(this thread has heavily influenced my christmas shopping over the last few years)

They are only currently selling the Non cashmere ones on there. I am checking every day to see if they upload some cashmere ones. It was exactly this time last year that they posted them (I was the poster on here who alerted last years thread)

I've just seen a dinosaur calendar on Brand Alley. It's Playmobil though, so maybe small parts.

Thanks I'll check it out ^^

Someone was on about a fidget advent calendar, there are a few on amazon. Also noticed a rubber duck advent calendar!

Baker Ross have a 20% off bank holiday sale if anyone is looking for craft stuff for kids

Kids can’t wait for Christmas already lol. Although my family are lucky to be fortunate, it will be interesting to see how the cost of living affects families this year. Sad times we are living in really!

Burts bees vanilla cracker down to £3.40
as well

For those of you with tweens I've found this site selling nails wraps.
You get 10% off your first order and another 5% if you sign up to texts which makes them quite reasonable. (way cheaper than Claire's)

Be careful if you’re looking for Turtle Doves seconds fingerless cashmere gloves on eBay without a link from @RainbowZebraWarrior .

The heading for this listing is “Factory Seconds Cashmere Fingerless Gloves From Turtle Doves” with the location given as Wakefield, United Kingdom, but when you scroll down you read that the gloves are made from cotton and the business address is in China.

There are several listings with the same or similar headings, some with the same photo, and cheaper but with locations in China.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll wait until Monday and If still no movement I'll contact them, I'm desperate to know what's in it

Highly recommend these! I use them on my own nails.

@NigelTheCrab
Glad you recommend. I've ordered some for myself to try too.

Expensive gifts but worth keeping an eye on if someone would like a bag. I have been watching this one for a couple of months and is the cheapest I have seen it. May come down more of course.

@Meifly this was for you I believe

Did anyone order anything from Pound Toy after it was mentioned on the last thread? I ordered last Friday and haven't heard anything since.

some reductions on Bakugan in The Entertainer. Not online though x

Not a bargain, but if anyone sees any pink Christmas wrapping paper, I would really appreciate if you could let me know please.

Pink Christmas wrapping paper is what my youngest says she is asking Santa for!

Does anyone remember if brio advent calendars go on sale at all? We're planning a joint gift of a huge train set and a couple of rc trains (brio/bigjigs/other compatible) for both kids. The city lego one last year was disappointing (playmobil farm from 2 years ago is still played with).
