Chuggington Die Cast Wilson Carry Case £6.99 @ Home Bargains

The Chuggington die cast Wilson carry case has been reduced from £29.99 to £6.99 at Home Bargains. This is a whopping saving of £23 which is rather tasty! The set comes with a bunch of extras and will really be a great present.

This fantastic Wilson carry case holds up to 17 Chuggington die cast trains and comes with Wilson, Koko and Brewster as part of the set. So there you have it, your collection is already started and you have somewhere really cute and safe to store them.

The Chuggington Wilson die cast carry case is the perfect place to keep the trains and will definitely (or hopefully) help keep those bedrooms tidy. And stop parents from standing on small trains in the middle of the night. The set is ideal for kids over the age of three and looks sturdy enough to withstand plenty of abuse.

Little Tikes Baby Born Cooking Kitchen £29.99 @ Home Bargains

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 17 April, 2012 at 6:00 pm

Little Tikes Baby Born Cooking Kitchen £29.99 @ Home Bargains

The retail price on this Little Tikes kitchen is £79.99 so this saving is excellent – a mere £29.99 at Home Bargains. You can get it delivered but that will cost you, however, you can collect it instore if you have one of these stores lurking nearby your postcode.

This amazing two-sided kitchen features electronic cooking sounds and lots of fun ways for kids to play make believe. You place a pot or a pan on the stove to hear boiling or frying sounds, popcorn popping or ticking and bell sounds.

There are eight accessories, an attachable baby seat (doll not included), a table area, a microwave cooking centre, a sink, a fridge and lots of storage. Good grief. This sounds like the description of my dream kitchen. Except perhaps the baby storage area – not sure about that!

Anyway, the entire Little Tikes kitchen will need batteries that are not provided and some assembly too I’ll bet.

Talking Driver Dan Plush Toy £2.99 @ Home Bargains

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 22 December, 2011 at 6:00 pm

Talking Driver Dan Plush Toy £2.99 @ Home BargainsIf your child is a fan of the CBeebies TV show for preschoolers, Driver Dan's Story Train, then they're going to love this cute Talking Driver Dan plush toy. Home Bargains has it on sale for £2.99, down from its RRP of £17.99. Delivery in mainland UK is another £2.99.

Storytelling is at the heart of Driver Dan's Story Train, encouraging children to pick up a book, explore the pictures, listen to it, share it, and read it over and over.

This soft plush Talking Driver Dan toy  is made from bright textured fabrics, and when you press his tummy he says seven fun phrases from the show.

The toy measures approximately 30cm high, and is suitable for children aged ten months and older.

I'm guessing this show is a more recent addition to CBeebies pre-school scheduling. My son is six now, so we don't really watch CBeebies as much as we used to. And now it is mainly for Octonauts, or the art show that's on there.

I had a look at the website for Driver Dan's Story Train, and was quite impressed. It is well worth a visit, there are lots of games and activities and I thought the graphics were really well done. Not anywhere near as painful for grownups as other similar sites!

Zhu Zhu Pets Ice Cream Parlour £3.99 @ Home Bargains

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 7 December, 2011 at 6:00 pm

Zhu Zhu Pets Ice Cream Parlour £3.99 @ Home Bargains

Ok, so, I have moaned about the cost of any Zhu Zhu accessories for ages, especially since I bought one and found it to be utterly awful plastic tat that was badly made and easily broken. I have ignored the Zhu Zhu habitats since then. However, this bargain from Home Bargains (he he) is really, really good and makes getting the habitat worth the risk.

The Zhu Zhu pets ice cream parllud is down from £19.99 to only £3.99 – that is a whopping saving of £16 off the original price. I am very impressed with this and have, obviously, snapped the deal up. What you get is an ice cream parlour for your Zhu Zhu hamster, ice cream accessories and the ability to link up with other Zhu Zhu accessories.

If you already have the ice cream parlour, Home Bargains also has the Zhu Zhu Babies tree swing and power pod on sale. This is down from £15.99 to £3.99, not as mahoosive a saving, and I think that an adult hamster powers it or something. There are also several Zhu Zhu hamsters on sale for £2.99 as well.

Lego City Superpack £49.99 @ Home Bargains

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 16 November, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Lego City Superpack £49.99 @ Home Bargains

This Lego City superpack usually costs £99 so this Home Bargains deal is pretty sweet, especially if you happen to be in possession of a young Lego lover. You are saving £49.01 off this ace three in one set of Lego.

