What kind of things come in the beauty box? Is it makeup or more bath type stuff?

You are so welcome @BadgerFace. It's nice to be of use. Thanks @stressbucket1 for the look fantastic boxes, also ordered three for 30 quid.

@stressbucket1

Has anyone tried the look fantastic mystery beauty boxes? They apparently have £80 worth of stuff in for £15 plus they are 3 for 2 so work out at £10 each with free delivery

Just ordered, thank you!

Anyone with kids that like playstation and xbox I seen a post on Facebook there that they have themed gifts in store.
I've made note of ps4 stress controller, ps4 flask, ps4 lava lamp, ps4 do not disturb door hanger. They also had xbox flasks, xbox light

Barbie Chelsea Camper is back in stock at the reduced price £29.99 on the entertainer and then drops to £24.99 with the 5OFF25. Far better price than elsewhere

Does anyone have the PS4 VR set? Is it good? I have 2 DDs 14 & 12. They want just dance and the camera, is it worth getting the full VR set up? Also, if anyone has seen it reduced let me know!

Would this be suitable for a 3 year old. Have my niece birthday and Christmas to get. Was thinking a My Generation doll. After having two boys I'm clueless to what's suitable for girls

DP has the VR headset, I wouldn’t say that it’s worth it generally. It’s fun for a day or two but it’s a hassle to set up and can make you feel a bit queasy, plus there’s not that many good games for it. We just use the move controllers for just dance and that works well.

Have the beauty boxes been taken off 3 for 2, or am I looking at the wrong thing?

@mummyof2boys30 I’ve bought it for a 3 year old, she will have only recently have turned 3, it is 3+ and would say 3 really is the bottom age range for barbie stuff

Does have some small parts though, but not as many as other barbie sets and they are all 3+

Still working; Add 3 to basket here

@Scoleah I was indeed looking at the wrong thing, thank you!

Ah hope everyone enjoys the beauty boxes. Glad to have a contribution!
Any tips on getting offers for nintendo switch games. Are they usually included in the smyths money off or argos 3 for 2 promotions. Thanks

Switch games aren't in the smyths deal, curry's often have £5 off them or sometimes Tesco or Asda do 2 for £70

@stressbucket1 Tesco have an offer (online only) XXTNPP for £5 off £40 spend for electrical items or XXTYLL for £10 off £75. Certain Switch games are included.

@superstar84 thanks will keep an eye out for those discounts then

Think il get it for her. She's a very advanced 3 so think she would be OK. Looks a good buy and can grow into it if she's a bit young

Ooh thanks @ThewoollybacksWife

They are use by 6th September btw

@mummyof4kids definitely a good present for 3, I got one last Christmas for my 3yr old and it was a hit, still plays with it.

Variety of cheap (gaudy!) Christmas earrings - might be good as a cracker stuffer?

Few more!

For anyone that may have missed the weighted blankets, EBay are doing ones. Different colours available and prices are similar

Sorry I can’t link

The beauty boxes seem a great price. Sorry if I've missed it but has anyone received one before? What sort of items do they have in them? Thanks
