Mothercare has reduced the Chicco Polly Swing Up from £149.99 to £74.99 in their half price sale. This item is still very expensive but at half price, it may be worth looking at if you want one of this singing, dancing doodads.

The Chicco Polly Swing Up is done up in the Sea Dreams theme and is available for either instore collection or home delivery. It offers a two position reclining seat back rest with soft and luxuriously padded fabric on the seat itself.

The Chicco Polly Swing Up includes an insert for newborns which can be removed as baby grows and a five-point restraint harness. The removable entertainment control until can be used as a remote to operate the swing at a distance and there is a removable snack tray too.

The seat has a soothing vibration unit with different swing speeds and has melodies, nature sounds and a mum heart beat too. There are three hanging soft toys and an adjustable sun canopy too. In short, this Chicco swing has everything you could possibly need except for a coffee maker.

This Roald Dahl book collection includes six different titles for only £9.99 instead of the usual £25 at Choices UK. Delivery is free and you can expect it pretty quickly as they are really good, at least from what I’ve experienced.

There are six Roald Dahl favourites in this box set including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator (those aliens gave me the wiggins as a child), Danny Champion of the World, George’s Marvellous Medicine, The BFG and The Twits.

The Roald Dahl box set comes with fun and fascinating extra material that offers a sneak peek into the wonderful world of Dahl making it a pretty awesome collection and an amazing pressie. This set would be brilliant for kids to read on their own, or for parents to read to them. It’s a lush trip down memory lane and superb entertainment.

Argos has reduced the Hello Kitty Sensory Play Den from £19.99 to only £7.99 which is less than half the original price. It’s a great gift for little ones who are looking for some entertainment while parents get some essential household chores done and dusted.

• Click here to get Hello Kitty at Argos

The Hello Kitty Sensory Play Den is for active little kids who love to explore and plunge to the depths of a ball pool. This beautifully designed Hello Kitty pop-up play den can be filled with balls and beanbags so you child can hunt for them and dig them out and have tons of fun in the process.

The Hello Kitty Sensory den includes stimulating colours and comes with three beanbags to hunt for. I don’t believe it comes with the balls though, so you may have to spend some extra cash to get yourself a bag or two of those to throw in there. They are selling the pink ones at Argos for £4.99.

Amazon has reduced a substantial number of their Orchard Toys games which range from the cute to the educational to the brilliantly fun. You can choose from a list of around 152 different items and most of them have been reduced.

• Click here to get your orchard at Amazon

Just by clicking the link above you will be taken through to a page of tasty reductions on Orchard Toys. From Shopping List that is down to £5 from £7.25 to the Magic Cauldron which is down from £11.50 to £9.19. And most of these games come with free Amazon delivery.

As I mentioned earlier, not all the Orchard Toys games are reduced or included in the sale. There are several that have not been adjusted so you’ll have to skip on by those chaps. However, there are enough different games to choose from with decent enough savings to make a visit worthwhile.

This is a brilliant time to nab some toys and games for upcoming birthday parties!

This is a very tasty deal for those of you with two little ones in tow. You get this Graco Stadium Duo Orbit Pushchair for only £84.50 instead of the usual £169, a very nice saving indeed.

• Click here to push on over to Sainsburys

The Stadium Duo is ideal for parents with two young children who are close together in age. It has excellent manoeuvrability and can still fit through a standard width door. Helpful if you have narrow areas to navigate with your pushchair!

The back seat is higher than the front so both children can see out. The front seat is suitable for children aged 6 months and up while the back seat is suitable for a newborn and can be used as a travel system by adding a Graco car seat.

The five-point harnesses provide extra safety while you are on the move and the Graco Duo has a one hand fold system too. There is a super size front basket, front swivel and lockable wheels, two large sun/rain canopies and it is half the original price. Tasty.

The TrayKit is a child’s backpack that can strap onto plane and train tables to create an extended play surface. This particular TrayKit is down from £24.99 to only £12.49 at Sainsburys in their clearance sale.

