Taco, cat, gift, pizza is great!

We like no more llamas, exploding kittens, dobble, snap, memory games. Can he recognise numbers?

Not card games but we liked connect 4, jenga, guess who, bugs in the kitchen, snakes & ladders, pictureka, hungry hippos, junior monopoly/game of life (I just read the cards but they soon recognised the pictures and knew what they meant), 5 second Rule Jr, headbandz.

Big potato games do some good family games we enjoy playing together - herd mentality (he wouldn't need to read the questions or could play on a team), OK play, disney colour brain.

Also bop it, silly sausage and Simon Air have been popular here.

Also we enjoy rush hour, I think they do a junior version.

I will take a look at all of these thankyou!!!

I Have this ready for this year :)

@redjoker for bigger games my 6yo loves Carcassonne, Labyrinth, draughts, junior monopoly and junior cluedo. Dobble, Uno Flip, old maid and a travel chess are the smaller faves. Oh, and battleships and top trumps. And there's a game called Set which can be a bit tricky to get your head round but if he's good at finding patterns we like that to either play collaboratively or competitively. And some of the smart games like Down the Rabbit Hole that is magnetic and independent so really good for car journeys.

My son really wants an Air up bottle, any idea if they'll be black Friday deals? I didn't take any notice last year!

I just begrudge paying so much money for a bottle!

Have you looked on Vinted? I know I've mentioned it on here a few times (sorry), but I know that I myself sold two YETI cups on there after Christmas last year. They were gifted but passed the return window. I wanted smaller ones so I sold the two gifted ones and used the money to buy the new smaller ones. They were brand new and unopened and I ended up selling them for a third of the price. There's definitely still sellers on there with YETI so you can have a look and make some offers.

Alternatively if you are unsure of Vinted, Amazon definitely do some styles/colours on offer. I actually got another rambler with a straw lid from there as an early Xmas gift this year.

Apologies if already mentioned but I can't keep up with you all

@redjoker Magic Maze Kids is great. It's a cooperative game, and there are several boards so lots of replayability. No reading (but you do "read" symbols to know what to do).

they have all been saved to my list, Rhino Hero looks great tho!

down the rabbit hole looks fab, have saved them all thankyou!

@MadeForThis I had emails this week for both beer and wine. Supposed to be unique codes but I doubt it.

This is not physically small, about slim-standard board game sized, but doesn't require reading on his part: Enchanted Forest.

Hi,

How have you managed this? The cheapest hoodie I could see for teen DS is £73, with 1/3rd off that's still £51. I wouldn't mind that, but i only need one. Curious how you've got for £25?

First time asking for guidance. If any of you lovely mumsnetters know where I mind find a bargain on a Gore-tex mens jacket please do let me know. Ideally don't want to go over £100. Equally, I'm looking for mens welly boot recommendations!

@Puffalicious here is a screenshot of the two I got. Using the code VIP30 brought it right down

this looks perfect, ill have a look on Vinted!

Double, Cat, goat, pizza

@WidowedMum I'll send you an o2 code, how does it work? When I've had a look it says use within 90 mins so I'm afraid of getting it and wasting it 😂

Any offers on posca pens this year? I was debating them for my son but don't want to spend too much in case he doesn't use them.

Do you need special paper for them too?

Thank you so much for the code @dippyduck1, I bloody love these threads 😊🎅🎄

20% off Loungefly at Truffle Shuffle for the next 24hrs with code BFLOUNGEFLY (lots of characters not just Disney!)

Pass the bomb junior might be good for the six year Old?

Whilst everyone is thinking about games, does anyone have any recommendations for older kids?

Rymans still have their offers on Posca pens. To my knowledge, you don’t need special paper.
