I'm going to be getting my youngest a tonie box bundle. We got one previously for my eldest and I can't remember whether Amazon prime included it on prime day or if we waited til Black Friday. Amazon and tonie as well as other sites all went to the same price from memory.

Trouble is, we actually want to give her this for her birthday.... on 12th october so need to get it in prime day rather than Black Friday which is two weeks too late.

Obviously it's not a guarantee that it'll go into prime again this year but do people know if typically the tonie box bundles go into prime day??

You could try having a look on Vinted. People will sell Tonieboxes in original packaging where they've been unwanted gifts etc. Some will have tonies as well but you could pick these up separately. I was looking at them on there last year for circa £60 until a very kind mumsnetter shared their O2 code with me and I got it for this price on there instead.

Can I pick your brains please.

I’ve a few birthdays to buy for, both boys and girls all 9 years old.

What do you think is the ‘in’ must have thing atm - I’m thinking like how all the kids wanted the Prime drink and then the Mr Beast chocolate bars. Those you-tuber people they like to watch.

I’d love to get something like that, a bit of a wow factor for them, even if it’s nasty/ridiculous/overpriced.

The 9 year old girls I know are desperate for ear piercing and acrylic nails… definitely all the best Aunty points if you provide those!

@NoWordForFluffy Thanks.

I've just received my Etsy order @Ehunt1. I did think the seller was a bit cheeky as I placed two orders and they combined into one box. Quite a bit missing but I haven't had a refund email so assuming that will be sorted soon. Have also been sent an origami kit instead of the dominoes and then a random pair of Pom Pom hair grips that I didn't order so I hope they're not missing from someone else's delivery!

Ha ha yes it’s the aunty points I’m after!!
The girls have ears pierced already and older sisters so have lots of cosmetics/nails.

Thank you for replying, I appreciate it.

I now have a specific request - a 9 year old boy, loves Liverpool FC - no more than £20 -
I have NO idea, give me earrings and nails any day 🫣

@LuckyTigress
Thanks for the videos. Looks good! Also better than I thought and like the reuse element!

Dd will definitely be pleased!

IamChipmunk · 24/09/2023 19:08

@Stripedfluffysocks is there a Liverpool FC Dobble?

I got my 9yr old ds a Chelsea one for his birthday and it went down well!

Thanks, have you tried these before?

I've tried the Boxtails and they are really good. They were selling the mojito, espresso martini and passion fruit martini at a village event I attended. I assume they're local to me.

Duckyneedsaclean · 24/09/2023 19:19

Can't believe I'm going to buy two of these cookeez makery things 🤦‍♀️

GettingOldWithoutStyle · 24/09/2023 19:19

Aargh. My soon to be 6 year old has changed his mind on what Lego he wants..he's decided he wants a dark green Lego tank. I've told him Lego military stuff isn't possible (his birthday is next week!!) so he's obviously smugly chirped that father Christmas will make it for him then if he's good. Bloody hell. Any ideas please?

Ha, I also have the exact same problem- 9 year old boy obsessed with Liverpool and I’ve no idea!

Clucket87 · 24/09/2023 19:24

LuckyTigress · 24/09/2023 19:28

@Favouritefruits @IamChipmunk, you’re very welcome! I’m hoping the 9 year old recipient is as impressed as I was!

I used StarryOakCrystals on etsy. When I contacted them they were very friendly. I've ordered many items and mystery boxes all been lovely.

If you got a cage necklace and used small crystals they could change which ones they wore in it.

You can also get little animal carvings, ive got my dds some little pokemon/animals from my local shop. But I'm sure you could find them on etsy too.

I also recommend a book that explains the different qualities of the crystals. Also a box to store them in, dd uses a jewellery box and a selenite bowl to charge them.

Another popular item for her was a box of crystal chips from amazon to make her own bracelets.

I bought a mixed bag of crystals from Starryoaks last year and made DD1 an advent calendar with them - she loved it so much she asked for another one this year!

On one of the pre Christmas threads someone recommended a present tracker app but now I can't find it anywhere on any of the threads, does anyone know what it was?

Mumof2tobe · 24/09/2023 20:09

Does anyone know where I could get a minion onesie for adults? My nephew is autistic and its the only thing he wants, but as he is now the size of an adult man we can't find any that have a zip fastening instead of buttons.
Also, thanks for the F1 code!

Ive just ordered one of these mirrors, they are half price at the moment

Can't decide if I want one lol.
Did you go for the biggest size? I think the pictures make them look bigger then what they actually are.....

Christmas bargains thread 2 - where did Reastie go
Starfish78 · 24/09/2023 20:29

I went for the smaller size mirror for DD14 room

Starfish78 · 24/09/2023 20:30

That was in reply to AnotherOne4.
Yes I agree I think the photos make them look bigger, but she will love it
