Ben 10 3-Piece Luggage Set £6.99 @ Argos eBay OutletThe Argos eBay Outlet are selling this 3-Piece  Ben 10 Alien Force Luggage Set for less than half-price; £6.99 instead of £19.99.

Of all the Ben 10 things my youngest has, he doesn’t have this Ben 10 Alien Force 3-piece luggage set.

He could do with it to be honest as he quite often goes away with his dad and he’s yet to perfect the male art of travelling light, every toy and book he possess MUST go with them.

This Ben 10 Alien Force 3-piece luggage set comprises a trolley bag, draw string bag and wallet.  The trolley bag has two base wheels and retractable handle.

The drawstring bag has two velcro straps and a shoulder strap; the wallet has velcro fastening too and four pockets on the inside.

All of these items are made from woven nylon, which is ideal as it makes them tough and durable and wipe clean.

Things at the Argos eBay Outlet tend to sell out quite fast, so if you want one of these Ben 10 Luggage sets I'd grab one pronto.

Standard delivery is £1.99.

Ben 10 3 Piece Blue Set £6.99 @ Argos

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 27 May, 2011 at 6:00 pm

Ben 10 3 Piece Blue Set £6.99 @ ArgosPerfect for this time of the year, if you're planning on going away for any of the holidays. It is half term next week, and before you know it, summer holidays will have started. This Ben 10 3 Piece blue set is in the Argos eBay outlet for £6.99. Delivery costs £1.99.

This will keep any Ben 10 fan happy while they're away on holidays, or even just popping off for the weekend. You get a matching trolley bag, drawstring bag, and wallet.

I'm not sure my six year old would be particularly interested in a wallet yet, but I think he'd like the other items. I know I'd like the drawstring bag, as these are particularly handy when you don't know what you'll need to carry around. Like a sand encrusted bucket and spade, or soggy swimming costume.

The trolley bag has a retractable handle. The drawstring bag has two velcro straps, and a shoulder strap. The images show scenes from the original Ben 10 series, in which he is the ten year old, slightly obnoxious, child. Along with Ben slouching in his standard outfit of khaki trousers and white shirt with black stripe are some of the aliens he turns into, like FourArms.

Trunki Ride On Suitcase £23 @ Debenhams Extra

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 11 May, 2011 at 12:00 pm

Trunki Ride On Suitcase £23 @ Debenhams ExtraOooh we haven't had a Trunki ride on suitcase deal for A G E S; Debenhams are selling Terrance Trunkis for just £23, instead of £29.99.

The nearest price rival for this Terrance Trunki ride on suitcase is Amazon who are selling him for £25, then Argos and the rest of the gang for the full retail sheebang of £30.

We love all the Trunki ride on suitcases here at PlayPennies, they are ingenious little things and make travelling with kids just that little bit more fun.

It's fun for us parents as kids who have Trunkis are more inclined to handle their own luggage, meaning one less bag to haul across the airport terminal or train station platform; it's fun for the kids because they get funky luggage all of their own and can ride on and be towed along in style when their legs get a bit tired.

The Terrance Trunki ride on suitcase is blue, he has a light weight and durable design (very important when you're going to be on the receiving end of children) and is hand luggage approved based on the current size restrictions.

He has lots of space inside for toys, games, books and spare clothes and your kids are going to love him; he's also rather useful for overnight stays with the grandparents too.

Delivery, with the SuperSaver option is free, there are faster delivery choices if you need a Trunki ride on suitcase in a hurry but you will pay for it - full delivery options are HERE.

Trunki BoostApak £29.95 @ Amazon

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 11 May, 2011 at 9:00 am

Trunki BoostApak £29.95 @ AmazonAmazon are currently selling this Trunki BoostApak travel booster seat for £29.95; it's normal retail price is £39.99.

A quick look-see around Internet land would suggest that John Lewis has these Trunki BoostApak travel booster seats on sale for the same price BUT you will pay for delivery, unless you can go and collect it from the store; the remaining usual suspects are all selling them for the full retail price.

