  • The Meerkat Chatimal is available on I Want One of Those website incase anyone is looking for one. It is 19.99 but there is a £5.00 off voucher available on Hot Uk Deals which takes it down to £14.99 plus go through Quidco and you get £1.53 cashback.

    Well I was thinking of a Chatimal for one of my friends kiddies, but apparently they want a cashpoint moneybox. I've done a little research and there seems to be quite a few, usually called ATM moneyboxes where they programme it with their own 'pin' number and have a cashpoint card. It automatically recognises the coins and notes put in so the total is displayed. LOL, could do with one of those myself. Best one, from a review perspective, i've found so far comes in pink or blue and is £12.99

    There is a discount code at the moment for 10% off Paper Jamz guitars from The Hut which brings them in at just over 20 pounds delivered - cheapest I've found so far!

    Gross Magic is a good set and how about the science experiments, there are some in the Argos catalogue that look fab.
    I have bought Hexbug Nanos, but I think they are just a small stocking filler present, another good stocking filler is the Adictaball, I bought one in the school hols and we all had fun trying to beat one another to see who could get the furthest. I have also picked up a CSI Finger Print kit from Home Bargains today £1.99 fab stocking filler!!
    How about a Magazine Subscription, a model making kit, MP3 player, football kit, Paper Jam guitars/ drums are also popular but again novelty may wear off quick! How about a proper guitar or set of drums!!! Skateboard, roller blades, it's hard when you dont know the child!!! I'm sure you will get a list together - have a look through the agos catalogue, that will give you some ideas!!

    Some great ideas here, thanks :)

    Have ordered him the Hexbug Habitat set and the Adictaball from Red5. :j The Adictaball looks alot of fun, so thanks for that idea.

    Got a few more bits for him now:- Star Wars Lego, Nerf Dart Tag 2 player set, Adictaball & Hexbug Nano. :D

    Thanks for all the ideas, keep em coming!! LOL

    They must have just reduced this following the end of 3 for 2 offer. Might check to see what else they've reduced ;)
    I managed to get a 25% off code from some nice mser so got my guitar for 17 pounds - they really are thin - be interesting to see what they sound like!
