Just a reminder you can watch the thread by clicking on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first message. It’s much easier for everyone than so many place marking every time which can use up a fair chunk of each thread to scroll through

This might be a good gift for boys that are into nerf guns. Its only £9.74 if you use code D5X5SJ59 and select the 5% off voucher. amzn.to/3aQEYOA

@TheGriffle have a look on baker Ross. They have loads of art and crafts bits..kept me sane during lockdown! They have nice things like bug hotels and butterfly houses which we decorated then hung in the garden

@Isadora2007 I'm trying my hardest to find someone to buy one for!!

@NoWordForFluffy I hadn't spotted that - I'll get my comment removed so noone purchases at that price!

@AndddddHerewegoagain thanks for the rainbow link, l've seen really good reviews for that one but I hadn't managed to find it in stock before now.

Sorry if I am too late @NerosFiddle, but there are a few at b&m bargains.

Easily done. Prices change all the time too!

I always Google Lego product numbers as prices vary so much.

Does anyone know if/when Aldi or Lidl usually sell their tipee collection? I may have missed it but know that they usually have a range for about £35 and I can't find anything quite as good value online in a grey colour.

They’ve got a baby and toddler special buy on 6th September so may have them on sale then. If not I know it’s definitely before Christmas because PILs helpfully bought DD one for Christmas last year 🙄

@SayNoToCarrots I've just sent dh out to look for it. Hopefully my local store will have it. Thank you.

Would anyone like my £10 Boden voucher, I don't use it. It expires tonight. I'm going to stick it here so first come first served!

Has that worked?

I know it’s not particularly Christmassy. And I have to add a warning that it’s hard to go back to normal heavy shoes when you’ve worn their memory foam soles.

We have this one! Quite often codes floating about online for Vertbaudet too :)

@TheGriffle what about a clay modeling set? My DSD got one last year for Christmas and loved it.

@AndddddHerewegoagain Baker Ross saves my sanity at the start of lockdown so I will revisit, thank you.

@Bluebell9 is that like air drying clay? She’s had some of that and enjoys it but her models keep breaking once dried which frustrates her, I need to teach her how to join bits together properly.

Fimo is great for modelling. Feels a bit like play doh, comes in lots of colours, bakes and hardens in the oven.

Would fimo work for the kids making Xmas decs for the tree?

I've used salt dough before but it takes hours to cook in the oven

I've been on this thread for at least 7 years now with a couple of names. I've finally sent up a new account as my app threw me out months ago and I can't seem to reset my old one. I cant bear to just lurk on my favourite threads of the year.

Anyway I see these twistypets are popular and one is only £10 on amazon just now. here

@TheGriffle my dd is the same with surprise toys! Wants them all but just likes opening them and then loses interest!

Some things she liked recently were Lego Dots
those little sets where you sew your own stuffed animals ,
Polymer clay to make beads and stuff
Acrylic paint pens for decorating rocks

If she likes music maybe a fancy speaker or MP3 player?

Thank you!! I love Skechers, but they keep pushing their prices up and up. The style of trainers I buy from them used to be £30-£40 - these days they're £80!

Does anyone know of a way of getting the Henry Hoover for cheaper than £99?

I have tried Very with the new customer code but it is overpriced on the site anyway. Thank you!

Thanks for the ideas. I’ve found some clay colours on amazon and a Perspex board and rolling pin. She has asked for a tv but I’m not keen at her age!

@TheGriffle dd age 6 loves her camera from vtech with selfie stick, face paint, make up stuff, her hair dryer and connectic sand. Perhaps any ideas for yours

Having given away my Boden voucher upthread I now realise I haven't bought my daughters school tights if anyone has one they won't use please could you PM it to me? Thank you.
