Thread 8 - the one with the giraffe toilet roll holder that

[Reastie]

@AnotherOne4, thank you for introducing us to something that sounded so wrong in the thread title. Also loved the review you shared:
‘ Not only is it decorative, but also quite heavy. If you had intruders you could take them down with this also. Multipurpose’

@aimslou my sister got her a 16" one for £23 I think. Her other 2 were from
Friends so I'm not sure where from.

@aimslou sorry meant to say the £23 one was from Argos

here they also have smaller ones for £12

I’m ordering some things from Shein - anyone got any tips on things worth ordering from the site? At the moment I just have a luggage tag in my basket.

I got Apple Watch straps from the site from my birthday for £3ish each, would really recommend!

I spent about £17 on there and got a shed load of earrings. Variable quality, but some are great and have received compliments

for the looking for squishmallows the website Mad4Toys seems to have some a bit cheaper 7.5" ones are £8 and there's a 20" one for £40. free delivery over £30
bit not bought from them before, can anyone recommend them?

The Beyonce perfumes are very cheap on Amazon. Very pretty bottles and the descriptions sound good so I've taken the risk for stocking fillers for teen girls.

@runningkatie

We have the Melissa and Doug one and it is lovely. Looks like it drops in price sometimes on Amazon. Bought ours a few years ago now but paid £17/18 iirc.

I posted before, but Costco have 16" Squishmallows for £15, which is a really good price.

@IDontDrinkTea

Thanks for the Debenhams heads up… have just ordered some lovely Christmas bed sheets!!

Me too, which one did you go for? I went for the festive town one.

sale at the Norse Nook

Scandi style clothing for adults and children

This is the clearance section, 30% is taken off of these prices at checkout so some massive bargains

Ahh Ewock thats a shame that the picture didnt work but it is definitely worth having a look there 😊

@RunningKatie

I'm on the lookout for a "massive penguin". I know Asda did one a few years ago, DS loves all things penguin and this is on his birthday/Christmas list. Any ideas please?

Can you adopt a real one for him?

How big is ‘massive’? Hamleys do a beautiful 60cm one.

Amazon also do Penguin beanbags!

Jellycat do lovely penguins - but not sure on size

Yes, we also have Big Boss Penguin, as he's known. He's fab! I paid £15.29 on Amazon in Sept 2016!

I ordered some lovely swimwear and denim shorts.

For dds for Christmas, ive ordered stickers, fidget toys, little bits for their room, cookie cutters, pin badges. Ive got my eye on some matching pyjamas for the christmas eve box too.

@PinkJam & @MydeamonsanOstrich - Magic tooth fairy game - my kids loved that game!

Anybody with kids who are soft toy mad like my DD - you need to get onto tik tok shopping! I've bought 4 so far 🙈 theyre all lovely quality and so so cheap. I'll try and attach a pic of 2 I received today, avocado was £2.12 including postage and the llama was £1.99. They're Chinese, so take a little while to come (10 days)

Just realised I sound like an advert but I promise I'm not, ha.

My son has decided he wants a ps5 🙄 now on the hunt for one lol

@TreaslakeandBack saw some Stranger things bits in TK Maxx but can’t remember what they were - maybe jigsaws.

@room4onemore if it helps at all I've been trying to find new Xbox series X. I managed to find them in stock in CEX 2nd hand with box but for about £200 more. Can't buy anywhere else new. However after selling my old Xbox and my PS4 to them for credit and some bits I had laying around in loft I got enough credit to buy it. It's an option at least for you if a CEX near you has the new ps5 in stock and you can get enough credit selling things to them you may have that your ds doesn't use

@Room4onemore i am also hunting a ps5 i believe game are getting stock early october

@RunningKatie

Another vote for the Melissa & Doug penguin - my aunt bought it for me a couple of years ago (I'm a huge penguin fan too), so I crocheted him a scarf and now 'Seb' (as he's named) sits in the conservatory. My nieces and nephews comment on him every time they visit!

£1.99 or £2.12 including postage.

There has to be something ethically wrong with that.
