Thanks @cobaltsolaris. My ds loved the pirate one last year and sure he will enjoy this even more 😊

For whoever was wondering about the ice cream cart my son has played with it more than any other toy. It's fab.

We got ours last year in costco but only a few pounds cheaper than you have seen.

Bigmouselittle I have an issue with my order from Anthropologie too and they aren’t being greatly responsive so as yet is unresolved. I ordered some knobs and the metal bit on some were a different colour to others (and the photo online). I asked if I could return the ones a different colour to swap for the colour I was expecting and so they all matched. They asked for a photo which I sent and then didn’t reply and so I chased them up with the photo again and a screen shot of the original email explaining the issue and today got a response saying they got the photos and how could I help them so I’ve replied that the info was on the screenshot photo as I cba to type it all again when it’s there for them 🙄. Sorry, that was long and dull!

@crikeycrumbsblimey That ASOS code is fab, thank you! I was just just placing an order for unicorn twosies and Tall pjs for dh and thought I should double check the thread before checking out and like magic there was your post!

noodledoodler · 26/10/2019 15:55

My gruum shampoo bars arrived today, very happy with them, hoping DH didn't twig though as he took delivery of them and packaging has brand name on back! I used my complimentary code sent for the lateness of delivery, it did work though my order was only for £9.50 so it only deducted the cost of products not delivery, still, happy with it all. I was probably one of the last on the thread to order the bars I think so hopefully everyone else has received theirs by now.

@Guineapig456 Friends & City £18, Star Wars & Harry Potter £20 @ Tesco

Harry potter is also £17.49 at Amazon and Smyths

MissRainbowBrite · 26/10/2019 16:06

@PaddingtonPaddington another recommendation for the Costco throws if you can get to one. They are huge and so thick. They have 2 types, one Sherpa backed and one just plain fleece. Around £9-12.

PinkDaydreams · 26/10/2019 16:17

Gutted I missed the Asos code!

sleepismysuperpower1 · 26/10/2019 16:20

@Whattodowithaminute for your 3yo what about zhu zhu pets? they look a little creepy but my dds like watching them in the tubes and changing which way they go

sleepismysuperpower1 · 26/10/2019 16:24

@Guineapig456 there is one on ebay link for £9.95 + £2.90 postage

JaneyJimplin · 26/10/2019 16:32

House of Fraser have 20% off in store and online with code AUTUMN20

nicky2512 · 26/10/2019 16:35

@winewolfhowls That was me. Thank you. I am going to go ahead. I like a bargain but really want to get mums shopping done so I can start my own!

margaritasbythesea · 26/10/2019 16:37

Are there still any M and S codes aeound or is that all over now?

BeaLola · 26/10/2019 16:39

not sure which thread I saw the offer on but my Good Housekeeping free Christmas book arrived & its lovely plus 6 issues of magazine to look forward to for £9.99 - I think the offer is stil on if you sign up by 29/10

DaisyChops · 26/10/2019 16:49

To the pp asking about luvabella, I got my DD a luvabella as she loves dolls and she never plays with it, biggest waste of money ever!

Shitfuckoh · 26/10/2019 17:03

15% off at The Happy Puzzle Company with code SITEWIDE19
Can be used on everything including clearance. Not sure what postage costs are like though

hiredandsqueak · 26/10/2019 17:10

I've had an email from The Highland Gift Company offering their Try Me box so shortbread, Jam , chocolate, fudge and Tea for £9.99 with free postage if you use code TRYME. I've ordered for me and again for dd to use now but would be a good buy for anyone making their own hampers as individually priced it's much more than £9.99

Kraggle · 26/10/2019 17:15

Can anyone recommend a decent wooden farm for my 2.5 year old please?

sleepismysuperpower1 · 26/10/2019 17:29

@kraggle have a look at this one. its available on amazon too but £20 more expensive on there

Someaddedsugar · 26/10/2019 17:40

Extra 24% off buyagift with code VC24PAY - Vouchercode claims this stacks with other offers but haven't checked that out

Barbarara · 26/10/2019 17:41

Not a Christmas question but seeing as you lot are so brilliant: any ideas for party favours for worldly wise 11 year olds? It’s a Minecraft coding party so something geeky would be great. I’m really stumped.

SaveMeFromMrTumble · 26/10/2019 17:41

Hey everyone i dont know if its already been said but i got an email from aldi their wooden toy special buys go on sale tomorrow 😁

myfavouriterain · 26/10/2019 17:41

I keep looking at the beauty advent calendars and very meh, can only see 2 or 2 products in each that I would consider buying at full size and cheaper to buy those products separately but not as Christmassy.

imsorryiasked · 26/10/2019 17:44

@Barbarara what sort of budget?

myfavouriterain · 26/10/2019 17:44

Retailers seem to be disappointing this year, Boots selling the 3 for 2, cult and anthropologie crap customer treatment, just read upthread Body Shop dropping the £5 offer that was there to promote recycling. Bit cynical but they're all maybe focusing on profit over customers?
