This looks like a good deal on Polly Pocket.

@InDreamland the adults sized vans are true to size but I think the kids ones are small. My daughter is a size 13 and she couldn’t get her foot in the lace up size 13 vans. Had to get a 1 instead.

Thank you

Second what @Ehunt1 said @InDreamland, I find the kids vans on the smaller size

Some of these watches have 90% off. I've just spent £250 on three watches worth near £3000

OMG have had something delivered from amazon today, looked like an empty flat package. Turns out all they have sent me is the cardboard thing that goes round it 🙈🙈 How on earth this got packed I have no idea lol!

They are a bit narrow but otherwise true to size. If you have wide feet you need lace-up ones so you can loosen them to make them comfortable.

Sorry if it’s already been mentioned but Argos have some half price playmobil sets

@coffeetofunction thank you, just bought one

Think those prices were incorrect, they sell them on Amazon for the same as the sale price!

I found them a little small/narrow and not very comfortable. I don’t have particularly wide feet. These were ladies and canvas style like converse.

Am I going mad?
It is Tuesday today right?

Probably a bit niche but if you’re looking to make Christmas gifts, like shower steamers or bath salts, then Nikura have got some essential oil offers on atm. I’ve used them before and the oils are good quality.

I’m going to make some festive bath salts as stocking fillers and also ones for me because I love a bath salt!

I thought it was just me 🙃

They often don't bother with £10 Tuesday if it falls after a bank holiday. Maybe due to staffing.

Oh I have to join this. I've got 2 little girls 3 and 6 and I've started picking bits up in the shops when I see them. Mainly stocking fillers at the moment but sometimes they can be hard to find!

I got these yesterday. The Barbie marshmallows were £1 I think from Home Bargains. The Barbie foil art £1 and squishy was £1.50 both from Poundland.

Thank you to whoever posted the vans extra discount code. Just got 2 pairs for £45. I was considering buying one of the pairs full price at £75 recently so I’m really happy.

Normally I wouldn't have been bothered about the lack of 10£ Tuesday, but I actually set an alarm for 3am so I could try and get hold of the elusive illuminated mirror 😂

@tedybear thanks so much for sharing. I also have two girls (5 and 3) so please let me know if you find any other bargains! I’ve just been looking at second hand Barbie dream houses today (they are sooo expensive new)

I’ve got an Argos Designafriend doll put away for my DD. Just bought a couple of bargain outfits for it too:

https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9555903?clickCSR=slp:cannedSearch matching hat and bag for DD and doll (hope the hat fits her massive head though).

There are others if you search eg a gymnastics set

@tedybear I just saw some very sweet Little Mermaid hair clips in Primark that would a perfect stocking filler. I only have boys to buy for sadly, but always clock the pink sparkly things 😆

This looks a good price for someone little, considering the individual prices. Especially compared to last years city lego fiasco!

Lisa Angel has 20% off with SURPRISE20. It ends tonight though.

I'm a soap maker and use Nikura oils all the time as they are lovey and really good value (especially when they have offers on)

@Blessedbethefruitz i got that last year for £24.99 from boots. They don’t have it it’s year, but it was really good. Be warned though, you have to individually put all the animals into the boxes. I didn’t realise this until I took it out on the 1st.
