Right. I can hop over to the shop at lunchtime for a spot of frog hunting 🐸

I can hit Wandsworth in the morning so if I find Windy first, I will let you know!

I absolutely love how kind this thread is ❤️

mmmmmchocolate · 12/10/2023 07:13

What was the notino deal please? I’ve gone back through half of the thread and can’t see for looking 😂

DD2 asked for something from Sol de janerio last night and they have the perfect thing on there!

Beckafett · 12/10/2023 07:33

Ah, in that case I will bow out as that’s the one I was going to head to as well.

Love the prospect of a tornado of MNers all ransacking the place for Windy at once Grin

They have the perfume set about £10 cheaper than I can find it anywhere else. I paid £26 delivered

Thanks, good idea although I wouldn't want to put anyone out...it's in newcastle, Sheffield, Coventry, Leeds, Birmingham and Bromley I think, I'm down in the south 🙁 Mermaid cushion

If you post a picture I'll be going to the Coventry one either tomorrow or Friday and I'm happy to look for you

And all the shop assistants being very puzzled about why that particular frog is so popular all of a sudden…

GettingOldWithoutStyle · 12/10/2023 08:10

They did have this in the merry hill store

GettingOldWithoutStyle · 12/10/2023 08:50

@Room4onemorethanks for letting me know, it's showing as out of stock there now so I do wonder how accurate the stock checker is! If I can swing to the Reading one today I could have a peek but I have DD with me so it will have to be a well timed nap. That's literally the only store I can get to.

mmmmmchocolate · 12/10/2023 08:59

@Restlessinthenorth thank you! That’s the item I wanted. I’ll go order now 😊

Justhereforthechristmasthreads · 12/10/2023 09:02

I know a lot of you like the sol de janiero bum bum cream etc. If you are buying on notino some of that range has 20% off with code combi20

mummymilkfloat · 12/10/2023 09:12

@GettingOldWithoutStyle I can check the Cardiff store for it tomorrow, will let you know

VeruccaSalty · 12/10/2023 09:28

Smiggle sale has further discount. Raging as i did big order a couple of days ago thinking it had gotten as low as it was going to.

livingthegoodlife · 12/10/2023 09:31

thank you to the poster who suggested symths for the barbie pop surprise. it took them down to £17 ish which isnt too bad. my first Christmas purchase!!

now on the hunt for Sylvanian reindeer family & a good instax camera bundle. i got a great bundle last year from Jessops with 2 photo albums, bag, film etc so hoping for something similar.

anyone in the know about good wireless headphones for 11 year old boys? way out my comfort zone buying tech.

Realfastfoodie · 12/10/2023 09:38

Big recommendation for this post office set which was recommended on a previous thread and is even cheaper now! 3 year old loves it, although I think it would be slightly better at 4

The hey have them here, I will grab you one and if you don’t need it I can bring it back

Need advice- Son wants a Switch for Xmas. I am Mrs Cheapskate and i get everything second hand, everything. I am happy to buy switch games second hand and have collected a few but opinions of the Console?

I have a seen loads- but i have also seen lots of 'if you buy second hand and it breaks nintendo wont fix it' or other off putting stories. Has anyone bought one second hand and it been fine?

Thought of spending 2-300 on something makes me feel sick!

Mads96 · 12/10/2023 10:14

Hey! I’m stuck on what to get my niece and nephew who will be 15 months at Christmas! I have an Amazon voucher too so if anyone sees any bargains please let me know! 🙏
