Fantastic deal on the Sylvanian house, thats my DD main present sorted for Xmas. With a baby due in November I'm very happy with being so organised and thrifty. Thanks @vroc81

@number1fan my daughter is also after one for her birthday in August. They're extortionate new aren't they? I've been hunting on fb marketplace.

Such a good deal on the Sylvanian house. We do have that already and the kids love it

torthecatlady · 08/07/2020 12:11

I'm glad the sylvanian families house is out of stock by me as I'm tempted and I don't even have anyone to buy it for Blush

TryingtobePrepared · 08/07/2020 12:13

Hopefully this isn't too late but I went shopping in real life last week and Tiger / flying tiger had almost 50% of the stock in store marked down to half price. Lots of summer garden toys but also lots of stationary so good for stocking fillers / present drawers

@Emiliemoo it's lovely isn't it! I love Oliver Jeffers and always get his books for presents so was amazed at the price on Amazon and have bought three for Christmas presents!

I've ordered the Sylvanian House, fingers crossed it isn't cancelled.

My little one had also requesteda Barbie dream house @No1fan2020 and she said I didn't have to worry about buying it because father Christmas would get it 🙈 according to the camels the lowest ever price was £160 and that was black Friday. Still such a lot! I'm looking for second hand.

BumpkinSpiceBatty · 08/07/2020 14:18

Lego Friends Heartlake Amusement Pier is down to £72 on amazon. Still £120 at the lego shop.

My Rex london order arrived today after 11 days. Really happy with the quality of everything and managed to get most of the stocking stuffers done.

Yeknom · 08/07/2020 14:27

Gaaah missed the LOL pets, that would have been a super bargain!

livingthegoodlife · 08/07/2020 14:44

Amazing schleich horse club offer in Argos. RRP at schleich £100. Only £25 in Argos. I'm wracking my brain trying to think who I could buy one for but my girls have so many schleich horses already!!

I would ideally like new as its a gift. Do you know where it was sold at that price as that is quite a substantial discount considering some places have it on sale for £280

Lol lils and pets are really cheap at Argos, Hatchimals wow is 17.50! My DD has asked for a barbie dream house although I think it's too big for her room and so much money. I am looking at kidkraft ones. Lol chalet is £125 on argos which was a big wish for lots of kids last Christmas.

Same here. I'm well chuffed!
CosmicVagina · 08/07/2020 17:56

Has anybody seen any SuGru offers?

catfeets · 08/07/2020 18:36

@livingthegoodlife great deal on the Schleich horses, thanks. I've ordered one despite my baby being only 4mths old Blush. It can join the rest of the unnecessary toys in the loft until she's old enough for them Grin.

Gutted to have missed the sylvanian house though.

livingthegoodlife · 08/07/2020 18:49

@No1fan2020 according to camelcamelcamel it was Amazon. Set up a price alert to track it. I'd prefer new too as it will be my daughter's main gift, but no way am I paying £200 for Barbie tat!! Fingers crossed it goes down before Xmas.

sorryiasked · 08/07/2020 19:00

For those looking for the dream house, it's currently about £210 on German Amazon - worth keeping an eye on it.

Mrsfussypants1 · 08/07/2020 19:01

Scanner 20, I'm also looking at the kidkraft ones as the barbie house is huge! Friends bought it for their daughter last Christmas and the grandparents built it at theirs, it had to be dismantled to get it in to theirs it really is massive and my daughter doesnt have the space anywhere for it. I've been looking at the kidkraft zoey and the Hallie. Both modern and have lights, sounds on the toilet and cooker, wooden and although tall much much slimmer. Costco had one of them on display last year and it was lovely.

Mrsfussypants1 · 08/07/2020 19:46

livingthegoodlife thank you for the schleich bargain just bought one for 4yr old granddaughter and its the perfect add on to the schleich horses, m&d stable and play rug we already have and much loved.

Scanner20 · 08/07/2020 20:10

Mrs funnypants, how funny as I've been looking at the Hallie one also and pretty sure that's the one I'll go for. It's a good size, not too bulky and yes modern too. I'm sure she'd pick a bright pink one if she had her way but usually happy with what she gets and they are lovely. I thought it can go barbie or lol doll then too. I know they have Black Friday deals and very have offers on them from time to time. So I'll keep an look out for any deals. The barbie one is massive, I looked at the barbie Malibu one too as folds away so thought that could work too. Then decided to go with the kidkraft option.

Some decent stuff in Argos clearance, although obviously location dependent.

Imagination Station money box £2

Polar Gear Glass Water Bottle £4 Super pretty!

Imagination Station Snuggle Cape. £4 Also available in lion, gorilla, unicorn.

Pixie Belle enchanted interactive animals. £4.25 Not entirely sure what this is, but it's fluffy and it moves, so my kid will love it.

Enchantimals figures assorted. £4.50 This is the Swan one, but there's a bunch of others.
