I'm getting organised well in advance this year!
I need to get some presents for my dad and stepmother. They are impossible to buy for, but I've hit on the idea of getting them activity type gifts that they can then play with their other two grandsons and my son - kids range from 7 and 4 years (other grandkids) to 1 (my son). As my son's younger it's fine if he can't take part for a few years, he's happy just playing silly faces for now.
They're spending Christmas with the other grandkids and seeing us just before, so I think I'm getting them the Christmas mould from Lakeland here www.lakeland.co.uk/16789/Fairy-Tale-Cottage-Mould - that seems like something that can be enjoyed every year for a while yet, don't know if the other grandchildren are into baking but surely every little boy will want to join in decorating a chocolate house?! And if not they can do it themselves and present the finished article as a present for the kids? I think my dad and stepmum will enjoy it.
I've never met the other kids, and I've no experience with children over a year old, so tell me... is this actually a rubbish idea?
