[UnaOfStormhold]

Looks like we need another thread so here goes. I'll stick the usual top of thread messages in a follow on post.

I have just spent ages shopping on Flying Tiger for little advent calendar bits / stocking fillers, then had £10 delivery put on at the checkout! This seems insanely expensive - is it a Brexit thing? Anyone know of any free delivery codes?

Thanks have ordered for the £9 will be ideal for the other dots set I got (I’ve had to resist the other one you linked 🤦‍♀️).

Can I ask a general Amazon question on prices. The above is showing at £17.99 still when I search then £9 when go into other sellers (but still sold and dispatched by Amazon). I’ve noticed this a couple of times. Any idea how I can get the cheaper prices showing without having to review each item? I usually search say “lego dots” then look for good prices but the above £9 deal was “hidden”.

I've bought other clothes from this site and although the tags are cut you can still workout which high street shop they are from. It's all old stock or seconds

Pets Alive 9521 Poppy The Booty Shakin’ Pug Santa, Interactive Animal Dancing Robotic Plush Toy Now £8.50

@MoveMore Its so hit and miss im afraid, I tend to trawl two pages, 'vouchers' and 'today's deals'. You often find bestsellers helpful, for example that dots set was in the craft bestsellers, I then click on and see if it has a sneaky hidden price.

Maybe theres an easier way but I havent found it yet, its a bit hit and miss sorry (it deffo helps if you know what you want but I never do lol)

Any ideas for a two year old boy who lives dinosaurs please?

Just seen an email from wonderbly with a discount code, MERRY takes £10 off.

Lakeland codes expiring in a few days, the cleaning cloths aren't very christmassy 😂 but if anyone can make use of 20% off the coffee making range then help yourself

Has anyone seen any s'mores kits with a candle? They all seem v expensive or the cheap ones look a bit, well, cheap!

Any ideas for 10 year old boy who is not into gaming and/or football?

The navy hoodie blanket I ordered arrived, it's a genuine oodie (I have others to compare it to and the label was only party cut). Very pleased 😀

My smashed Grapes boxes are on their way!

Tbh a little earlier than i anticipated! I may have to order more for actual xmas, the irony!

@redjoker thanks for the Lego hoodie link, ordered lots of items for Lego obsessed son, may have to return some as got over excited and spent an unbargainous amount in total 🤦‍♀️

My navy one is an Oodie too very happy at that. If the Otter one is a genuine Oodie too I will be delighted. Thank you to whoever gave the heads up.

@Yoyoyo1 not a candle but I got one from Etsy last year with one of them gel tins that you light? Came with all the kit for about a tenner, it was lovely.

also for my almost 10 year old I’ve got him a Fitbit and I’m getting him a metal detector

Same. I think with those voucher box ones they only have a certain amount available then they revert to full price

@Serenitesanta My grandson 3 has this and loves it because the jaw opens to eat everything

@Ruralretreating Ironically very rarely spend money, just enjoy encouraging others ;)

I use Bricklink they are like eBay for Lego. You can get boxed sets, spare parts and minifigs from sellers worldwide. It was recommended to me by a Lego staff member when searching for a replacement piece!

Having a look on vipon and they have the panda money box codes on - makes it about £5.60 codes are single use. 🐼

There's a Harumika single torso neon set reduced to £8.40 on Amazon

Has anyone got a personalised photo frame from somewhere that was decent quality and a good price? Lots on etsy but I would prefer a recommendation as I have found stuff on there hit and miss.
By personalised I mean I want 'first friends' and 2 names on the actual frame. It's from my DD to a baby friend who will be moving from foster care to a permanent home so we won't see any more. Therefore I do want something good quality that can be a keepsake.
If anyone else has a brilliant idea for a keepsake sort of present then let me know too.

Should have said budget of about £10-15

Received my 5 pound stuff hoodie today. I ordered the charcoal grey one it is wrapped with a cardboard sleeve saying Huggle hoody as seen on TV.
Seems like the same material and thickness as the sienna ones from amazon for same price.

Any great gift ideas for a 6 year old autistic boy from other SEN parents? Especially anything that you've found makes life easier for your autistic children! We already have blackout tent, body sock, various sensory toys. He can't manage anything with little pieces, or games he can lose at! Sensory things are great but messy so any ideas for engaging, emotionally regulating, non-messy gifts would be appreciated!
