Twister Beach Towel £12.89 @ FireboxIf you love Twister - and who doesn't! - then you need to be the proud owner of this Twister beach towel; Firebox are selling it for £12.89 instead of £21.49.

I've always loved playing Twister - I think it's even more fun playing it as an adult, after a couple of glasses of wine, than it was playing it as a child.

I've been wracking my brains to try and think when I first played it; I'm fairly sure it was with my cousins during one of our, now infamous, family Boxing Day parties.

I also have a bit of a thing for towels; plain ones in different colours for the different bathrooms, dark ones specifically for drying down muddy dogs in the winter and BRIGHT ones for the beach - you can't have plain and boring beach towels, it's just not right!

You'll be the envy of all other beach goers who'll wish they TOO had a Twister beach towel, complete with inflatable dice to tell you which move you must make next - OH yes, you can actually play Twister as well as dry yourself off after a dip in the sea!

It measures 128cm x 158cm and I WANT ONE!

It's currently in stock at Firebox and they won't charge you a penny for delivery; marvellous.

Happy Twisting!

Disney Beach Towels (Can Be Personalised Too) £9 @ Disney.co.uk

Disney Beach Towels (Can Be Personalised Too) £9 @ Disney.co.ukIf you go over to the Disney store online you can pick up Disney character beach towels for £9.00 instead of £15.00.

I love towels.

I adore opening the airing cupboard door and seeing piles and piles of soft fluffy towels all folded neatly, and bundled together in the right colours.

Thankfully I've grown out of wanting Disney character towels, otherwise I could be in big trouble.

You see, when there are normal towels on sale I have an almost overwhelming urge to buy several of every size of them; I don't, however, have any desire to have fluffy stacks of Disney towels.

They are rather lovely though - measuring 152 x 80cms - and can be personalised with your child's name (as long as it's not more than 12 letters long).

They are 100% cotton, machine washable and there are lots and LOTS to choose from, for both boys and girls.

Hooded Poncho £5 @ Play.com

Play.com have tons of hooded ponchos, perfect for swimming or bath time on sale for £5, with free delivery. These are normally around £9.99, so this is a nifty little half price sale, just in time for spring and holiday planning.

The hooded poncho towels are 115x50cm, machine washable at 40C and can be tumble dried.

The designs available for £5 are:

And there's also Spongebob Grin which for some reason is only £4.99, making this one an even 50% saving.

As I said, these all have free delivery and should usually be dispatched within 24 hours to 2 weeks, depending on which one you choose.

Marks And Spencer Homeware - Up To 50% Off

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 10 March, 2011 at 11:00 am

Marks And Spencer Homeware - Up To 50% OffIf you're quick you can save yourself up to 50% on selected Marks and Spencer Homeware items.

Ohhh I've spent many a happy hour mooching around the Marks and Spencer Homeware department, and a good couple of thousand of pounds at least in my time.

But I LOVE Marks and Spencer Homeware things and you really can't go wrong with it, whilst it's not the cheapest homeware on the block it's certainly some of the best quality.

So, there are lots of things in the Marks and Spencer Homeware 'Up To 50% Off' sale, I'm sure you don't r e a l l y need me to tell you what's counts at homeware...but that's what I'm paid to do so here goes.

In the Marks and Spencer Homeware bathroom department you can save up to 50%  on towels - essential ones and 100% Egyptian Cotton ones; I daren't look, I have a bit of a weakness for towels.

In the bedding department you'll find some lovely savings to be had on, yep you've guessed it, bedding *grin*

The other departments which come under the Marks and Spencer Homeware banner are 'kitchen' where you'll find all sorts of must-have kitchen accessories, then there's soft furnishings to drool over (another weakness of mine) along with luggage, home accessories, stationery and gifts and technology.

The Marks and Spencer Homeware sale is always very popular and the best bargains are snapped up fast, so don't dilly-dally if you're in the market for homeware and want to save some, not inconsiderable, pounds.