The Lego City superpack has three sets in one and all of them belong to the Farm theme. So you get the tractor, the four wheel drive with a horse trailer and a pig farm and tractor. The three sets combined together deliver over 500 Lego pieces!

There isn’t much info on the site about the three different Lego packs other than the fact that you get a pig farm, a tractor and a horse trailer with a four wheel drive doodad. The Lego pieces are prolific at 500 so you probably won’t need to buy another set for quite some time.

While forking out nearly £50 at once does hurt, this would make an excellent main Christmas gift for any kid who just loves the idea of Lego.

Moon Sand Construction Sets £5.99 @ Home Bargains

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 2 November, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Moon Sand Construction Sets £5.99 @ Home Bargains

Home Bargains are selling Moon Sand construction kits for £5.99 which is a saving of £4 off the original price. These would make ace Christmas gifts or stocking fillers for kids as they offer plenty of fun and plenty of mess.

The Moon Sand construction kits included in the sale are Digger and Road Crew. There isn’t a lot of choice online, although there may be more instore. If you happen to be near a Home Bargains it may be worth checking out.

The Moon Sand digger set comes with a Moon Sand construction digger, a rock and pylon mould, a construction worker, a playmat and coloured Moon Sand. The Moon Sand road crew set comes with a brick and sidewalk mould, a jackhammer, a steamroller, a construction worker, a play mat and the coloured Moon Sand.

You can almost nab both these sets for the price you would have paid for one and get a full complement of Moon Sand construction fun.

Tomy AquaDraw £9.99 @ Home Bargains

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 16 October, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Tomy AquaDraw £9.99 @ Home Bargains

The Tomy Aqua Doodle Rainbow Mat and Tomy Aquadraw are both on sale at Home Bargains, both instore and online. Instead of their usual retail price, £19.99 upwards, they have been reduced to £9.99, which is half the original price.

The Aqua Doodle Rainbow Mat gives your kids hours of fun. It has all the fun of these kits – the whole drawing awesome designs without needing paint and water – but this time in gorgeous technicolour.

Kids can create pictures using the Aquadoodle pen or they can make larger paint brush effects with the special paintbrush pen. There are also special stampers included in the kit to add to the designs with fun stamps. Another inclusion was the 2 for 1 spray pen that lets you create brilliant stencils.

These kits are suitable for children over the age of three and do offer kids hours of fun. The only downside to these sets I think is that you have no tangible reminder of their cool designs. Once the water dries, the pictures disappear.

Toy Story 3 Sunnyside Breakout Stunt Set £6.99 @ Home Bargains

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 12 October, 2011 at 4:00 pm

Toy Story 3 Sunnyside Breakout Stunt Set £6.99 @ Home Bargains

This is a great deal! The Toy Story 3 Sunnyside Breakout Stunt Set has been reduced from £26.99 to £6.99, a whopping saving of £20, at Home Bargains online. This is an excellent price for a toy that would make someone a lovely Christmas gift.

The Toy Story 3 Sunnyside Breakout kit includes three stunts and the Woody and Big Baby figures. Kids can escape from the toy basket, ride the zipline, and slide down the slide with each stunt triggering the next one.

If you connect the action links then it will activate a chain reaction and the stunts can work in any order you like. The set is easy to connect and assemble and is ideal for kids over the age of five.

Inspired by the movie and clearly brilliant for encouraging thinking in 3D and problem solving, the set will keep those little hands busy on the cold winter nights. Brill.

Toy Story 3 Spin Kicking Buzz Lightyear £4.99 @ Home Bargains

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 21 August, 2011 at 7:00 pm

Toy Story 3 Spin Kicking Buzz Lightyear £4.99 @ Home BargainsToy Story 3 Spin Kicking Buzz Lightyear £4.99 @ Home BargainsToy Story 3 Spin Kicking Buzz Lightyear £4.99 @ Home Bargains

If you have seen Toy Story 3 then you'll know that Buzz gets to pull some pretty cool moves in this particular movie. I can't remember him being so good at martial arts in the first two movies, and I have seen those two a LOT. My son doesn't rewatch Toy Story 3 as much but he does repeatedly beg me to not throw his toys away now, sigh. But I digress. This particular toy is the Toy Story 3 Spin Kicking Buzz Lightyear, priced at £4.99 by Home Bargains. The RRP is £12.99.

This particular Buzz is described as one of the deluxe action figures. You push a button on his back to active the spin kicking motion. The toy has an approximate height of 15cm and is recommended for ages 4 and upwards.

