Was someone asking about the Barbie dream plane? The Entertainer website has £20 off it

This looks good for less than £2 on amazon.

Oh thanks for the little people big dreams pack. I’ve been looking out for them and not seen an offer come close to that.

I now need a micro scooter as apparently all others are rubbish. Do these ever go on offer?

@CompleteBarstool was it Hawker’s Bizzar (not sure on spelling!). I reverted loads of people buying stuff from there for Christmas stockings and I actually bought my baby’s cot mattress (Top line babies r us) for £16. It was one of those “if it turns up great, if it’s crap we will buy one from JL”. It was and is fab.

Someone asked about Lego dots - I saw bracelets for £2.50 in Morrisons last week.

Remembered*

Evening, don't suppose anyone knows of a way to get a discount at the RSPB Shop online? I've seen a puffin doorstop my Sister will love but it's £30!!!

Pet buddies puppets back in stock

Saw this Ice Palace play house reduced to £25 in lidl this evening. Obvs will be hit&miss depending on store.

Thanks to whoever posted about Bomb Cosmetics free delivery last week. My bath fizzers arrived today with a lovely free soap too. Perfect stocking fillers. Just need to figure out what to do with the colourful packing chips, feels a shame to throw them away. Although a quick google and it turns out they’re actually made from corn starch, not polystyrene as I assumed, so they’re biodegradable.

@SingaporeSlinky
I don't think Argos did 3for2 last year?
But they did do about 10 weeks with different offers each week (1/3 off Chad Valley, 20% off Lego or Barbie etc.) which were actually better if you want one item not 3. I can see them doing that again.

bunnyberries forgot about that last year, so used to the 3 for 2. I’ve been building up a basket but just hoping for a big toy sale somewhere to just get it all in one go. Not sure I can face tracking each thing individually.

I also got my bomb cosmetics order today with a free soap and it was all lovely. Will definitely order from them again.

This Marble Run Reactions set has just dropped to £13.99 on Amazon.
Down from £25.

Galt Toys 1005155 Galt Marble Run Reactions [ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Y3JWW6Q/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_pARvFbZ9K42PG]

Bit of a niche gift for anyone with long distance family - I thought these Friendship Lamps look like a great gift. They have 30% off today, plus save10 gets an additional 10% off, so £108 for the pair.

Ooh, the marble run is a bargain. If only I could think of someone to buy it for!

Thanks @BabyClam just bought the marble set to add to the one I bought DS last year. Great price!

Long shot but has anyone seen any bargainous Princess and the Frog (Disney version) toys or bits for a 4 year old? DD is obsessed but ridiculously high prices on eBay/amazon 😒

@theyips there were some cute frog bits at Flying Tiger recently. Not branded, but sweet puppet etc

@Elpheba it’s Connetix I had read about and somehow mixed up with Playmags . Thank you! Now, my problem is I can’t see a 100 set in stock anywhere. Agghh!!

@theyips argos has the Tiana doll on their 2 for £15.

Thank you jingles hadn’t thought she might be satisfied with just frogs, anything for a trip to flying tiger!

Great thanks neros I can definitely find another —less girly— toy for her for xmas in that deal 👍🏼

Code 19805 for £5 off a £30 spend online at The Body Shop, they’ve got xmas gifts in now and their vanilla pumpkin stuff 🍂

Long time lurker. So many bargains thank you! Just ordered the marble run for the present box! I am after a straightening brush if anyone sees any deals!