A Trunki BoostApak travel booster seat before is an interesting combination of a booster seat and a backpack and rather ingenious, I think.

The law requires all children under 12 years old, or 135cm in height, to use a booster seat - my oldest two were mortified when this law came in and were most relieved when they were over the height limit!

We all know this particular law makes good car safety sense - not like the 'cram as many kids as you can in the back of the car' ways of my childhood - but it does mean you can be caught short without a booster seat if the unexpected happens; a  Trunki BoostApak is a nice solution.

Suitable for children aged between 4 and 12 years old, it's a hand-luggage approved rucksack which doubles as a booster seat and is very handy for car-sharing and and taking on family holidays.

If you're going to be out an about travelling by train or bus it will allow your child to be high enough to look out of the windows and if you need to grab a cab then you'll still be able to comply with car safety law.

The Trunki BoostApak has fold-out seat belt guides, hi-visibility horns and reflective trim and the cover is removable cover for cleaning.

Girls' 4-Piece Luggage Set £7.99 @ Argos

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 6 February, 2011 at 9:00 am

Girls' 4-Piece Luggage Set £7.99 @ ArgosIf you're a little girl you can never have too much luggage and there’s no getting away from it, it can be expensive. But take heart this pretty four-piece luggage set is on sale at Argos for £7.99 instead of its original £17.99.

Even when I was small I was never a big fan of anything flowery, I was a plain black suitcase kind of gal you see. But having grown up and spent far too much of my life waiting for A G E S for my case at the Heathrow Terminal 5 baggage carousel, I'm beginning to think flowers might be the way to go. You see, my black cases look the same as EVERYONE elses black case trundling round and round and round.

You know when they’ve all done one loop because someone’s bright, colourful and pretty FLOWERY bag has just gone round again; everytime you see that stand-out-from-the-crowd bag and yours still hasn’t put in an appearance, you start to wonder if you’ve just missed it amongst all the other black cases or whether it’s sunning itself on the beach somewhere having got on a different flight!

So whether you travel a lot with your family, or your daughter just does sleepovers, this cute little Girls' 4-Piece Luggage Set has everything she'll need for all packing eventualities.

It has a wheeled bag, a backpack, a gym bag (ideal for trips to the swimming pool) and a purse; the purse is VERY important you know.

It's available for home delivery - which will set you back £5.95 (seriously Argos, hurry up and take a leaf out of Amazon's SuperSaver delivery book) - or you can collect in-store for free.

Le Coq Sportif 5 Piece Luggage Set £8.95 @ Argos

by Luschka van Onselen in Deals on 5 February, 2011 at 4:00 pm


Le Coq Sportif 5 Piece Luggage Set £8.95 @ Argos

The black and pink Le Coq Sportif 5 piece luggage set is half price at Argos right now at £8.95.

The Le Coq Sportif set consists of a backpack, gym sack, holdall, satchel and wallet, and are all black and pink with the Le Coq logo on.

The backpack has a 14.5 litre capacity, and weighs just over 300g. It has three external pockets, an adjustable carry strap and twin carry handles.

The gym sack has nylon pull cords and only a 1.46l capacity, making it rather small, but probably okay for a change of clothes.

The holdall, on the other hand, has a 54l capacity and according to the reviewers makes a good suitcase or holiday bag. It has one internal pocket and an adjustable shoulder strap and carry handles. Empty it weighs around 600g, meaning it won't impact too much on your luggage allowance.

The final bag, the satchel has one main compartment and two internal pockets. It holds just a little less than the gym sack and is probably more suitable for lunch than anything else!

And of course, the wallet, has one main compartment and two internal pockets and is pretty much wallet sized!

These are available for store pick up or home delivery and those who've bought it seem to think it's good value for money, especially at the reduced rate.

Bernard Bee Trunki £19.49 @ Amazon

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 4 January, 2011 at 11:00 am

Bernard Bee Trunki £19.49 @ AmazonIf you don’t fancy a Gruffalo Trunki then, as far as I’m concerned, the Bernard Bee Trunki is the way to go – I think he’s a very funky Trunki indeed!

