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 :)

I got a few toys at 30% off in the early learning centre part of debenhams.

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

Boots have lots of toys in there 3 for 2 christmas offers, including leapfrog, fisher price elc and lots more. :)

toys r us has a fantastic sale on at the min for children of all ages a lot of things have 50% off!!!

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!

Kia thanks for the info :) Sophie was born just before Christmas so a free toy for her bday is a BIG YES YES :)

We bought her a bike from toys r us it is on the offer 20 pounds off , they come in different colours http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Product.aspx/TruHome/TruBikesWheeledGoods/TruBikesWheeledGoodsScootersTrikes/737836?ref=Search but cant wait till Christmas so decided to start now :) Need another idea for her pressie now haha

Hello,
According to my auntie, get your parents to register with elc as your lo's grandparents. They will also recieve 20% vouchers per each child! Every penny saved goes a long way! xxx

Bumpety Bump , thats sounds almost to good to be true but I'll definitely give it a go :)

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!!

hi...my wee girl had just turned 4, and we joined the birthday club a while back...the free present was just a wee paper domino game...not anything special..but its still great that you get a voucher X

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

amelia21 - my LO has a 'Bee Bop Band' that is a drum with other instruments/toys in it & he loves bashing the drum & cymbals...he looks a bit like 'Animal' the way he goes at them! lol!

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 :)

Mamas n papas have a sale on their website with 50% off clothing, sale on toys, pushchairs and nusery furniture x

play . com as a BOGOF on baby einstein DVDs - don't know if they're any good but free delivery and free second one sounds good to me!
