Kids walkie-talkies (SG4 hitchin)
Gifted
These mostly work - one of them works fine and you can listen and talk through it. The other can only listen - you can’t speak through it. Each one takes 4 x AAA batteries. If you do get these, take the batteries out when not in use as they drain down when you’re not using it, even if it’s switched off.

“Floating” picture frame - fix (SG4 hitchin)
NEEDS FIXING: This is a picture frame that has two pieces of glass for sandwiching a picture between the two so it looks like the picture is “floating” in the middle. The black bit used to be stuck to the front glass but it has come off, so the glass and picture keep falling out of the frame when the frame is propped up. Fixable I think if you want to have a go!

Lunchbox - bento (Japanese) (SG4 hitchin)
Bento-Style lunchbox that has different compartments. The clasps got slightly cracked (tried to show in photos) but it can still be closed and won’t break further if you’re gentle with it.

Inflatable lounger (deflates quick (SG4 hitchin)
Gifted
We have this inflatable lounger thing that can be inflated with the cold setting on a hair dryer or you can swoop it around outside and trap air in it, but there must be a hole in it somewhere as it deflates in about an hour. Kids really like it though so if you’re happy to keep inflating every hour or so, then hopefully kids will enjoy it. If you’re not sure what this is you can view the link here -

Grape leaves - fresh! today only (SG4 hitchin)
Expired
Just pruned our grape vine - these are great for dolmades (grape vine leaf wraps filled with rice) but will wilt and probably need to be picked up today or tomorrow morning.

Gas bbq barbecue (SG4 hitchin)
Gifted
BBQ still works, but the grill area is quite corroded. Still works but doesn’t look great. Note this is a gas bbq, not charcoal, so you’d need a gas tank to attach. Comes with a cover as well (although this is not fully waterproof).

Electric pepper mill - not working? (SG4 hitchin)
Gifted
We bought one of these about a month ago, then it just stopped working, we got a replacement, then the first one started working again. Then it stopped working and the other one worked but stopped working. Not sure if there is a loose connection inside or something but if anyone wants to try fixing one or both, they were good pepper grinders before they stopped working! Takes 4 AAA batteries.

Wheelie suitcase - carry on size (SG4 hitchin)
Gifted
Update: we managed to push the handle back in but it should be kept pushed in - if you pull it out it might not push in again. So can be used as a carry bag with a handle instead of a wheelie bag (although the wheels still work fine). 51 x 31 x 19cm - fits standard carry on measurements. Handle has broken - see last photo. Might be able to be fixed, but as of right now, it’s permanently pulled out and not attached on one side. Handle could be taken off if it can’t be fixed. Wheels work fine but it will be hard to wheel if handle is broken. There’s a carrying handle on the top and the side as well. Zippers are stiff, but they can be loosened up with Vaseline or similar.

Alarm clock digital (SG4 hitchin)
Gifted
Digital alarm clock that works but because there’s some corrosion where the batteries go, the contacts are a bit delicate so if you move it around a lot, sometimes the time resets. They could probably be sanded a bit to make better contact. Takes 3 x AAA batteries

Jars - clean (SG4 hitchin)
Gifted
A variety of clean jars that could be used for crafts, spice storage etc. Let me know which ones / how many you want. They do have sticky labels on, so those would need to be removed if you wanted to get rid of the label.

Doll house (SG4 hitchin)
Gifted
Used dollhouse, very large (119cm high x 80 wide x 30cm deep). Signs of wear and tear where pattern on floor has worn away. There is a lift that moves up a floor but it is pretty stiff, so you have to give it a good push

Lego advent calendar (SG4 hitchin)
Gifted
Partially used. Half of the advent boxes haven’t been opened. Each day comes with a small LEGO kit and a picture showing how to assemble. I will include the ones already opened and assembled. Once they are all opened, they can be used to play a board game. Lego are Disney characters, so this can be done as an activity even though Christmas is over.
