Skylanders are HUGE in my house. My daughter has the range of Skylanders and giants and is well on her way to saving the Skylands from the evil Kaos. This cool pack comes with the characters Pop Fizz, Whirlwind and Trigger Happy and I find they work brilliantly as rewards for excellent behaviour – I call it ‘incentivised training’..

Just so you’re in the know.. Trigger Happy lives up to his name turning up in a small village one day with his custom-crafted shooters and saving it from bandits. Pop Fizz is known to be a little crazy, his experiments are reckless, and the accidents they cause are on a dangerous scale. Whirlwind is an air dragon with unicorn ancestry, harnessing the tempest power within her. She uses her ferocity in a brilliant and powerful rainbow that can be seen throughout Skylands. As well as these exciting characters, Nintendo have included trading cards, stickers and posters, adding an exciting touch to your game.

Then I found this little nugget from Argos! Ceramic (so it’ll bounce when thrown!) and featuring a cute design of a bunny, mouse and puppy I reckon I’m on to a winner! It’s dishwasher safe (can’t tell you how many plastic plates Ive thrown away after the Princess peels off after a wash in the dishwasher!) and suitable for little hands and at only £14.99 I’m sold!

So if you’re stuck for a gift check this out – not only are you saving 25% but you’ll get a mug, plate, spoon and bowl that’ll be used and loved for years.

Love her or loathe her, Meryl Streep portrayed Baroness Thatcher’s life and love of Denis so perfectly in ‘The Iron Lady’ and I wanted to run away to a gorgeous island just like her in Mama Mia (who knew she could sing? And dance!)

Fancy Dress Discounts @ Debenhams

Debenhams has reduced the price on a range of fancy dress items and accessories which will be brilliant as gifts, or perhaps to prepare for Halloween. You can get all sorts of items here, but the theme is very much towards girly stuff.

There is a Melissa & Doug doll nappy bag set down by 20%, a Disney Princess Shimmer Dust set that’s down from £5 to £4 – not a huge saving, but a nice one nonetheless – and a girl’s Cinderella wig that’s been reduced from £8 to £6.40.

The Disney Princess Rapunzel costume is down from £16 6o £12.80 and the Disney Princess Sleeping Beauty dress is the same price. You can also get the Spiderman muscle dress up outfit, although the reviews on that one look pretty dismal, and finally there is the Cinderella costume that’s had the same tasty discount as Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty.

8Ft Quick Set Ring Pool £20 @ Very

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 20 May, 2013 at 9:00 am

8Ft Quick Set Ring Pool £20 @ Very

This is a startlingly good deal, and one that should make you do a little frolic of excitement if you have even a little bit of space in your garden this summer. Here Very is selling the 8ft quick set ring pool for only £20. It was on sale for £50 so you are saving £30 off the original price. Nice.

This luxury 8ft swimming pool has plenty of room inside for friends and family to splash around this summer. It is made from high-quality, durable materials with super-durable, triple-layer Polystrength PVC with polyester inner mesh sidewalls. Sound strong enough to you?

The pool can take most of the hardcore splashing about that kids (and adults!) can do and is a brilliant addition to any garden this summer. What amuses me is that they have a special offer where you can take three and save. Not sure what you would do with three of these pools, but hey, why not!

Mamas & Papas Bop Highchair Green £24.99 @ Argos

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 19 May, 2013 at 6:00 pm

Mamas & Papas Bop Highchair Green £24.99 @ Argos

This adorable Mamas & Papas Bop highchair has been marked down from £54.99 to £24.99 at Argos. This is less than half the original price and you can collect instore to save on the delivery charges.

The green Bop highchair from Mamas & Papas looks insanely overpriced at £54.99 to me. Are you spending that much money because of the brand name or because it is a superior design? I’m not inclined to believe it is the latter if I am honest. I got a cheap and cheerful highchair for only £10 and it worked just fine.

This is a great deal for fans of the brand though as it has features such as a removable tray and a five-point harness. That’s it though, and it really doesn’t look very comfortable at all for poor baby. I wouldn’t recommend it, but if this is your cup of tea, then the price is very definitely right.

Trunki Paddlepak Pink £8 @ Halfords

Trunki Paddlepak Pink £8 @ Halfords

This is a pretty sweet deal from Halfords. You can buy the Trunki Paddlepak in pink for only £8. This usually costs £19.99 instore so you are saving 59% off the usual retail price with a tidy sum of £11.99. How very lovely and useful for those swimming fans of pink out there.

The pink Trunki Paddlepak is ideal for days out, trips to the beach, for swimming lessons or days by the pool or school. It is made from a lightweight and waterproof and durable material with an ingenious roll top that creates a wide opening for easy packing.

You twist it three times to create a dry seal to prevent wet contents from leaking through, and it clips together with Trunki’s patent pending breakaway safety buckle. It also has a neoprene tail fin that doubles as a dry pocket, a hi-vis reflective trim and the unique Trunki grip to keep sunglasses or goggles close to hand. At this price it’s a sure fire win.

Lego City Passenger Train £59.98 @ ASDA

Lego City Passenger Train £59.98 @ ASDA

ASDA has reduced the price on the Lego City Passenger Train from £79.97 to £59.98 which is a neat and tidy saving of £19.99. That’s almost the price of half another Lego set in savings! Of course you do need to add on the extra delivery charges which are £2.95 for standard delivery.

