How do you get the new account discount? Is it the basic account or only the Very Pay credit account?

For those that suggested very (with the 20% off for first order) for a PS5 - is that the Very credit? Because the offer excludes PS5s unfortunately, as well as a few other things like the newest iPhones.

That's a shame, as I got the PS5 last year opening a credit account.

Can someone please reshare the claw game link, I think it was from Debenhams... I closed the page by accident!

In return I can offer Lakeland has free delivery until the 28th.

Thank you for the Lakeland free delivery tip off- got some Christmas pasta shapes my kids will love

Does anyone have any recommendations for a pirate ship suitable for a bath for a 5 year old. A certain mean mummy binned the tomy one as they were sick of all the black mould that needed constant cleaning.... But now can't find a suitable replacement.

I had hoped (not that it was me who binned the beloved mouldy boat) the green toy company would do them as their boats can be chucked in the dishwasher. However, 5 year old finds their boats too 'nice' and not piratey enough.

Feel like I'm hunting the impossible...

@Fireside10 how about this? Not suggesting the dough would be good for the bath, but the rest?

My 5 year old loves a Playmobil boat in the bath. Pretty sure there are various pirate ships available.

I found them cheaper at The Range (online as well) so worth checking there

there has already been a couple of deals posted on the previous threads. I also got a deal on John Lewis site with buy 2 get a free gift set a few weeks ago. If I see any more I will post.

I find them hit and miss for sales. Especially for the latest designs. I find them good quality boots though and my daughters get a hammer including in winter. Sometimes they have 10 or 20.per cent off so you could wait and see.

Thanks. I don't think it's important that they are the latest designs (although what prompted me was seeing a really cute pair with a London city map print on, sadly they are no longer stocked), so I will hang on until Black Friday in case.

My Starfish Project order parcel has just arrived - beautiful packaging and the items are gorgeous, so I am very happy. I hope everyone else's parcels arrive soon :)

Think I have seen those on the Planet Dance website sale page so you may get lucky. We have bought from there before but not for a while.

Thanks I got for £0.48 so happy with that! I like Nivea so bargain!

@AmazingBeesooh we have the Playmobil one - stupidly have never told him to stick that in the bath! Thank you 😂

Amazon have a few pairs of kids crocs very reduced (£7-11 rather than £30-40). Takes a bit of looking through different colour and size combos.

Eg infant size 5 for £6.78 -

Thank you. I think everyone gets different offers. This morning I was £1.20, now it’s £1.08 if I subscribe. X

My full discount didn’t show until I clicked right through to checkout.

According to reddit it seems to be a drop shipping operation, although based in London, as you rightly suspect @fishfingersandchipsagain

I’m late to these threads this year and want to buy from starfish even though I have no idea what you’re all buying! What is it and am I too late?

Playmobil is great in the bath
