This year, to coincide with Children’s Book Week, It’s Your Story is offering PlayPennies readers a free personalised eStory that is worth £2.50. The eStory can be read to 3-4 year olds and is also suitable for independent reading for up to nine years old.

The theme of Children’s Book Week is Heroes and Heroines and so the free eStory is the same theme. This hero and heroines book depicts your child as a fearless superhero, SuperSox, who squeezes through keyholds, blasts through walls and flies through the sky to rescue stolen teddies.

There is an animation on every page as well as the child’s picture and details that are personal to them. Just go to the site and enter PLAYPENNIES at the checkout and you will get your fantastic free eStorey to share with the kids.

Cheeky Wipes have offered PlayPennies readers 20% off everything in stock. They currently have a 20% off offer on pre-order stock, which this doesn't apply to, but whatever's there is yours for 20% less.

Save a fortune on wet wipes

• Discount: 20%
• Expires: 20 October 2012
• Exceptions: Does not include already reduced stock
• Discount Code: playpennies2

Cheeky Wipes are absolutely brilliant, whether you have a baby or not, and whether you use cloth nappies or not. For a cloth nappied baby, they're brilliant as they are super absorbent and what I normally need three or four wipes to clean, I can clean with one Cheeky Wipe.  For a toilet trained toddler or child they're just as brilliant as you don't have to go through tons of wet wipes in the normal day to day hand cleaning and face washing. They cost a bit up front, but they are exceedingly good value.

We've also used our Cheeky Wipes on two children now, so bought an extra set, but even so, they've saved us so much money on wet wipes.

If you're going for the whole kit, the two containers are a great idea for at home use, but the 'out and about' kit is excellent too as you can keep wet wipes with you. That said, a friend of mine always carries her around dry, because, as she says, most places we visit have running water, so she keeps them in her bag dry, wets them when she needs them, and pops them in the dirty bag ready to be washed.

If you've not used Cheeky Wipes before, I highly recommend it, both for your baby and your pocket!

We’ve worked with Kids Learn Languages in the past and they have always delivered some fantastic deals and services.

This is a great discount, especially with Christmas starting to loom ahead.

I already have my daughter’s Christmas presents all sorted out.

Anyway, I digress, the LucyRose discount is a brilliant spend saver and if you check back tomorrow at 1pm, you’ll be able to find out what Sarah thinks of the products that she was sent for review.

Around the start of the summer, I reviewed the School Year Calendar at KTwo Products, and now, on the cusp of the new term, it’s back, and for PlayPennies readers, there’s 50% off, making it just £5, all inclusive.

Have an organised start to the school year

• Discount: 50%
• Expires: 6 September 2012
• Discount Code: PLAYSCHOOL50

So, this calendar is normally £12.99, but it’s currently on offer anyway for £9.99. Take 50% off and it lowers the cost by an additional £4.99 to £5, and includes free delivery too.

What makes this a worthy purchase?

The calendar runs from August 2012 to August 2013 and has five columns on each page for up to five family members. There’s also a sixth column for birthdays . The school year calendar has no pictures, but instead has funky shapes and background colours. Each month’s ‘page’ has a pouch for keeping bits of paper, receipts, vouchers, notes, or invitations. Below the calendar there’s a sticky note pad, which is useful for shopping lists and reminders.

It also comes with a selection of ready-made stickers with things like ‘term starts’ and ‘term ends’ written on them. Other stickers include ‘School Photos’, ‘School Trip’, ‘School Event’ and ‘No School’ as well as dots in five colours for repeat events – like weekly rugby games in the example picture. Finally, there are stars and ‘black out’ strips for weeks of holidays or special events, or whatever you need it for.

We’ve all heard of Groupon (many of us have been stung by Groupon) and we all have had some great deals as a result. Some of us parents have wished for deals like this but more focused on kids and LittleBird heard and this is the result – a site dedicated to ace deals for kids and parents.

