It's such a pity that there are so many girl choices but the boy one's are all marvel or Minecraft. My boy would love something like this!

This is a small shop at Trentham Gardens Stoke-on-Trent they haven't got the Jellycat seal in at the moment but she does seem to get restocks often. My daughter finally got her seal from there. 🦭

B&Q has some baskets which are pre-planted with spring bulbs. The baskets are large - bigger than a standard bucket, and look great. It says all you need to do in the spring is take the lid off and you'll have 5 months of a display and scent. They are £15. There are 2 styles. I tried to add a link but it wouldn't let me so I am trying without and will quote myself in a moment with the links.

It still won't post with a link in , so search for the following on the B&Q site:

Verve Spring Serenade

or

Verve Spring Whisper

I've got a couple for elderly aunts who I will be seeing (too large to post)

I only buy kindle books when they are 99p, you can get a daily email from amazon with all the ones on offer. They took the ability to download books away though 🙄 so that's why I'd like a new one.

@JustAMiddleAgedDirtBagBaby there are various on Amazon.

This one is a Cat Wooden Colouring Puzzle with 24 markers £17.99

I just realised I misgendered my dughter. 🤣🤣🤣 7 and very much into pink still (despite a lifetime of gentle persuasion otherwise)

Agree that boys choices can be limited, though. The same with clothes.

Been a pig of a day, in my defence.

It’s not light but I find it easy enough to move. I keep it under the sofa when not in use and I can get it out on my own no problem. It has wheels on the front so you can use those to help manoeuvre it.

Thank you for this. They look lovely. Unfortunately only one type available near me otherwise I would have bought two of each. (And annoyingly I have a £9 off a £60 spend at B&Q, but nothing I want to spend another £30 on 😅)

I seem to remember a couple of my friends buying these from boots with a discount code in the summer. iirc boots were doing a general 15% code across the store and it worked on the oura rings too. Might be worth seeing if boots do a code for Black Friday? I’m not sure if they usually do.

Looking for some help!
I want to get the Lego Fierce Dinosaur for a friend's son. It's really only a token gift so £20 full price is a bit much.
It's £15 on Amazon. But also in the 2 for £20 on Argos. His brother is 4 in February so if I could find something for him, it could work out well. Plus I have some nectar points I can use.
The problem is, I cannot see anything nice for the 4 year old. My friend would say he is advanced, so I was thinking for Lego taxi, but is that too much for a 4 year old?
Any other suggestions?

I’ve just bought this for my son. Great price thank you. We went to a friends and he was obsessed with the record player there. At this price he can have his own! If he’s really into it we can always upgrade to a more expensive model in a few years. Thanks!

I just saw this on facebook, it may help some.

Thank you! Who knew a seal would be so popular!

Theres not loads in there. Maybe the chad valley giant road and some hot wheels or the bluey purse or the Lego taxi.

If you know anyone with an American Express Platinum credit card, there’s a £150 statement credit benefit when you spend over £300 at Oura direct.

That will be fine for a 4 year old if they have any interest in Lego - mostly about the concentration needed really to follow the instructions. DS1 was very into Lego and doing 7+ stuff at 4, DS2 no interest at all!

I bought a refurbished one from music magpie and it’s basically like brand new. I’ve been very happy with it and it was a substantial saving.

If anyone please has any recommendations for milk frothers to go with a pod coffee machine I’d love to know!

ideally one that can do cold froth for iced coffee as well as hot.

Bonus points if dishwasher safe. 😊

thank you! 🙏

🎄Sorry I can't do a link at the moment but I thought this looked like a good stocking filler gift, I haven't heard of this before.

I bought one of these for the wee girl next door with my p Louise order

Bit limited/niche but I got the train, and at 50p seemed a good wee add on

My 5 year old wants a real camera for Christmas. Can anyone recommend one? We have one that print little pictures, it he is looking for something more grown up. I wondered about camp snap?

My 12 yr old would like his own fitbit type watch. It needs to have a silent alarm as he uses it to remind him to go different classes at school. It doesnt need to take calls or texts, just simple. He borrows my old Charge 2 currently. Any suggestions of whats out now to fit the bill?

I've seen a lot of Klik cameras around at the minute and they're similar to the Camp Snap ones, though I can't recommend as I've not used one. They look great though, and there's a mystery discount on their website at the moment. It came down to £47 for me.

Check im asda its £10
