@PinkDaydreams sea turtle

@noodledoodler thank you, lovely sundae glasses bought.

@PinkDaydreams Papo did a Crab item number 56047 but think you might have to search for or ebay it. Some sealife centres have online shops you could try.

@PinkDaydreams we have a tube of Toob animals. They seem pretty good quality and have lasted 4 years with 2 children regularly playing with them.
They do a sea creature 'Toob' too - not quite all the animals you're looking for but they might so other selections as well.

Not sure if this is the correct blokus but bargainmax have it for £14.99

If anyone sees any bargains for the Harry Potter wizard chess over the next few weeks could you please post. Normally around £45, I think it's on Amazon at the minute for £40 but would love to get it a little cheaper if possible.

I LOVE this thread exactly as it is.

I've had some amazing bargains & ideas for tricky people but most of all it makes me so happy to sit down with a cuppa & read through the christmas chat that builds up the excitement of the season.

I don't often have bargains to share but get ridiculously pleased if I do

@PinkDaydreams Argos have tubs of creatures in the 2 for £15. The quality is ok, not brilliant but good for the price. We have the farm ones and the dinosaurs but they also do safari and sea creatures. Argos

Please can somebody remind me the name of the card game that lots of people bought on an amazon lightning deal last year? My kids were too. Young then but maybe not now and I'm having a mental block!

@PinkDaydreams look at lanke kade animals. They are so beautifully made and my children love them. They are a good price as well. Available from lots of places that offer 10% discount for first order

Scrolling through Dobbies sale section and picked up a few teacher/friend token gifts. Reed diffusers reduced from £6 to £1 so got a few for the present drawer. There are 2 fragrances, I've just linked to one.

@Tinysnickers was it Avocado Smash? I got it last year and we really like it.

@Tinysnickers I think it was Uno 🤔

No, I've just found it, it was Skyjo.
Currently 13.95 on amazon but I think it went lower last year.

@riverhouse would avocado smash be good for 6 and 8 year olds?

@Tinysnickers was it exploding kittens?

I can recommend Dobble!! My eldest age 8 played it for the first time the other day and he loved it. My nearly 6 year old wasn't as interested though. My DH and I enjoyed it too

@Notlongnow1

There are some lovely Scribbles that matter bullet journals in limited time deals on Amazon. There is a promotion available on them giving you a free set of 24 watercolour brush pens (worth almost as much as the journal). I bought A5 Dotted Journal (160gsm) by Scribbles That Matter - Bullet Dot Grid Notebook - Ultra Thick Premium Paper For No Bleed Through - Hardcover Vegan Leather Notebook - Pro Version - Sky Blue this one) for my own stocking but if you search "Scribbles that matter" there are some other sizes and designs.

Thanks so much for this, just ordered as my daughter has asked for a bullet journal for her birthday :)

On last year's thread im sure there was a type of candle mentioned that had jewellery inside. I don't suppose anyone can remember the name of the company can they please?

I'm really hoping this was a real thing and not just some random dream I've had!

@Haveyoubrushedyourteeth
royal essence and imperial candles both do candles with jewelery in them

@Tinysnickers oh Skyjo was going to be my other suggestion.
Out of the two my kids prefer playing Avocado Smash to Skyjo and they won't play Exploding Kittens at all (altho I know others love it)

Another card game you could check out is Rat-a-tat cat.

@notlongnow1 thank you! I LOVE my scribbles that matter journal so this is perfect for me to buy for me from the kids 😊

Does anyone know of a code that will work for The Entertainer please? Thank you!

@PinkDaydreams schleich are great quality and hard to beat. Could you look on eBay? Or sign up to the Schleich newsletter as they often have deals and discounts.

@damitjamit it was Imperial Candles I was thinking of, thankyou!
