@jumpingintosummer thanks for the inspiration for the thread title, I’m now singing ‘return of the buns’ to the tune of ‘return of the Mac’

Thought I’d do a ‘how to’ for a couple of things people often post about not being sure of

To do click links you do this put link in here then a space then the name or phrase you want to go with the link . Don’t put a space between the start of the link or the last word next to the like I have or it won’t work but I had to to demonstrate.

If you’re posting anything specifically for me please do @ me or I may not spot it. It’s helpful if when sharing bargain info you bold it to make it easy for people to differentiate between chat and bargain links.

To follow the thread without using up a post to mark place you can click on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first post.

No affiliate links please.

Referral thread here to use for if you’re posting your personal referral link to others.

Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it Thanks

Big Bertha Bean bags have a sale on at the moment. I am looking to get one for DS, has anyone bought from there before, and if so which material and are they worth it? Many thanks

Crafty giraffe has its BOGOF offer on personalised decorations on. I've had stuff from here the last couple of years and it's lovely, originally discovered through this thread The Crafty Giraffe

Hello wise Elves.

For Christmas my DS will be 6 nearly 7 months old. Although I don’t want to go overboard I do want something for him question is what? An ideas.

Am loving the discounts.

Congratulations to the poster who is getting married. 😍

Our blokus game arrived this morning but it had a few bashes in the packaging

It's for ds so it will be ok and I can always say it fell off the sleigh!

I messaged Amazon to see if they'd reduce it a bit and the offered a full refund but I can keep the game!

I was very pleased, if anyone's does arrive damaged it might be worth messaging them With a photo

Willow4987 · 17/08/2021 09:36

@Lemonsandlemonade at that age we went with keepsakes that could be used again

So we got a personalised Christmas Eve box, really nice stocking, some really nice wooden blocks, personalised dippy egg board

Emiliemoo · 17/08/2021 09:53

Not a bargain but I've had an email from the BT shop the PS5 is in stock. We managed to get one elsewhere a month or so ago so no need for it anymore. I have a code to buy it if any one wants

@Emiliemoo yes please!!!!

DinosaurOfFire · 17/08/2021 10:06

@17caterpillars1mouse Thomas Push Along or Thomas Trackmaster fit on Brio, but the Thomas Trackmaster battery operated ones are often too tall and wide for tunnels. The Thomas Adventures trains are too narrow for the brio track.

Thanks for all the bargains! I've ordered the blockus, elf in my book and dithering about a typo basket from the last thread!

Any ideas on substantial toys for my fidget obsessed dd. She loves fidgeting with things rather than actually playing, so dolls she's always doing their hair or moving them about, and has a tonne of fidget toys (already got a few more for her stocking). She hasn't got the attention span for lego even though she likes building. Wanted something that might occupy her for more than 5 mins 😂 she's 9.

My other idea is a dolls styling head but would like something decent she can practise plaiting and styles on rather than the toy ones that matte up ridiculously easy!

torthecatlady · 17/08/2021 11:04
