Evening all

@Ehunt1 oh no - I ordered the dinosaur domino's and was hoping to give them as a birthday gift.

I haven't spotted a refund yet - did yours come by email?

Try sports direct. That’s where we got one for DS last year.

Hi ,

For the poster who was looking for F1 clothing: I found a load in my local Costco. Pretty good prices

BigJigs have done wooden train bits in the sale a well as some dinosaurs and animals (like schleich but different make)
They also have some Lottie Dolls and clothes reduced

Yes DC have the pig and still play with it loads over a year later.

I'd definitely recommend especially reduced!

@Dkann How old are they please? I'm not sure if ds would be jealous if dd got one for Christmas. We do have birthdays a month later though.

What age is Victoria's Secret and Hype for please?

Thanks for posting this. It stacked with a 15% off kids nightwear sparks offer I had on the app as well. So I've just paid £27 for 4 pairs. Cheaper than Primark!

@Someaddedsugar yes I got an email from both PayPal and Stylishly party,

We got the pig for our daughter who was 7 last Christmas and it was all kicking off with the youngest so we got her one too for her birthday!

Deal: Super Mario 109231012 Yoshi Plush Toy 30 cm Dinosaurier,Mario 30CM Soft, Multi, Standard Size amzn.eu/d/iIKEpNr

Bargain Mario teddy on Amazon!

Melissa & Doug have one that might be suitable, I'm sure I've seen at a lower price, might be worth checking camelcamel

I’d say Hype is up to 10 years old. VS is 12 plus.

My teenage DD loves Elf - cruelty free and suitable for vegans too. Very reasonably priced and often with deals in Boots.

Fossil orders…My order was split for delivery, I received one item, the remaining 3 were due to arrive today. Email confirming delivery had been successful, opened my parcel and the box was empty!
Anyone else had this issue?

I came back on to look for the discount link for a starry style lamp? I've gone through the thread and done a search and can't find it! DD is really keen to make her bedroom into a relaxing and cozy area so a lively lamp would be different to the usual fairy lights.

Help!

I hope someone can help as I don't remember a starry style lamp being mentioned.

I also had to read twice as I thought you were asking for a Harry styles lamp..

@HappyLittleLentil page 7 and page 11 have links to star lamps

Hi all, I hope you don’t mind a quick off-topic warning to check the package carefully if buying the new iPhone 15 via Amazon.

A friend of my oldest DS just bought one - all packaged properly and sealed. When he opened it today, the phone itself had been swapped out for a cheap Chinese knock off - all the other stuff in there was genuine.

It had obviously been done at packing stage by staff and he is now in dispute with the seller.

If it had been me buying it for a Xmas present, it probably wouldn’t have occurred to me to open it to check, so thought I would mention it here.

Not a bargain but bought my first advent calendar today, getting in the spirit, I wish places would have their wrapping paper out. I use different paper for each kid so I know who’s is who lol

@Thelifeofawife
1 of 2 items from Fossil arrived at the same time as when they e mailed me to say they couldn't process my order as my address was incomplete 🤷‍♂️.

So other item must come from somewhere different?
But strange how my address was ok for the item I received.

Have to say though that the item I received (for MEEE!! 😁😁) was nicely packaged.

It was a bracelet clasped around a card, in a lovely bag and inside a tin which is perfect for weekend /holiday trips for jewelry storage.

I was very pleased .
Hope other item is not too delayed...it is for a birthday!

Thanks again to PP who mentioned Fossil.

Anyone seen any bargains for Yankee candle advent calendars? I always buy one for DF.

@User202242 I bought this a few months ago (full price) and 4yo ds finally has a comfort stuffy for cuddling every night! Just ordered the yellow for his stocking actually, he's mario mad!

@WimbyAce This is my fear - I was thinking of the lamb for baby girl (almost 2 at Christmas but loves caring for stuffies and her baby doll). But her big brother will be almost 5 and I fear may have some serious fomo. He's been a bit jealous of her baby doll (though has been offered one many times before in shops and never been interested), and we don't have any real pets due to allergies (mine).

I'm having to gift plan v carefully due to this kind of friction atm. She's already going to be crazy cheap for Christmas as she doesn't need anything due to big brother - a few elsa bits, a buggy and carrier for her baby doll.

Thank you so much @buttondown, those straighteners will hopefully help ds maintain Ihis rather wild mullet
