Anyone seen similar but cheaper?

It's for an 8 year old, so poncho towels are out (unless really big I guess).

[Becci]

Here's one for £19.99

Have a look in the next month or so in Boots. They do them every year and they're fab!

[Cymber]

Wow you're good Becci - thanks for all those links.

Ta Kat!

[Becci]

No worries.. I like a challenge!

Well in that case, I have a 10,000 word disi, 2 x 2,500 word essays, a presentation and another 2,000 word case study to write by mid May. I'll keep you readily supplied with tea and biscuits!! :tongue:

[Becci]

Mmm.. tempting (of course), but I'm not that good with words. Give me code and data any day!

I think the Boots ones might not go up to big enough sizes, Blonde Girl was on the hunt recently.

I think I can squeeze my DS into last years stripey one, but I really love the Boden stars, I am itching to buy one!

I bought a ds a mahoosive poncho from http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Poncho-Towel-Towcho-Purple-Bath-Beach-Pool-New-/110558498468?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Bathroom_Towels_PP&hash=item19bdcccea4 Up to 10 years.

It was about £6 delivered, I think they do other designs etc.

[fifitrix]

I thought I posted but the site had a blip; anyway John Lewis has them at about £16:

Ooh that might work, although I do quite like the idea of a long top thing.

I can't see them :hissyfit: , could you do me a link please? :pray:

Just bumping this because John Lewis do have a boys one IRL, it is blue with orange stars (I think, it could be the reverse). A poncho towel style. Cymber, if you wanted I could pick you one up if you don't live near a JL.

I noticed that the Boden ones (with the exception of the stripes) have reviews mentioning poor fabric and more velour than towelling this year, so giving them a miss I think.

[Sparkly]

Cymber, I've seen quite a few in TK Maxx if you're near one... didn't check sizing but they're this shape, but in navy with white stars & around £6.99.

They only go up to age 6 :happyno: I wanted one for D so I double checked with boots and they told me their clothes only go up to age 6 still even with their new range.

Next only do girls :rolleyes:

I've ordered the stripy boden one as that got good reviews rather than the sharks one.

Used a £10 voucher they sent me plus a 15% code, still worked out about £20 each though! I have got them in massive sizes so they should get a couple of years wear :fingerscrossed:

I got some fabulous cheapy ones for Emma from Dunelm Mill years ago, and am now desperate to get some for Matty (naturally Dunelm Mill don't have them any more!), so thanks for this thread! :thumb:

[noo noo]

If anyone is after a girls one in age 5-6 I have one on ebay at the moment

This may be a bit late in the day, but they have hooded 'poncho' towels at Play.com atm for £5 each (free delivery) - some great character ones: http://www.play.com/Toys/Toys/0-/Search.html?searchtype=TOYS&searchsource=0&searchstring=Hooded+Poncho&P36=TMULZV&affid=hotukdeals&awc=buyat&_$ja=tsid:11516|prd:hotukdeals

I've just ordered a Thomas one and a Chuggington one for DS!

[August Girl]

I saw some in Asda yesterday

[manclass]

Ethel Austins - I bought one for under a tenner, it was technically a childrens but being short has it's upsides at times - they had them from age 4 upwards I think
