Let kids aged 7+ relive happy holidays with the LEGO® Friends Vacation Beach House (41709) playset. It’s packed full of features and toys for kids to play out summer days by the sea. The house has 2 bedrooms, 1 with a bathroom and toilet, plus a balcony and rooftop pool, a kitchen and a living room. Outside, there’s a table-tennis table, jetty and an inflatable banana boat for thrilling action on the waves. Kids can explore all these features with 4 LEGO Friends characters.
Totally flexible fun
Because each element is modular, creative kids will love configuring the buildings however they choose! They can build 1 complete house, stack the rooms to form a taller structure, or create 3 separate buildings to make a beachside community. They can change the upstairs rooms around, bringing an endless freshness to the play.
Ramp-up the building fun

In the Northern Hemisphere, typical Western festive foods include things like stuffed turkey, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. There's usually snow outside and Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé playing in every mall. In South Africa, we still have Carey and Bublé everywhere, but no snow, and every family kind of decides what their own traditional feast will be. From honey-glazed gammon to snoek on the fire, or even just takeouts, we all just kind of do what we like.
One festive dish we simply cannot recommend enough, though, is pig trotters! No kidding! Sure, they take a helluva long time to cook (about 4 hours), they smell kinda funky and taste even weirder, but with enough salt, pepper, spice and desperation, they're not bad! And the best part is, they're a great source of collagen, which we all know is the latest craze as far as healthy skin and bones is concerned!
Alternatively, you can skip the pig trotters and just check out our main deal on 2 x 700g jars of Harvest Table collagen granules. They probably taste better and won't stink up your kitchen, either.
