This thread title made me think I should make up a 12 days of christmas song for all the main bargains we've got! Thanks@Yalz and @ApiratesaysYarrr for the inspo on the title.

In message two are the links and info from last year - if anyone has anything they'd like me to amend or add, please do tag me and I'll update.

A reminder not to post affiliate links in the thread but that MN do change amazon links shared by posters into MN affiliate links.

Please do watch the thread rather than post to mark place to make it easier for everyone to keep up and find relevant info.

My 3y/o twins asked Father Christmas for a power ranger at the weekend. Specifically pink and red/black. Has anyone seen any?

How about this one
I'll see if I can find a pink one as well.
Can anybody tell I'm on my last week at work before maternity leave and have given most of my work to others lol.

Laithwaites have reduced some of their food and wine hampers including a Hotel Chocolate and fizz one.

If you haven't already used one I've popped my referral code on the Christmas referral board. Gives you £40 off an £80 spend and I'd get the same.

Check Top Cashback too as they were certainly their last week.

Thank you for another thread full of Christmas spirit

Clucket87 · 11/12/2023 11:38

@LizMay29
Right I've found a seller that has pink and black.
Never used before so you might want to have a look at reviews etc. also only saying 2 in the pink.
£10.99 each and £4 delivery but says should be with you pre Xmas
Here you go
Power rangers
I hope it helps.

Has anyone seen Spotify £99 gift cards please - the physical gift cards not a digital download? Weirdly the only place I can see selling them online is Amazon, but lots of the reviews say the PIN is unreadable and they're non refundable, and I'm not keen to risk £99. I tried real life shopping in Tesco's but they only had the £30 or £60 not the year's worth ones. DDs present pile is so small I really want a physical card!

Can I ask for advice please?

I am buying my nieces books for Christmas this year. I want them to feel like “special” ones.
But need a suggestion for my Niece age 3 please?

For comparison, the books I’ve bought for her Sisters are a Robert Sabuda pop up book and a Story Orchestra book.

Could anyone offer me any recommendations please? Thank you :-)

I really like the Nosy Crow poetry anthologies, A Whale of A Time is our favourite, but there's a couple more too.

If there's anything they are into, I'm happy to recommend more?

I bought grape and glowberry I'm House of Fraser about 3 weeks ago. They had big displays in front of the tills.

I always buy from ASOS when they have the 20% off everything - unfortunately they did this yesterday so it might be a while before they do it again but keep an eye out.

TK Maxx had them the last time I was there, the trainer socks ones were I think £6 for a 3 pack (think they're £12 for 3 pack in Sports Direct for comparison).

@mummyof2boys30 Hobbycraft do 3 for 2 gifts including science. We have the Green Science Hybrid Crabot, seems to be a hit. We've gone several Galt ones too, like one about bugs. I tend to get the deal and put spares away for later use, like nephew's birthday.

The Street Beneath My Feet and The Skies Above My Eyes are a lovely special pair of books if they’re quite interested in the world around them?

The detail might be a bit old for them (my son had them from age 4) but the pictures and fold-out pages are brilliant just to talk about.

Zitouna · 11/12/2023 13:22

Oops that was for @Andreseal

nothing** could you do an IOU card for them and get the e-card version? We did this as I really wanted the years worth for £99 and you have a year to activate the Amazon one?

Scout2016 · 11/12/2023 13:27

@Andreseal there's ones with hand puppets attached, like You're not so scary Sid.
Photicular ones with pictures that look like they are changing slightly which are fairly sturdy
Mole with a poo on his head (think it's calledole who know it was none of his business) has moving parts .
Also the What's Hidden In The...series. we have What's Hidden In The Woods by Aina Bestard and it's so clever - three spaces of colour to look through and the image changes each time. Terrible description sorry, it's this but might need adult help

I've been following all the threads and now need help please. I'm looking for some gifts for DGD age 4 to bulk out the presents. We're putting money in her bank and have a coat, dress and a barbie for her to open but it doesn't look very much. She likes drawing, arts and craft but I'm grateful for any suggestions. Thank you.
