I have no idea

Am tempted to bin present-buying for each other and suggest getting a new bathroom window

But is not really getting in the spirit of things, is it?

mine is getting a blu-ray player as our dvd player is broken! plus uno flash from ds and socks, pants etc for his stocking
Have got DD a Ralph Lauren oull-along suitcase thingy (overnight size), a Wii fit, a tassimo coffee thingy (he has been asking for years - I am hoping he keeps it on his desk in work and not in out kitchen), a photo calendar from DD and DS, and i;ll get him a couple of stocking filler things as he has been a good boy this year! :-)
I meant DH, not DD. :-)

Hmmm, I only have around £40 to spend on him.

He'd LOVE a Wii thingy, or an Xbox. Could I make one out of card and sticky back plastic do you think?

What a good idea to hint to your kids that it's time to leave home Ferris! wink
Absolutely :-)

How about a used one from Game? Not sure how much they are tho.

Well I've looked at used Nintendo DSs on Ebay as I had a vague notion of getting dd one, but they are going for around £60 used, so I needn't bother looking at the Xboxes.

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