Protect your tech with free shipping

• Discount: Free Shipping
• Expires: 31 July 2012
• Discount Code: FreeShippingPhoneCase

Anyone with children will know how quickly your technology can be lost to smaller hands, and how clumsy said hands can be. I’ve lost count of the number of times my Blackberry has hit the ground with a thud – which may explain why it doesn’t work so well anymore actually. With what replacement phones cost, if you don’t have insurance, it’s worth investing a little into protecting your goods.

YourSurprise.com do fun, funky and gorgeous personalised phone covers, so if you want to go that route you can put a picture of your loved one, children, favourite place or almost anything you like in your pocket.

You can personalise a cover for your Blackberry Bold, Blackberry Curve, HTC Desire, iPad2 Case or Sleeve, iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S, iPod Touch, Samsung Galaxy S and S+ and Galaxy S2.

Toucan Box is a rather interesting and brilliant idea for the creatively challenged parents out here *ahem*.  They’re offering PlayPennies readers an exclusive 25% off a one month subscription on the Toucan Box so you can try it out.

See what you think about the Toucan Box

• Discount: 25% Off
• Valid on: Monthly subscription
• Discount code: plpe25

Basically, what the Toucan Box is, is a themed monthly box delivered to your door, full of crafty adventures for 3 – 6 year olds. It includes everything you need for the activities and they say all you need to add is imagination!

The single box is £19.95 (and you can add extra materials for extra siblings at £9.95 per child), so with the discount applied, you’ll pay £14.96 for the monthly subscription.  If you buy the box and extras, your total would be £29.90 with the discount applied it’s £22.43.

It seems like a lot of money, but when you look at what’s in the box and add up all the bits and the multiple trips to the shops, added to the  convenience it may actually be totally worth it!

It’s coming up for the long weeks of summer holidays again, and while we certainly don’t want to wish those away, getting ready for back to school well before the time will mean you can put it all out your mind till the day before, basically!

With that in minda, KTWO have offered PlayPennies readers a fabulous discount on their School Year Calendar, with a quarter off the original price.

Prepare for an organised year ahead with the school year calendar

• Discount: 25%
• Expires: 31 July 2012
• Discount Code: PPSYC25

With this code the calendar, which normally costs £12.99, is reduced to £9.74.

The problem with that is that it is then less than the free postage limit, meaning that if you buy the School Year Calendar on its own, adding £2.15 for postage brings you to £11.90 – which is still over £1 off.

You could, however, look at getting something else off the site, like the Baby Notes book for £1.99. If you do that, you’ll pay £11.73 – not much difference, but at least you’re getting something for it, rather than spending it on postage.

Of course there are plenty other brilliant things from KTwo you could buy and still get 25% off the calendar.

We've all seen and probably owned a baby record book, but once baby stops being a baby, there's not much on the market to help you record their growing up years. But KTwo products have brought out just such a book, and it is beautiful.  KTwo have offered PlayPennies readers an exclusive discount on this book: The normal cost is £19.99 but with the code below, you’ll receive 30% off the price, making it £13.99 – and since postage is free for orders over £10, that’s an added bonus.

Save your child’s school memories in one neat space

• Discount: 30%
• Expires: 31 May 2012
• Discount Code: PPCM30

The Childhood Memories book is the perfect gift for someone starting school. It spans eight years, so you can record all the details of these early years and have somewhere to save favourite pictures, little notes, birthday cards, report cards and everything else you might want to keep for posterity.

Available in pink and blue, the spines can be personalised with a sticker for your child’s name and pretty bow and insert make it look like a book or a box. It is really ingeniously done and so beautiful. I have something similar, though nowhere near as pretty, from my own childhood and every now and then I pull it out to check the details of something or just to wander down memory lane.

I have one of these for my daughter and will be buying another for my baby, in time. Working on PlayPennies, I can sometimes become blasé about special offers and great products, but this one still excites me and has done every time I’ve looked at it.

Your Surprise  has a range of gifts available for any occasion, and they have 10% off everything for PlayPennies readers.

I tested it out on this fabulous Creative Blocks Set. The first time I saw these I fell in love with them, and they make a fantastic gift when you want something that little bit special. I wish I'd been able to get them when my son was a pre-schooler. I know he'd have loved them, especially in those primary colours, and the lovely natural wood. These cost £19.99. The code took £3 off the total, reducing the price to £16.99.  Delivery is free on the site, on everything.

