To use this code, go to the Shopping Bag page and enter it in the Promotion Code box. It is applied automatically to your order. If you type the code in make sure you use upper case letters. It didn't work for me when I entered lower case letters the first time.

I tested the code out on three pairs of jogging bottoms I bought for my son. These were all already reduced in the sale. The code took another 10% off each item, with the free delivery overall I saved nearly £20 on the original retail price.

The code will work on clothes including children's clothing but it excludes beauty and fragrances, electricals, furniture, experiences, handling and delivery charges, personalised wedding stationery, large kitchen appliances, flowers, all concessions, Ben Sherman, Fred Perry, Baker by Ted Baker and B by Ted Baker.

Five Fabulous Free Activities For Preschoolers

by Lynley Oram in Features on 20 May, 2013 at 1:00 pm

Five Fabulous Free Activities For PreschoolersBaby has  taken his or her first toddling steps. They can get about, and you feel rather proud. This is a huge achievement.

The thing is, what they want to do now is walk everywhere. Get back in that pushchair? Are you mad?! And a toddler has their own agenda when it comes to getting anywhere. In fact, getting anywhere at all seems to be pretty optional for them.

They like going out. Some will be sociable, and want to mix with other children. Some won't and will prefer your company. But from now until they go to school they will want to go out and do things - and so will you. It is fun!

Activities at this stage are generally best if they offer a mix of stuff to do, which includes the ability to run, fast, in any direction they want.

So what do other parents recommend? I drew on the collective experience of our PlayPennies parents, scoured the internet, and asked every parent I know.

Baby Weavers Brunch Highchair £15 @ Kiddicare

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 18 May, 2013 at 6:00 pm

Baby Weavers Brunch Highchair £15 @ KiddicareIf you like the look of this one then be quick, I can't imagine it will last long. Not with Kiddicare selling the Baby Weavers Brunch Highchair - Lime Zest for £15 instead of the RRP of £60. That's a saving of 70%.

Suitable for babies from six months onwards, the Baby Weavers Brunch Highchair works as a standard high chair complete with a tray.

The robust plastic and aluminium frame is lightweight and the Highchair can be used up to toddlers of 3 years. The spacious seat is wipe clean and has a 5 point harness.

Features:

  • Suitable from 6 Months+
  • 5 Point harness
  • Wipe Clean

All the reviews on the website are positive. This is typical of what customers had to say: "A lovely stylish neat high hair easy to assemble and easy to clean. If I had to pick a complaint that I could change it would be that it doesn't fold up. This was bought for our fourth child and in the past we've bought booster chairs that attach to normal chairs, but thought this time would be easier for our son to have his own high chair that could be stored away. However, as it doesn't fold up has to be left out....... but that's the only thing we would change."

Panasonic HC-V520 Full HD Camcorder Review

Panasonic HC-V520 Full HD Camcorder ReviewI'd forgotten about camcorders. And digital cameras for that matter. Ever since I first got my smartphone, I just stopped using them. Why would you need to carry a separate recording device around with you when you have one on your phone, already in your pocket?

Panasonic showed me why. The company sent in the Panasonic HC-V520 full high-definition (HD) camcorder for us to review. Read on to find out more!

The Love 'Em Or Loathe 'Em Baby Items

by Lynley Oram in Features on 13 May, 2013 at 1:00 pm

The Love 'Em Or Loathe 'Em Baby ItemsEvery year we look at the baby essentials, the stuff you really will need if you're about to become new parents. And we also look at the stuff you can safely avoid. Like nappy disposal bins - to be honest a bin with a lid does the same job.

But there are the in-between items. The ones that some parents can't do without, while other parents find indispensable. The problem is, until baby arrives you just won't know whether this applies to you, or not.

These are the items that you should look at borrowing, buying second-hand, or waiting until baby is born. And here's a handy list for you to check off against your own shopping list as you prepare for that imminent arrival. This could save you quite a lot of dosh in the long term.

Grow & Play Wooden Building Blocks £4.99 @ Sainsbury's

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 12 May, 2013 at 4:00 pm

Grow & Play Wooden Building Blocks £4.99 @ Sainsbury'sCan a growing toddler have enough blocks to play with? The answer, according to my son at that age, was no. There are never enough blocks. This set looks lovely, and Sainsbury's has reduced to half price too. The Grow & Play Wooden Building Blocks are now £4.99, down from £9.99. The reduction runs out on the 14th of May.

These sorts of toy are a great way to encourage imaginative play. Indeed they were part of all my son's games, and one piece in particular - which we called Green Rod - became his absolute best friend and had to go everywhere with him. In fact we were so scared of losing Green Rod we went out and bought a second set just in case. Well as any parent knows there's nothing more stressful than the fear of losing that toy your child won't let go of  or go to sleep without!

Grow & Play Wooden Building Blocks' different shapes let little ones explore their imaginations to build anything from a tower to a castle. Made from pine, they're a wonderfully tactile way to play. Suitable for children aged one year and over. Warning! Not suitable for children under one year of age due to small parts.