The new high-speed passenger train is ready to pick up and drop off passengers at the Lego City Station. Handle up to eight trains at a time through the tight curves of the new flexible tracks using the new eight-channel, seven-speed infrared remote control. This is pretty darn cool.

The set includes three minifigures, one train driver, two passengers, two engines with opening control rooms, a passenger car with opening roof and space for six passengers, a train station platform, a full circle of 16 curved tracks and 16 flexible tracks, one traffic light and a power functions box. This is a fantastic price for a brilliant train set.

Hill's Dog Biscuits + Free Toy @ ZooPlus

Hill's Dog Biscuits + Free Toy @ ZooPlus

Zooplus is offer a tennis ball on a rope FREE when you buy a large bag of Hill’s Science Plan dog food. Plus they’re discounting the large bag of Hills dog food from £38.59 to just £36.90. With a variety of flavours to choose from this deal is a must for dog lovers plus you and your best friend will get some exercise and outdoor time.

Hill's Science Plan dog food is of only the best quality. It strictly avoids harmful nutritional excesses and sets high standards in canine nutrition. It contains everything an adult, senior, junior, overweight, or active dog needs. Aside from the many tasty flavours (according to my Labrador), Hill's dry dog food range also offers special diet variants, such as Oral Care and Sensitive Skin.

My vet put me onto Hill’s when I go my Lab puppy and since then he’s gone from strength to strength. Studies have shown that good nutrition can help stave off canine diseases like hip dysplasia giving your canine family member a longer, healthier life. Talking about a long life – exercise and fitness are vital for your dog (and you!) so this tennis ball on a rope is not only fun, it’ll provide you both with hours of exercise and bonding time. It’s easy to throw and because of the attached rope you'll be able to avoid contact with the slobbery ball by picking it up by the rope instead! As I have discovered with my Lab, no toy is indestructible so you’ll need to supervise your pet with this toy and check the toy regularly for damage to avoid potential injury to your pet.

So get out into the Spring sunshine, breathe the fresh air and spend a bit of time with your best friend this weekend!

Stylish Savings on Kids Shoes @ Shoes.co.za

New season new savings! Get an incredible £19.90 off these cute girls’ Lelli Kelly Cuori sandals from Shoes.co.za. Previously £44.90 they’re marked down to an unbelievable £25! With this kind of saving and the wide variety of shoes on offer at Shoes.co.uk you can shop for the whole family online and, if you’re prepared to wait 48 hours, delivery is free!

New this season from Lelli Kelly is the pretty navy Cuori Sandal. Patterned with hearts, these sandals feature interchangeable straps to give a choice of summery flower petals or a smart bow, perfect for a party! Lovely and comfy to wear, the uppers are made out of leather allowing little feet a bit of give as they grow.

I don’t think Imelda Marcos loved shoes as much as I do and my daughter is following closely in my footsteps. As soon as she could walk she’s been wandering around the house in my heels (always the red ones – strange..) Shopping with her is a nightmare – actually getting out of a shoe shop with only ONE pair of shoes is a nightmare which is why I love shopping at Shoes.co.uk. Their fashionable range of shoes, boots, sandals, trainers and outdoor footwear makes it so easy to buy shoes for the whole family – and I don’t have to deal with a tantrum in a shoe shop! So don't let your little girl miss out on a pair of these this summer.

It’s forward facing with improved side impact protection through deep softly padded side wings and can fully recline without disturbing your child.

It also features a 5-point safety harness with one-pull adjustment and has Performance chest pads to reduce your child’s forward movement in the event of an impact. But by far the biggest feature for me is that its light making the transfer of seat from my car to my husband’s easy and bruise-free.

Suitable from 9 months to 4 years, the Britax Eclipse car seat’s cover can be removed and washed so no more grubby car seat that draws comments from your mother when she gets into the car with you!

10 Kids Books for £10 @ The Works

The Works is offering a ’10 books for £10’ on selected kids books. And considering that each book retails for between £4.99 and £9.99 EACH, that’s a saving of up to 85%

Their current ’10 kids books for £10’ offer applies to a selected range of books from ‘The Worst Princess’ and ‘My Giant Fairytale Sticker Book’ to the Octonauts series.

The favourite part of my day is lying next to my daughter reading her a bedtime story. Unfortunately her bookshelf is a little limited and she keeps choosing the same books over and over again so I try to make it interesting for myself by embellishing the story slightly. Previously she used to find this hilarious but not that she can read I’m pretty much snookered.. With this fabulous deal from The Works my little princess can now be entertained by a whole range of new kids books which she can actually read to me for a change! And with free delivery for orders over £25 there are a couple of things on the website that I’ll be adding to her order for me!

The zoo also helps to develop hand-to-eye co-ordination skills, motor skills and lots of fun skills. The set needs a pack of four AA batteries, which are initially included. This set is suitable for kids from 18 months old and it comes with eight animals, three HappyLand people, one gift shop, one zoo entrance/animal enclosure, one monkey tree swing, one penguin slide and pool, and one train.