Cuddle dry on the beach, the bath or the changing table

• Discount:  20%
• Expires: 30 April 2012
• Discount Code: PENNIES20

If you’ve ever bathed a newborn baby, and struggled to juggle them and a tiny towel, you’ll appreciate just how stressful it can be! With the award-winning baby apron towel from Cuddledry though, baby bath times can be safe and snuggly.

Worn around your neck like an apron, the Cuddledry apron towel not only keeps you dry, but also means you have two hands free to be able to hold, wash and lift your baby.

Cuddledry’s double layer of signature blend pure cotton and natural bamboo makes their towels silky soft and extra absorbent, and ensures the quality lasts after every wash, even without using fabric softener.

The bamboo fibre is naturally antibacterial and organic, so does not irritate sensitive baby skin – ideal for newborns or eczema.

Cuddledry also have an SPF50 poncho towel, which is perfect for time spent on the beach or by the pool this summer.

Setting up for a new baby can be really expensive, especially if you want everything new. The NCT shop are offering PlayPennies readers an exclusive 10% off purchases made from their online store.

Support the NCT while saving yourself a few pennies

• Discount: 10% off £20+
• Expires: 30 April 2012
• Exclusions: Hire Services
• Discount Code: NCTPLAY

I reviewed the Caboo carrier we received from the NCT shop last week and the lovely people at the nations biggest Childbirth charity have been kind enough to give our readers 10% off the price of both the Caboo carrier and everything else in the shop.

That means 10% off all things pregnancy and birth, maternity and nursing, baby clothing, nursery items and bedding, bathing and safety equipment, nappies, feeding and weaning, traveling equipment, toys and even gifts for new parents. The only thing that seems to not be included in the offer is the Hire Services, so for example the TENS machine for use during labour.

Even so, there’s plenty to choose from and knowing the profits go to a charity certainly leaves me with a bit of a feel good buzz too.

Ok, so, YUM! How divine is this idea? A chocolate bouquet for a new mum and baby. I think that is the best way to say congratulations. So, we have a lovely 10% discount with BabyBlooms that you can use to shave some pounds and pennies off the original £34.99 cost of a box of chocolate flowers.

• Click here to bloom into chocolate with BabyBlooms

There are two different types of chocolate bouquet for you to choose from. They are both entitled Hearts and Flowers, but one comes in a cream box and the other in a black box. Not a huge distinction, obviously, but at least you have some level of customisation.

• Discount: 10% Off
• Expires: 31 August 2012
• Gift Voucher Code: PY10

It is worth noting, however, that this 10% discount also includes the rest of the BabyBlooms range (we reviewed them here) which is really stunning and well worth buying for someone very special. I am such a fan of the idea that I want someone close to me to PLEASE get pregnant already!

Emma reviewed the Playwrap from Bondie Bird a while back, and the lovely folks who designed this fantastic item have offered PlayPennies readers 15% off in time for Easter holidays and travels! Reduced from £29.95 to £24.46 this toy has a long lifespan too.

Play at home and away with the Playwrap

• Discount: 15%
• Valid until: 19 April 2012
• Discount Code: Playwrap15

The Playwrap is a circular shaped cloth with different things attached to it to entertain and stimulate babies from six months up. The Playwrap can be worn, draped around the body, stuck to a window, hung around the front seat headrest of the car and just sat in.

The features of the playwrap include loads of labels around the edge, all with different textures, a russtley butterfly, a spotty furry beanbag, a cuddly cow with a mirrored base, tinkly bells, wooden rings, extra loops at the side for attaching other toys, and a mirror on the back of the toy.

The wrap is double-sided which is great as there’s more to do on one side than the other, so it’s fab for stimulating younger, and later older babies.

Your order should be with you within one to three days, and if you want it faster, you can upgrade to an Express Courier at no additional cost, meaning you should have it with you in time for Easter travels and entertainment.
