can any one recommend the best place to buy a drs set for a 4 year old please

Any suggestions for a juggling set? My 14 year old has taught himself to juggle with 3 balls but the balls we have are quite old and broken.

I was thinking a more professional set with more balls or maybe some clubs? Don’t want to spend too much but don’t want it to look like a kids’ toy.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Ooh that's a nice idea, pottering & finding bits. Thanks!

@SkinnyOatFlatWhiteForMePleaseBaristathanks for the John Lewis Lego tip off. Just got DH a formula 1 car & also they had some jelly cats on offer so got one that DD has had her eye on which had 20% off. Also apparently top cash back is going to give me 10% back on toys so fingers crossed for that!

Oooh! Gorgeous. I will go on & look, but I've been eyeing up the different colours like green/ pink/black. I definitely like a few blue bits, though. Thank you!

I also bought Exploding Kitten from OnBuy, but it was clear it was a fake when it arrived 😞.

Yes they've got other colours too

Some reduced Jellycats at John lewis

sorry if that link is weird, I got it off somebody’s Facebook sponsored link and I can’t open JL in my own browser, just takes me to the app 😑

thanks for filling the last one @RainbowZebraWarrior- there’s nothing more frustrating than trying to follow 2 threads of the same 🤣

The most first world of problems, but it is true 😂

I ended up with fake Uno from Onbuy a couple of years ago.

Would something like this suit @snoopinginstlye?

I'm so glad you like them - she's thrilled with all her MN sales this year....

I have placed an auto-bid on 3 lots 🫣. Goodness knows how much it will cost for them to post it to me of I win any of it🤔😀!

Thanks so much for this, have ordered a couple for presents

Sounds like I may have had a lucky escape with Onbuy then... thanks all!
If anyone happens to see a Shaun the Sheep back pack for under £20, please let me know! 😀

Thank you to whoever used my referral code for Bloom & Wild. With the £10 I got from that, a £5 reward received for sending a plant arrangement, another £5 that unlocked whilst I was placing my order and the (only) 10% discount code received in an email on Friday I've just sent a Jingle Bell Tree to DH's Aunt for £11.50 instead of £35. I've scheduled delivery for Friday 11th December so that's something else I can forget about!
I don't think I'd have been able to use my Tesco vouchers as you can normally only use them on full price items but very happy with what I've paid.

She already has the McLaren (her favourite) so would be happy with any of the others, she would like to collect them all, she’s 20 and severely autistic and F1 is her current hyper fixation 🤣. £130 is the cheapest I have seen it so far but I’m worried it might go down further if I buy it too soon, but also worried it will go back up in price.

🎄jellycats on offer at John Lewis. Around 15% saving and only online so delivery / in store collection charges added. But if you’re looking for a specific one? https://www.johnlewis.com/brand/jellycat/soft-toys/_/N-1z13zwuZno1x

Could you buy it at £130 now but take it back if you manage to find it significantly cheaper?
I've done that with clothes from Sainsbury's before now when I've ordered a few days before a Tu sale starts!

Looks good thankyou

Sounds like a great deal and I would be happy with that too! Try the Tesco vouchers next time as I was able to stack my Tesco vouchers with the £25 % off and the extra £5 off for buying a second gift. Got 2 x Elizabeth Scarlett pouches and a delivery of Xmas flowers for £67 all paid for by £33.50 Tesco vouchers.

Take a look at great little trading company. They have 25% off lots of toys and the stuff is lovely
