Newly released Christmasaurus and the Winter Witch book currently half price on Amazon

There are some very, very nice people on this thread!

(Looking at you RecklessGran and NoWordForFluffy )

Thank you with your help with the Sylvanians search. The upshot of it all for others that are looking, is that you should have a look at amazon and at these two places.

What a fantastic thread this is. Well done everyone!

Can anyone confirm which cookbook it is with a photo? I've seen two different covers on GH's own literature, so need to know if it's the one I got last year or not!

MEant to say that the Sylvanian store has special offers on some sets here £2.99 shipping, though.

@NotPennysBoat that’s an incredibly lovely thing to do. I’ve not long been on mat leave and received amazon gift vouchers from work and flowers. Whilst a very useful gift, I’d have absolutely loved vouchers for cook food. They sell home made ready meals and a package for new parents/lunch for the stay at home parent.

Sorry, @Ewock , it was a bricks and mortar Cancer Research shop I saw them in. They had loads in the window and looked like they'd been produced as new for CRUK rather than donated goods, but I can't see them online yet.

Are you using this web address for the body shop?

Shipping is free from the Sylvanian store if you spend over £30 though (probably not hard!).

And I'm glad to have helped, @margaritasbythesea.

Hello folks :)

I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion of somewhere to get personalised Christmas stockings for a reasonable price? Ideally I’d like to get them from an established shop so that when we have DC2 I can get them one to match

Not a fan of Santa sacks, I like stockings much better!

We have stockings and sacks!

How big do you need the stockings to be?

@NoWordForFluffy I’m not quite sure tbh, average stocking size? XD not too big as then we’ll have to buy more presents lol

@NaraDeer

I just wanted to add my experience in star toppers. When dd1 was stillborn I had similar thoughts to you. Babies have only a few ashes so instead I brought a beautiful Swarovski star tree topper. The problem with real Christmas trees is that the star is too heavy to actually sit on the top of the tree so I’d advise just actually checking that it can sit on a tree because it’s usually just a very thin branch. Our star can also be made into a standing decoration, but it’s disappointing I can’t use it as I hoped.

@riotlady I have found this website but haven't got round to ordering yet so can't speak for quality etc

I ordered this for ds today from Asda. Was £45 down to £22.50

Oo! They charged me shipping NoWordForFluffy and I definitely spent more than £30.i shall be on to them tomorrow!

Thanks MorbidMuch I'll see if they have a shop near me.

Could anyone recommend a bean bag for DS aged 11? A decent well filled one that will last. Not sure about shape so any ideas gratefully received. It’s just for him to keep in his room for lounging around.

Anyone know where the cheapest place to get a jumparoo might be?

@JaneyJimplin people are always selling them second hand on Facebook marketplace? Usually for around £20/25 if that helps. They're super handy but do take up space so people are always looking to offload them

How odd, @margaritasbythesea! It was one of the things I checked before sending you the links. (I pretended to check out to see what the shipping cost was!)

@recklessgran Keep an eye on TK Maxx - I’m sure they used to turn up quite regularly at the one I used to go to. Haven’t checked online for them though.

Xmassy I love my hygge bands, the patterns are fab and they stay in place. I find they do get a wee bit loose after a few wears but once washed again they are perfect.

Ivegot, Dolphin and Noodle thank you all so much for the suggestions for the wee ornaments.
I will check them out properly later but I think between them I should be able to put something together. I am crafty thankfully which will help.

Thank you!
