This is a pretty cute little set of racing minis that you can plonk on your desk for super racing fun. Down to only £4.99 for a brand new box of lovely racing cars, this is a fab deal that would fit nicely into any present cupboard for emergencies.

The racing desktop mini set comes with two cars, both are minis (obviously) and one is red while the other is blue. These tiny little charmers race around a track that’s made from 16 interlocking track pieces, also included in the set.

You also get two bridge railings and four bridge supports so you can create a track that offers uphill and downhill racing. There are 12 roadside fences and two starting markets and, of course, the two controllers for the little mini racers themselves. You will need to buy four D batteries to run the track though.

These are ace. I found this deal last year and remember thinking that it was soooo pants I had already sorted all my Christmas presents out. These are such cool gifts and not just for kids either. I mean, I grew up with Star Wars so these would make me very happy.

Can you imagine waking up to a plush little Yoda talking to you about the Force? Yeah. Or a little Darth yabbering on about your coming to the dark side while you make coffee? Oh yes. This is all too good for words.

Anyway, they each cost £9.97 and you can collect pretty much all of them in one spend under £20 really, well, three of them…

Amazon sort of faded away in January I noticed, with not so many great deals hanging about. Well, they seem to have kicked February off with a bang. Here is yet another great deal for kids with the FyrFlyz assortment down from £7.99 to only £2. Nice.

• Click here to get flying with Amazon

The FyrFlyz are a revolutionary new spinning toy that puts the power to create amazing light shows into every child’s hands. The FyrFlyz are precision balanced instruments that are designed to spin on their axes and they can create continuous movement in figures of eight, Saturn Rings, Shooting Stars and more.

They can do this by swinging the connection strings and either applying tension or allowing slack. The real fun begins when the lights go out and the FyrFlyz multi-colour LED lights turn the movement into amazing light shows that kids will love. Kids can learn tricks as they go and as they improve they will come up with more and more variations. I love these!

The Drummond Park Stephen Mulhern magic kig is down from £14.99 to only £6 on Amazon. This, of course, comes with free delivery and a very tasty saving of £8.99 off the original price. This would make an ace addition to any Present Cupboard.

• Click here to get magical with Amazon

This magic set is a great way for budding magicians to learn from ITV’s Stephen Mulhern. Kids over the age of eight will have no problem reading the instructions and learning these astonishing card, coin and ball tricks.

Make cards disappear up your sleeve, astound with the self opening matchboxes, reveal sweets in a closed box and uncover the mystery of the folding note. There are enough gigs and tricks in here to make little magic monsters have hours of fun and the price is pretty near perfect too.

Even adults will have fun trying out some of these tricks I reckon and I am so nabbing this for when my daughter is the right age.

Oooh, this is a superb deal. The Vtech Kidizoom digital camera with the Cars 2 design and featuring Lightning McQueen is down from the hefty £59.99 to only £15 on Amazon. That’s a whopping saving of £44.99 and you get free delivery too.

There is a flash, a colour LCD screen, a zoom feature and you even have games included. The memory can be extended with a SD card and you get a carry strap and PC connectivity cables too.

The price for this Vtech Kidizoom kids digital camera is fantastic and it would make a great gift.

Littlewoods has marked the Cerise 3-Wheel jogger kids toy down from £36 to only £10 – that’s a saving of £26 (well over half the original price) and it comes with free delivery. And yes, it is a kid’s toy so no real babies in here please!

• Click here to get some prams with Littlewoods

I am honestly taken aback at the idea of the Cerise 3-Wheel jogger costing £36 originally. Wow. That is a lot of money for a pretend pram. For only £30 more you could probably buy a real one! Anyway, £10 is far more reasonable for this bright pink three wheel jogger for little baby toys.

This doll’s pushchair has a canopy and a comfortable EVA handle grip – that description made me laugh. An EVA grip? For a child’s toy? It seems a little excessive. Anyway, there is even an under seat storage net and the handle sits at 59cm high making it ideal for kids over the age of three.

The Chad Valley round sandpit frame is down from £34.99 to only £13.99 which is a brilliant new price and I wish, wish, wish we had a garden so I could nab this for my offspring. The discount is well below half price for an ace sandpit.

