS a gamers beanbag earlier this year from Beanbag Bazaar - good quality and free next day delivery. Highly recommend them

Ohhh love the hot choc bombs. I’ll be getting some of them for my 8yo dd.
I need to buy small gifts for approx 10 x 8yo girls & 5 x 8 yo boys, it’s only a little token gift so only want to spend about £3 per gift. I was thinking of the catcicorn money boxes from sass & belle for the girls but struggling for boys.....id welcome any ideas.
I was wondering about cookie making sets from Katie’s bakes but not sure if that’s okay for boys of that age? If it is I might just get them all the same thing

Someaddedsugar · 01/09/2019 19:55

Does anyone have any advice on where the best place to buy Peppa Pig figures is?

Elphaba17 · 01/09/2019 19:55

Sunshine196, have you looked at Claire's? There are some lovely things in the 3 for £5 range for the girls.

StrumpersPlunkett · 01/09/2019 19:56

How have your beanbags held up over the year. I bought on ( not from this sites) for ds2 last year and it is so empty and squashed.

Sunshine196 · 01/09/2019 20:13

Oh yes I hadn’t thought about Claire’s I’ll have a look. I can see lots of things for the girls it the boys I’m struggling with although I’ve just stumbled across mini choc pizzas on gourmet chocolate pizza website that I might go for

scrappydappydoo · 01/09/2019 20:16

The works have got some Christmas crafty stuff in -get 25% off before midnight with code - TAKE25

Hedgyhoggy · 01/09/2019 20:23

can anyone direct me to the 3 for £5 on Claires Accessories?

gaggiagirl · 01/09/2019 20:38

Thank you @unihorn just spent £10 at pound toy and got 16 items! That should fill the empty paper crackers i bought and some stockings.

Sunshine196 · 01/09/2019 20:46

I can't find it either @Hedgyhoggy I was wondering if it's because the sale is on

Sunshine196 · 01/09/2019 20:48

Abercrombie & Fitch have got a decent sale on for anyone interested. Inc adults & kidswear.

allatonce99 · 01/09/2019 20:56

Hi,
Trespass has 70% off online and even more in stores, Clinton's has up to 50% off online with free delivery over £20 with code FREEDEL19 (I haven't tried it though). Lidl has some character headphones for £7.99 (I picked up Peppa Pig but they also had LOL and a few others) They also had an aqua doodle type thing and a few wooden toys too :)

imsorryiasked · 01/09/2019 21:03

@Sunshine196 @Hedgyhoggy
If you order the Claires sale stuff by price low to high pretty much everything in the first 20 pages or so is marked 3 for £5 in red under the photo.

BanoffeePieIsMyFave · 01/09/2019 21:05

@Hedgyhoggy if you look at Claire’s sale items and sort from lowest to highest price you’ll see them near the top of the list. All of the special offers seem to be combined for some resin. HTH

BanoffeePieIsMyFave · 01/09/2019 21:05

Reason!!

Sunshine196 · 01/09/2019 21:05

Ah fab thanks I'll take a look

BanoffeePieIsMyFave · 01/09/2019 21:05

Oops crosspost @imsorryiasked

Sunshine196 · 01/09/2019 21:21
