Thread 10 - crushing grapes underfoot as we sprint towards Christmas

[UnaOfStormhold]

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

Free tickets to a new Xmas film with Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds :)

@namechange0998776554432 my son sounds similar to yours and he loves goo jit zu. They all have different things inside be it aquabeads/slime/water etc hes addicted to them. Great for imaginative play too as they have good guys/bad guys

Our ds likes stacking things and activities with an ‘end’ so things like jigsaws, marble run etc. Stacking cups and large playing cards which he could match or stack. Rockin’ Robot toy, (currently on offer at elc), dominos which he use to match numbers and create long lines.
How about a weighted blanket, Ikea spinning chair or one of the heated eye masks that lots of posters have mentioned?
We also had success with a trolley dolly cart which he happily wheeled himself about on.

Great, I will take a look thank you!

Thank you @boobybum , some great suggestions!

have just seen small hessian bags of ‘coal’ in home bargains (they’re bath bombs) for £3.99. I think it was a thread (or 3 back) when people were talking about bags of coal. The bags looked sweet but I have no idea what the bath bombs were like as on top shelf and didn’t get chance to have a proper look.

@redjoker thanks for the tips. Good to know different ways to search. I tend to look at the deals but so much on recently it’s hard going!! Bestsellers and vouchers are new to me so will look at them. I’m same never really know what looking for more taking chance on bargains when see them. Thanks for sharing the dots one!

Hurrah, got one this time! Thank you. Not heard of Vipon before. Is it all Amazon vouchers? The rest of the stuff on the home page is coming up in dollars, maybe I need to change a setting somewhere

Dobble- you can easily 'let' him find the matches before you. My DS10 with asd and adhd loves it- we have original, Minion and Harry Potter. And an Oodie- cosy and keeps him feeling 'safe' as he can bundle inside it. Squashmallows (or the Aldi/ Morrsison's ones) are popular here. At 6 my DS still loved Thomas the Tank Engine, so we got the metal trains and train set for older kids and he collected Thomas minis so lots of those and the matching electronic set that they whizzed around. He also loved electronic cars - light up being best.

Other than that it's only things for when he's older- a Switch lite; Querkle boardgame; Flags of the World board game, Exploding Minions game. Sorry I can't be more helpful, I know how hard it is.

My son loved things that spun so had something like www.argos.co.uk/product/9455797?clickSR=slp:term:gears:2:47:1this He's an adult now but it's still in the cupboard alongside the Marble Runs and his other treasured toys he keeps "for memories"

Are there any Boohoo/Debenhams codes about for sale items?

Trying so hard to distract myself and not order the corgi hoodie/Oodie!

Got the panda this time. Thanks! A panda oodie to go with it would be the business 🤣

Ooh he would love that, thanks!

Thank you @Puffalicious , very helpful! It is hard because it's somehow so much more difficult when you buy the 'wrong' thing and he never just gives a list of things he wants like my older girl does. Great to get suggestions from people so I can make a big list myself and whittle it down to what's likely to be the most successful! Hopefully this will give a few others some inspiration too.

As anyone found any discounts on CRAFTY PONIES?

if you subscribe to Schleich you get 15%

@Diddydog I was also looking for discounts on crafty ponies. I found a bit on discount equestrian but the pony was the wrong colour as I'm after the palomino.

There is also a 'learning resources' version of this. They do ones with lights etc

Are we missing @Reastie? I hope everything is OK.

Just picked up a Disney book advent calendar in H & B (similar to the gruffalo one) for £ 7.99

@namechange0998776554432 Don't know your budget but bought ours a gorilla gym at that age and it's still used daily now at almost 12. He uses the swing to regulate and the rings to flip himself over and over 🙃

Meant to say those who bought Harumika, Next do free fabric samples which are the perfect size.

@namechange0998776554432 check out Aldi for Goo Jit Zus - we bought a few at the weekend for a few pounds less than Smyths etc.

Yes just Amazon vouchers, change the flag at the top of the homepage to uk to see £.
They have a lot of junk but you can get the odd deal.

Anyone seen a bargain fondue set anywhere? But with good reviews. Preferably a red one.

ProCook has one for £45 and the code CARE10 will get you 10% off.
