Does anyone know if Sports Direct have the Avocado Smash game and other card bits instore or is it online only? There's a few bits on there my DD would like but £4.99 to collect in store is really steep!

YesIcan3 · 10/09/2021 14:21

Thank you @Councillorbrian I got the archery set for £13.99 I'm sure it will make a nice something for my boy also to @Queuing4Fergs I added a fortnight cushion too! NERF SETS are £8.99 nice little aldi basket coming my way Grin

Councillorbrian · 10/09/2021 14:27

@yelscan3 ooo interesting. Did you get it in store for £13.99? I saw it was that price online, but in store I was charged £19.99!

I've messaged Aldi to ask why but no response yet. Still better than the £40 at decathlon!

AlvinSimonTheo · 10/09/2021 14:31

Thank you to whoever posted the Hot Diamonds codes I bought gifts for both my mil and best mate and they have arrived today in very impressive packaging and look like I spent a lot more than I actually did - I am most pleased Grin now trying to decide whether or not to buy myself something too lol

My H&B boxes are here too, contents differ from the pictures on the website but they're excellent value for money so it's fine.

Iknownothing · 10/09/2021 15:13

Thanks for the fish tank Lego tip - got one this morning! Didn’t see it on the shelf but happened to glance up and saw one on the top storage shelf - grabbed it for £18 - perfect for dd.

ItsAllBlahBlahBlah · 10/09/2021 15:14

My playhouse has just arrived. Really pleased albeit the communication from dobbies is very poor

FiloFaxx · 10/09/2021 15:16

I'm still waiting on my H&B boxes and had no email other than when I ordered them so 🤞 I'll get the if I wait patiently 🎅

Daisy829 · 10/09/2021 15:30

Found this ipad wall storage on amazon with 8% off so down to about £15. DD is forever throwing her iPad, phone & remote on the bed so hopefully this will solve that problem.

BargainBet · 10/09/2021 15:43

Also got the playhouse today!

And another thanks for the hot diamonds code, needed an 18th gift and got a lovely one! Super quick delivery too!

Mipe · 10/09/2021 15:54

Candy Kittens have a nice looking advent calendar in the shape of a tree for £12, great for vegetarians! They have free delivery over £20 so I’ve ordered some sweets for DD’s stocking as well Smile

daisyboo1 · 10/09/2021 15:57

Thank you @Theimpossiblegirl just bought the fire pit - exactly what I wanted but hadn't even started looking for yet!

Thanks for the tip. This set is on 2 for £15 in Argos, but I couldn't see anything else I wanted!

Thanks also for all the game ideas for my 5 year old. Some we've already played, but I do have 8 new items on my wish list. I'll consult the Camels and Google later 😊

lexloofah · 10/09/2021 16:17

@Tinysnickers we love Sleeping Queens too, have never come across anyone else who has it, we received it as a gift a few years ago and it has become a favourite, a firm recommend who whomever was asking

Inkjoy pens have arrived earlier than expected, they look cute, thank you

In the spirit of being organised I have ordered a storage case for our many rolls and odds and ends of wrapping paper, ribbon, tags etc, no link as not necessarily a bargain, just me loving a bit of organisation and no else would understand quite like you lot

Daisy829 · 10/09/2021 16:21

Also purchased the portable fire kit. Looks great for DH. He’s defo done now.
