Got a gift for DD in the Disney store outlet section- thanks to shared that yesterday.

Has anyone seen any LOL doll bargains? (littler ones not barbie size)
Either the dolls in balls or little furniture bits- possibly even a camper/ glamper!

Thank you.

I was wondering if anyone had spotted and magformers/Magna tiles offers? They are so expensive!

I have come across these unbranded
Magnetic Tiles on Amazon, £35 for a 100pc set seems like a really good price, but is there a huge difference between the big brands vs the cheaper ones?

Thanks for your help!

We have unbranded ones @MistyQuigley and they seem great!

Check Sainsbury's in store for LOL sale

Morning! Has anyone seen any deals on ice cream machines lately? I am hoping for around the £30-£40 mark. Saw one on Lakeland but a bit on the fence about it.

Also, does Lego ever go on sale? Thinking of it for an adult birthday at the end of the month - so it's very expensive 😳

I've bought loads of brand new lego off ebay recently, have a nosey on there. Getting it now for Xmas before the prices all increase!

Deal: LANGSHI Letter Blanket- Love Letter Blanket-Air Mail Blanket-Flannel Throw Blanket Gifts (To Daughter from Mum) amzn.eu/d/4mDqQ5A

just seen this blanket on amazon and thought that it could be a great gift. Sadly my daughter is too young still

Fabuleuse · 07/08/2022 15:07

@MistyQuigley we have had the Mag-Genius ones on Amazon in a similar price range for about 4 years and they have been great and still in perfect condition despite loads of use. We got a set that came with a lidded storage tub which is so handy. One of DS2's favourite ever toys.

templesit · 07/08/2022 15:08

@Moonshine5 thank you for the LOL doll response 😊

Unfortunately my sainsburys only have full price as other supermarkets by me but I'll keep a lookout thank you.

Moonshine5 · 07/08/2022 15:44

@templesit
Thinking about it, Argos are moving into Sainsbury's so they may be shifting stock.

That's a shame - supermarkets round here all seem to have toy sales atm

Moonshine5 · 07/08/2022 15:45

Amazon usually do a few good LOL sales prior to Christmas

ThreeRingCircus · 07/08/2022 15:59

For the PP asking about wireless earbuds I have these and they're great. The charge lasts ages too!

@ThreeRingCircus thanks for the recommendation - just bought as part of DP's gift. There was a 20% off voucher too!

Closerto40 · 07/08/2022 16:39

Argos toys 2 for £30 and 2 for £20 have some Lego sets!

CakeCrumbs44 · 07/08/2022 17:15

@StompyRompy if there's a particular set you're after, set up an alert from camelcamelcamel to tell you when it goes below a certain price. It only covers Amazon but they do often have discounts and vouchers even on Lego. It also shows you a graph of prices over time so you can see if the current price is reasonable.

Can anyone recommend a good brand for slipper boots please? I'm anticipating needing the warmth and spending alot of time on my bum feeding baby this winter so i think they would be a worthwhile investment. I will inevitably end up getting a second pair for mum for Christmas 😊 happy to spend a little bit if they don't go saggy if you potter about in them for a cuppa etc (I've had them before where the soles slip sideways after a while). Thanks 😊

Not cheap but Celtic and Co house boots are amazing (unless you're vegan!). I've had mine for 7 or 8 years now and they're still in excellent condition.

I've ordered lots of sets and always just go with the cheapest brand on Amazon!! They've always been compatible with each other.

I would be really, really careful with unbranded magnetic tiles from Amazon. It's highly likely that they don't conform to UK / European standards as the seller is based in China. Magnets can be fatal very quickly if swallowed and I would be very wary of a cheap toy that could potentially break and release the magnets.

@StompyRompy Aldi have ice cream machines ATM dunno if it would be any good for you but worth a look on their website

Jojo maman Bebe have the tonie starter set in their sale (15% off) and an extra ten per cent off your first order, haven't checked if that stacks but perhaps worth a try? Also a couple of characters reduced too

Yalz · 07/08/2022 20:37

@EverydayIsPJday , I ordered two of the Boots sets on Friday evening at about the same time as a couple of people were getting their cancellation notices.

Following @Restlessinthenorth ‘s suggestion I also ordered one of the £3 Ted Baker bags, which I noticed were still available at the same price on Saturday morning.

I’ve just received my cancellation email - for the Ted Baker bag. The Boots sets are on their way. How odd.

Thank you for letting me know the sets were available. They were back to £28 on Saturday.

VolcanicProtectorMan · 07/08/2022 20:42

Anyone got their Original Party Bag order yet? I ordered Thurs and got a confirmation email but when I click ‘view order’ it leads me to an error page 😫the website seems to still be functioning so I’m a bit worried now!
