Thank you so much for the ice cream ideas!
I've bought the Lego truck Grin the Melissa and Doug ice cream does look good so I'll be keeping an eye out for it dropping in price (I always want a bargain price thanks to these threads!)
Good tip regarding magazines, I hadn't thought of that thank you!

@NowWeAreSuckingDieselFella

Just got excited as they actually had the £7.50 chocolates in my M&S and the date on them was 28/09/21! Good job I checked!!

Looks like you'll have to eat them Grin

@Fishingforhappiness my DD will be 6mo too. We have gone for some bath toys, baby grows, vests etc, milk free choc buttons (has CMPA), toiletries as she loves a bath and massage, hoping to get a Christmassy flannel when they come out, books, toothbrush and paste (everyone gets this) and a cup

Toothbrush
Socks
Teething toy
Weaning bowls
Plastic cutlery

@AdamantEve

Holland and Barrett advent calendar is now available. I couldn’t get the 20% new customer code to work on it but can get 15% off on the app (new customer only I think) using code WELCOME15

Thanks for this. I loved the H&B advent calendar last year and they do sell out so have nabbed one early. I'd hate to miss out on it. WELCOME 15 on the App worked for me as well.

I've just seen this on HUKD .....the Sticky Toffee Caramel one is only £2.06 instead of £4.99.

Good for popcorn, ice cream etc so my be a good addition to a hamper, movie night box etc.

From the reviews it looks like they often drop in price so might be worth keeping an eye on if you want a specific flavour.

So sorry for your loss clpsmum Flowers

In a similar vein, just in case anyone is interested I have done something similar for my uncle who is a lifelong RNLI member

rnli.org/support-us/give-money/donate-in-memory/launch-a-memory

A lovely way to remember our loved ones I think.
