I need a main present or two for a 7 month old girl. Any suggestions please?

@Carrie76 the older models I got were adjustable but not sure the recent model is - my 7 year old wears them happily though!

What's your budget @Raindancer411?

Thanks @VividImagination I will show the HP ones to DC. At the moment she'll only wear obscure indie gaming tshirts from America, which is costing a fortune in exchange rate and customs.

I've just ordered a Craft Gin Club box, think the gin will make a decent present for Dbro and I can eat the goodies myself

With a referral it's £24 for your first box. Posted mine on the thread

@AintOverUntilTheCatLadySings Yo to £80 as it's her main gifts

Woolovers - lovely merino jumpers, no acrylic. CA20 code gives 20% off and free postage.

@Raindancer411

We got ours a Smartrike round about that age.

@Raindancer411

@VividImagination Savil Row is on topcashback and BOU20 (I think) gives a discount (it's on the last thread but I'm on the app so can't check - BOU something)

@Vividimagination I used BOU24 for 20% off at Saville Row.

@VividImagination I'd love to get the HP t shirts for my DS but he's only 6. I'm wondering if small would still be massive on him.

I was getting a few things in the Asda baby event (10 weeks to go today!) and came across this. I'm getting it to put away for baby's first birthday next year, but might be a good present for anyone with little ones to buy for this year. @raindancer411 maybe this? Fisherprice interactive armchair £45 down to £25.

My 8 month old loves that yellow chair. Bought it for my daughters 1st birthday but she mostly used it to stand on to look out the window. She was 7 months her first Christmas and her favourite present was an activity table (now much loved by DS) - the plastic kind with lots of lights, noise and buttons.

FYI I've never seen that chair being sold for £45, would expect to pay £25-30.

Oh I have a trike but this maybe good idea for going out than the pram when she is more mobile

@Chocolateteabag @Smileatthesmallthings thank you. That’s one more gift sorted.

Can anyone recommend an apron for a very tall 8 year old boy? In clothes he's age 11-12

The ones I've found are adults which would be too big or young kids which are tiny on him

Ds loves to cook so I think he'd like his own apron

@CactusForever I think they would be pretty big. Dgs is almost 9 and they would be too big on him.

superstar84 I would try a cheap adult one as the tend to skimp on material. I bought one for £2 for my similar DS last year in the Jane Asher range at Home Bargains (fortunately he likes birds) and it was perfect.

Marks and Spencer have just emailed me to say sale of up to 70% off, not looked myself yet x

Finally I can add a code to this thread. 25% of joules plus free standard delivery thurs 10th til Monday 14th code VEG25

Thanks, I shall have a look at the chair too

Got a voucher from the checkout at Tesco yesterday for £5 off a £35 spend on toys instore/online (excludes gaming/books)
If any regulars would like it PM me.

Thanks very much @FilthyforFirth I've just brought a chair for my ds2. It's the same price on amazon but I'd rather support asda (amazon fat cat making a mint out of me right now 🙄) DS2 will be 11months this Christmas

Just got a large Lego storage head for £15 in B&M, they are also filling their shelves with Christmas stock and had a few advent calendars out.
