I love the bargain threads but wondered if we could start one specifically for kids toys and presents ideas, i can start with a few:

Rainbowcorns collectable eggs 20% off

@Devo1818 have you shopped around for the barbie food truck? I think sainsburys claim of full price being £100 is them being slightly creative with numbers...

I found the same one in Argos for £115 so seems legit! Unfortunately all sold out in my Sainsburys now...

Archery set reduced from £19.99 to £6. Got one for my son hopefully useful for someone else

SpamIAm · 23/10/2022 09:03

Ah looks like there's a newer model that's the more expensive one @Devo1818 If she'd be happy with the older purple one you might find that cheaper somewhere?

Upsadiddles · 23/10/2022 14:48

If anyone is on the look out for the Rainbow High Avery Styles studio set I’ve just picked one up in store in Morrisons for £30. Cheapest I’ve seen it before that was £49.99 in Smyths.

Pokémon volcano carry play set. Currently £20 on Amazon. It's £39.99 in smyths. I used a £7 click & collect promotion so bargain at £13

mybrainisbusybeingawesome · 24/10/2022 19:02

Baby born website is doing the advent calendar half price for £20 (& free shipping). I had to find a Christmas character on the website and click on it which applied the discount. Was pretty easy to find and not time consuming as I expected.

I saw the shopping game and thought that was a good deal. Magic maths has been £5 for at least the last year.

Great thread idea

We have a load of stuff to get from smyths - does anyone think there will be any decent discount codes or sales coming up?

Hibbutyhop · 24/10/2022 20:28

Any advise about The Entertainer and their ‘Jacks Birthday Club’? I’ve got a basket of things ready to purchase and have put in a birthday date that should be 3 weeks today (after creating an account yesterday)- no discount code emailed yet and I’m desperate to get it all ordered!

SpamIAm · 24/10/2022 20:36

@Hibbutyhop I've never had a voucher come through, but if you contact them they should send it through (as long as you added the child more than 3 weeks before the birthday).

Adelais · 24/10/2022 20:48

I never seem to get the Jacks birthday club emails with the code for some reason even though I’ve double checked I’ve enabled emails. I contacted them and they gave me a code though so try that if you don’t receive it.

OKScarpetta · 24/10/2022 21:08

Thanks @mybrainisbusybeingawesome
I have just ordered a Baby Born and a Baby Annabel advent calendar for my girls! I was so pleased there are 2 different options. Took less than a minute to click on a character, delivery also free!

SophieTheGuineaPig · 25/10/2022 10:12

Guys, I'd like to buy some Happyland stuff for my DD. Should I expect any decent discounts around Black friday or before Christmas?

17caterpillars1mouse · 25/10/2022 10:33

Happyland is almost indestructible and often for sale on Facebook marketplace and the like for amazing prices still looking brand new just without the box. I would personally pick it up secondhand as you will get so much more for your money.

The happyland fairy sets have been very popular in out house and my 6 year old still gets it out often (maybe once a fortnight) to play with

SophieTheGuineaPig · 25/10/2022 12:06

Thanks, sadly not in the UK and it's not a brand that's too popular around here. So I'm stuck with official retailers - hopefully Amazon or ELC will have some discounts.

BeastOfBODMAS · 25/10/2022 14:49

@Hibbutyhop i signed up 2 weeks ago for a birthday 3 weeks from today and the code came through first thing this morning no problem.
Maybe you need to pick a birthday 3.5 weeks or so away - as I expect the emails/codes are generated in a batch run rather than individually as you sign up

They often do 20% off which stacks with the jacks birthday code

Can anyone help with Barbie clothes? They seem expensive but the amazon bundles look like they might fall apart!

Last year I got lucky at an NCT sale with a bundle, but I also got some new outfits discounted to a really good price at The Entertainer in the run up to Xmas. I'm scouting for this again this year too as we really don't need any more dolls or massive cheap plastic sets (we actually have very few of the latter, but even a couple is too much IMO!), but DD2 will be disappointed to not add something new to her beloved collection. If I spot anything this year I'll report back!

Scanner20 · 26/10/2022 09:18

@SkankingWombat I have seen some in Argos, 4 outfits for £20 in the buy two for £20. Still feels a lot to spend. It's annoying that a barbie with outfit can be cheaper than the outfits! I saw symths so a little pack of shoes. I don't want a pile of dolls, each set comes with more dolls too. Thank you

BusterGroove · 26/10/2022 09:45

@OKScarpetta how did you get a Baby Annabell advent calendar? I can only see the baby born one and the 43cm clothes don’t fit our Annabell!
