Does anyone have any ideas for a main present for an 8 year old boy. He's doesn't need a bike and we have PlayStation, set itch and iPads they all have access too

Someone who got Joe&Sephs sticky toffee sauce, please tell me where I can see the expiry date is!?

My brain seems hibernating...🤦
I can only see this sticker at the bottom.

Sorry if someone has already posted but Yorkshire wildlife park have their winter illuminations tickets up for sake from today.

Went last year and it was amazing

@VeruccaSalty I bought a happy napper for DD last year and I wouldn’t recommend it at all. Its very small, thin and 2 of the poppers fell off after one use. Definitely spend your money on a decent sleeping bag instead.

WhyDoesItAlways · 16/09/2021 16:44

@Gimmemoredonuts mine had the date on that label you're looking at. Got one with a date in November but figured it's mostly sugar so hoping it will be fine for Christmas Eve movie night popcorn!

WhyDoesItAlways · 16/09/2021 16:46

@Gimmemoredonuts sorry was a separate label on the bottom

@WhyDoesItAlways
Ahh thanks. I wonder if someone in Amazon took it off after several people complained about short expiry date.Hmm

I bought it for myself to indulge so it's not a big problem. Like you said, probably it would last long time unopened! Thank you.

Any ideas for son (33) only comes back to the uk for Christmas so can’t do big things as they’re just left here for 10 months and can’t take too much back with him? Very sporty. Ta

Depending on how long he's back for could you get tickets for an event here? Football match, comedy night, theatre ...depends what he's into

Just rang our Home Bargains to check on the pumpkin jars again, the man said that they're only going to be stocked in the extra large stores and smaller stores won't be getting them at all ☹️ I asked him what our closest extra large store was and he said Washington (31 miles away!)

@fuckingfuckssake I can't get it to work... It says you've referred me but won't give the 20% at the checkout. 😭

Can anyone recommend a good remote control car please? Ideally one that goes on grass / uneven paving slabs if such a thing exists as there's not much indoor floor space.

Billyandemily · 16/09/2021 18:22

Can't seem to tag sorry but to the person looking at happy nappers. I was looking at them last year and went for sleeping bags called frolics from tkmaxx instead. They are still going strong a year later. My 8yr old uses hers all the time. There are quite a few on there website now.

Ah sad to have missed Exploding Kittens they are on my dd's list! I didn't get a CCC notification either so maybe it was a glitch, excellent bargain for those that grabbed them.

Carrie76 · 16/09/2021 18:33

@Scout2016 my ds has a Nikko remote control car. His exact one isn’t on amazon anymore but if flies around inside and out and over longish grass too. I’d imagine their other models are as good

Carrie76 · 16/09/2021 18:33

@NightOwl19 by ds was 8 last Christmas and got a hover board with go kart attachment it was a massive hit!

Chad Valley Tots Town Safari Train Playset is reduced on clearance at Argos to £10. It looks like brilliant value for money if your little one likes trains and safari animals! And has good reviews

Thanks everyone as ever for all the great bargains!
I’m thinking about advent calendars, I have a 3 year old son and i think I’ll get him the paw patrol one with the figures.
My daughter is 6, she doesn’t want the Lego friends one and isn’t really into little toys any more (LOLs, hatchimals etc) she quite likes stationery, is it Tinc and Smiggle I’ve seen discussed on here in previous years?
Thanks for any guidance!

@Cloud1921 is there a special code for this that I am missing somewhere, I keep adding the tickets but they are showing at full price?

Apologies just realised what you wrote! Blush
