We got the one below recently and it's fantastic. DD (4) loves it and uses it loads. You can connect it to a speaker, use it to sing with digital music and it has everything in one including speaker and lights.

Previously had the Vtech Kidi super star and it was rubbish to tell the truth (and 5 x more expensive) as had too many options and games, plus auto switches off if you are not pressing buttons even if you are mid song (which reminds me I need to sell it to make room).

Just found this beautiful personalised Christmas Eve box for DD and DN. it looks like a good size and decor for £12.49.

@PinkDaydreams we bought lap trays with legs from IKEA which fold down. DS uses them for Lego.

If you’re at M&S hunting down gin, these were reduced from £5 to £2.50, but scanned at 20p. Date of October 2020. I was buying for a gift, but went back for a few more... I also got gin.

This was the M&S at Manchester Fort.

@Fuckingfuckssake

Looking for a freestanding basketball hoop, nothing second hand going near me, any other bright ideas please?

I got one from Smyths a couple of years ago still going strong

Has anyone got any recommendations for little cars for a one year old? I’ve bought a toy table with a road map scene and wanted to get cars to go with it, but wasn’t too sure which cars to buy - there’s so much choice.

On another note - is anyone having issues with the F&M website? Each one I try and look at their hampers it says there’s 90 results but the page is blank. It’s been like this since they updated their website.

Thanks.

Argos have reduced prices again on some toys, up to a third off! Just got the Duplo Plane for £12.75. Not a CC best price but pretty close!

Great price on this Jurassic World Colossal T-Rex. It’s also dropped to £35 at Argos (from £70)

I'm going to ashford shopping outlet today in Kent, if anyone lives near enough to want to know about any good deals I come across let me know and I'll keep a proper eye out :)

The gotta go flamingo is £26.40 At Argos, it is OOS on amazon who have a CCC best price of £25.95

I want this for myself!! Lego Disney Arendelle Castle 25% off at Argos

Does anyone have any recommendations for a mini fridge? I need two for my ds’s.

Great price on the metal die cast Mighty Pup cars. £16.50 for 8 cars. I think I paid £4 each a few months ago

Wayfair have a huge sale for 48 hours

Thanks for the tip about argos, just noticed something I brought last week has now extra money off so back to return! Luckily I live a stones throw away so it's not a big deal

Amazon have some LOL OMG dolls reduced - Rollerchick and Da Boss to £24 amzn.to/3j0fGk8

@Adelais thank you! Also tagging @GirlWithTheYellowHat as I think she was looking for these.

@PhantomErik

Lego Monster Truck for £5 on Amazon, good little stocking filler

Thanks for the link just ordered this for DSS

Amazon has a Doh Paw Patrol Marshall set £6 down from £12. Lowest price previously was £8 according to CCC.

Thank you @Martinisarebetterdirty I was indeed still looking and grabbed these before the school run. The roller one is great due to my hobbie and getting my girls into skating

Lakeland vouchers, first come first served!

@Ivebeengood i found the toot toot cars are really good, they are toddler proof, good quality, no small bits and a nice size for 1 year old to play with, my ds still plays with his and hes 3 and we got them second hand.

Just maybe dont put batteries in them the singing is annoying! Especially when child learns to turn them on after you turned them off 🤦‍♀️😂
