Thanks.

I really only shop in BS online so weighing up whether its worth it for me.

the pain is if you shop online your getthe 10% discount and your bday gift (collect in store), but you won't get the card clipped for the 4 and 8 purchases.

sometimes with some of the offers you have to buy a new card to get the offers. xx

You can get some experiences with clubcard vouchers if you have them. Sorry have't done any of them though.

if you subscribe to the local groupon (living social, deal monster etc) sites for their area you'll probably get an experience as good a lot cheaper - just check the expirary date and T&C's carefully.

did the Virgin ED 737 Boeing flight simulator for my son back in April for his birthday as he wants to be a pilot, everything from the site, the booking, the paperwork and the whole day was brilliant, would recommend them highly myself and would book any other ED's through them

ps - also they do have 2 for 1 on their experience days quite often and special offers. don't forget Topcashback, I got 18% back on mine which was well worth having, they paid out pretty fast too

Got the Body Shop deal, thanks, so two more table presents bought. I wonder if the gift cards are transferable, i.e. can I give one to my daughter?

Been to Wilko's this morning and bought a Duplo Police Truck for £10, seems good value when I Googled it at home. Supposed to be half price but I have seen them at £15 in Tesco I think. I also bought a BBC Talking Tardis soft toy for £3.25, supposed to be 75% off and seems to be a good price when I checked. I can't see them online at Wilko so maybe it is just the shops that sell them.

So far, I have put aside two Crayola ? boxes plus these toys for my three grandchildren. I pay into their Child Trust Funds so try to keep presents to less than £25 each at Christmas. A few more little bits and I will manage that target.

You can transfer the card, as you write your own name into the strip, x

In all honeslty I don't think there value for money, if you were using tesco clubcard points then thats different,

For example = virgin wanted £250 per person for balloon flight, I paid £85 per person for Dad and Miss Hooide

another saver - A few yrs ago our neighbour had a voucher - he borrowed our phone to book his trip - rally experience, we hit redial as we knew how much his voucher was and saved nearly 50% by booking direct.

A lot of places will do gift certificates if there for a present.

Sorry I've just been out of sorts lately haven't had time to post, have to say a massive thanks to the person who suggested yak tracks for gran/grandad (sorry I can't find your post now though) I'd never heard of them before and they look really good :-)

Ive just ordered my elf on a shelf fae amazon, £16 delivered which i think is ok, left it too late last year so looking forward to him getting up to mischief this Christmas!
