@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl

I'm also on the lookout for wax melts (to go with my boots burners) My sister uses waxidentally awesome on fb - I'm holding out for her black Friday deals.

I haven't tried them myself, but looks to be plenty of Christmas scents.
Waxidentally awsome

Fancy Dress for Kids – Meri Meri UK Retail

Black Friday sale on Meri Meri - best deals look to be half price on some fancy dress.

Can be combined with the £10 off £40 code on the referral board!

@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl I really like Ashleigh & Burwood's winter range (though I buy them from a small gift shop where I don't get discounts etc). My favourite of theirs is Winter Forest, though I'm currently using Frosted Holly.

Thank you, fingers crossed it's honoured!

Any good recommendations for a watch for an 11 year old girl, no characters but not too grown up?

@Broccoli5 @PeskyPotato i was too late sadly, but curious if they do honour it. Let us know!

@psuedocream3 swatch are good for that age, lots of choice

Any recommendations for a Star Wars cuddly toy? The main requirement is that it has to be really soft!

@EdenGlen you can get star wars squishmallows??

Yoto glitch is fixed! Fingers crossed for everyone who ordered!

I missed the yoto too

Hi all, I've missed most of the last 2 threads so apologies for probably a duplicate question.
I've ran out of ideas for my eldest who is 12 and was thinking of getting her a subscription or 2. At the moment my list is only-
Snackverse.
Any other ideas or does anyone use SnackVerse?

So frustrated I missed the yoto glitch 😭

Not sure I saw an answer so to jump in- my youngest loves them and a cheaper way was to buy the calendars I found. She uses them in barbie games

The code HOHOHO gives 15% off a £30 Hotel Chocolat Spend. I don't think it's account specific as the leaflet says it applies automatically in store as well.

@SunflowerBaby I'm the same with the air up. Both my younger DS have asked but it's so expensive just for a bottle and pods. Mixed reviews as well some of my friends love it, some think it's an utter waste of money. My basket has been sat there 3 days

🤦🏻‍♀️
I didn’t even check on their own site! 😂
thank you x

It's hard isn't it when they ask for something but they're such a gimmick. One of those things you just write off as a complete waste of money, for me anyway.

My 2 boys love theirs and definitely drink so much more water now

Thank you! Does the location piece work well? We had bought a cheaper one before and it was useless so willing to spend a bit more ££ for accuracy!

I know this won’t help those on the fence about the air up bottles as most people seem against them on here but my DS7 and DS10 use the bottles everyday for school with no issues. No leaking and no smelling/mould like some other people have mentioned. I’m also surprised by how many people don’t read the leaflet and don’t realise that the pod needs to be in the “up” position in order to “taste” the flavour. A lot of people I’ve spoken to have just assumed you push the pod in and off you go.

Some pods definitely “taste” better than others and I am surprised when I say it tastes nice when I then remember it is actually just water. My boys don’t like any of the “original” variety pack which they seem to push as a good starter set to purchase with the bottles. They like pineapple, iced coffee, iced peach tea and coconut ☺️

They are expensive but you don’t need the cleaning brush- a pipe cleaner works fine. The pods do seem to last well, I don’t change them very often, def not as often as suggested. Some smells are stronger than others imo- The bottles themselves have lasted well- 3 of my 4 kids have them and they still look new and they’ve had them nearly 2 years.

@Favouritefruits and @Beckafett Thank you both for the advice. Will have a look into the calendars and a shop to go with a few of the balls.

Agree DDs both love their air ups, I can’t taste them but they both insist that they can and they both fill up water bottles more often than before. We got the metal ones on the prequel thread and they are very sturdy with no leaks. One of the better gimmicks I’ve indulged!
