I can’t find the early reader version anywhere but could you buy her the “normal” version and include a note from Father Christmas saying that he thinks she’s done so well with her reading this year so he’s bringing her this one instead?

Just wondering if anyone had ordered from Typo on their cottonon website, have found several gifts that are perfect for people but the reviews on trust pilot are very mixed

Was in primark earlier and they have some things in that would be good for teenagers and younger adults, hat and gloves with embroidered initial. Some really nice make up boxes. It's only a small store so I expect bigger ones have more stuff.

@PumpkinSpicedTea have you tried awesomebooks.com (used to be book depository) I used them a few years back when my dd was really into audiobooks

@CarrotVan Have you seen
https://www.mapominoes.com/ ?

£4 for this Minecraft plush although lead time means it might be for next Xmas!

@Joevanswell I’ve ordered numerous times from Typo/Cottonon and never had any issues. Always arrived on time and great items. Never had to deal with their customer service though so not sure what they’re like if there is something wrong.

@alfiebest How about an upgrade on After Eights for a start? Hotel Chocolat have their own version as well as the absolutely incredible Mint Royales.

Usually some small discounts floating around for them, I think blue light /defence discount gets 5%.

@Justhereforthechristmasthreads thank you. I’ve downloaded the app and all is well. I hate to miss out on any cash back!

Half price on checkout at asda

Thanks @TheGriffle

Might be just me but if someone tried to ‘upgrade’ my after eights I would not be impressed! 😂

@Cuwins I mean I love an After 8, but don't knock those mint royales until you've tried them!

@trumpton thank you. Saving the link in case it comes back in stock.

@cuwins yes sadly Amazon doesn't have it.

@joevanswell have tried Awesome Books not sadly no luck

Thank you for all your help though

@claralane I like this idea very much, thank you 🥰

I have, they are nice but I would rather have a box of after eights! For a start there are more

I've just trawled vinted for you and can't see the early reader, but maybe it will be in a bundle if you have chance to scroll though them!

@PumpkinSpicedTea I've just had a scroll through eBay and found this box set of 10. I can't see if it contains the book your after but might be worth messaging to ask them? ebay.us/m/wn0laU

🤞 I love the idea about Santa telling her she’s ready to move up too if you can’t get it

What is this please?

Better than what Santa is telling my daughter (3.5) this year ‘here is a new harmonica, don’t pee on this one please’ 😂🤦‍♀️

@PumpkinSpicedTea here it is :) https://www.awesomebooks.com/book/9781408339558/rainbow-magic-alyssa-the-snow-queen-fairy/used

So sorry, again not early reader!

I don’t think that’s the easy reader one

that’s not early reader
