Still a while off but im sure like alot ive already bought quite a few bits, Ive just seen a status on fb from my sister saying she had bought her kids all their main presents already and has asked people not to buy toys only clothes. I commented and said oh shit already got all four of their presents (all toys), cousin then commented and said she felt the same and only wants clothes for her dcs which is a bummer since already bought her kids aswell. Do I give them or take back shop?
We are on a 5.00 limit for our neices and nephews this year so buying clothes would end up costing more unless only bought 1 tshirt or top or something but would feel like I was been tight, the presents I have bought have been reduced or brand new from ebay so atleast it looks like ive spent a bit.
Sil also annoyed me abit at weekend its her sons 11th birthday and oh had asked what to get him and she said clothes or xbox games again would cost a bit dont mind paying more for birthdays but then she went on about christmas and that her 9 year old dd isnt into toys anymore so to buy her a onesie or something useful and then went on to say hope nobody buys any cheap stationery sets this year which is ironic because I had my eye on a 1d set I keep seeing wont bother now.
Think its useful parents give ideas but wish people would consider some of us are on budgets. And im the total opposite if someone will ask what they want and I cant think of anything ill say stationary or art stuff at least I know it gets used eventually
