@Crimsonbow I've just looked on the joules site. They haven't got them in mens but these womens black go up to a size 9?
In the men's section they've got something called grubs which may be suitable?

I have a code for £5 off £50 spend at Argos, runs out at midnight tonight, single use only!

sorry just to post here, would’ve sent it to someone who needed it by PM, but I’m away & might not get chance to check my phone much before it runs out!

Ahhh thanks anyway. Frustratingly the item I was looking at was £49.99 😁

@Petal7 thank you for the reminder about the works and the canvas idea, my two are still young but would love this!

Not Christmas but DH has his birthday soon and he'd like some decent wellies that are a bit shorter than the usual ones and comfier than his cheapie basic green ones. I have some hunter ones but they're expensive! Any ideas? I remember a site being recommended last year but was already sorted for him so didn't buy any.

These short wellies on Cotton Traders have good reviews

5poundstuff has arrived, all three adult sized furry hoodies are kudd.ly ones and the blue aged 2-4 one hasn't got a label, but is still lovely and snug. The navy one is incredibly thick and lovely x

Thanks i was swaying towards sainsburys as have a budget of £30 sp could get her 2 for similar price to one in disney store. I only have boys so never had to buy a princess dress before 😂

I was also going to agree with others on the sainsburys ones. They are lovely quality for the price. We have had a mixture of both over the years (2 girls here!) the moana and jasmine we have are from the disney store as sainsburys was all in one whereas the disney was seperare top and bottoms so closer to the actual costume! However the frozen ones were perfect from sainsburys. What I'm trying to say is look at the individual characters she wants and then decide!

Worth looking out for offers though, sainsburys often do a 25% offer on clothes and sometimes disney has them in the sale. Or even somewhere like ebay or vinted you can find some new with tags a fraction of the cost new.

Can I ask how big the 2-4 size ones are please? I have a soon to be 5yr old but he's very skinny and not that tall. They're out of stock in the 5+ size but I think it would be too big anyway.

Mrsfussypants1 · 11/08/2022 12:55

I highly rate the Matalan fancy dress costumes, especially the Anna and Elsa ones, definitely preferred them over the others I'd seen including the disney srore ones . Always a 20% offer floating around if your a member too.

sorryiasked · 11/08/2022 13:03

@mummyof2boys30 not sure if this is the exact same one but has measurements for comparison.

@Petal7 I have hunter wellies too but DH much prefers Dunlop wellies and they do calf length ones I think

WhyDoesItAlways · 11/08/2022 14:03

Anothe vote for the Dunlop calf length wellies. DP has them and finds them really comfy. They've lasted a winter of moderate use and going strong. I got them off Amazon for less than £20.

@TheresNoTelescreen did the 2-pack of sleep tees come individually packaged or together? I was hoping to split them in to 2 gifts but wondering if they will only come with one Oodie bow.

Crimsonbow · 11/08/2022 14:34

Thank you for the welly suggestions! I had a pair of Dunlops before and they were decent for the price. I have found some on a countrysidey website, with a discount code and bought him some Bogs. It's his only present so I wanted to splash out a bit (no pun intended!)

They came individually packaged with their own ribbons.

I can measure, if that helps?

Flubadubba · 11/08/2022 15:50

Body is 18" across
Shoulder to bottom is also 18"
Shoulder to end of sleeve is about 12".

My tall almost 3 year old is 3 foot 4 and skinny, and it looks right on her...if that helps at all?

Flubadubba · 11/08/2022 16:37

Hoping that helped! (All measurements are super rough as I only had a 30cm ruler to hand!)

Hi, I'm sure I didn't imagine it (Or see it on another thread?) but a PP linked to a oversized hoodie that did up at the front. I've been through the thread and can't seem to find it. The original PP was asking about one for her 83 year old relative. I'm looking for one for my mother. Thanks for any help.

I linked this one the other day

Thanks @Flubadubba I've measured DS and the length is fine but the arm length is too short (he's orangutan like I guess!) So thanks very much you've saved me wasting money! Gutted the 5+ is out of stock but you win some you lose some I guess.
