Really want to get the Nintendo Mini as a present for my dad but its proving to be impossible to source. I know he'd love it because he loved the original one he had when he was young, but I can't even seem to find anywhere to pre order it

I just googled "amazon Nintendo mini" and it brought up quite a few for sale including some new ones.

I bought one of them for my OH last Christmas as she had said she loved those games as a kid, think she used it once.

So... you're saying you have a second hand one that WhiteRoses can buy? :pac:

I am sure my OH wouldn't even notice. Sadly I am in the middle of the desert not that accessible and no postman.

Shopping has officially begun

I honestly can't even think of any way to keep a fish hidden inside the house :pac::pac:

Would it possible to keep it with a family member who doesn't live in the house until Christmas morning?

Hahahah I might have to ! That or put in hubby's work office hahaha

One year we bought my dad a kayak and hid it in the back garden of the house next door. (The house was unoccupied.) That's probably not an option for a fish, is it? :pac:

Posy

Please tell me that ye wrapped it!

Toto Wolfcastle

Nope! I really only remember being sent to the neighbour's house with my sister to pick it up on Christmas morning. Obviously if it was now I'd wrap it and add a bow.

Lol don't know if the neighbours would be happy fish sitting but we will find somewhere from him I'm sure.
I have this image of your dad scaling the fence and trying to quietly pass it over the into your garden in the mid of the night

Got a Sylvanian Families lighthouse heavily reduced in Smyths earlier this week. Our older daughter will love it so either we'll give it to her or her grandparents.
My wife picked up a few bits and pieces in TK Maxx today as stocking fillers for both girls so we're definitely underway!
