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

I love this thread! Dobbies play house on its way, plus some soaps, a paddling pool, and and a 'traffic ball'. Anyone who missed out on the camping stove set, it's back in stock now.

Argos have 2 for £30 on a variety of toys including some Lego sets. Looked a good deal as a couple of them are normally £25 each.

@PinkDaydreams

Can anyone recommend good quality animals please?! I’ve heard of schleich (or however you spell it) but wondering if there are other brands to look for please? I’m looking for a bundle of sea creatures, in particular crab, turtle, jellyfish, octopus for my son. I’ve seen tubs in home bargains but the quality looks a bit naff sadly

How about some wooden ones. Le Toy Van stacking sea creatures

Boots have a £10 beauty box (supposed to be worth £40) which may make a good teen stocking filler Boots beauty box

That box is great, however it is the same one they had last year. My local Boots were still selling them in June, so I don't know if they are new stock, or the leftover boxes from last Christmas.

@mumonthehill thankyou just purchased as the one I bought was at least £100 cheaper than elsewhere and seemed to have good reviews on other sites

[quote SuddenlySusan]I look forward to these threads each year since I found them around four years ago. I love the chat, feel like I’ve found my people too!

I’ve not posted many bargains this year, if any, but there doesn’t seem to be that many about that others haven’t already shared.

I’m usually super organised, but this year I want to be done as soon as possible. We are also not going too much on presents as the kids get too much anyway - plus they’re only just playing with that they got last year.

I’ve bought tickets for the theatre, days out and will be buying a zoo season ticket to finish them off, but usually reductions on Black Friday for these.

I bought these last year, or maybe the year before, in the sale and the quality is fab!

**Spider kids slippers Joules - They have limited sizes, but I’ve bought two more pairs for my kids for either this year or next, depending on how their feet grow!

Those slippers have free delivery via eBay! If you Google 'Joules eBay spider slippers you'll get to them.

Apologies for daft question but the joules show sizes s, m, l are they for kids? ... I don't get the sizing! Will they fit a 2 year old or an 8 year old?

Showing out of stock for home delivery unfortunately.

Some of the Hotel Chocolat Christmas range is out

If you use the code 'SUMMER9' you get 9% off and 'FREEDEL30' gets you free delivery if you spend over £30

The codes stack too.

I'm just waiting for an email back from customer service to see what the expiry dates are on the bits I want to buy.

@suddenlysusan thank you. Link led me to some slipper socks I'm both my kids sizes. 'Pocket' gives free delivery.

@starfishsleeper you can find details on sizing at bottom of page but xs said 8-9, so 10-11, m 12-13, l 1-2, xl 3-4 for the kids slippers

H&B update from here, 2 orders placed on Thursday night, one for the premium boxes and one for the £10 boxes, premium have been delivered today, £10 boxes not yet despatched, make of that what you will.

I was going to get a few of the boots beauty boxes, but the reviews say the vouchers in them have already expired. I would be worried it looked like I was regifting!

@Restlessinthenorth you could always take the contents out and use as separate stocking fillers, or rebox without the vouchers?

I collected my H & B £10 boxes from my local store yesterday ( were available on Saturday) , maybe home delivery has taken a back seat for some reason.

This author re-releases classics but adds a new detail about the character. Mr D'Arcy but addicted to vape, Dracula but he's a competitive runner.

Good stocking fillers £8-£11

Thank you @NoWordForFluffy was about to order those spider slippers through Joules and pay the postage. Ta ever so!

IWOOT has NASA sweatshirt and mug bundle deal for £15 - seems good value given the price of sweatshirts alone. May get that for my nephew link here

Has anybody seen any lovely and not overly pricey (looking at your £199 beauty and the beast one) toy tea trolley for a 3 year old please.

I've seen the Disney princess and frozen smoby ones on amazon but am not overly taken with it

Thanks @5Minions2CallMyOwn - I've also ordered the Snaffling Pig advent calendar and used your code. No clue where I'm going to store it for 3 months but at least it's sorted!

Forgot to say - cinnamon bun kits currently £3.08

@fuckingfuckssake that's exactly what happened to mine, £20 box delivered to store this morning, £10 one not yet dispatched. It was all supposed to be there by Saturday.

Love these threads have managed to get some great bargains over the years. And i do try and put up some bargains i have come across.

My DD this year would like an instamax and some lego friends . Is there ever any deals on the cameras i am aware that the paper is expensive.

My 9 yo DS doesnt want anything but i think he might like a telescope if anyone knows a good place to buy one.

My H&B £20 boxes arrived today