• Click here to get sandy with Argos

The Chad Valley round sandpit frame has compartments for water or toys scattered around a central sand holding area. There are six identical sections that form the round frame and the entire kit comes with a ground and cover sheet as well.

You also get approximately 30kgs of sand to fill the pit, which is really good value for money here, and the entire sandpit is 141x18cm in size. It is brilliant for little ones to play in on hot summer days and to create all sorts of mess as they wriggle around in the sand.

This is an excellent deal for a really unusual sandpit that I rather like!

The Zhu Zhu babies dance recital set is down from the originally hideous £22.97 to a much tastier £7, a saving of £15.97 off the original price. Nice. Tesco is having a very enjoyable sale at the moment and I am loving the discounts as I have a ton of birthday parties coming up!

• Click here to get Zhu Zhu babies at Tesco Direct

The Zhu Zhu pets range confuses me. At first I loved them and wanted one – I probably wanted it more than my daughter did. Then I nabbed a few in a sale, paying something silly like £1 each, and now they sit, in their dusty habitat, covered in a layer of the same dust.

The batteries died at around the same time as interest in them did. They don’t DO anything and all the habitats are stupidly expensive. Now you have the Zhu Zhu babies range and this toy will apparently let your Zhu Zhu pets twirl the night away in front of an audience. If you have the babies and the hamsters, the price is right, otherwise run screaming.

The Monster High dolls and sets are as hard to find as hen’s teeth at the moment so not only is the fact that this is a low price really good, but the fact that they have any of these items in stock! This particular kit is ace – you get to create your very own monster for £13.49 instead of £17.99.

Dr. Frankenstein isn’t the only person who can create monsters. Now you can too. The Monster High Create A Monster set provides your offspring with all the body parts (hahahah) and fashions needed to create unique, scary and cool creatures.

Each Monster High Create a Monster kit comes with a torso, two sets of limbs, two heads, one hairpiece, two fashions and a unique add on such as wings. I love the fact that I am writing about a set that includes limbs and a torso, it’s surreal!

The pieces can be assembled in more than 250 ways so kids can make as many weird combinations as they like.

The Argos sale is definitely cooking this year with items being reduced well below their usual retail prices. This is another brilliant deal with the Mega Bloks Squad Fire Patrol Station down from £59.99 to only £19.99 which is a lot less than half price!

The Mega Bloks kit also has five figures and all the usual building accessories that comes to a total of 750 pieces all together. The set is ideal for kids over the age of six and is a whopper, especially for this very tasty low price.

Argos has reduced the fancy and extremely cool Spykee Vox Interactive Robot to £32.99. It used to cost £99.99 so you are paying a lot less than half price for a very cool toy that kids will absolutely love. And parents too…

The Universal IR remote allows Spykee to control your electronic devices when asked and you can either use his pre-programmed features or create your own. You can add movements, emoticons, give him a name and insert new sounds.

He has an alarm clock function and he needs six AA batteries and three AAA batteries none of which are included. Ideal for kids over the age of eight, he is a monster robot gizmo.

Lynley’s feature on how to create utterly awesome Valentine’s Day cards got me thinking. I am not a fan of the day either but I do like the idea of using it to do something creative and fun without spending money on cheesy cards or sparkly rubbish. So I decided to find some brilliantly unusual ideas that could make great Valentines gifts as well as translate into other presents for birthdays or Easter or Mother’s Day.

Ok, this is quite the longest name for a toy ever. The Character Building Royal Navy Assault Rib Mini Construction Playset. Phew. Anyway that toy is now down to £4.63 from £9.99 which is a saving of £5.36 in total plus you get free delivery.

• Click here to get the navy at Amazon

So, what is this Character Building Royal Navy Assault thingy? Well, apparently your kids can become experts on amphibious warfare with this Royal Navy construction playset that features an assault rib and loading dock. Landing crafts are capable of carrying up to eight Royal Marines Commandos with full kit at full speed.

Your mission is to get your commandos to their destination so they can disembark and secure the area. The set comes with one microfigure wearing a patrol vest and assault rifle and it is suitable for kids over the age of five. Is it just me who thinks this looks a lot like Lego?

The Crayola Supertips Sketch and Colour set has been marked down from £13,98 to £6.99 at Argos which is half the original price. The set is packed with all sorts of stuff that will make creative time fun and colourful.

