@CaramelCandle thank you!! SOOOO useful to know. Never noticed that 'bookmark' before.

Thanks @yeknom. I'm Hampshire so not a million miles from London but dont fancy public transport heavily pregnant!

Will check out JL online. We have a small home section here, so will try there too.

Thanks @PinkDaydreams the North Face ones are very unique!

I think I'll go with the Toms but will shop around, keep my eye on sales.

Thanks @Yeknom that's a rip off, I'll do a search online.

Ive just bought these for my girls stockings, but would make gifts for parties too! There was other designs (Knights, under the sea, unicorns etc) but not as cheap as the fairies.

It’s a transfer book where you colour over the back of the transfer with a pencil and it transfers the image into the book

only £3.06 at the minute on Prime!

@VacMan I’ve bought quite a few pairs of toms slippers from cho.co.uk as they always seemed to be the cheapest and good customer service :)

Not a great bargain but Whittards have an up to 40% sale on some of their summery products, but also 20% off some of their hot chocs which I'm planning on getting for stockings/little gift sets

Thnx for geek store suggestion up thread, have you ordered clothing from them? I was looking at the play station hoodie, contacted them for sizing guide but it looks way off so no idea what size to order ta

Hi, does anyone know a code for sportsshoes.com please? - or maybe a student discount, I can't sign my Daughter up yet as she doesn't have anything 'official' to be accepted! Thank you

Love Toms- so comfy and I bung them in the washing machine.

Got some good little stocking fillers from a local garden centre. Individual cast iron skillets with a cookie mix for £3.50 instead of £7. DD’s will love them.

Was in Aldi’s just there, they have fingerlings for £5.99 and they had little tikes garden games for £2.99 (snakes and ladders/twister/inflatable volleyball). I know we are moving into autumn but they would make good floor games for a rainy day and an impressive present for only 2.99

Someone suggested an alternative to flying tiger online that begins with a H.... Can anyone help me out please? I am after some silly bits like notepads for stocking fillers. Thanks

Hema

@lexloofah I bought ds an official playstation t shirt, he is a small medium size normally. The t shirt is definitely on the small side and had he been a definite medium it wouldn't have fit. Of course no idea whether the same is true of the hoodies.
Thank you for the Dorothy Perkins code and sale heads up have bought dd a scarf for her stocking was £20 but I paid £6.30.

Thank you @hoopdeloop

Thanks PinkDaydreams for the link.

What about Toms sizes? My DH has awkward feet, ideally he is a 9.5 but wears size 10. Would it be better if the slippers were slightly smaller or bigger?
Should I be on the safe side and get the 10?

Also have fantastic tie dye kits in at the moment. £3.99. They really look like they are worth much more and are really substantial. I've bought two packs of t shifts for £1.79 with them to split. Lovely present for under
£5!

@Bryna I think student beans do a 10% off code there- pm me for one.

@Isadora2007 pm’d you with thanks

Just got my poundtoy and it came with a discount code for others- friends10 for 10% off. Not an affiliate discount

No idea what the company is like as I found them after a quick google search.[/quote]
Ahhh thank you! I think these were the ones I saw last year but didn’t want to buy as TTC wasn’t going well and I didn’t want to tempt fate by buying one for as yet unconceived baby #2. Will definitely be buying them now he’s here!

Is it Hema?

My last post should have said , Aldi, not "also" in relation to the tie dye kit

Sylvanian family bargain at half price

Picked up a Snowman xmas duvet cover from the reduced section in primark today for £7 instead of £14. They also had a few frozen and toy story home/bedroom items reduced.
John Lewis had a few toy reductions included the toystory talking bunny and ducky for £15 and a few others. Also had snowman and snow dog toy advent calendars at £6. And If anyone likes forward planning for when parties are allowed (of course you do, you’re on this thread!) they had party invites down to 75p-£1, lots of ginger ray baby shower/wedding/Christening banners, guess the baby weight scratch cards, gender reveal balloons etc all down to less than £2. Noticed a xmas photo booth sets in there too

Thank you @EvilHerbivore for the sylvanian lighthouse, that’s a Christmas present for my DN sorted!
