Cheeky request can anyone recommend a bike for an 8 year old, 20 inch? DS birthday next week... budget around £150 really, would love a good discount !! I dont have so much as an argos code atm Thank you.

Thank you for this. I’ve been debating about getting it for my parents but at that price I went for it.

One I always recommend is a second hand frog or Isla. They're such good bikes! Check their sites for measurements and check Facebook and eBay, they come up loads.

Has anyone seen a Lakeland code? I’ve got a Blue light card so saw 10% off £60 but I don’t quite want to spend that much!

This takes 15% off but I'm not sure if there's a minimum spend.

The image is under review......

Hoping this makes up for the American sweets 😳

Some colours have voucher taking them down to 4.99

Seen on another page. I got black in 3xl for sil

the same seller has a mens fleece lined jumper with a 50% voucher but if you buy two the price (for the two) is £1.99!

they may be terrible but for £1 delivered they'll be good for winter gardening!

@Ohmeohmyohme what age are the tinc calendars good for? DD will be (a young) 11 in January am wondering if they’d be suitable for her?

@MaybeMrsthis will be my third year making my DD’s beauty advent calendars as there is so much in many of them that wouldn’t get used. I try to get them in at £120 each or less and grab bargains where I can like BYOMA 3for2 sets in boots to split up, the previous ASOS bargain Lanaige lip glazes & Sundae shower foam, the Benefit mini deal etc plus some Patchology masks, mighty patches and a voucher for a manicure.

Thanks @hayal, worked perfectly!

Definitely try marketplace / other local selling sites for an Islabike (possibly over budget for a good condition one), Frog or Squish.
Also double check the size you need - 20inch could be right but I just got an Islabike 20 large for my to-be 5 year old so may need 22 or 24 for 8yo.

Carrie76 It’s so hard isn’t it! Mine are 10 and they will love them. If you scroll through the pictures, it shows the contents if that helps?

I got some last year, it is really good, but it doesn't weather well so it constantly needs replacing if you use it outside, regardless of their claims

Verucca (love the name!) I had this last year, and I thought it was really really good. I had the gemstones one too. They came in small red cardboard 'envelopes' with a number and a Christmas sticker on - very attractive, but not in calendar formation IYSWIM.

Think I even got a fossilised shark tooth in a little plastic box inside one envelope, and dinosaur bone - I was very pleased.

that's the ones!

Have you considered renting a bicycle instead? The Bike Club have brands like Frog and Forme and deliver across the UK I believe.

I went into cancel after several months and they halved my subscription to £7 per month.

I have a few couples to buy for and have just come across these:
Pott'd Date Night Kits

Wondering if anyone has ever used them and would recommend? Or not? They have some discounts atm and multi buy offers. Also a referral scheme so I am going to pop my referral code on referrals thread in case useful to anyone else.

Other ideas for couples in their 20s welcome! Thanks 👍

Thanks for the bike advice. I am off to look now. He's only 126cm tall, so 20inch seems OK. In his head he wants a bike with loads of gears but im not sure its a good idea. He is more into stunts and racing around on half pipes (in our garden and the park) than long distances so im thinking more of a bmx style without gears? Hope he won't be disappointed by that. What a minefield this is

Thanks all ordered!! I’m such a sheep 🐑 🤣

Hello sorry is it possible to write out code not entirely sure what’s B,8 or I, 1 Thanks
