Don't mind at all!

His big present is a high spec mountain bike (it's his thing- and we sold his other bike before buying this one 2nd hand). It stilll cost a lot, so was chuffed to get Urban Outfitter's at sale prices so he has things to open tomorrow.

He has New Balance Trainers / Adidas tshirt (quite arty)/ Adidas coloured socks/ a fleece shirt with a sweatshirt hood/ Black Panther Lego/ new funky bike pedals.

My sister bought him fur-lined Crocs 🙉. He loves them!😄

@Holidayqueen1 - perfect - thank-you

Any good sites to buy vinyl cheaply?

Anyone know where to buy rugby tops cheaper than £60 😱

What sort of rugby top are you after? @dizzygirl1 ?

England small mens ideally. But they are just so expensive for DS13.

Beginning to panic, I'm normally done by now and I have got nothing!

The lego DS asked for isn't in sales or is retired, DD doesn't really want anything.
Arrrggghhh

I can't remember who was trying to get Peter Kay tickets but he has released 56 more dates, mainly 2024. I just tried the link out of curiosity and got straight through to purchase some.

Which Lego set is he after? There's some quite unusual ones (from authorised sellers) on EBay and there's 20% off some sellers this weekend too.

Lego architecture Tokyo 21051 looked on bricklink but with P and P is scary money.

Lego jurassic world 76951 might bite at £35 on amazon, not sure if it will be cheaper on BF

Lego speed champions Mercedes F1 76909

In a 'I have nothing and we're hurtling to Christmas ' panic 🤦‍♀️
This is why I normally shop early!

@Puffalicious where did you get the stranger things print if you font mind me asking?

@minirollmuncher John Lewis don't do money off codes as far as I know. Best wait till Black Friday for a bargain instead.

Spanish food

Brindisa have 15% off for new customers
Also like Sous chef for interesting foods

Lovely! Just ordered, thank you 🙂

@dizzygirl1 rats, the seller I got mine from yesterday has every architecture kit other than Tokyo. I'll keep looking for you and see if I can find it anywhere today. I've got a DH, DB and DSIL who all ask for Lego so I've become quite adept at finding it 🤣

@Soscrewed do you know if this is a little one or large one?

Someone of the previous thread was looking for a Goose and Gander code. I couldn’t find one but I did leave an item in my cart overnight and woke up to a 15% discount code so if nothing else, might be worth doing that?

@Travelplans the dimensions on the listing show 30cm by 20cm

@ThreeB which seller do you use on eBay? Am looking for the Star Wars at-te but it’s mainly full price or not much off in all the main shops.
thanks

Thank you! We've vaguely looked at it before and of course he added it to his list this year and its no where to be found...or £80....
I begrudge paying full price for lego at the best of times let.alone extra! 🤣

Thanks for new thread !

@lockdownbride where did you order your oodie from? Sorry I have missed that post. Thanks

Can anyone recommend a good board or card game for DS 10. He likes uno and snakes and ladders and connect 4. Has dyslexia so nothing too difficult

I decided to buy a switch for my girls but I know nothing about them as I’ve never bought anything similar before. If anyone sees a good deal would you please let me know? Thank you

I just wanted to say that Fenwicks saved my Lego Christmas on Black Friday a few years back. DS wanted the Apollo rocket ££££££ everywhere. Got up in the middle of the night to buy it from the Lego store on BF and the codes wouldn’t work as the store crashed online.
Next day found it on Fenwicks loads cheaper in their sale , free delivery and a voucher for further discounts. So grateful. Came in a lovely Fenwicks box too.

How weird, if you copy the link and paste it, it goes to the uk site….
