Local Grabbit? Trunkis for reduced prices in Boots

Went to Boots in Dartford, Kent last week and they were selling normal blue trunkis for £16.50 and special edition princess and fire engine ones for £19.99.They still had other trunkis for £37, so maybe these were old stock, in which case it may be nationwide? Went in yesterday and they were all still there to my surprise, probably because they are tucked out of the way.

Let me know if you're intetested and I'll let you know where they are.
Smiles are contagious :D

    Calnmui - Not sure if it will interest you, or perhaps it might help other people who cant find them in Boots, but I got one for £20 from Stanfords online. Brilliant service and very cheap postage. They have a couple of designs at £20:

    London 2012 Edition (very similar to Team GB): http://www.stanfords.co.uk/Activities-and-Interests/Childrens/London-2012-Trunki_5055192200801.htm

    HTH:)

    Could you let me know? I have a Tiger one for my eldest son so would love to get one for my baby- the fire engine one sounds ideal!

    Yes, they are upstairs, at the side of the tills/photo processing bit. There are also other trunki stuff reduced like headrests to £5.99 (1-4 yrs) and £6.99 (4-8 yrs), the backpacks that can be used for drawing £9.99, the flimsy small case thing £4.99, wrist purses £2.99, washbags £4.99. I think thats it! HTH

  • Thanks to JWD for posting this. I have been this morning and bought the last princess one & a fire engine one. My Children are delighted :-) Just an update they only had 2 red fire engine ones left, still lots of Trunki accessories though.