• Click here to get a tray at Sainsburys 

The TrayKit pictured here is apparently a “boys” one but I don’t see why it needs to be gender specific at all. It can be used to hang from front seats in cars, on train and plane tables, and be extended to create a big play surface for kids.

You can pack it with pens, paper, toys, electronic games, make-up (huh?), snacks and anything else you could need for keeping the small ones entertained while you travel. It keeps everything together and stops things from rolling onto the floor.

Personally I think that this is a genius invention! If it works, that is. What a clever idea. I think it is something to be added to my wish list, especially at this low price.

I have to confess that I am only writing this deal because I know so many people really want to get one of these devices for their kids. I think they are a very costly waste of money but this discount, £15 off the original price, on the Vtech InnoTab is great for those of you who want one of these.

• Click here to get your tab from Play.com

The Vtech InnoTab is basically a tablet for kids complete with educational features, games, activities and plenty more. While it certainly looks cool and does lots of fun things, I think that you will end up saving money in the long term by simply buying a proper tablet instead.

This is a multi-functional touch-screen tablet that helps kids to develop core skills in reading, drawing, and other such activities. The Vtech InnoTab is suitable for kids aged 4-9 years old and is compatible with other Vtech products (not all, so read the instructions). You do, however, have to fork out for all the apps and, at nearly £30 per app, they are very expensive.

So, last week I bravely confessed to having lost my waist measurements and so could not properly asses exactly how many inches I had lost (if any) after a week of religiously using the Slendertone Abs kit. This week I can confirm that I have had some results.

I have been following their “passive” programme to the letter with a 25-30 minute session every day. I have to say that I do love these products. I do “normal” exercise for about an hour every day but these are so relaxing that it is hard to believe I am getting a workout at the same time. You can also do their Active Programme which is when you wear the belt while simultaneously doing crunches and other such stomach exercises.

The first time you use the Slendertone Abs belt the programme is set to level 1 which is about 20mins of exercise at 14 micro-coulombs. This is very mild and you adjust the intensity manually – you keep going up until you feel your muscles contract. Start off easy though, it can hurt if you go too far.

The included manual also has stomach exercise guidelines and advice so if you are new to exercising your abs and are not sure where to start, then this will help you get the basics down pat. I also recommend looking at YouTube videos as there are plenty of pros offering you advice out there.

I lost half an inch in the past week and used the Slendertone Abs belt every day barring Saturday and Sunday. I ignored the advice to have a day’s break as I do my exercise routines the same way – 5 days on, two days off – as it fits in with my schedule. This isn’t exactly a huge loss but I am really pleased with the results. I’ll let you know how it goes next week!

I love this PlayPennies exclusive 10% discount deal because the idea is really, really clever. Ever briefly wandered off from your towel on the beach only to have it blown away in the wind and get covered in sand? Well, here is your solution and at a lovely discount price.

• Click here to get your beach towel clipped

• Discount: 10%

• Promotional code: BTC01

• Expires: 30 June 2012

The Beach Towel Clip comes in a handy set of four clips that, when snapped apart, simply slip into the sand and hold down the four corners of your towel. Say goodbye to searching for stones on the beach or using other random items to keep that towel flat.

Now you can just find your spot, lay down your towel and carefully push the Beach Towel Clips into place. Ta da! There are plenty of videos and advice on the site so you can see how to use the devices and you can buy them pretty much anywhere in the world. Lovely.

This Tinkerbell double pack of DVDs includes Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure and Tinkerbell and the stories are based on the original character from the Peter Pan books. These usually cost around £19.99 each so this price for both is really good!

I have to admit that I am very impressed with Choices UK. I ordered the Horrible Histories DVD from them last week and it arrived in two days. Unlike HMV who tend to send stuff only after about three months (not kidding).

In the first Tinkerbell movie, Pixie Hollow comes under threat and Tinkerbell has to use her mystical, miniature powers to rescue their home. The second movie, Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure, sees the troublesome fairy having to save Pixie Hollow yet again as she tries to capture the Harvest Moon.

These are very cute stories, probably way too icky sweet for adults to enjoy, but my daughter loves these.

