Oh I wish I was able to get those wee tins or baubles for the kids I work with.
I was in our 2 local HB stores yesterday and didn't see any of those, nor did I find that Cuponk game thing everyone's talking about :-( I wish they would put lings like these on the website, ESP if they are popular

Not sure which is your local but they had a few Cuponk sets in the Kennedy Centre branch on Thursday. Also saw them in Carrick last week, I bought two and there were several left. I haven't seen the tins anywhere though and I have been in Newtownabbey and Newtownards this week too, Newtownards had one Cuponk left, didn't see any in Newtownabbey. Discount NI sometimes has little tins like that, I think that is where I got them last year.

I managed to get Cuponk as well in Glasgow Govan store at the weekend
They were beside the men's christmas gifts and still had a few left
Looking forward to playing this with my son on Christmas Day.

I also got a penguin pillow pet for £4.99 - its very cute

OT but I saw cuponk in Matalan yesterday, not sure how much it was but all toys 1/2 RRP.

In Prenton today set of 4 christmas board books for £2.99. These retail at 4.99 per book in Mamas and Papas (although on sale for 1.99 each at the moment), still much better value in HB as always though!

It's been the Newtownabbey one I've been in most and haven't seen them at all. Was also in the one down at Yorkgate (Cityside) and didn't see them. My sister works over near the Kennedy Center so might ask her to call in there and see if she can get them lol. Thanks for that info
Never thought if Discount NI either, will keep that in mind this weekend lol

They had them in the one in Yorkgate on Friday evening. I noticed them as bought them for my lot last year and they never looked at them -grrrr. They are not in the toy section but in with men's gift stuff. Other things like wooden puzzles near back 2nd or 3rd aisle over I think. I know it was Friday as had gone to Bond Movie with family and went out halfway through as not a fan. Much more exciting looking for bargains.

I spotted in the Southport store yesterday, the children's game Cuponk, priced at (I think) £3.99.

It is basically a plastic cup which flashes lights and sounds when you catch a ball into it.

I think my grown up sons would have loved to play it when they were younger. (I still can't resist looking at toys even though they are now aged 21 and 25!)

Buy them as stocking fillers! Older peeps play Beer pong with them!:D

Well that would explain why I didn't see them on Saturday then if that's where they are :rotfl: I was looking in the toy section for it:o
Am heading back down there tomorrow so will have to have another look for them in the right place this time :rotfl:

Thanks very much