Unleash your child’s creativity with the Crayola Supertips Sketch and Colour set that has a bright rainbow arraw of colour Supertips for creating beautiful pictures. Kids can sketch on the go as the entire set comes in a handy travel case that’s perfect for alleviating boredom on long journeys.

Included in the Crayola kit are 32 Supertips markers and a 40 page sketchbook and the latter looks like it is a decent size too. These colouring pens are actually really good as I’ve used them before and if the lids disappear (as they always do) they tend to carry on going for quite a while. They don’t dry out too easily.

The Xia Xia Confetti Cottage by Character Options is reduced from £9.99 to £2.99 at Amazon and it comes with free Super Saver Delivery. This is a tasty discount of £7 off the original price but it comes with none of the (expensive) little crabs.

• Click here to get some confetti with Amazon

The Character Options Xia Xia Confetti Cottage (p.s. the Xia Xia is pronounces Sha-Sha) is designed specifically for the little crab creates that you can buy separately for around £7 on Amazon. I am sure you can probably get the cheaper elsewhere though.

The cottage doubles as a carrying case so kids can take their Xia Xia with them wherever they go. The set also joins up to other playsets in the same range so you can end up creating a crazy crab city. The crabs even have shells sold separately apparently.

I am not sure if this is a bath set or not. I mean, surely crabs need water, right? Anyway, if you have the Xia Xia crabs then this bargain should suit you just fine.

The Baby Born Mummy pick me up doll has been reduced several times over the course of the sale. Originally it was selling for £40, then it dropped to £20 and now it is only £15. That’s a pretty good saving off the original price.

• Click here to get a baby with Tesco

The Baby Born Mummy pick me up doll by Zapf Creation comes dressed in a cute pink shortie suit and has lovely golden hair that’s tied off to one side with a pretty pink clip. She asks to be cuddled and when you raise her arms she giggles.

The Baby Born Mummy pick me up doll also gives kisses and says, “Mama” along with other cute little baby babbling phrases. The batteries needed to power her along are included and she is ideal for kids over the age of three.

There are no other accessories included with the Baby Born so she seems quite expensive for the original £40, but for £15 she will make a great addition to the present cupboard. Personally I find her a bit creepy.

Argos has marked this adorable My First Lego set down from £9.99 to £6.99 which is a saving of 25% off the original price. This is a perfect introduction to the wonderful world of Lego building fun and is ideal for tots over the age of four.

These sets are really good for helping children to develop creativity and explore their imaginations, and to teach them how to entertain themselves for a while. Lego is such a family staple nowadays that I am not sure how people survived without it!

Spend some time with your tots, building and creating whole worlds, or let them loose to make their own superb creations.

Oooh, now this is a low price deal that any Toy Story fan will love. The Toy Story Buzz Lightyear talking projection alarm clock is down from £29.99 to only £9.99 at Amazon, that’s a saving of 67% and £20 off the original price!

The alarm clock also amazingly projects the time against the bedroom ceiling and says some stock Buzz Lightyear phrases too. He’ll say things like To Infinity and Beyond or This is an intergalactic emergency!

A brilliant price for a great doodad and perfect for adding to the present cupboard – I’ve already nabbed two of them for mine.

The Hornby R1151 Caledonian Belle 00 Gauge electric train set is down from £59.99 to only £29.99 at Play.com and that includes free delivery. Very nice indeed. These train sets are brilliant for kids and adults, especially if you’ve got the space.

The Hornby Caledonian Belle electric train set includes a MidiMat on which the track can be placed and an oval of track with siding which can be extended if you buy TrackPads separately.

The train set takes you back to the halcyon days of British railways when they were at their best and when numerous small branch lines criss-crossed the British countryside and linked small towns to the outside world. This Caledonian Belle emulates those small local trains with the smart 0-4-0 locomotive which makes easy work of hauling the four wheel coach and wagon around the track.

This looks like a lovely present for someone small and special and one that you can definitely enjoy together…

Thanks to Syzable at HUKD!

Ohhh, I love this deal. Then again, I love train sets and think this is a really tasty bargain for only £8.84. That’s under £10 (especially if you click and collect instore) for a 60 piece wooden train set – not bad at all.