That's a fairly good size, perhaps a little big to put aside for a stocking filler. Having said that, I'm not entirely tempted to buy it myself. We already have about five versions of Buzz Lightyear, two of which are this big. I'm not entirely keen to add to the collection. We'll run out of space soon! But at this price it would make a great addition to the present drawer.

Toy Story Buzz Lightyear Sleeping Bag £8.99 @ Home Bargains

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 14 August, 2011 at 8:00 am

Toy Story Buzz Lightyear Sleeping Bag £8.99 @ Home BargainsWhat little Toy Story fan wouldn't love to sleep in this bag? I really like the way it looks almost like you're Buzz Lightyear lying in it. It's so cute, I almost want one for me. It was originally £21 (the RRP is £29.99), and is now £8.99.

I don't think that this would be suitable for camping, but it would be great fun for indoor sleepovers. Also, it can be quite fun (especially if it is raining) to have an inside 'camping' adventure. Put up a child's tent in the lounge and let them sleep in it.

If you don't have one, I've found that making a fort using blankets works just as well too. My son's siblings are so much older he's pretty much an only child. But this can be a great fun activity to do together, when my other half is away for the day. Getting out the airbeds, setting up the 'tent', eating our dinner out of mess tins.

The advantages are that there's no mozzies, you don't have to worry about the rain, or the cold, and once your little one is snoring away you can relax with a cuppa and watch TV.

The Toy Story Buzz Lightyear sleeping bag is made from polyester and is (you'll be pleased to know) machine washable.  It measures approximately 170 x 170cm.

Zingzillas Night Light, Torch & Projector £6.99 @ Home Bargains

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 9 August, 2011 at 6:00 pm

Zingzillas Night Light, Torch & Projector £6.99 @ Home Bargains

Wooo, Home Bargains appear to be my heroes today. Not only did they find me an ace Toy Story 3 Aquadraw, but now this gorgeous deal. I have to admit that I am impressed with this one. You get a Zingzillas night light, torch and projector for £6.99 instead of the usual £21.99 that it retails for.

The 3-in-1 Zingzillas rechargeable night light, torch and projector is ideal for children’s bedrooms and can be personalised with a range of included stickers. These stickers give kids some fun as they make the toys their own, before the other cool stuff even kicks in.

You lift the cone from the base and you get a torch that kids can use to explore their rooms at night, giggle under the covers with their friends, and have general cool torchy fun. Then there are three projector slides you can slot into the cone to watch on the wall.

The cone charges when it is placed into the base and the LED light indicates when the unit is charging. Seems a great deal for Zingzilla fans.

Do you like the Zingzillas? I have to admit that I can’t stand them!

Tomy Toy Story 3 Aquadoodle £13.99 @ Home Bargains

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 9 August, 2011 at 4:00 pm

Tomy Toy Story 3 Aquadoodle £13.99 @ Home Bargains

The Tomy Toy Story 3 Aquadoodle usually retails for around £29.99, so this bargain price of £13.99 is a discount of over half the original price. How lovely! Have you ever played with one of these toys before? I have to admit that I love them – the entire idea is genius.

The Tomy Toy Story 3 Aquadoodle offers kids hours of creative fun and entertainment with no mess and no fuss and no drama. Yes, instead of spending hours cleaning up stains and mess after your kids have finished painting or colouring, you can just roll this dude up and go. Genius.

Aquadoodle is simple. You fill the various items, like the Woody and Buzz toys included here, with water and then use them to stamp, draw and create images and patterns on the mat. The water dries, the pictures fade, and then the kids can start drawing all over again.

This set includes the mat, a Woody pen and a Buzz stamp. Not a great offering compared to the awesome Thomas the Tank engine one that has the train actually running ON the water created tracks, but a steal at this low price.

Various King Zhu Hamster Sets £3.99 @ Home Bargains

Various King Zhu Hamster Sets £3.99 @ Home Bargains

If you happen to have a Zhu Zhu hamster or two roaming around your home, then this deal should make you feel quite happy about the fact. Let’s face it, once they’ve crashed under the sofa for the 100th time, they lose some of their appeal, so these bargain prices on habitats is a winner.

To start with all of the deals seem to involve the King Zhu series. These are, apparently, the “battle” hamsters that boys will like. Not sure why only boys will dig them, my daughter has fun with the battle dudes too, but that’s what the blurb says.

There is the King Zhu training grounds for Alpha, Ninja, Samurai, and Bravo plus the Juggernaut Battle Walker down to £7.99 if you fancy kitting your hamster out in tank armour. These little habitats all interconnect and you’re saving some good money getting them in the sale.
