Exploding kittens down to £11 something on an Amazon deal.

That’s so hard for you all. I am in the same boat but my children are older. Really sympathetic. I would suggest-
The wonderful things you will be - by Emily Winfield Martin,
here we are by Oliver jeffers
Both have beautiful illustrations and lovely messages
also ‘ The lost words’ has beautiful but prob better for older kids. Hope you have a lovely Christmas.

@Bookbug92
im so very very sorry.
youve had some wonderful suggestions already, my pennies worth is folio society books. They are beautiful. My personal favourite is the just so stories (from any publisher). They have classics as well as things like the night before Christmas

I would third the Robert Sabuda we have Alice in Wonderland and it is beautiful, my daughter treasures it.

Last year A Game of Cat and Mouth was recommended on here and I got it on offer. It's down to £15 on Amazon right now, it really was fun and we love playing it https://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Cat-Mouth-Exploding-Kittens/dp/B08JKYR39Z

Not a bargain, but I’ve been keeping an eye on Trevor at Argos (the dinosaur from the adverts, not a person lol)) and he’s just come back in stock in my area. So chuffed I’ll get one in time for Christmas 😀

might be worth checking stock levels, if anyone else was after him.

At Last. We've been Christmassed! TWO fossils have arrived at the Reckless house.

Another really random one. Secret Santa and the wish states: I'd love a CD of music you'd like to open my mind to.

I've had the thought of the stupid ones: now this is what I call music or house trance demo beats.... But anyone have any inspiration?

I don't know anything about them

Crikey! That's open to interpretation. If it were me, I'd buy them a CD of my own favourite band (so in my case, Stereophonics) or, I'd buy the album of a celebrated local artist. Would that work? At least it would be along a local theme rather than totally random.

The only other thing I can think of is that if you can find out the year they were born, you can get CDs with all the top number ones from that year.

Oooo how about this! Percy Thrillington

The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey

My sympathies to you and your family. How about 'A Child's Garden of Verses' by Robert Louis Stevenson? You can get some lovely hardback editions. I know I've always treasured my copy.

Don’t know if already mentioned or always this price but I know the Harumika sets have been popular in the past. On Bargain max they’ve got an extra 25% off so it makes this one £1.87 and the others only slightly more

can anyone share any ideas for stocking fillers for boys aged 2 and 4 please? Thanks!

Thank you all so much for your suggestions and kind wishes, I'm am seeing my dad tomorrow so I will make a list of everyone's suggestions and then we can look through them together. Thank you all again ❤️

Morning all. The Spicery have 20% off their individual recipe kits if you get 6+. Full price is £3.25 each.

They also have the same discount on the One Pot recipe kits if you buy 6+; full price is £2 each.

I got a very welcome extra 10% off for spending over £20 - didn’t need a code - and there is free postage if spending over £12.

I don’t have a referral code but I think there are some in the referral thread.

Everything I’ve ever had from them has been delicious 😍The Spicery

I'm going through something similar, and I'm sorry you are going through this. Can i suggest whichever book you choose, get your dad to read it and record it. I'm about to do this with every member of my family and bought a yoto to play them for my DC in years to come.

Thank you for the CD suggestions.

@RainbowZebraWarrior - id pick the stereophonics too!
@Callipygion : great idea. Thank you!

@DandelionDahlia thanks for pointing out The Spicery order! Final.stockong fillers for DH and I sorted (we have just moved house and shelled out tons so doing stockings only for us, so DD4 doesn't get sad). He will love them!

Stocking fillers, FFS!
