I saw a thread on 'what have you bought your dc's' that didn't end well at all so hope I'm not being incredibly dim starting this one! I always start doubting myself when I've finished buying for dd, especially as we're on a (relatively) small budget, wondering if I've got 'enough' - if anyone else feels the same maybe some mutual reassurance and sharing ideas would go down well?
£50 budget for dd, 11, (for presents & stocking - everything) - have got;
Candyfloss maker (£15 in sale)
Frozen & Monsters University dvds (£2 on TCB offer)
Hairbands, lip gloss & make-up bits (£10 in all)
Cheap ds game (£5)
2 tops & 3 pairs of socks (£4.50 thanks to Primark)
Board game (£1 new from charity shop)
Beano card game (£5)
Fox bag (£5 off Amazon)
... leaving just enough for chocolate & sweets to fill stocking
It's the first year there hasn't been an actual big 'toy' she's wanted (that I can find cheap in Black Friday or similar) so it all looks a bit 'just bits and bobs' but hope it's ok. The only things on her (just made) Christmas list were the ds game, clothes and the make-up bits so am hoping relatives will get more off her list.
Anyone else having present insecurity?
