Pixum also has fabulous gift ideas for any occasion so this year I won’t be frantically running round a mall on the 23^rd of December (like last year and the year before and..) because I’ve decided to gift my whole family with a gorgeous picture of my six year old on a tablet case, notebook, mug and smartphone case. Christmas sorted in May? Brilliant!

I think that this may be the longest product name title for a PlayPennies review yet and it is a worthy product for such an honour. Oh yes, it really is. I adore bath products and I’ve used all sorts of different types, styles, shapes and monetary values. It takes quite a bit to make me sigh with delight or go “Oooh!”

The Champneys spa indulgence mousse did just that for two reasons. The first is the fact that it is so unusual. I’ve used mousse in my hair and on my skin, but never as a shower soap before. Maybe I’m not as au fait with the world of bath products as I thought I was, but this is still quite a novelty. And what makes it even more special is how utterly clever it is.

When you use normal bath gel or soap you tend to get far more than you need onto the sponge. Or you spill a bunch, or you have to keep reapplying because it doesn’t stay on the sponge. Not the case with this Champneys mousse. No. Here you give a few squirts of the mousse onto your cloth or sponge of choice, you shower, you don’t run out. Well, I haven’t!

The second reason is that the Champneys spa indulgence Distant Shores mousse smells divine. You don’t smell like you have stepped out of a dodgy boudoir nor do you smell cheap, instead it leaves a fresh and slightly spicy note on your skin that catches your nose as you move, but doesn’t impact on your perfume. I absolutely love this product.

However, the price tag is quite high. The Champneys Spa Indulgence Distant Shores Shower Mousse costs about £8 at Boots*. It has lasted me a month and shows no signs of running low, so this does bode well for the product’s value for money, but £8 is quite steep if you’re on a tight budget

Character has reduced a range of cool, erm, character clothing and pyjamas to incredibly low prices. The Phineas & Ferb PJ set is only 95p and you can get other items such as the Chuggington swimbag for 95p and the Fireman Sam canvas shoes for £1.95.

Toys R Us has reduced this awesome Christmas gift from £15.99 to £14.99. Okay, it’s not a massive discount but it’s still a fabulous gift.

Sea Monkeys exist in suspended inside their tiny eggs for many years. Hatch your own Sea Monkeys and watch them grow right in front of your eyes! The set comes with a tank that you place the eggs into and watch them hatch and grow. You can then take your Sea Monkeys with you wherever you go by transferring them into the wrist aquarium.

Feast your eyes on this mountain of colour from Play Doh and Toys R Us. The pack includes 15 cans of brightly coloured Play Doh for a lovely £9.99. The original price was £14.99 so you’re saving £5.00, thank you Toys R Us!

• Click here the Play Doh Mountain of Colour from toys R Us

You’ll have hours of creative educational fun for your child with Play Doh's mountain of colour. Your children can mould and create lots of artistic and colourful models and play friends. We all loved Play Doh as kids and I have to be honest, I always thought the bought stuff was way cooler than the homemade stuff (sorry Mum). Either way though I loved playing with it and creating everything from pictures to animals.

The Play Doh Mountain of Colours pack includes 15 cans of Play Doh and a variety of cutters. I always think it’s worth getting a big pack with all sorts or colours; it lasts for ages (when the kids don’t mix all the colours together and we land up with a big brown lump).

Your children can help Dad mow the lawn and create bursts of bubbles while they do it. The Hamleys Bubble Mower is a really cute gift for the little ones this Christmas and is marked down from £20.00 to £15.00 at Hamleys.

• Click here for hours of bubble fun with Hamleys*

I think this is just adorable and when they see how it works the little ones will love it too. The brightly coloured Hamleys Bubble Mower is the most exciting and magical mower ever. Your little ones will be amazed as they watch the Bubble Mower create hundreds of bubbles in just minutes; all they need to do is push the mower along like the grown-ups do.

The cute Bubble Mower will keep kids occupied and feeling very helpful indeed as they help Dad mow the lawn.  This is definitely a Christmas gift that will have them giggling a squealing with delight when they see how it works. You won’t be able to pack this one away until well after Christmas.

Christmas is almost upon us and some of you are probably still desperately searching for Christmas gifts for the kids. This deal is pretty cool; the Mega Bloks World of Warcraft Demolisher Attack Playset from Argos is on sale for half the original price. It was £49.99 but is now £24.99 but hurry; Christmas is only two days away.

• Click here for this great playset from Argos*

With the Mega Bloks World of Warcraft Demolisher Attack playset your kids can build the Horde Demolisher siege engine and Alliance fort tower. All sounds a bit much for me but I know the boys are going to love it. I hope it arrives in time for those of you still looking for Christmas gifts!

