Christmas and New Year
With Christmas less than a fortnight away, many Santas are finding they've left it a little too late to pick up the toy that their child simply must have. Consequently, in this hard-up climate, parents are forking out double or even triple the RRP for hard-to-find toys on places like ebay. Personally, as much as I love my kids, I'm looking to get their Christmas presents cheaper than retail by using vouchers and online deals, not pay three times as much.
Back in the seventies, when the average wage was about £90 a week (with many people falling way below that) parents couldn't even dream of paying over the odds for something just because their kids had been brainwashed by clever advertising into believing they wanted it. However, it's now possible to see just what was popular in the 70s, thanks to artist Anthony Voz who found an Argos catalogue from 1976 and has uploaded it page by page to the web.

Christmas and New Year
If anyone is hit hard by today's economy, it's jolly old Saint Nick himself. While everyone is tightening their belts the world over, Santa is well known for his rather rotund belly so that extra notch is going to take some breathing in! Fortunately for all you parents out there (and aunts, uncles, grandparents etc) it seems the High Street is giving us all a little extra breathing room by slashing the prices on some of the most popular kids' toys for Christmas and we've found some of the best deals so you don't have to!

Money Saving Tips
I consider myself hip. I'm also delusional. It's a killer combo. This year I've volunteered at a music festival, learnt to surf and am all too aware that Cliff Richard is still the king of cool. It's fair to say I have my finger on the pulse. But when I was asked if we'd like to receive and review a brand new children's toy and video game called Skylanders I was a little stumped. I referred instantly to my personal Wikipedia of children's trends and latest 'must haves' - my six-year-old son - and he was without hesitation like: "Well yeah, they are awesome, get with the programme, daaaaaaaad." Or words to similar effect. It was the children's toy AND video game that had me befuddled. Surely children's toys and video games are two separate things?

Cheerful News
With Easter just around the corner you might be suffering from chocolate overload every time you pop out to the shops, which is why our two
exclusive Sainsbury's voucher codes could be just what you need.
Instead of stocking up on chocolate Easter eggs for the kids, why not treat them to some new toys instead and save yourself £5 when you spend £50, or £10 when you spend £100 by using these
Sainsbury's promo codes.
That's a great alternative to chocolate hand prints and hyper kids this Easter Sunday!
