Thread 5 - the one where I saw 999 and panicked!

[Notlongnow1]

Hopefully @Reastie will be along to add all the necessary info!

In case anyone wants to chance it (I just did ) DMHYPE15 gets you 15% off at Hype, including the lucky dips. I ordered age 13 for my 11 year old as Hype sizing is pretty small.

Thank you for the Fossil tip. Got DH a wallet for under a tenner and free delivery. Amazing!! Gutted I missed the Aldi pirate swing as my boys would have loved that!

LEGO Ocean Explorer Submarine set is down to £12 from £24 on Amazon.

Also...a bit of nostalgia....Pound Puppies Newborn is a nice stocking filler at £6.47

Sylvanian families Persian Cat Playset is £14.99 reduced from 20£

I've been watching the Sylvanian family baby amusement Park for a few months and finally purchased it yesterday from Amazon for £38. Its for dds 3rd birthday on boxing day. It usually retails around £50 and I doubt it will drop much lower as it was only released a few months ago. Comes with a cute baby panda :)

It is free to be an H&M member, which gives you free delivery.

H&M always has lovely children's pyjamas (up to 10 years old).

I like Primark pyjamas too but I do not live near a Primark

Does anyone have any good recommendations for Build a Bear clothes, non branded is fine?

@Summerbreeze4 you can choose how often and how you get paid. I choose BACS, but you get paid by vouchers and points, I think. People usually use both places. I find Topcashback has more retailers and Quidco has better random offers.

Popped to hobbycraft today they had some large colour in canvasses for £6, sketch books half price, art caddy down to £7.50, set of small craft draws £10 which I thought would be nice on DDs desk for hair bobbles, clips etc although I then popped to the range and they had one very similar for £3.99 although it was a bit smaller & the colours weren’t as vibrant.

Just had an email to say there's 35% cashback with Quidco at Dorothy Perkins and Burtons, who also have discounts on-site. Might be worth a browse? It does say max cashback is £20 (so I guess a max spend of about £60ish to get cashback on it).

Just got a fossil wallet too, thanks for the tip!

@IggyAce thank you for the sloth colouring book, it’s perfect for my best friend. We don’t really buy Christmas presents but usually like to swap a wee daft thing at a couple of pounds (something we know the other will use and love not tat!)

Hype is terrible- you have to pay for returns even when items are damaged. They point blank refused to send a return label- in the end I had to pay to send it tracked.

Just looked at my emails- 7 weeks to get a refund and multiple emails.

The prices quoted before discount are fiction- look on amazon for actual prices

@queenofelves @pinkdaydream - I've just been into Asda and they had the wooden doll's house in and it was £40.

Iwoot currently have got some discounts on Lego sets. They're not the generic build ones, could be worth a look. Just had the email.

Was just in our small asda so took some rollback pics. Nothing too impressive as far as I could see, apparently that big generic lego set is half price at £25

Last pic

Yesbebe have a sale on

Lots of children's books and toys, including tones box figures, play tent, toy kitchen accessories etc

Lots of beautiful needle felting, crochet and cross stitch kits in their craft sale too

@Daisy829 does she have riding lessons or have a horse? I love nothing more than spending money on horsey things

Haven't had a chance to check in for a few days so just been through 25 pages of bargains! Mostly resisted hut did get the gin pack 12 for £12, Thank you to who posted that. I also received one of my H&B boxes Thursday and have had an email saying the other 2 are coming today so 🤞

Build a Bear have up to 50% off in final clearance link

@Fueledwithfairydustandgin she has riding lessons & we are looking at doing a loan but it’s more caring/grooming for the horses. Any ideas on bits I could get her would be amazing.
I wish we could afford her a horse. Maybe one day (if we win the lottery!)

Beware Fossil. Only 4 of my 6 items have shipped and only the option to ‘return’ the two items which haven’t shipped. How can you if you haven’t got them?

@Wolfcub

I had enchanted forest as a kid 40 years ago and loved it. It looks exactly the same so going to buy it for my niece I think

I had Enchanted Forest as a child too, and got a new one last Christmas for DD - she loves it too! Well worth getting!

Should have looked at this before ordering... uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.fossil.com

I think what I thought was an excellent bargain will be turning into a headache.
