We bought this and it's great marble run

Kids love it. Hope the link works ok

@Neednewfloor we've had two Galt marble runs and they're great and very sturdy

Thank you fellow mumsnetters, Christmas present shopping is finally done!! Just the wee bits n bobs for stocking fillers, some boxers for DS and 2 secret santas which I can't get as don't know who i'mm buying fir yet. But everyone else is done! Thank you for all the bargains! I now need to resist twitching!

Thank you, @minirollmuncher The BDAY50 is still working for 50% off at Hype

I can confirm that it still works on sale items, even the pencil cases which explicitly say that "This product is excluded from promotional activity."

I bought several things, including jogging bottoms for £5 and hoodies for £10, and a transparent plastic shopping bag apparently reduced from £9.99 to 50p.

Free postage over £40, but it looks as if there might be a return fee of £2.99 plus what it cost you to send it back.

Thanks for the Hype code

Any north face codes?

Disappointingly my Vans order from Tuesday was cancelled tonight.
I now need to find some t-shirts for a 12 year old who like plainer type clothes like Jack Wills - navy, burgundy that sort of thing. Not Hype, Nike etc. The trouble is said 12 year old is nearly 5'10 and probably a men xmall or small.

Thanks for the Hype code got some lovely bits.

I got my son a few tops like this from asos last year, I think they were actually top man. I waited for a great code and they were all really cheap.

Does anyone have a Dunelm code? Going to get my kids a cuddle cushion each

Is Hype only cool for teens or can adults wear it too?! (Wouldn't want to make it uncool and embarrass my child!!)

@Neednewfloor I've been recommended the vtech marble rush from mumsnetters. My son will be getting one for his 5th birthday

Thanks so much for the hype code! My daughter will squeel with delight when she sees the tie die tracksuit I got for under £20 delivered
Also thanks for character 20% off, I'm doing well today!

Any hotel chocolate codes please?

@chocolatepudandchocolatesauce I LOVE my Hype tracksuit I got last year. So so cosy. I think it's fine for adults to wear. Just made my second big Hype order of the year, got LOADS of clothing for DC and a lunchbox for DH for £70 so very happy with that. Previously bought rucksacks and lunchboxes for DC and several other friends DC I buy for.

Thanks for this 👍 also managed to find an unboxing video of a lucky dip bag on YouTube!!
Think I’ll go for it, not many sizes in boys so think I’ll have to gamble on XXS men’s… can’t make head nor tail of some of the sizing info tbh! But hopefully it’ll be the right size..!!!

@HarryPfabfan i got some of the harumika sets from bargain max that was recommended on here before and gave them to a 10 year old for her birthday last week.

The feedback I got was great, her and her friend played with it all night and again the next morning apparently.

Anyone looking at the typo sale, don't forget to go through too cash back - it's under cotton on rather than typo (is same company) and there is a typo option. 5% - it all adds up!

Top cash back.... autocorrect fail!

I think it'd be okay for certain adults- I'd wear one of their cosy tracksuits- but I wouldn't buy it for DS 18 and DS16. It's the kind of thing they wore at age 10-13.

It depends whether they're very stylish adults into their clothes- Hype is very in your face with it's branding.

Character.com has 20% off today only with code 20%OFF

Managed to get some lovely pjs & swim bags to put in with the kids stockings

Thanks for all the recommendations for towels, so much choice. I went with ASDA in the end as they had something to suit them all and free click and collect.

Does anyone have a recommendation for some real hot chocolate flakes? Preferably barginatious 😀

Spotted these Write your own Story books heavily reduced on Amazon today. They're an intro to creative writing for children. I've bought a couple for birthday - will be a good present with a set of pencils or similar.

Write Your Own Storybook

@Garysmum have you tried m&m direct the have lots of those sort of colours in their mens section

Hotel chocolate are my fav especially the salted caramel one but they are not barginatious 😅