Ben 10 Beach Towel £5 @ Marks and Spencer

Ben 10 Beach Towel £5 @ Marks and Spencer

Yes I know we're not going to get any more beach weather until next summer, but this Ben 10 beach towel will be a big hit with any little (or grown up) Ben 10 fan!

Do I need to tell you anything about Ben 10?

It seems I'm in such a small minority of people who really don't know much about it!

Everyone keeps telling me to hook up to the Cartoon Network and watch Ben 10: Alien Force...apparently this is different from the normal Ben 10 *shrugs shoulders*

I'm resisting; I've  managed to get along ok in life, so far, without Ben 10 in it and I reckon that will carry on if I don't become assimilated!

All I know is my youngest is a HUGE fan and, in his opinion, his life would be SO much better if he had this Ben 10 beach towel.

I can hear him now, "It's not just for the beach mum! I could use it for swimming or when I get out of the bath...or...to dry my hands!"

This, now, much coveted Ben 10 towel was £9.50 but has been reduced to £5; it measures 137cms x 70cms, is made from 100% cotton and is machine washable (are there any towels that aren't?) and can be thrown in the tumble dryer too.

Bath Towel Bargains @ Duvet and Pillow Warehouse

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 7 August, 2010 at 11:00 am

Bath Towel Bargains @ Duvet and Pillow WarehouseOhhh I'm in SO much trouble! I adore towels. I don't need any more towels. It will take all my super powers of restraint to tell you about these towels and NOT buy any.

I love opening the airing cupboard door and seeing piles and piles of soft fluffy towels all folded neatly, and bundled together in the right colours.

There is something amazingly comforting about wrapping yourself up in a soft cotton bath towel, warmed on the radiator whilst you've been in the shower. These classic white bath towels measure 70cms x 140cms and have been reduced from  £12.32 right down to £3.50, which is an absolute bargain for a 500gsm cotton towel.

Standard delivery is £4.95 and whilst it sounds a lot, I'm assuming you're not in the market for just one towel because that would make this one of the worst deals in history; however, if you're looking to replace your towel collection, or creating a new one from scratch, then you're going to save yourself a fair few quid here as there are lots of towel bargains up for grabs.

I went to a private beauty spa which was run by a Russian lady and she had THE softest towels in the world! I asked her to tell me her secret and this is what she told me:

  • DON'T ever use fabric softener when you wash towels - it doesn't make them softer it just reduces their absorbency.
  • DON'T dry them in direct sunshine - this will make them go crispy!
  • DO tumble dry your towels on a low heat for just enough time to dry them, not enough time to cook them.

10 Piece Towel Bale £4.49 @ Halfcost

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 28 May, 2010 at 9:00 am

10 Piece Towel Bale £4.49 @ HalfcostYou can never have too many towels!

Looking in my airing cupboard and seeing neatly folded piles of towels is, for me, one of the simple pleasures in life.  The thing is, with toddlers and teenagers in the house these piles dwindle...FAST!

Jumping in and out of the paddling pool 100 times a day with little friends means my youngest is partially responsible for depleting household towel stocks; a teenage boy who has discovered that girls prefer males of the species who shower every day has a small towel mountain on his bedroom floor, and don't even get me started on teenage girls and bath towels!

So when deals like this come up my heart sings -  the expensive, posh towels are firmly hidden away for guests and for me and the kids can use and abuse the cheaper ones without breaking my heart.

The towels in this 10-piece bale are 100% cotton and comprises: two 110 x 60cm bath towels, two 80 x 45cm hand towels, two 45 x 30cm guest towels and four face cloths and are available in chocolate, white or chambray.

Use promotion code FF15 to drop the published price of £4.99 to £4.49 - now, standard delivery is £3.99 but if there are other things that you need which are available from Halfcost and will take your order over £50 then P&P will be free.
