That ones great
The only ones i can find suitable for toddler age dont seem to contain toys. Theres a light up one. and a pop up one which has good reviews for toddlers .

At 17 months i dont think he'll feel like he's missing out if his brother and sister have toy ones.
If i do come across anything though ill let you know
A couple of years ago i found a great advent calendar in poundstretcher of all places! It was by pukka and it had a little kiddy type make up treat or key ring or phone charm etc behind the doors, i got it for my little sister who was 8 at the time. I secretly wanted it :rotfl:

Just thought i would let you all know in Home Bargains today they had silver,gold and red plain wrapping paper 10 metres for 59p.It is in a lovely matt finish and would look grat with ribbon and bows.So i brought 8 rolls :T.xxxxx
Sorry that should say great lol.

Had a look in my home bargains but none to be found. Also had a browse in B&M and Poundworld but no bargains in wrapping paper unfortunatly.

thanks for all your help searching for me! im going to show the hubby them and then we'll pick which ones are best.

its not so much him feeling that hes missing out, its the other two! if the get something they like him to have the equivilent! which is quite sweet actually because they look after each other

i would love a calendar like this, you should have bought yourself one!

Managed a few hours shopping yesterday, got 3 candles in primark for £2 each, which I dont normally buy cos they usually smell awful! But these are victoria sponge candles and they smell yummy. Wish I'd bought more now.

Also got some giant coasters in Card Factory with funny sayings on, only 99p each. Got my Uncle a golf one and he's really difficult to buy for

They are my first Christmas purchases and they've got me so excited!!!!

Hi ladies has anyone not seen the bodyshop glitch online? They're doing a buy 2 get 2 free offer....I've just ordered 2 x £26 gift sets, 2 x £5 gift cards and received a free shampoo for spending over £10....when I used the promotional code (WINNER) at the till it's knocked off the 2 Giftsets meaning I've only paid £10 + £2.99 postage. And as the £10 I have paid is for the £10 worth of giftcards it's virtually like getting your money back so I only had to pay the £2.99 postage BARGAIN!!!! Give it a go while the giftcards are still in stock my fellow Christmas elves
