Hope everyone is okay with me starting this new thread off. Thread 1 is at 992 so thought best get a new one up and running so we don't miss any bargains.

With thanks to @sideorderofchips for all your work keeping these prequel threads going. Hope everything is okay and you'll be joining us again soon to reclaim your fab threads.

The prequel threads are kept going through the year in the run up to @reastie taking over for the Christmas bargains threads late summer/autumn.

My 5 year old mentioned the blooming Guinea pig toy yesterday. Before I consider it, is it worth it? Was there any places last year that had deals on then?

My daughter got it last year. She loves it. She opened the top and saw the babies before they dropped so she was aware of the set up. She still played with them now and we often put the babies back in the box and let her give birth again. I’ll sometimes put an extra little surprise in there for her to make it a bit more exciting.

I can see how other children might be underwhelmed with it though.

Just for balance, out of my daughter’s friendship group of four, who all got the Guinea pig toy, she’s the only one who still plays with it.

There's a bunny and mouse version now-for £19.99, smaller but same idea.. might do?

Barbie plane is under £40 on Amazon, good price according to CCC

@PumpkinSpicedTea definitely look on eBay and fb marketplace for the Guinea pig. I know I’m going to sell ours at some point before Christmas and I’m sure others will do so too.

My DC really enjoyed the surprise and didn’t work out the mechanics for ages 😂

Thanks everyone, was thinking I'll look at Facebook etc for one if that's the surprise 😂

@PumpkinSpicedTea sorry forgot to tag you earlier. They have a bunny and mouse surprise mama toy now, which is smaller, but £19.99, surprise seems the same-babies dropping from the roof, so might do instead.

@villamariavintrapp I'll have a wee look thanks! I don't think it has to be the guinea pig Grin

Tinc scented sweetie highlighters are on offer for £3.20. I've bought loads of these over the years for party bags and sticking fillers. I even have some myself (stationary obsessed child that never grew up)
