    Can anyone help with what is hot for an almost 11 year old girl? She has dropped some hints but I don't want to be hunting for hard to find things at the last minute.


    My DD is 11 and i've got her the large lego houses, magacolor 3d , fab effex, crayola catwalk creations, crayola glow explosions, face mask set, charm bead maker, rapidough,

    maybe a couple of things there your daughter would like

    PC World and Currys, have been having quite a few offers lately.
    The last desk top i bought. i actually got from Toys R Us. They are worth checking, especially sometimes as they have managers specials. Where they drastically reduce the in-store ones.

    Does anyone know the best place to get a Fijit, dd wants a purple one, hoping for it at sainsburys but don't know if the stock them?
    Thanks

    Willa Fijit is on offer at Tesco Direct at the moment for 46.00. This is tipped to be the number one toy this year. So i would air on the side of caution and maybe get that one out the way. It may prove elusive nearer Christmas.

    It is worth keeping an eye on the purple Fijit on Amazon, I have seen them go down to £42.00 albeit briefly. I haven't seen them instore at Sainsburys at all and there is a big toy section at my local one and I have been looking because my daughter really wants to try one out. What she doesn't know is I have a little blue fijit friend already stored in my present cupboard and they are fun to play with!

    Thanks for all your replies, think i'd better get it soon then, incase i have trouble, still not sure what it actually is despite, many long and slowly worded descriptions by dd:rotfl::rotfl:

    I've just read on HUKD that Argos are doing a £10 off £50 spend starting tomorrow... (well they give you a £10 voucher when you spend £50).
    The £5 voucher when you spend £30 ends today. I'm looking to buy an electric toothbrush that costs £50.. well 49.99.. :( i'm sure Argos won't give me a voucher as under £50.. there is a toy I'm hoping to get my nephew for xmas and with £10 off voucher it will be the cheapest i've seen it.. but obviously won't get voucher if not over £50 so what is the cheapest thing you can get at Argos? Preferably a toy?

    Do you think it would be better to buy the toothbrush at Boots? Today and Tomorrow (depending on your store) they have christmas shopping evenings.. £12 of points when you spend £50 and would be easier to use add 20p or something...toothbrush is same price there. I'm not sure which is best deal though as I don't think they sell the toy i'm thinking of getting in Boots so couldn't use the points to buy it. I'm not sure which is best deal! Help would be appreciated :)
  • Not sure about the cheapest toy but if you search for gift tags they are £1.49, other cheap items are bulbs or batteries.

    I love the doogie doo game, watch the presenters on BBC Breakfest was so funny, they turned into kids themselves. I think I might put this one down on the list, the kids are going to love it and it might get them to pick up their own dogs mess when we go for walks! lol
    I cannot believe i'm dreading Christmas already! HELP
