I’ve seen Ticket to Ride mentioned a few times on these thread. Would it be good for 10 and 6 year old? 10yr old loves that Race Around/Across World programme so thought might interest them. Any advice on which on (seems to be lots of different versions) and (more importantly!!) what a good price would be for it. TIA

Minttee · 10/10/2023 09:54

@PantsToItAll I'm not sure about ticket to ride but I was just looking at race across the world board game on Amazon. No idea if its any good but my kids love watching it too.

@Laney79 I’m looking for a metal detector too. The Smyths one seems to get bad reviews. I did a bit of research and a few websites have recommended this one as a good starter detector.

metal detector

Ah Thankyou! I'll take a look. There is one on Amazon prime deal down to £22 from over £30 but it's so hard to figure out what is good and what's not so thanks for the recommendation!

Got these Robo alive fish as a stocking filler, £8.72 for both

What's the diff between these ones and the others at £14.99? Anyone know? Is it just an older version?

Yalz · 10/10/2023 10:03

£10 off anything over £40 on Etsy with the code YES10, until 11 October.

Ts & Cs here, scroll down to the bit about Etsy coupons.

@Famousthehero for the bath or will you get a tank? Mine might like those...

Hi, hope you don't mind me popping on to this thread. Just wanted to say that Herd Mentality is £18 in the Amazon Prime sale atm. It dropped down to £15 last December, but this is the lowest price it's been since then.

We've also rounded up the best deals on toys and games on this page, it's being updated quite frequently over the sales period, so worth coming back to it for updated. Hope that helps!

I was just going to let them put them in the bath or wherever.
I bought my nephew the set with a bowl
a while ago, think it was £17 at the time.

feel like we don’t have enough surfaces left at the moment for a big thing they lose interest in after a couple of days…

WimbyAce · 10/10/2023 10:17

Polly Pocket and Play Doh advent both on sale

Famousthehero · 10/10/2023 10:25

there is also 30% off selected Amazon warehouse returns at the moment - I just got DD a nice rock tumbler for £45 instead of £70 so it’s worth a look if you can spare the time (there was only 1 available sorry, just an example)

Famousthehero · 10/10/2023 10:28

Actually a couple of the Rock tumblers have popped up again if anyone fancies it, just add the used one to basket from the options :-)

I'm pleased to find this dragon themed board game on offer with Prime Day, have played it before at someone's house and we enjoyed it. May be useful to someone else whose child loves them:

Thank you for this thread. I’m a bit late to the party this year but have found in previous years it to be a godsend for ideas and bargains.

This So Bomb Vanity Case is a good price at £7.85 at Amazon.

Oh this looks good but comes up at £17 for me? Could you post a link?

Ginny26 · 10/10/2023 10:40

Is this good pricing for the marble run?

QVC currently have the Ninja 9.5L dual air fryer (AF451UK) for £179.94 with 6 easy payments of £29.99.

Its on sale on Ninja for £249 so good price but the easy pays really help if anyone was looking for one

mumonthehill · 10/10/2023 11:02

I am rubbish at links but just got earbuds and havianas sliders in the Prime sale.

Bagofsocks · 10/10/2023 11:03

Smyths have £6 off £50 and £12 off £100

Laney79 · 10/10/2023 08:11

Anyone recommend a kids metal detector? I've seen on in smyths and a couple on Amazon but struggling to decide as reviews as mixed. It's for my boys 4th birthday

My 7 year old has the Smyths one and it's definitely good enough for him!

IHeartKingThistle · 10/10/2023 11:10

Hot Wires is at a really good price on Amazon, 35 or thereabouts. Used to be a lot more when we bought it years ago for DS (huuuuge hit and we still have it).

Blessedbethefruitz · 10/10/2023 11:11

I'm still a bit gutted I can only find 2 rc brio compatible trains (the hape ones need mobile apps, I want actual controllers). Has anyone seen anything like this other than the 2 official brio ones?

Famousthehero · 10/10/2023 11:14

£3.50 for 3 cath kidston Hand creams on a lightning deal

Dee1224 · 10/10/2023 11:44

@Minttee and @PantsToItAll - my OH bought me the Race Across the World game last year and it was a massive disappointment. It might be better with more players, but with two people we had finished the game in just a few minutes. Such a shame🙃

sorryiasked · 10/10/2023 11:53

@Losingmymind85 is there a code that you know about?

Eaglefree · 10/10/2023 12:02

You get £10 off if you down the Amazon app on your phone . I think applies to items bought from Amazon store.
