Subject : Christmas bargains! Happy

Hi girls and babies,
as I'm a little Christams obssesed mummy I thought it would be good if we start sharing ideas for gifts for our gorgeous girls and boys. Theres lot of bargains out there so if you find something thats chepaer than in other shop let us know;) Every saved penny means more left for another pressie;)
I found that mamas&papas rocking animal Charlie Catterpillar is 60 pounds in their shop or website but Tesco direct sell them fo just under 50 !:) 10 pounds difference is alot to me;)

Waiting to hear all your ideas and bargains you discovered :)

Amelia x

I found that Lamaze toys are cheaper in Fenwicks department stores than anywhere else - Braedon loves them!

If your babys birthday is around christmas, join the ELC birthday club - free toy for the birthday up to age 6, and 20% off voucher! Thats where we plan on getting some of coles pressies once the voucher arrives!! 20% off = bargain!

Also - boots have got some cool baby toys in the 3 for 2 christmas shop.. dying to get him some of those ..doing my best to persuade my brother to send me money so I can get them for Cole from him but he refuses to christmas shop till 24th Dec.. leaving it a bit late really seeing as he's in afghanistan! lol!

Toys r us had a good deal on 3 for 2 on baby doll range (You & Me range) a few weeks ago (not sure if still on tho' sorry). it pretty good for smaller babies - tbh, my lo is not getting any "normal" baby toys, as she has what the boys have had (mainly Little People which i think is great), so it is bit too old for her at 1, but she should be playing with itbout 18 months.......

Oh that sounds like a bargain..the more 20% off teh better - although I think if the birthday club have your email then they just email you a voucher. my friend gave me a copy of the voucher she got by email when it was her daughters birthday. Handy to have friends with kids who's birthdays are at different times of the year...discount all year round!!

Yeah i'm after the voucher mainly :)
Does anyone has a good musical toy to recommend? I was thinking about musical table, or perhaps a little baby piano thing or a xylophone. Sophie loves to banfg things together to get any kind of sound. So I want something to turn her creative very noisy mess into the music Happy

Boots have a set of 4 hand held musical instruments in their christmas shop.

Also seen bath drums that you fill with water and they make different sounds depending on how much water is in them. They were in The Works, and also I think ELC

I found a great baby piano/xylophone from ELC ,it was only 12.50 :) http://www.elc.co.uk/toy/xylopiano/ The only problem is we can't wait until Christmas and gave it to Sophie now, bad mummy and daddy ! Thought she will play nicely but shes proving to be a bit of a rock star, she punches it so hard that she needs to close her eyes every sec from all the noise :)
