@Oreocrumbs @catanddogmake6 thank you, I have re-ordered and requested cancellation of the original order, fingers crossed!

@LikeSilentRaindrops might be worth contacting customer service and seeing if they would give you a partial refund/honour the new price for you as you bought it recently?

What age is the ice cream cart suitable for? I've seen rave reviews this year and last and wondering if it's too young for my little boy who is just about to turn three? Or do I put it on the list for my 20month old goddaughter?

I've purchased this for my 4yo son & had one for my nephew. They Absolutely love the advert, so worth a go at £25! Saw lots of reviews saying 5yo olds still enjoy playing with it too

@Annie1290 ice cream cart is a big hit here too, was bought for 2 year old but older sibling and older friends love it too. Need to be at least 3 years old before realise to follow the instructions on the menu cards, they play happily without realising that part of the toy is even there but the older ones move on to playing that way

@IggyAce

Popped into Home Bargains this evening and I got these. My teen dd loved them they are so soft and squishy and I remember that someone posted about her DD asking for the softest cuddly toy each year, so these may fit the bill. I got the small which were the bargain price of 99p and they had slightly larger ones for £1.99. Got them for my DCs stockings.

It was me with the soft cuddly toy request, I will get myself down to home bargains, they look right up her street! Thank you!!

I’ve also just ordered the ice cream cart but not sure who for 🤷‍♀️

I haven't seen it mentioned but if you're a Spotify Premium customer you can get a free Google Nest Mini worth £49.99.

Log into Spotify and there is a huge button which says "claim my Google Nest"!

There is an offer of a free hagrid and buckbeak legohead when spending £100 at Lego Store. It's not enough for me to take the plunge and buy Harry potter Lego for Christmas yet. I'm hoping for a better deal! Might help someone.

Might get the ice cream trolley then 😬 thanks

@Carrie76 you’re welcome. Last September Lego we’re doing free set worth £18-20 with a £50 spend. I got one for DN when buying the friends TV set one for DD. Worth looking out for too.

Nooooooo in debating it, ice cream trolley has gone back up 😭

@Stripesgalore

My look fantastic boxes came. They are all identical and all skincare. I will use it for stocking fillers.

Oh no @Stripesgalore , I’ve ordered 3 and naively thought they’d send 3 different ones.

Has anyone else ordered 3 Look Fantastic mystery boxes and received a mixture of different contents or have they all been the same? Thank you.

@NickMyLipple I've looked but can't see it. Can you do it from the app?

@NickMyLipple it doesn’t say that on my Spotify! Where abouts do you see it?

You have to be premium member and log in on a web browser.

@Blankiefan and @Carrie76

You need to log in via a web browser rather than on the app.

Try this link: www.spotify.com/uk/claim-google/register/

It tells me I have already claimed the offer (which I have!) So hopefully it will direct you to the right place.

Awww I’m in Ireland and it says it’s not available in my country

@xici
Thanks for the code for the Bath bombs 😊

Thanks @NickMyLipple. Got it! 😀

Oh @Carrie76 that's annoying :(

Glad you managed to get one @Blankiefan -- the email to say it was ready for ordering went to my junk box!

Gutted I missed the playmobil and the ice cream cart. I had a camel camel on the playmobil too

@xici Thanks for the bath bomb code

Whittards offering a free coffee or tea gift of you spend £60. I got loads of hot chocolate and coffee selection gifts and the free coffee gift is worth £20 and is a pack of coffee, a caddy and some chocolate espresso beans. EXPLORECOFFEE

[quote Rosie2000]@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts thank you for the leggings- have ordered x2 unicorns for dd stocking[/quote]
Same here! They look fab, thank you!

Puppets are available again - I don’t know how to link sorry but if put “melissa puppet” into amazon they come up, it’s the pet buddies set

Ooh that’s annoying, just signed up to Spotify premium for the google nest and after making me go through all the pages to link my google account and Spotify it says “sorry you’re unable to redeem this at the moment”. Anyone else get this?
Also, how rude of me, should start by saying hi fellow bargain hunters 👋🏼. I’ve been here from the start under different usernames. Our dds are the same age @Reastie (hope it doesn’t sound stalkerish that I remember haha. But I remember us talking about them when they were toddlers and then when they were about to start reception and now they’re also most ten. The years have flown by. And I’ve had some great christmases thanks to you all.