At some point I’m going to run out of things to say about Trunki Ride-On Suitcases and my posts will just consist of these few words, “OI! Trunkis back on spesh’ offer at Amazon – go and get one if you missed it last time!” What do you mean that would be an improvement on my usual posts?!

I wonder if the designers of the Trunki realised that it was going to take the kiddy luggage market by storm, and have normal, sane and rational grown ups drooling over them at airports like I do when I see one.

Although, when I flew out of Heathrow Airport a few weeks ago (I was one of the lucky ones who managed to dodge the snow) I didn’t spot ONE Trunki!

Not a Gruffalo Trunki, nor a Bernard Bee Trunki, not even a Trixie Trunki!

The world’s children clearly need MORE Trunkis.

JUST in case you haven’t come across the Trunki before (and welcome back to Earth, how was your very long trip to Mars?)  it’s a kiddy suitcase with horns they can ride on when they get tired, or scoot along on when they’re feeling a little more energetic.

Trunkis come with a sticker pack so the kids can customise them and they conform to current hand luggage size restrictions.

Bernard Bee Trunki should be £34.99 but is currently up for grabs at Amazon for £19.49 – I’d grab him at this price now, before you get stung at a higher price when Amazon put his price back up.

Tripp Luggage Deals @ Debenhams

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 4 August, 2010 at 12:00 pm

Tripp Luggage Deals @ DebenhamsLuggage. There's no getting away from it, it can be expensive but take heart because Debenhams have some great reductions on Tripp luggage at the moment.

I'm in the market for luggage!

I've come to the conclusion that people have a definite luggage personality - there are the plain black suitcase on wheels people (that's me) (was £135 and is now £59), the no-wheels-thanks-wheeled-cases-are-for-wimps people (was £49.99 is now £19.99), the travel-light-can-fit-everything-into-a-case-the-size-of-a-postage-stamp people (was £12 is now £7) and the loud HELLO-YOU-CAN'T-MISS-ME luggage people (was £135 and is now £40.50)!

I've always been a plain black suitcase kind of gal but having waited for A G E S for my case at the baggage carousel at Heathrow recently I began to question the sense of this.  You see, my black case looks the same as EVERYONE elses black case that's trundling round and round and round.

You know when they've all done one loop because someone's bright, loud and colourful bag has just gone round again; everytime you see that stand-out-from-the-crowd bag and yours still hasn't put in an appearance, you start to wonder if you've just missed it amongst all the other ones or whether it's sunning itself on the beach somewhere having got on a different flight!

If you're in need of some luggage then have a wander around the virtual aisles of Debenhams and see if they have something to suit your luggage personality and budget.

Dinosaur 4-Piece Luggage Set £9.99 @ Argos

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 21 July, 2010 at 9:00 am

Dinosaur 4-Piece Luggage Set £9.99 @ ArgosWhen you're  a boy of a certain age, any old bag or suitcase just won't do!

This 4-piece dinosaur luggage set from Argos could just make tears and tantrums over which luggage a thing of the past...they'd become extinct, you could say *hur hur*

I've lost count of the amount of times my boys got upset because they felt the bag I'd given them to pack their things in wasn't 'cool' or 'boy' enough, "It's girly! Everyone will laugh at me!" and no amount of, "No one's going to be looking at your bags, " would convince them otherwise.

This luggage set has a wheeled bag, gym bag, backpack and a purse although I wouldn't recommend you call it a purse - purses are for GIRLS! *sigh* - and they all have a dinosaur pattern which most definitely cannot be described as girly.

The dimensions for each are as follows:

  • Wheeled bag:   Size (H)46cm x (W)28cm x  (D)11.5cm
  • Backpack:  Size (H)26cm x  (W)23 x (D)7.5cm
  • Gym bag:  Size (H)38cm x (W)29cm
  • Purse (it's a WALLET!):  Size (H)10cm x  (W)14cm x  (D)4cm

Argos have reduced this 4-piece luggage set by £10, bringing it down from £19.99 to £9.99.  It's currently in stock for home delivery which will cost you £5.95, or you can collect it for free at a store near you if they have it in stock.
