Anybody know how much the amazon fire kids tabs usually go to during the Black Friday event?

Last year the newest version dropped to £100 in October but I’m sure it then went to £80 between then and Christmas, not sure if that was Black Friday or not though

I bought my first presents today! Nothing too exciting, just 3 arty sets that were half price or better in Tesco.. have also made a list of a few things to order in the hopes that Argos have a 3 for 2 soon (have seen in a few places it will start this Friday, but who knows!)

Our eldest two would like hover boards this year. Will get them some lil bits also. So if anyone has any good recs for hoverboards or advice would be appreciated! Youngest will be 4 that month not sure what we'll get him for the moment x

Thanks for the Argos info! I’ve not seen anything about it!

This will be my first christmas with 2 and i've no idea what to buy for either of them. Baby will be 11 months so have to think of things for christmas and birthday.

I keep coming on hoping today will be the day the grotto opens properly! In the mean time I'm watching last years christmas videos on you tube! It's literally just given me the idea of getting DD a mermaid blanket for her stocking.

It normally opens in the first week of September when all the kiddos are back at school

As we still have PLENTY of time, I'm thinking of ordering accessories and small stocking bits from Wish/China sites to save on cost.

That’s a good idea Smartie ! Think I will go and have a look there myself thanks !

Thanks for the mermaid blanket idea too .

I love this thread !

Same here hun. My plan to get for my son who like yours will be 11 months, a walker, some mega blocks (I gave away my daughters old ones recently :doh some hard back books (pop up books etc) and as a joint present was going to buy both kids a trampoline. I realise it won't be the weather for it but they'd both get use out of it once the weather gets better plus its too expensive to buy for just one! My daughter is similar age to yours and she is getting an electric ride on car for her birthday in a few weeks and some incredibles 2 toys (she's obsessed) her Christmas will be a new bike I think and the trampoline then just some smaller toys I'll decide closer to the time as she changes her mind constantly.

I've started on the girls birthday...got them both a mermaid blanket from Aldi. Only £9.99.

My mum started her christmas shopping today and picked the girls up superhero dolls.

From September I'm going to out away £30-50 a week to save for Xmas (presents, food, santa trip etc)

Tesco have playdoh sets, Crayola crayons, paints, sets and other stationary sets on sale 50% off. Great deal and worth putting away for Christmas, they also have water/sand tables for £15 which would make a nice gift too.

Aww hi Jessy! I’ve not been on much since the TTC thread, what did you call your little boy? DD just had her birthday last week and she got a scooter and some bits. She’s so changeable in her tastes.

I started my lists today.

If you have any siblings that you secretly hate, buy their kids this gem

No I'm more a stalker than a poster these days but I always come back for the grotto!

We called him Austin Finlay. What about you? It's hard to believe they are 6.5 months already and even thinking about Christmas is slightly upsetting because it means I also have to think about his 1st birthday and I'm just not sure I am ready for that

Was just looking for the same info but cannot find and end date . I’m thinking it might end Sunday/Monday ?

 

[CaptainMummy]

I have ordered 3 lol biggie pets, 3 lol pets and 3 lol glam glitter balls (yes, my girls are obsessed, we already have over 100) as well as a wonder woman costume, Ker plunk and twister.