Not will your kids have loads of fun while taking hours to build the war crafts and towers but they can then play with them for hours too.  The set features super cool catapult launchers and there is an impressive amount of detail in the siege engines and towers built.

Serious fun!

If you know someone with a sense of adventure that would want to do something truly thrilling and unique, this white water rafting experience will be right up their street. It’ll be a Christmas present they’ll never forget!

The Spears Stack-em Action Game is loads of fun for the whole family. We have a different version of this game and it goes on every holiday and gets played for hours! Tesco are selling the Spears Stack-em game for £3.97. The game was originally £7.00 so you’re saving £3.03, lovely.

• Click here to start building with Tesco Direct*

This game is awesome! As I’ve said it comes on just about every holiday with us and is great for those game days when the weather is too miserable to go outside. It helps a lot with hand-eye coordination too. It’s really simple, all you do is start with the stack already built and each player in turn pulls a wooden block from one of the lower layers and stacks it on top, the idea obviously is not to let the stack fall and trust me it’s harder than it looks!

Alternatively you can play by taking it in turns to build the stack from the bottom up, making a huge tower with the wooden blocks.

It’s great to get all family members of all ages involved and whichever way you choose to build and play with the blocks is up to you. It’s a must have for all families!

Scoot from side to side, turn and jump with the Razor Powerwing from Argos. This really neat scooter slash skateboard thing was £119.99 but is now half price at £59.99. Great Christmas gift!

• Click here for the Razor Powerwing from Argos*

I have to be honest with you, I’ve never even heard of these things but seeing them for sale at half price and watching the video clip on the Argos website I was sold. It’s so cool and really innovative, you don’t even have to get off and push like you would a normal scooter or skateboard. As you move the back piece that you stand on from side to side it propels the Powerwing forward, awesome.

If your kids are ahead of me and are already asking for one of these for Christmas at least you now know where to get one at half price (and I’ve learnt something new). They’ll be the envy of their friends on this fantastic Razor Powerwing scooter. Just move your body from side to side and the three wheeled design gets you going and keeps you moving. Love it!

Marked down from £14.99 to £9.99, this super saving of £5.00 is just in time for Christmas. Make sure your kids, especially little girls have a rocking Christmas with the Hello Kitty Electric Guitar from Toys R Us, it’s awesome.

• Click here to rock on with this great Christmas gift from Toys R Us*

Your kids can play like a rock star and pump up the tunes with this great Hello Kitty Electric Guitar. They are going to have an absolute blast with this one. Christmas Day might become a bit noisy but it’ll be worth it for the hours of fun they’ll have with it. Perfect for any Hello Kitty fans but especially those wanting to learn a musical instrument or those with a musical ear. They can even add their own special sound effects for a live show.

The Hello Kitty Electric Guitar comes complete with 4 melodies, 5 sound effects and a whammy bar. It’s a great way to start developing musical skills while having a great time too.

Save £7.50 on the adorable Hello Kitty Sling Bookcase that was £30.00 at Sainsburys. This really cute bookcase will help keep your little girl’s room tidy and give her a great place to store books. Sainsburys is now selling the Hello Kitty Bookcase for just £22.50, nice deal and will help save the pennies a bit this Christmas.

This Hello Kitty Sling Bookcase will keep all groovy girls' rooms tidy. With its strong MDF frame and four fabric slings, it neatly stores books of all different shapes and sizes.

Try Argos for an amazing and super cool gift for boys and girls (and probably the rest of the family too) this Christmas. The Air Hogs Controlled Sharp Shooter Helicopter is marked down by 50% from £39.99 to £19.99 at Argos.

• Fly away with the best Christmas gift this year from Argos*

Take aim with this amazing radio controlled helicopter and shoot down the enemy with missiles. Fly around the room for hours just watch out for the lights! This is a great indoor toy which encourages imaginative play and provides hours of entertainment for everyone. I really think this gift will be a huge hit, if the kids can get it off Dad long enough to have a go.

The helicopter uses Steady Fly technology for super stable flight, super cool and it comes with a battery controller/charger, six missiles and three targets. The recommended age is children over the age of 10 but it’s safe for children over the age of three, I definitely know a few eight and nine year olds that would love it!

I absolutely love being inventive over Christmas. This year I’m not going to be having Christmas lunch at my place and I’m gutted because it means that I can’t take advantage of a lot of these stunning ideas. Some are mine, some are discovered on the internet, all are brilliant at building the festive spirit.

Peppa Pig loves jumping in muddy puddles just like your children probably do. Your children will have lots of fun with this jumping and bouncing Peppa without having to actually get muddy.
