Have you picked anything up for him yet? I could do with a couple more ideas if you wouldn't mind sharing?

I didn't have one for years, then when I moved in with OH in March I went exploring and found one by accident! ... now I know there are 2 within a 7 mile trip so I am in heaven lol. I buy presents for the children at the school (when they have parties) and they cost me no more than £2.50 but obviously RRP is so much more. I plan to sort out party bag fillers from home bargains aswell to keep the costs down


Oooh edit: they have jokey things at hawkins bazaar fairly cheap aswell. Not sure if you have one nearby but they sell online aswell which is great

Ive been trying to track down a hawkins bazaar free p&p code as there are only a few things I want from there, but they sell some great things. We had one for awhile but it only lasted over christmas.

So far I have this - http://www.firebox.com/product/660/13-in-1-Multi-Tool-Pen but I bought it when it was half price.

popped into my local Lakeland shop and managed to get these
http://www.lakeland.co.uk/blue-wheely-happy-box/F/product/21459_21458
for £3.99 each they are really cute and thought they would make a good basis for a hamper for kids! Sadly out of stock online but it might be worth trying instore if you have one near you (I went to the Guildford branch)

i had my children with me, which is a shame as they are too big to hide whilst shopping so will either have to make a hamper from us to them or use them for someone else!

Don't know if this helps or not but they have them online still (if they are the same?) I know there is postage to pay if you can't collect instore but I have just bought £50 worth of stuff and used the £10 off voucher from hotukdeals.

cookiedough38 : Crystalclear - I have recently ordered some baskets online from wilkinsons to collect in store as they seem to sell out quickly of the 1.99 ones

Thanks both :beer: they are the same ones, I have had a look online and to be honest would struggle to order £50 worth of stuff pity as I would have liked to use the £10 voucher however I have just ordered to collect instore (no delivery charge):j . I didn't know I could do that

Rusty I love the door hanger and what a bargain the cube - I can see another trip coming on, it was you who started me going there, the first time I went they even offered to help me to the car with my two trolleys :eek:
Well its quite a distance from me so I knew I wouldn't be able to go often :rolleyes:

Cookiedough had a look at Swiss-tech Survival Tool: Utility Key but want 3 @ £5 not £9.95 which is what it is now :sad:

Nooooo you can't blame me for forcing you to visit home bargains! lol ... :rotfl:

Crystal have a look on ebay, there are a few going for £5.99 might be worth emailing the seller and asking if they will discount postage etc?
