Thread 3 - the one with the speedily written title

[Reastie]

It's early September and we're already on thread 3 - wonder how many threads we'll get to this year! Any bets? Mine is 29!

If you have a referral link for a website, do post it on this thread

See post 2 for some (hopefully) useful links.

Alrighty, what does she like and what’s the max spend? X

@ScarlettDarling if I see it drop again I'll tag you ASAP.

Yankee countdown ordered. Also got 3 of the countdown to NYE skincare gifts. Great gift for a fiver.

There were lots of bomb cosmetics reduced too, make your own and a Noah's ark themed one.

I thought the same which was my reasoning for buying it for myself. However, its not really a countdown like a calendar....there's just the numbers on the front of the box but when you open it, its one big set.

@Deckthewallswithpaintandplaydough Peppa, hey duggee, horses, almost anything 😂 I would say max of 10-15.00... Thanks

@Raindancer411 would this be any good

Peppa Pig Book Advent

A few options:
Hey Duggee
Gruffalo
Peppa Pig

all under £15, but they are all book ones, if you want something different then I would be delighted to have a look x

This one is £21 but it’s play dough and it has a decent amount of different things x

@Raindancer411 I bought 2 year old DD the Peppa Pig Calendar last year and she loved it. We still have all the books and read them often. Great value for money

Thanks all, I shall have an investigate later once she is in bed. Love this group 😆

@Raindancer411 this one is over budget but if you wanted toys not books it might work

Peppa Pig

Rubber duck calender was really popular here last year, still being played with now.

@Raindancer411 over budget but there is a duplo one this year, I think I saw it on the Lego site xx

Not sure if this has been linked to before, but Mango outlet has some great discount on clothes, especially kids stuff. It’s good for accessories too like this reindeer headband:

@TamSamLam could you please tell me more about the rubber duck calendar? My DD will be 2 and she's obsessed with "quackers" so it would be perfect for her!

This is such a good buy. I’m sure I paid £10 for it a few years ago. My son loves it - we re-use it each advent and also read the stories through the year.

TREAT10 gets you £10 off a £40 spend at hype

@LiamNeesonIsADerryGirl I don't buy them, but it's the one below although will have been bought elsewhere
They like doing hide and seek with the ducks, and they're a good size for small people to carry a few around whilst not actually getting lost.

My Burt's Bees crackers arrived. 3 out of 4 were torn 🙄 Back they go. Hopefully the replacement ones will be ok.

Oh really?l?? She would love that as it's similar to her brothers "Lego" lol

@raindancer411

Not in budget BUT it is on offer and this has been my favourite advent calender for longevity. Ours comes out, and is played with still, every Christmas.

Did you have to send them back? One of mine was torn and they just sent a new one and didn't want the other back...

Ohhh she loves her happyland. I wonder if I can get a 20% code off in time before the price goes up??

So many choices I may get a few and put away 😂

@Raindancer411 I couldn't see an option not to send it back. How do I do that?
