@tillytown would this work? www.fun.co.uk/adult-minions-union-suit.html

@Starfish78 what mirrors? I can't find a link?

Tempted by those cookeez toys. My girls will be 10&11 but still like a teddy

My son was ww2 obsessed and I got him “lego” tanks and soldiers from eBay. Unfortunately the seller is no longer trading so I can’t link.

Thanks for the mirror link.
@Starfish78 I went big. For the extra £12 it seemed worth it.

They are half price at the moment

Half price where? Sorry I think I missed the post

@GirlWithTheYellowHat you need to click on the photo of the mirror in @Starfish78 ’s post

I've logged on with the browser instead of the app and can see it now. It's not displaying on the app!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm not sure if Lego actually make them - but the Fleet Air Arm museum and The Tank museum sell a different brand of Lego style bricks. That has a range of different military vehicles. You could try their website stores or the brand is called Cobi
The tank museum have a green tank on its online shop. If you go on their site and search Cobi, it will come up.

Can anyone remember the chocolate company someone posted with the little Christmas pudding chocs and other Christmas themed chocs? Been trying to search but no luck 😗

These? Still have the tab open 😂

Aww thank you, yes it was those! 🎅🏻😁 Looks like I missed the discount though, if anyone gets a further code can you let me know please x

@GettingOldWithoutStyle
Brick tanks sell a lot of Cobi army models and if you sign up to their newsletter they have a 10% code and offers at times

My boys have had a few of their tanks - they are pretty much lego equivalent in terms of assembly but they do fall apart if you play with them too vigorously (which lego can do too )

GettingOldWithoutStyle
others have given great ideas but if it has to be Lego (no judgement! Lego is the only brand loyalty my house has) then you could look at Lego Chima which is no longer made but can still be bought easily second hand. There is a green tank-like one in the collection (chima is warring animal tribes - the different animals have different weapons/vehicles, some really clever builds & very interactive. DS loves them)

Avoid if you only want new as the prices are eye watering!

@Stripedfluffysocks @Studswagger would your 9year old giftees already have the top trumps set? Or monopoly?

Whoever had the genius idea of posting about the Cookiez Makery oven, thank you very bloody much 😡 I have bought 3 sodding gifts for my son when ordinarily I am done by now and I've got a kids toy coming this week for me. I am 34. I do not need a non-cooking kids toy. Then again, I have a colonscopy coming up so maybe I can use it as a reward 🤔

i agree 🤣 I’ve now bought two and had not heard about this toy until yesterday on these magic boards! Good luck with the colonoscopy

It's not the brand new one, but the 2021 version of the Barbie house is down to £135 on Amazon just now. Normally about £179 I think, so not the largest discount, but brings it to a slightly more sensible price.

You could try Primark. Their onesies are starting to come back in. If really stuck there’s a few on Vinted. You might find a new one.

@tillytown - like Buzzwordten says Vinted might be a good option - eg

@Stripedfluffysocks how about a Liverpool cap. My son’s friend asked for an England strip for his birthday so I got him a cap to go with it. It was well received.
LFC cap

I’ve had an email from Hobbycraft, if I download their new app and sign into my club account I get a £5 voucher to spend online or instore.
I remember Posca pens were popular last Christmas and they have 25% off right now.

Ahhhh thanks for this!

That cookiez thing looks like the Mixie things from last year. What a waste of money that was!

Well that's my cookez ordered. Think my son will love it. Don't think we will redo it though, it'll spoil the fun of making it if he realises he's not really magically made it
