I bought a happy napper a couple of weeks back, I got a large size from Argos which was reduced from £50 to £35. I ended up returning it though because I felt it wasn't quite right, it was too tricky for a 5 year old to fold up and was just a bit awkward and lumpy! I haven't bought an alternative though so can't make any other suggestions.

Hi, does anyone know where I could get some socks with grips for a man who does yoga and Pilates? He'd prefer ones with individual toes (iyswim) so I'm not sure if the grippy socks up thread would be suitable. Thanks

Anyone who has bought clothing from My Protein, have you been happy with it and any particular recommendations for boys/men? Some reviewers say sizing is off for joggers

This keeps jumping around in price, but its highly recommended

The main seller has very high delivery costs so make sure you click other sellers

@Jedstre mine not arrived yet but the reviews say the joggers are long which ds needs. My issue was waist so i went for small in the end but is probably between small and medium so we shall see.

I bought a hoodie for DS1 and thought the size was generous, he likes some stuff oversized so won't mind. For me, the quality was ok but not amazing, reasonable value at the reduced price but definitely not worth the full price. Don't know about joggers sizes, sorry.

@Fluffbrush thank you for that tip !!

Has anyone ever bought fluffy inserts for crocs? I've seen some on Amazon but thought someone on here might have recommendations!

You can buy those inserts???!!!!

That's the best news I've heard all day.

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 09/11/2023 12:19

@hollyblueivy aye! They aren't official but would be good for this time of year. I've seen white and black

Does anybody know whether Yoto are likely to do a Black Friday promotion? Or has anyone got any great discount codes? The best I've found so far is 15% off at Katzenworld with the code diamondkitty but it's not a website I've used before so I'm a little wary.

Changingagain · 09/11/2023 12:36

Sorry I can't remember who was looking, but I've just been in WH Smiths and they had toblerones galore in various varieties.

QOD · 09/11/2023 12:43

thanks!

Katzenworld are fine. I’ve bought from them a few times, and they come up a lot on Yoto community groups.

If you buy direct from Yoto you do earn tokens which can be used for future purchases. You get 5 tokens per £1 spend. 100 tokens gives £1 off.

Joining Yoto Club gets you two cards from a limited selection (approx 100) free, plus 10% off, plus free shipping. I joined Club for one month £9.99). Then bought the Yoto player etc that I wanted. Chose my ’free’ cards. Then cancelled.

Yoto have done Black Friday deals in the past, but not on everything. So it might be just cards, or maybe just the mini.

@MerCatsSpawScience thank you!

Never used very- Can I buy it then pay off in one go do you know?

Most importantly what's the house looking like, have you seen any reviews on it?

I can only find reviews for the 2021 model even on YouTube and the video on Argos/ smyths that shows it off doesn't really do it justice 🙈

Thanks so much.

You can get 20% off first credit order with very. It takes full amount then credits u a day or two later. Then i just paid it in full straight away

ruralwanderer · 09/11/2023 13:17

@mummymummymummummum that's great, thank you! Smile I'll hold on then to see whether Yoto do a decent Black Friday promotion and if not, I'll order from Katzenworld (really reassuring to hear that they're legit!)

Does anybody remember if hotel chocolat reduced the grand advent calendar last year?

I was going to jump on the wax burner bandwagon for my 2 DS teachers but now I'm confused what to do. Ds1 has a main teacher then an assistant for reading (I'm not sure of any others but there could be more) ds2 has a nursery teacher and 4 assistants working on different days. I don't know whether to buy one big thing or multiple small things. There's also a chance that the assistants won't be in on the day the gifts are taken in so they would just end up being handed out I guess. I did buy 5 X hand cream sets in recent boots sale but now I'm confused how to use them 😕 as I think it might be mean to give the main teachers a bigger gift (like the burners) than the assistants (who probably do a lot of grunt work!)

Wwyd?
