@NisekoWhistler and @Someaddedsugar thank you both! I'm heading out my county tomorrow so am going to see of there's a Sainsburys en route, buy if I have no luck, I'd take you up on your kind offers 🙂

Can I ask about oodie type hoodies/blankets!
They all seem very long, does anybody make a shorter length? I'd love one for my mum who is 5ft but has mobility issues and walks with a walker so it can't be anything too long for safety reasons

Next do ones for kids and the age 11-13 fits my similar sized mum fine. Would be ok if she's a slim(ish) build - I'd say up to a size 10-12.
They're called fleece ponchos at Next but they're oversized hoodies.

Yes my kids have the next ones. They are to their knees. We also have Amazon ones. Mine is just below the waist.

I'm not going to be able to get there until after 430 tomorrow as I'm working I really hope they still have some 🤞 dd would be so excited about another dino!!

Fingers crossed 🤞 for you. We tried 3 different stores before we were lucky enough to find this big one. I think all the stores did definitely have the other two you were after still in them though. Hopefully you'll be in luck.

Dunelm do a shorter teddy fleece. I have one (am 5 foot 2) and love it. A long one would be no good for me

Think it’s under teddy hoodie

Does anyone know if primark have their Christmas pyjamas in store yet?

I saw a few designs intermingled with their other PJs yesterday but no dedicated Xmas PJ display as such.

Ziggerty · 17/10/2022 08:16

Thanks @elevenplusdilemma I'll hold off on making a trip yet as I'm after the family matching ones!

Lovemusic33 · 17/10/2022 08:26

My local primark had Xmas pj’s in last week, I went in looking for the ‘nightmare before Christmas pj’s’ but they didn’t have any 😩. I am going to check a bigger Primark this week whilst on holiday.

DamitJamit · 17/10/2022 08:30

Has anyone seen anything like the oodies but without a hood? My mum won't wear one with a hood but could do with something warm. Thanks

PumpkinSpicedTea · 17/10/2022 08:32

Does anyone know anything about Happy Nappers? They seem expensive but my 5 year old is consistent in asking for months. Do they ever go down in price?

UrbanMage · 17/10/2022 08:59

I think the true question is what do I want for Christmas? DH (after saying "I thought we weren't buying anything for each other") has asked what I would like.

I actually don't know!

Favouritefruits · 17/10/2022 09:00

@PumpkinSpicedTea I bought my nephew a happy napper for his birthday, he’s a tiny four year old and the 3-6 was way too small for him, his mum said he hasn’t used it so think it was a waste of money to be fair, I’d maybe get a cheap knock off if he’s definitely wants one but at £40 really not worth it.

I went on Primark website yesterday to see what Christmas stuff they had and there was a store stock checker on the items I looked at so might be worth checking there before travelling.

mac1974 · 17/10/2022 09:24

@PumpkinSpicedTea I got one for my 8 yo DD last year but she never uses it. If your child is a girl and would like a cat one I'll happily gift it to you if you cover postage xx

RainbowPhilosophy · 17/10/2022 09:47

Does anyone know how long the Jack's birthday club codes take to come through please? I have 2 birthdays and Christmas to buy for so have a basket of stuff, have added the child (30 Oct birthday) and haven't had an email. I'm probably being impatient but I'd just like to get these things bought before they sell out. Thanks

psuedocream3 · 17/10/2022 09:59

@RainbowPhilosophy My august birthday ones have only just come through yesterday. It's supposed to be three weeks before the childs birthdsy though.

mac1974 · 17/10/2022 10:04

@RainbowPhilosophy you can message them they have a live chat function on their website. This is what I did when I had a problem with my code.

@mac1974 that is so so kind of you but it is the unicorn one she has mentioned. I'll maybe ask again and let you know 😂 That is really thoughtful 😘 such kindness xx Would you say the sizes are small as well?

mac1974 · 17/10/2022 10:15

I got the larger size for my 8 yo & it's fine. I can't remember what sizes they were to be honest. I can send you a pic later to have a look at if you like & if it's any good let me know x

PumpkinSpicedTea · 17/10/2022 10:28

That would be great thanks @mac1974 I've sent you a PM 😊

PeachTea1 · 17/10/2022 10:43

Was the Sainsburys toy sale worth it / still on?
Wondering if I should pop down today.
