@mcgonagalscat that looks amazing! Do you mean the JL price is the best one? I can’t find it on their website so might have missed it. My DS (also 3) would love it!

Thanks!

I brought a crocodile one for my teenage son last year from Asda. I definitely looks like a dinosaur though. It's green and super soft. They might have it again this year 🤞

Restlessinthenorth · 25/09/2020 20:29

Missed the chocolate brownie again! Damn

Just been looking at land send as dithering over squall coat.

It says flash sale increasing daily, reaches 75 percent Tuesday, if you can hold your nerve....

I'm abit stuck with one more item for my dad's stocking. Mid sixties, retired, not a reader, big into gardening and his allotment. I feel like I've exhausted all other things over the years. I need something for about a fiver or so to match what I've put in mums (I put eight things in each person's) any suggestions. I'm almost tempted to chuck some buns in 😂

superstar84 · 25/09/2020 20:38

Tesco do a few bakedin sets if anyone shops with them

Bezzi · 25/09/2020 20:50

How much are the buns when they're on offer please?

JinglesWish · 25/09/2020 20:56

@Bezzi £3.08

Smileatthesmallthings · 25/09/2020 20:59

Buns at £3.08 on Amazon currently

sorryiasked · 25/09/2020 21:02

@UselessInDisguise what have you already got, and what's the budget?

sorryiasked · 25/09/2020 21:03

Sorry I missed budget £5 Blush

DumplingsAndStew · 25/09/2020 21:04

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE POST THE LINKS FOR THE BUNS AND THE BROWNIES. THANK YOU

HoneyPea · 25/09/2020 21:05

If anyone has any little Hey Duggee fans the bedtime library (4 small board books) is down to £2.99 from £4.99.

Bakedin Iced Cinnamon Bun Kit 615g - All The Dry Ingredients - Baking tins - Recipe by Michel Roux OBE - Top Quality Ingredients Including Award Winning Flour, British Sugar - All Natural https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00QL5ADXC/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_W4KBFbXJWMX27

UselessInDisguise · 25/09/2020 21:11

@sorryiasked yep, it's the last little thing. I try to match each item fairly equally, so for this one mum has a fancy bath bomb for about a fiver but I can't equate it to dad. The rest of the items are a smart hat, a lovely thick snood for allotmenting, some chocolate, a wire tidy as he listens to footie on his headphones down the allotment and ends up in a right tangle, a grandad mug... I am abit stumped as hes not really into fancy things

beccarooney · 25/09/2020 21:12

Not cinnamon buns but...
In Sainsburys yesterday I bought a kit to make your own salted caramel flavour truffles. Bought as stocking filler for my teen DD (you just add cream). Milk choc flavour also available. £2.50 each. They were in the cake baking aisle with the other boxed cake mixes. Also there were packs of 2 Essie nail varnishes reduced to around £6 (can't remember exact price)

UselessInDisguise · 25/09/2020 21:13

I guess I could get a nice beer or something

Shantotto · 25/09/2020 21:24

@icedaisy so live in Scotland and love my lands end coat! Very waterproof and warm.

sorryiasked · 25/09/2020 21:29

@UselessInDisguise garden gadget? Air-pot or darcan string cutter?

DumplingsAndStew · 25/09/2020 21:29

Thank you @superstar84 Flowers

sorryiasked · 25/09/2020 21:30

Or nice nuts / pork scratching?

Whattodowithaminute · 25/09/2020 21:32

@UselessInDisguise would some hand warmers work for allotmenting? Twine always comes in handy, some seeds-maybe a couple of unusual types?

VividImagination · 25/09/2020 21:35

@UselessInDisguise how about some socks
