Have just ordered the imaginext monster for DS for Xmas - £25 is a brillaint price for such a big present! I've also ordered 2 cricker sets so thanks to the 2 OPs for these baragin links x

Can't wait for Christmas this year - will be my first as a single mother. I'm hoping I will have sold my house by then and be in my own place with DS x

Ive just ordered the playmobil advent calendar from amazon as mentioned in todays grab its, its reduced to £11.99 with £1.99 postage. Ive had my eye on these for years but could never afford one. My son is seven, but he may enjoy it for a year or two. I'll be enjoying it for a long time myself!

Aldi are selling 'growing kits' for 99p some peculiar ones like coffee plants but one of them is a bonsai tree kit which I thought might be a nice little stocking filler. http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/offers_week29Thursday11.htm?WT.z_src=main

Sainsburys have reduced their kids gardening range by 50% but I'm hoping this will drop to 70% soon as they have some cute kids gardening gloves reduced to £1.50 but there's loads left and I'm making up little gardening kits for a couple of my nephews. They also have a huge assortment of mugs reduced by 50% which I think would make a nice gift, especially if you include an assortment of different flavoured teas.

chicky i see what you mean about the lego advent calendars the prices!! there is a gorgeous silent night one on there though i am thinking of getting it. but i would like one for my son so i will keep me eyes open and let you know if i see any cheaper ones.
ledgendmum i have to keep my wrapping until december but sometimes i do a couple of things earlier. i just love christmas, and the wrapping!! yay its nearly christmas, really got to get started on presents feel so behind this year.

I have only started wrapping DS's as he likes to snoop in my cupboard and brings things as does my OH so his will also have to be wrapped and hidden! Everyone elses I will keep for closer to the time and have a nice glass of wine on the go with a Christmas movie on in the background!