I was rather excited by this review. I love gadgets and tech so getting a device that I could plonk on my fridge that would leave messages for my offspring and husband seemed like a genius idea. The Fridge Friend comes in a small box with minimal packaging and costs £24.99 and you can get them by getting in touch with Ideasbynet.com through the website.

The Fridge Friend is small but not stupidly tiny. It has a decently sized screen for what it is supposed to do and is very easy to use. You don’t get batteries included so you’ll need two AAA batteries lying around to get it going. Then you press the ON button for a few seconds and soon your face will appear on the screen.

Recording is simple. Press the button, make your recording, press the button again. However, you do need to hold this device as far away from your face as possible because when I first did it the playback sound was horrendous. It burred and spat and roared at me. This takes off a fairly hefty whack of points here. When I stuck it to the fridge (magnet on the back) and stood further away, the sound quality was much better on playback but still not great.

I left a message for my daughter as I was away in meetings one night and she loved it, although it made her miss her mommy! She has carried it around with her ever since, leaves loads of messages for me and her daddy, and demands messages from whoever is away.

The Fridge Friend gets an average 7/10 for me. The price is high and the sound quality poor. However, it redeems itself with originality, looks, ease of use, quality of technology and the fact that it has huge sentimental value.

I remember when Special Agent Oso toys were impossible to find anywhere, when they would fire out of stock faster than Disney could make them. Now, those of you who couldn’t lay your hands on one for love or money can nab him for a discount!

• Click here to get Special Agent Oso at Disney Store

This Special Agent Oso toy is scrummy and soft and he is marked down from a hefty £18 to a far more palatable £12.60. Whoever is the recipient of this Special Agent Oso toy has only one assignment – to make sure that he is smothered with loves and cuddles.

He has soft velour fur, a bean bag tummy and he is wearing a sweet little jacket and his special agent watch. The Special Agent Oso soft toy pictured here is exclusive to the Disney Store and he is about 30x20cm in size.

I find that the Disney Store products are usually very overpriced so this discount makes it far easier to spend the money on a toy many kids love.

Tesco has reduced this really cute Disney Princess trolley case from £20 to only £10 in their clearance sale. It is exactly half the original price and you get 10 Clubcard points at the same time. You can either collect instore or arrange for delivery.

This Disney Princess trolley case is pink with a bright and bold picture of the four Disney princesses on the front. You’ll see Cinderella, Aerial, Sleeping Beauty and Belle in their ballgowns. The case is made from polyester and has a trolley base for easy portability.

The case has a fully extendable handle for your child to drag the case through airports and other such destinations and the Disney trolley case comes with two compartments for your child to store holiday clothes and toys. The smaller compartment is ideal for books and toys to entertain them in flight.

The lightweight Disney trolley case is an ideal size for cabin luggage so they can take it with them everywhere they go. Nice.

The Vtech soft singing phone is a great learning toy for babies aged three months and over and Argos has marked it down from the usual £10.19 to only £3.49. This is a great saving of less than half off the original price.

• Click here to get phoning with Argos

The Vtech soft singing phone is not available for delivery at the moment but you can arrange to collect instore, which saves you nicely on the delivery charges anyway! This is an entirely non-breakable mirror phone that has some features to help a child’s development.

According to Vtech the soft singing phone mirror promotes self-awareness while the fabric and plastic materials used over the rest of the phone are great for tactile exploration. The bright colours and flashing lights promote visual exploration and there are also animal sound effects for extra fun.

The Vtech soft singing phone has fun phrases, phone sounds and animal noises and will need you to feed it two AA batteries that are included at first.

This clever and reversible Disney costume is perfect for everyday playtime or dressing up parties. The set comes with a tiara that has a plastic jewel detail and the dress can switch between one mood and the next with a simple twist.

I love these dresses. They are so darn clever, especially the way they are stitched together. This particular set is one we got a while ago and it is still very much loved by my daughter in spite of the fact that it isn’t her size anymore.

You can’t find these dresses for such a low price anywhere so this is a total bargain, and the sizes are available from age 3 to age five.
