The range have some lovely bits in, they were putting out lots of Christmassy bits- had this Lego Harry Potter activity/sticker book for £2.99 (probably suitable for age 6-10, or I would like one please, age 31) and some really smiggle-esque stationery 50p-£3.

Cult Beauty starter kit for £25.00 with code YOU15.

DD wants the pizza or corgi oodie, I doubt her long term commitment to love the garment so don't want to spend that much on one. Does anyone know of any copies that have prints on? All the ones I've found so far are plain block colours.

Just picked these up in home bargains for £2.99 each - perfect for my 8 year old drawing and writing mad DS

Ha anyone who contacted Dunedin customer service had a response yet? Just had my order and received 2 scarves and a jumper, missing 4 scarves and a hat but all items listed on the packing slip....

@Jfw82 I emailed Tuesday and still waiting for a response. I’m 1 scarf missing and 3 were listed on the packing slip.

Lightening deal in a tie dye kit on amazon here

Lost you all briefly there as I ran out to the postie!
My Photobox 9 magnets came today and so did the jigsaw I had done with one of dd's holiday snaps. V. pleased.

I did a couple of Dunedin orders in the end. In one they were all there on the packing slip but there was also a typed note apologising that some items would follow in another shipment due to Social distancing regulations.
Mine were all in the package though so didn't have to wait.

Found this Vtech Globe on Asda toy sale, can't find it on sale anywhere else below £40 so for £22 looks like a good deal

Lightening deal in a tie dye kit on amazon here

I bought that kit a few weeks ago and it's great!

@gingerbeerandlemonade we got my sons train table from studio. It was fifty pounds cheaper than symths and you got more track with it. I found it very good value for money.

For those debating whether a micro scooter in worth it- they are amazing quality with epic customer service. Our 2nd daughter wanted new flashing lights on hers. She was the fourth child who owned it.we ordered the wheels from them and then couldn't get the old wheels off as it was old and stiff. For the cost of return postage they fitted the new wheels for us and sent it back with 3 accessories for free because they were so tickled to see an older model in use still.

I love that you can buy almost any part as a replacement. As we have three children (and multiple cousins) we are happy to pay the extra knowing they will have a long and useful life.

Ah these pics are making me want a tree pics thread! Do we have one?

Cute millions sloth colouring book on amazon for £2. There are others in the series (unicorns, mermaids etc. Not all reduced but good reviews. Great for stockings or sloth lovers!

@HereForTheTinsel thank you 😊 will definitely look at it. It looks a little smaller which I want- we had a second hand one a while ago and it was too big.

Asda now have £5 off all padded coats!

My Dunedin scarves have just arrived. I ordered 2 and they are very nice.

@superstar84 ds has had that garmin for nearly 3 years now. He loves it. The battery needs changing every year. I had to buy a new strap a few years ago as the first one broke. Customer service has been good when I have contacted them. (and I have an adult version that when the strap broke and couldn't be replaced they gave me a whole new tracker).

This doesn't look too bad for £1.95 if you don't mind waiting

Cult Beauty starter kit for £25.00 with code YOU15.

Would you say this is ok for teenagers? Or older

Not a clue. I just found it and posted it! Sorry!

@Furlougheddrinker

Hello everyone! First Post here but been keeping a watch on these threads thanks so much for the bargins! Will post anything if I find it.

I too am debating between a Yoto and a Tonies. Pretty much decided on a Yoto! Does anyone know of any discount codes or whether they go on offer ever? Thanks alot!

You can use a referral code for £10 off yoto. Happy to give you one if you drop me a pm.

Hi, Has anyone seen grid its for under £10? they seem more expensive this year than last. (guess most stuff is!)

@aimslou my dd is 14 and it would be wasted on her, definitely aimed at older or those with a passion for skin care.

@IggyAce thanks for the heads up on the lightening deal - it went down to £14 for me when I checked out so a great deal!
