Thread 7 - the one when dad needs bum bum cream

[OnionBag]

Starting this in Reastie’s absence. Hope that’s ok.

I had to Google this! (Googled Father Christmas home visit) and there's one in my area. £50 in November and £110 in December (£160 Xmas Eve - hes onto a money spinner there) Who knew!!? my DD would have screamed the house down Can see it would work out good value if there's a few kids.

Anyway, hot water bottles - we got a lovely fluffy cloud one last week from the Sainsburys Christmas gift range. Silky on the back. They also had a christmassy one. I think it was a Christmas tree.

@AchillesInHeels the Works do the smaller, travel Orchard Toys games too.

Someone maybe on the previous thread or earlier in this one was asking about Jelly Cat. My local garden centre does them and if you're a member (£10 for the year and I am a member for gardening stuff anyway) then you get 10% off everything in store including the Jelly Cats.

I got all these books very recently on Vinted. New with or without tags. For about £1 - £1.50 each. Ideally you need to find someone who has more than one book you need though as postage is circa £2.20 - £2.99. So would defeat the saving if buying separate and paying each time.

Have you tried Game Collection - they're brilliant, always reasonable and send quickly. I got Mario Strikers for £28 (RRP £39.99) and Mario Wonder for £40

@Robotik I have AXT7LGTE4SRA IT may be account specific though.

@RainbowZebraWarrior worth having a look at party companies on Facebook (the ones who do kids dress up parties) ours is coming the 22nd and they have said it will be the same Santa as we had last year.

@Robotik I have a £7 off £75 spend valid until 31st if you can private message me? I can't do it for some reason but can reply!

Also reiterating a PP post about checking charity shops for Julia Donaldson books but wanted to say that they always have a selection of Orchard Games too. I like getting board games, jigsaws and books from there as either gifts or just games for the house.

I bought a big Christmas jigsaw for me for a £1!

Hungry Hippos is down to £9 on Amazon

Please let me know if anyone notices any other board games on offer - looking for something for a family with teenage children. Thanks!

Nice one!!

@Memo88
Books 4 people do a Julia Donaldson set -
Also worth checking The Works for their 10 for £10 offer

25% off Kite Clothing
3 for 2 on Carrie Elspeth jewellery with OCT3FOR2

I have just done live chat with them and they say "minor delays" in the warehouse.

@Hibernatalie in a much earlier thread people were talking about Nice Buns, £3.99 from Home Bargains - not sure if they'd all be gone now but I bought two copies for families with older children and they look fab, really good quality and the box is a normal-sized board game not a travel one which I would have expected for £3.99.

Also thanks all for the Orchard Toys recommendations!

@AchillesInHeels thank you!

Does anyone know if Decathalon do Black Friday deals? Looking at getting my 2 bikes this year

EARLY50 gives 50% off photobooks at Popsa until 31st October.

Another White Stuff code if anyone can make use of it, £25 off a £100 spend

I gave my White Stuff code (25% off full price items until the 31st) to someone but it appears to still be working so anyone else is free to try it too!

TU96MLKBC

Another white stuff code for £25 off £100 if any use to anyone

Another advert from The Perfume Shop in my emails this morning.
Buy 1 get one half price.

I’ve seen an advert on Facebook that you can get a £5 Claire’s voucher for signing up to their club. Not sure if t&cs as mine hasn’t come yet x

My Asda rewards app is offering an bonus 40% on your rewards voucher to exchange for toys/homeware in store. Is quite far down on the app. Don't know if it's universal but worth a look.

Switch games

try Currys I keep finding them to be the cheapest particularly on new release they always have a code and they will state the code in the game description- I think I got Sonic Wonder for £34 delivered
also last year Asda had some new titles discounted for Black Friday and you could combine with Blue light

Teen Board games
Dumb ways to die
exploding kittens and expansions
catan
ticket go ride

or Home bargains I got 3-4 for mine as they were only £3-4 including Obama Llama as recommended on here and I think MTV trivial pursuits Radio Times Charades

bikes
check Halfords and they do usually have some Black Friday deals that can be combined with other codes eg blue light and my union NIPSA card gave me 10-15%

White Stuff 25% off code TU95BVIW2
